Give me a legitimate reason to NOT have a LFD tool.

Well, hey, it worked in a game designed for the wal mart masses, why not, eh? Can't beat em, join em, yadda yadda. Sounds wonderful, cant wait.

Neither side can say with certainty that more people want it or don't.

However it is probably a fair assumption that the various companies who run Rift, WoW, and SWTOR get more positive than negative feedback on LFG tools.

I can't provide any evidence other than that mmo companies continue to implement these tools and attempt to improve upon them. If they were abject failures they would likely phase them out and future mmo's would not implement them.

As for the arguments. The reason they likely get more positive feedback is simple: LFD tools allow access to content to a larger number of people.

If you are arguing AGAINST LFD tools you are arguing that certain groups of people should not have access to content unless they play the amount of time and the way you do.

I rarely joined server-created groups because much of the time I end up having something come up irl and not being able to finish the run seems a bit unfair to other people - quite frankly it is much easier and less of a dick-move to leave a LFG group because the group can quite simply queue back up and add another player. Server-side groups can not, they go back to spamming channels LFG for blah except they are already in the dungeon and it's not always as simple as just going back to wherver and spamming.

Many of the people who despise LFG are those who dont NEED it to do content and have a superiority complex about their gear score. THey hate the idea that a casual player like myself can now get gear scores close to their own even though I don't spend 90% of my day online and have other responsibilities i attend to irl.

Yawn.

So what was your point again?

The problem isn't the existence or absence of an upgrade LFG tool. The problem is THE COMMUNITY.

When you have a game where you can pretty much solo through all the way to level 50; and continue soloing from there (I know plenty of un-guilded people that run end-game content) what is the point of finding a group, EVER?

There isn't one. Heroic quests for example; most everyone I know skips them now because it's a complete waste of time. No one wants to look for a group for 30 minutes. Plain and simple, it's a community issue, and also partially the developer's doing as well.

The state of the game right now, with little to no bug fixes, this thing isn't made to last a year.

Uh - the game companies are the ones implementing lfg tools not the players.

The simple fact of the matter is you still have a choice.

If your guild is running content right now or running with a group of people, as you suggest people are, then why would an lfg tool affect that at all? Thats rhetorical btw.

You are suggesting that your guild will what? Stop running content as a guild if an LFG tool is implemented? That says more about your guild than the OPTIONAL tool.

What? Did you actually read it? We all can notice problems, but I know for a fact I don't have the creativeness or imagination or whatnot to come up with something better. But that doesn't mean I can't point out flaws I see. That's what I said. Not whatever that was that you pulled out of who knows where.

EDIT: Don't know if you edited your post or a mod did, so if it was a mod and they want to trim the quote, feel free to.
