Whilst a cross-server FP queue is something that would likely make me quit (simply because it makes it less of an MMO, more of a theme park, but I respect that others disagree ), the amount of ninjaing due to unaccountability will be rife. Look at how bad it is now and multiply it by 10.

Well that ninjaing can be sorted by BW in a day.

Oh here we go with the ninja excuse again. You community types promised us this wouldn't be a problem because the "community" would fix it.

Well guess what... you were wrong. It's time to leave that sorry excuse behind.

I am all for a cross server LFG tool, as I am with dual spec. As far as "hurting the community" goes you can still group with the friends you've made and run dungeons, it's just they aren't always online. The LFG tool never hurt my WoW community, and I doubt it will hurt this one...

Basic fact in all of this. Bioware -- as does Blizzard -- knows exactly who is participating in group work, how often, and how much of the level cap population is actually participating in instanced content.

Blizzard played with LFG tools for years before settling on one that upped participation significantly. Bioware most likely looked at that participation percentage and moved right towards cross server LFG tools.

Why? Not enough people are participating. Anyone with a brain could have predicted this, and it's very, very likely that introducing such a tool will up participation and increase high level player retention.

In short, the anti-LFG folks were wrong. Again.

If so many are spamming chat with LFG why are so many people ignoring it?

If there is no LFG in chat it couldn't be that most are in a guild and don't look outside the guild?

Could it be that if they need one or 2 more members they go with companions?

If I was to believe the LFG tool people I would imagine 100 people standing next to each other saying they wish they had people to do stuff with and after talking about it they all leave.

A LFG tool is great so long as you have easily pugged content. I.E. no vent, no spending 10 minutes typing out each fight, no calling out CC for every pull, content easy enough most can do it, etc.

They will need to put in gear checks as well so people don't get stuck with a level 50 wearing all level 41 greens.

tl;dr - if the LFG tool turns into a wipefest people simply won't use it.

I'm ok with gear and level checks before you can queue for a specific flashpoint. It works.

its a loss when it comes to cross server wz and FP's it killed wows fun aspect with people being rude and hate filled to others for stupid reasons.

go look at wows forums people still post each day how rude people are or how they get kicked for being new.



its bad all around it can be done right (unless server only).



i really hope they only do it for PVP and stay clear away from it for PVE. i dont want another stan around hub game.


(But you cna always look for gorups you say??? NO it wont work that way in wow i try to form a gorup NEVER HAPPENS! people rather press one button and eat a samich and check face book and not have fun)

I have no need to lie. The proof is in the game. Why do you think there is Tank and Healer gifts when using the LFD que? Because DPS have to wait a very long time. That was part of Blizzards plan to get more Tanks and Healers to play so DPS didn't have to wait so long in ques.
