You need to get friends, socialize, and stop blaming the game for your shortcomings.
Guess what you could still do even if a lfd existed. Yup, you could still clear those with your guild every evening.

Can we close up this thread now? Beebles has pointed out that the sole factor for being unable to find a group is some kind of personal fault with the players themselves and not due to other possible factors.

Thanks everyone for participating glad we figured this out.

Friends list and guild -- rarely at the same level or doing the same missions, people don't play at the same pace and this game has no teaming system for missions you've already done, you're ineligable. Even once everyone is 50 it's hard to find people on that list who are playing at the same time and haven't done the FP you're looking to do.

And WHAT?! Everyone looks for FPs on the fleet, if they're on planet, they're doing that planet's missions... are you kidding me? Have you even played this game? lol

So sick of people saying the same crap about community and socializing, like they're just regurgitating indoctrinated messages. How is there more socializing and community interaction by shouting in general chat for a half hour then teaming with strangers anyway? If it went faster with a LFG tool, the end result would be the same, and it would waste less time. Stop saying meaningless nonsense lol

I'm all for it, provided there is a cross-server system for friends etc.

When I meet decent people in a PUG run not ever seeing them again stinks. I'm all ofr cross-server mechanics provided the walls between servers become very thin.

Someone playing on the planet may want to join you. Just because they aren't on the Fleet doesn't mean they wouldn't want to run a FP as well. You need to broaden your search area.

And FYI, most planets have a shuttle that leads directly to the fleet, and everyone has an innate ability to instantly TP there. There is literally no downside to asking on a planet as well as the fleet.

They should add cross server and a cross server friend's list so you can continue to group with people you like, or friends who may have rolled on different servers.

These are social games, you need to reach out and make friends. Instead of smashing a button to be conveyor belted into another heavily nerfed instance with random strangers.

WoW has had to dumb down its content to accommodate unorganized pugs, sometimes pugs that don't even speak the same language.

LFD dumbs down the community, it dumbs down the game, it dumbs down the challenge.

It would be just like queuing for warzone, you could do it with a group.
