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

Then please explain your position. I looked at your posts and you are saying that content becomes easier due to cross-server queues. If I am misinterpreting you please correct me.

Plenty of people are claiming just that.

feel free to fill me in on your problem with the cross server tool.

Atm All I can see is "I don't like it"

No.

And with a cross server tool they wont.

If your next argument is to jump up and down and say "Then we need to get them into raids! they'll need to be nerfed!"

Then I point out that this thread is about a cross server tool, a raid tool being an entirely different can of beans for another day.

Accessing content and completing it are two completely different things. Cross-server queues allow people simply to access that content. Whether they complete it is up to them. I do think it is fair to expect that some won't be able to complete all difficulties of content due to any number of factors, but they should still be able to gain access in an expeditious manner and x-server queues allow for that.

EDIT: One way to control accessing differing levels is via gear levels, just like WOW did. (Just using as an example)

I never understood the whole campaign to educate people on the current tool and how to use it more effectively. Yes, it'll cause a slight increase in performance but nothing will change the fact that the tool doesn't work. It's like teaching abstinence is the best way to reduce teen pregancy when we know for a fact people are going to what to have sex and the best way to deal with it is to use solutions that work like condoms, open dialogue on matter and Plan B.

And this is where the community forums come into play. You would be amazed how fast someones less than desirable reputation moves about the internet. All it takes is one post, so dont give a ****.

Neither will we.

Why are you quoting me when you say this? Where in my post did I say current content would get nerfed? Hell, where did I even talk about the game in that statement (I was picking apart a terrible analogy).

That's what the current tool does other than cross server availability.

BTW, your cat dieeeeeeed....POSTER IS DEAD.

I love that the argument against the lfg system often falls to this when they run out of steam.

You'll become the problem you're insisting is rampant.

You are misinterpreting... and I think it's a genuine miscommunication on my part.

The fact that more people are running content is not what leads to it being dumbed down. More people running content is a GOOD thing. It's the random aspect, and the cross-server aspect, that leads to the standard group being the lowest common denominator. There are several reasons why such a group would be inferior to a standard PUG. I guarantee you that a random group of greenies is not going to faceroll any of the HM flashpoints, if they even clear it at all. If you make that group the standard group for the game, then it leads us to the point where a significant majority of groups are failing the content, and it will get nerfed badly.

I support an array of options to improve people's ability to find and make groups for flashpoints and heroic 4s, but I completely oppose any cross-server or random aspects.
