Why won't 1.1 have dungeon finder?

I never said I was an ahole.

It would eliminate the need for /1 spam. What's wrong with that? You can still make friends, you can still get into a guild. What exactly is your point?

Why are you so insulting? I have not said a single negative word to you.

I am saying the same thing over again because its a very valid point. You are also wrong, using the LFD is never mandatory. You can still group with your guild and friends. How does the LFD impact that?

I grouped with my guild all the time, just used the LFD if no one else was around.

Of course it is.

What you want: Provide specific information about your character and game content you are interested in to the people who want to know this kind of information and can make use out of it, this information should be persistant and not restricted by time.

What you actually do: Send many messages in a periodically fashion (because a chat is not designed to use persistant information) over a general purpose channel to all members of the same region, the majority of these people is probably not interested in this kind of information.

This means that a lot of people are getting unwanted messages of the same kind, this is considered spam.



And this has nothing to do with socializing. Writing "LFG" messages and using a group finder are both tools that i want to use to be part of a group - I don't want to chit-chat, I want a fragging group. The first tool is not efficient of course.

[e]And the /who tool with it's ~20 visible character limitation can't be used either to store the amount of information I want to be advertised.[/e]

Of course you're not seeing it, if you don't search for it from the start ... That's what you LFD people don't understand...

See my above comment. As a matter of fact, my dungeons are always very chatty.
Social hint that also works irl : if you don't spark a bit of conversation, it never comes.
Hey you can even use this hint to approach a girl you have a crush on !

But it will be for sure more active on the gen chat than WoW. You can't argue with that.

Non heroic guilds. Simple as that. And once again, arguing against that would prove you didn't follow your server's community.

Implementing a LFD isn't making an option, it's making as mandatory as a "give me loot now" button. It kills all the necessity to interact with others to reach a goal. The goal here being to form a group.

Even if just 10% of the people don't like the LFD tool and spam chat instead, that's about 1000 people per server, many of those tanks and healers that could be in your party working towards completion, but instead choose to do things the faster and safer way for them ("healer and tank lf 2 dps", instant group with the ability to screen applicants), while the majority is waiting in a queue while grinding solo content.

Edit: Also, for some reason, I found that on the republic side of things tank/heal/dps ratio is much more enjoyable. Dunno why.

The point is that you reduce the wait time for a flashpoint a LOT for people. People dont have to be in the station and spam the general chat, they can actually be out there questing and farming, playing the game while he waits for the flashpoint.
Staying at the station spaming the general chat with LFG is not "getting friends". It is simply dead play time.
Only fanbois and trolls think it is good for the game having people waiting for an houre to get flashpoint.

ok well i guess i can say it one more time and i will say it slow for you challenged ones in here with us tonight "A F T E R A F E W M O N T H ' S A N L F G T O O L B E C O M E S M A N D A T O R Y"

and as far as having enough people claiming there is a wait, i only see about 10 different people on this forum post claiming that so to me that is not very many considering the large number of player's in this game.

Because this is a different game and we dont want the stench of a corpse ( WoW) to infect this game with that LFD tool that destroys the community of servers

Guess you are as blind as a bat. This game is a WoW clone as it is. You alredy have the "stench" of WoW all over the game.

And no, the LFD did not ruin the game, a lot of things put to gether did. Include the CROSS-SERVER LFD, not the server-only LFD.
