This would make for a highly progressed server, which would then likely attract many other players interested in progression. Elite guilds would still be exclusive, but every hardcore player I've ever known runs alts. They would be much more likely to round out their groups with lfg.

Sounds like a very easy choice for someone like you. Or me, for that matter.
Elite players != people that care about community.

I consider myself a higher caliber player and I dont give a damn about the community. If my guildies are on and I want to run a HM with just them I can do that. If I'm the only person in my guild on and I have an hour to waste then a LFG lets me queue up a hard mode and get in and out before anyone even knows its bad.

On my holy paladin or my DK tank in WoW, I carried many many many many many undergeared tanks/dps or healers through heroics. Did I care? Hell no because we were never in danger of a wipe due to my awesome gear and skillage!

A LFG tool be it cross server or not (cross server would mean a faster queue) would allow me to run a HM when ever I want with out having to waste an hour or so putting a group together in general chat.


Personally this whole fear of ending up with a bad group or pug kind of makes me think that some people are just used to being carried. Everyone was bad at some point so people might as well learn somehow. It's not their fault that this game can be played simply by rolling your face on the keyboard.

No it doesnt there were many people that had 4 hour kick timers. You know nothing about it if you think it reset every dungeon. I also believe it was account wide so if you kicked on onw alt you had the timer on your other alt.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

Agreed.

any time I hear "I'm afraid of getting bad players in my group" or something like it, I assume that they're just used to being carried.

the only time that happens is if you overuse it... ie, you're one of the people who abuse it to grief people.

What really hurts is the concentration of truth in there.

Look at the bright side though, how much "easier" can the content get?
The only thing that should impact a players success/failure in pvpplayervsplayeris his/her skill not what they are wearing. Otherwise call it GvG gear vs gear, crunch the #'s in a calc, face-roll your keyboard, and go watch TV.polls by paulolesonhttp://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=164486pollhttp://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=164530
