10 minutes blows that LFG que right out of the water, and it was through talking to Community members.

If you want a LFG tool, which what they do have is lacking in good function ability and the lack of players willing to actually use it, then it should be, and they are "fixing it", server community only and Not X-Server.

People are complaining this is an MMO (forgetting the RPG) , where's the Community? Oh I'll just hit this button and wait for a rng lfg FP without having to talk to anyone at all.

Make up your own minds, stop getting spoon fed and think about it.

I have alts on 2 servers, I Never have a problem finding people to do things with, and it's not just the heroics and flash points, but just questing together, yapping (typing) away and Enjoying the game. And I am Not on the , I guess, High Pop Servers, and I've rolled both Imperials and Republic.

Chat, talk, make friends, have a good time and enjoy the game.


Oh, and to sensiblepoast, I am not "Pro" raid guild at all or in the least. I gave that up long ago, I want to make friends and enjoy the game content.

What might help a lot is some sort of server-wide LFG channel. What's annoying is that all the FP's are based out of the Fleet. My server usually has a decent number of people in Fleet on both factions: but most of them are level 50s. If I'm level 20 and interested in finding a group for Hammer Station or Athiss, there's very few people in Fleet available. It would be nice to have a way to do quests in my character's level range while still looking for a group.

They have these quest pick-ups on Planet "xyz" and that is where I have normally found groups for those FPs. And if you are 1 short, have someone go to Fleet/Station and check there. Normally at that point if you are only one person short it is easier to get the group flushed, because there is no more looking to the new person. I actually have to post replies of "sorry, we filled up".

Really? I've only noticed the quest-givers on the Fleet.

Either server merges or cross server features.

What destroys a community isn't being able to play together, it's NOT being able to play together and seeing constant spamms like "LF1M XXX for XXX HM..".

Players already have the ability to create public channels. All you have to do is create the channel and advertise it to the population at major hubs like the fleet. My server has a global LFG channel and it's great.

Sounds like a good argument for dual-spec on the fly to me. If you have a long que as dps, just que as something else. Works for me. I can cut my que times down from 10-15 minutes to instant.

Cross-server queues sound great in theory. In fact, I was a huge proponent of them in WoW because I thought it would help me get more gear in less time. Six months later it became a lesson in be careful what you wish for.

1. 90% of players chose DPS or heals, resulting in 25-minute queues and power-crazed tanks.

2. "Noobs" got matched with "pros" who then refused to kill anything until the "noobs" left or got kicked.

3. Trolls queued up seemingly for the sole purpose of harassing other players (face-pulling, trash-talking, AFKing, you name it).

4. Ninjas clicked Need every time the button lit up, regardless of whether the item suited their role or even if they were already wearing it.

5. People with bad gear and possibly no familiarity with the English language were placed in dungeons they had no hope of completing, which resulted in two hours of exasperation followed by failure.

6. The GMs did little or nothing to protect the nice people from the sociopaths, and pretty soon there were no nice people left.

If that sounds like fun to you, then by all means gogo dungeon finder.

Nobody's complaining about the queues for DPS, they are reasonable and better then what they have ever been. The only people that are complaining are people in this game and is the reason why the game is hemmorrhaging subs
