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

Wow. I love it. So you can see the classes/roles the group/person needs for either a FP or group quest and all you have to do is right click to send a request to join? Sounds very much like the Aion version.

Very nice, me likey.

And what if they want to do dungeons to 50? Who are you to tell them how to play the game? Besides, people can do that now with the PvP que. Should they get rid of that too? If people would rather do flashpoints than quest, l let them. If BW was smart they'd let people play however they want (with the exception of cheating or exploits) because that would keep people interested longer and they'd keep their subs.

Nobody *needs* to do any such thing. This isn't a debate class.

Frankly, all most of us have for any of our positions is anecdotal evidence. Have you got hard facts to back up your unstated position? I'd guess not.

"1# A LFD tool will ruin/destroy the community.

People look at the LFD tool and claim that it goes against creating a community on the server. That's just not true at all, instead you should ask yourself, what Bioware can do to gather people around at specific places? - socialize as you call it.

Numerous suggestions have been made in the 'suggestion' forum e.g. card mini-games, expanded cantinas, an actual functioning Casino at Nar Shaddaa.

THESE are the things people should be complaining about and not things that might potentially ruin someone elses game because they choose a server that is now a low-pop server, or people who want's to get the most out of their playtime.

TL;DR - BW should make features/events that will gather people around at specific places to do stuff together. "

This is entirely your opinion. It is also the MAIN reason why those against an LFD tool are against it.

Just because you don't believe it, doesn't make it true.

I saw what it did in wow, both pve and pvp, and played before anything was instituted. They DO kill a servers community, and I wont be swayed from this opinion.

Please BW. DONT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE! I want a community to play with, not a loot pinata.

It depends on the position and the claim. If I'm going to make the claim "a LFG tool will lead to content nerfs," then you need evidence to actually convince neutral people of your claims. This perosn is trying to state a fact not an opinion.

On the other hand the claim "I want there to be a LFG tool" is stating a personal preference. The only evidence needed is my opinion.

Or BioWare needs to publish how to use it in the holonet, and give it prominence in the game's Codex. Perhaps the system can use a polished interface down the road to be more intuitive. Regardless, if people choose to not want to learn a new way of doing something then that is their choice. The game already has one and those who use like it a lot.

I think he knew his class just fine, as that has nothing to do with exploring the world. It doesn't have to teleport you to the instance, they're all at the fleet anyways.

Here's the problem, from a buisness standpoint, this is a terrible attitude to have. If players don't care enough to learn how to use a complicated LFG tool, then they won't use it and then complain/unsub. BW can push that they learn it till their blue in the face but if players still arn't willing, BW will lose money as players leave the game. If BW is just content to say "well they don't care enough to learn so its their own fault," they will lose subs.

Let's pretend I open a resturant but its complicated to get to. As a result nobody is eating there. Is it a good business model to conclude: "People just arn't taking the time to learn how to get to my resturant, I could change to a better location but its their fault for not learning." This will lead to your buisness failing. BW needs to adapt and change as players voice their opinions. Seeing as only a handful of people use the current system this is evidence that a vast majority of players either don't know about it, don't care about it, or don't want to use it. Whatever reason, BW needs to adapt and change to what the majority of players are doing. If they don't, this game will fall by the wayside.

So, here you say that he needs evidence.

But here (your words) whats your evidence??

You don´t even know for a fact if teh majority of players want it , do you?

I agree! I wish we could build strong, unified support for this type of LFG tool, let people use it for a while, and re-evaluate (instead of everyone tearing each other down).

Group leveling content in this game is great. Let's help people not miss it!
