WoW's LFD tool works. Copy it and change the font or something if you need to feel special(hint to BW).

I sat 4h in Vaiken dock at prime time on imperial side tonight and I managed to do one(!) BT hardmode.. And Imperials have the numbers on my server too.

I logged out in disgust and will not log back until there is a cross server LFHM and LFops tool.

I can understand a Need for some sort of LFG/LDR/LFD tool for what may be low population servers or for those who are on when most of the population is sleeping.

We do have a LFG tool that is horrid and could use some work to make it easier and more viable for the server/s and people on.

I am not one for LFD/LFR tools that I have been a part of because they are abused in different ways.

There is no "community" from "your" server, and that leads to more anonymity and abuse that goes with being "unknown", and lacks the affect of being blacklisted from the overall community for your actions.

If, if, there is going to be a LFD/LFR/LFG cross server there Must be an Ignore that covers the cross server boundaries.

I will not Tank nor Heal for those that do not deserve my time.

And of course, then there's the problem of wanting to do dailies whilest also wanting to do a dungeon. With the way the current LFG system is set up (again, unless I'm missing something here), it simply isn't viable to go to Belsavis or Illium, do your dailies while also LFG, since you never know how many people are going to be on either planet as opposed to the fleet at any given time, and even if there are people, it's a guarantee there will be less there than on the fleet for most servers.
Exactly. A whole lot of ppl doing Ilum and Belsavis dailies would benefit since flashpoints are at the same progression stage.

its pointless to say i agree and the reasons plus my opinion on this topic. Obviously this is needed.
And even if not needed people want it, so please do it ASAP.

Just posting here because my Consular is level 46 and as I get closer to 50, I dread the lack of a proper LFG tool. Please add this by 1.2 or at least give us a status update on it by then. Will it be in 1.3? Will it be cross-server? Will it have options for same-vs-cross server? Will it give me extra commendations to give extra incentive? Will it gently stroke...sorry wandered off there.

Just please communicate with us. I am a sad Jawa.

Maybe just hint that we'll know something by next week at the Guild Summit? That Stephen Reid will us some new info.

Please... I'll be good. Don't punish us anymore.

Don't make me use anymore icons to plead and beg.

Pros:

1. Can continue questing while waiting for group to form.
2. Prevents trolls from sitting there ruining General Chat while they are bored trying to fill a group.
3. Proves that BioWare can do something like this. Buys street creds.

Cons:

1. Some people think it ruins the community...but I think they are wrong. They obviously have not sat for an hour trying to fill a Flashpoint group.
2. People who think like that are probably in a huge guild and have no trouble filling groups. We're usually filling 2-3 of 4 and just need that last role.
Pro #2 is false. It increases "trolls" likelyhood to sit and ruin General Chat because they are bored waiting for their FP to pop. If they were busy LFG, this would not happen.

Pro #3 is pointless. "Street creds?" Seriously?

Con #1 is opinionated.

Con #2 I'm not sure what you were referring to with "think like that". My guild has 3 people that are not in level range of each other and I have no problems filling/finding groups, because there are always people looking in General Chat on the Fleet.

rushers need it to rush even faster...

low population may need it but it would better to close the server and merge it somewhere else...


bottom line there are other ways if possible to solve this

Was around 2001 when I was set down in Jueno waiting for a group...
After 12 years Bioware did not find a better solution than Square Enix in Final Fantasy XI?

Now I find myself in the same situation... flagged and sit down waiting for a group, unable to do anything else... this gives me the feeling of wasting my time!

If Bioware is anable to create a proper tools... at least can do a FLG Channel that can work like a Global Chat, so you can looking for a group while questing...

But, while in FFXI you had to go to Jueno for several reasons, we do not have any reason to go to the Fleet, and this is the reason why not have a LFG tools is, for me, a game design error.

And please explain to me how to write "LFG for XXXFP" in a chat that you can read only if you are on the fleet, helps to socialize...

(sorry for my terrible english ^^

Im at the point where I dont even log in anymore and just go back to WoW and I dont even relaly like playing wow. I want to play SWTOR but its super frustrating
This is just how it is for me, especially when not peak time. I actually have not subscriebed for wow yet, but I am very close to... God, I do so not want to return to that, this game is so much better! I just ain't motivated to start forming groups anymore, especially when there is nothing else to do meanwhile, like fishing or dueling.

So i am up to 4 level 50's now. No i did not rush i didnt space bar thru the quest, I played them all just normally.
My game consist of running dailies on 4 toons the logging off to run cross server lfg in rift with my wife.
Log back in at raid times and log off.
3 of the 4 toons have never seen the inside of a instance other than raid ops.

Beginning to think a lot of that 200 hour play time they said it take was sitting in fleet spamming for a group.
