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

1.) You can make your own group much quicker than LFD tool can.

Haha the best post ive read in a while

Here is the so called "social aspect" some idiots are fighting so desperately for:


LFG <flashpoint>

"me"
"inv"
"yo"
"how long is it?"


If you wanna be social, the flashpoint is great for that. LFG is better with a tool, and you don't have to travel to find people.

Not if you have more social skills than Mute at a speed-dating event.

I always try to be social in FPs, I'm not talking constantly but the odd remark at whatever is happening or helping people. (The first time I did Athiss two people in the group were trying to tank the Blood/Fire ball things on the last boss when they were attacking them)

Also when I've grouped with people who I recognise I might talk about it. X-Server LFDs will just about ruin this aspect of the game and lead to pure ********s and Elitists leaving groups because THEY think the groups gear isn't good enough, why should it matter to them? They can always get another group.

Realy mine goes like this:

• <Looking for Group>
• Me
• Invited
• Let's go
  
• <During Flashpoint>
• Random jokes about how they left the troops on the enemy ship.
• Did we just leave our door? I don't wanna die!!!
• Spoiler

  Can I salvage HK47's personality processor and stick it in my useless droid on my ship?
• Way to go CCing that pat.
• Hey perhaps you could use hots on those who don't take a lot of dmg often to conserve resources so you don't run out.
• (Stuff like that)
  
• <End of Flashpoint>
• Man you guys rocked.
• Nice work.
• You all doing anything else?
• Can't tonight but we can defiantly run something else another time.
  
• <Add to friends list>

Mine seems more fun.

I think the LFG tool in WoW conditioned players to be anti-social and far less considerate, the results are quite evident...I just don't see how people can deny this. So if Bioware does decide to add this tool, they should also consider adding the ability to add friends from other servers as well as cross-server chat. (I see a server-only LFG tool kind of pointless and won't reduce queue times much, I think.) This will encourage socializing again and reduce the problems with random idiots and lack of consideration. Bioware may as well learn from the flawed design of its competitor and improve it considerably. Just my 2 cents from playing WoW for so long and seeing the pros and cons.

you know even if they add a LFD tool it wont help you get a group to do heroic quests. those are not done in flashpoints but in certain heroic areas of a planet. its only for flash points not group quests.

so you will still not be able to do those "heroics" in which you speak without socializing with people on your server and forming a group, or outleveling the content and going back solo.

I could only see adding a LFD if it's coupled with the same kind of easy server transfer system Rift had. In WoW, the LFD was a tool turning other people into mute assistants on your journey to fulfill your daily allotment of valor points. Any socialization was frowned upon because you would never ever ever see those people again.

actually this is a better rendition of the social aspect of the community:

LFG <flashpoint>

"ill go"
"spec are you? and come to me for a gearcheck"
pass the gearcheck, group if full
all through the instance the healer isnt healing as well as it should, 3 wipes. blames the tank with all BIS equipment. then blames the dps for not doing enough damage.

after the group all 3 of the other party members inform trade of their experience with the douchebag healer.

most of the 250 people in fleet see the chat and preemptively /ignore the crap drama queen healer.

healer in trade: LFG <flashpoint>
no response.

and this my friends is why many of you cant find groups and are begging for a cross server LFD. you have already made the mistake of ruining your reputation because you were used to being ***** in wow and thought you could do it here without repercussions.

WIN.
Got people from such events on my ignore list too. But well... looks like a good days for them are about to come..
