I'm betting it was done for that reason among others.

Still, I'd argue that it's implimentation would not do much to a community that is already mostly non-existant.

This guys is 100% right. however it is hard to fight prejudices. The good news is that Bioware agrees and announced a cross server LFG tool.
Deal with it people.

I do not see how you come to the forums and say you spent 2 hours lfg and didn't accept any of the groups being spammed in chat.

If no one is spamming then maybe most aren't looking for group because the following.

They prefer to play solo.

They are in a guild and run group content with a guild.


I picture all the pro LFG people standing in a room saying they wish they had people to do stuff with and then they all leave by themselves.
The problem is some of them deliberately avoid joining these spam groups or use the current LFG tool to validate their point. The other part is a lot of people just don't know about the current tool and/or have misconceptions with what it can and cannot do. You saw it in this thread about the guy only thinking he'll see the people in Fleet when checking who's LFG.

I have logged in seen people asking for members for their group in fleet. I open up the who window and type lfg in the search box. I sort by level and see one or 2 people who are flagged LFG that the person can invite on other planets or in a warzone. I inform them, they say thanks and move on. YET after ALL that people still refuse to use the tool.

I know some people who are in guilds that have a different experience.

I am 50, did my first group stuff a few days ago.

I wasn't lfg, I wasn't flagged lfg, and yet I managed to find myself in a group and we had tons of fun doing heroics and knocking of quests for each other.

I was even asked to join a guild.

Theres a difference between heroics and FPs or am I misunderstanding you?

Just spent the last hour in Fleet w8 for a simple BT HM grp, even tried forming one.
Try telling me that my server doesn't need a LFG tool even just a server one and not cross server.

P.s I know how hard it can be to form grps thats why I always try to form one myself first, it's not a hard thing to do if ppl are about
