Never seen a valid argument against the LFD

I have seen people posting for and against the LFD but I have never really seen any rational argument against it.

Argument:

LFD killed the WoW community and before the LFD there was a great solid community.

umm, what WoW did you play? The WoW community was full of ninja looters, cry babies, and general jerks long before the LFD was ever invented

Argument:

LFD killed guilds.

Guild ranks is what hurt guilds, the LFD made people want to group with the guild first and use the LFD only if they had to. If anything it made guilds stronger.

Argument:

Looking for people in trade channels builds friendships and a better community

umm, what? spamming a channel is spamming a channel and nothing more. Remember the LFD tries to group you with people on your own server first in WoW, giving you more chances to meet people then spamming a channel ever could.


I have never seen a valid reason against the LFD, all I have seen are people remembering something that never actually excited, this super tight server community in WoW.

I never get why people say LFD makes people behave like jerks because they're anonymous and without repercussion.

In all of my experiences in using LFD I may have encountered bad players once or twice out of a hundred times. Usually people have the same goal, going through a dungeon and successfully completing it for the rewards therein.

FAR more often than not, I would find friendly players ready to get a dungeon done! And it was SO convenient. No more sitting around for two hours spamming for an invite or trying to form and balance a team. Even if I ran into an AWFUL team and had to restart a dungeon, I could do it three times over before I'd find a group in the old spam general chat method. I'd much rather be dying with a bad team repeatedly than spamming text and standing in one spot just waiting for something that might never even happen.

So I really wonder where these bad experiences came from in LFT.

No lfd tool sucks, period. The only thing you can do is stand at the fleet spamming for hours hoping you get a group. At least if I could Q myself up I could go do some dailies or something while I wait. As it stands now your community consists of nothing but "LFG DPS HM BT" spam all night every night.

To be honest if you want community get tight with a guild. I have no time nor desire to get to know the 5 thousand other people I share a server with. It's not a knock on you guys at all as I'm sure most are pretty cool it's simply a matter of wanting to actually play the video game I bought instead of standing around.

Lastly we're getting ahead of ourself anyway. Bioware has yet to figure out how to get you into a warzone over 50% of the time w/o putting you back to the character selection screen. With that said I'm pretty sure implementing a LFD tool would be a bit over their heads.

Same, even if they had such bad experiences it's not the tools fault, but the people themselves. Why blame something that is helpful and useful to many players?

if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. No one is ever forcing you to go that route.
