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

Dude 10k internet points for you. You hit that nail squarely on it's head.

The nay-sayers seem to pine for a "Golden Age" of mmos, where (apparently) there was a thing called a "community".

Spoiler alert: that was then, this is now and now (ie; the 21st century) people want convenience. I'm willing to bet none of the nay-sayers grow their own vegetables or butcher their own meat. Why? Because it's frankly too damned inconvenient. Join the rest of us in the 21st century and embrace a LFD tool. And if you don't want to use it? News flash: you don't have to.

LFD tools are the way it is now. The vast majority of us dont want another job - we want a game.

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.

Lets be honest... people playing an MMORPG and saying they dont care to socialise are playing the wrong game.

exactly.

until wow invented the cross server LFD tool and rift copied, (which are the only 2 MMOS that have it that i know of) MMOS relied heavily on the social aspects of the community. if you were a whiny kid that played bad and blamed others for your failure, you would be moderated by the community by /ignore and it limited the things you could do with a smaller pool of people that would put up with your drama.

i like the state the community is in now without LFD. accountability is worth more than catering to laziness.

But thats a redeundent arguement.

What you are saying is "we want a LFD because we cant be bothered to socialise in game and we dont care that our agenda will have a direct impact on those that choose not to use it"....that is not an attitude that supports the greater good or the long term health of this game.

I currently have no problems getting groups on my server, however if a McMMO xsvr LFD is implemented.....eventually I will be forced to use it, or suffer the same problems as those on low pop servers are now facing.

I say again, the pro arguement that "this will not affect you if you dont use it" is as redundent as the con arguement of "get a guild"...

For me personally, I fail to see why anyone would want to spend all of their game time looking at a single, fixed lobby screen with a few drop down boxes on it and a vote/kick button....rather than playing in an actual game woorld.

People are already getting upset about people needing gear for companions that would be a big upgrade for someone in their group. If a Cross-Server LFG tool is put in, what do you think will happen there? Do you think that kind of activity is going to slow down or just stop?

It will only get worse. It will create the same kind of attitude players have in Warcraft. "I'm not going to see you ever again, I'm needing that sword for transmog that is a huge upgrade for you."

I said it yesterday and I'll say it again.

The only people I have seen in this thread so far that want Cross-Server are those who never played an MMO before blizzard put theirs in. Those people have already ruined their reputation on their server, and are too lazy to change servers and try to be polite on the new one.

This is a social game, it's built into the foundation of the game with the social rank system, if you don't like that, this may not be the game for you. It is NOT a clone of warcraft or any other MMO. A LFG tool will only destroy the purpose of the social rank system if it is made Cross-Server, and the sense of a server community.

This is exactly the problem.

People that only think of themselves. You're not the only one playing the game dude. Its more than just YOUR needs.
