No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

You need to stop expecting a server merge. EA owns BioWare. EA is a publicly traded company. If they merge servers, they are, to the investing community, admitting "defeat". Their stock price will be impacted.

You are far more likely to see x-lfd than a server merge as the earlier action.

I think I stated 3 times that I did join a guild, and it worked. I have queues whenever I want them.

I think I also stated that my objection to an x-lfg tool is that it poisons the player base whether I use it or not.

As far as it being "one of the most success tools in MMORPG history" ask yourself why this game is full of WoW refugees. Almost everyone in my guild came here from WoW.

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.

Hmm? Last time I checked we weren't getting one of these things.

Getting it for PvP

NOT getting it for PvE, which will be single server LFG.

I have no clue why this dead horse is still being flogged.

This is my feeling as well. I love WoW and would almost certainly still be playing that game if I didn't have to put up with so many obnoxious people. After two years of LFG, my server became totally dysfunctional. I found another server that seemed friendlier, and in less than a year that server was just like the other one. It was the people, not the game, that caused me to quit. If the GMs had been willing to whip out the ban stick occasionally, things might've played out differently. Instead they seemed to ignore or even condone offensive behavior, which caused the player base to skew increasingly nasty.

To the guy who claims only 1% of random queues were problematic: I imagine you're fudging the statistics to support your own position. If not, count yourself lucky. From my experience, it was more like 10% hostile and 20% incompetent (i.e., multiple wipes). I guess 30% bad may sound okay if you're desperate to run flashpoints, but keep in mind that the other 70% weren't exactly great either, since most people couldn't even be bothered to type 'Hi' before they started pulling. The bad experiences also tended to be far more memorable.

I'm going to tell the LFG people what I wish someone had told me three years ago: stop complaining and join a guild. Even on my stinky light-pop server, there are three guilds actively recruiting for all levels. I ran through almost every flashpoint at the correct level because I had a guild. I'm running hard modes 3-5 days a week now because I have a guild. If you have decent social skills and are willing to play a tank or healer, it's actually very easy to find groups for flashpoints (not so much for heroics; nobody wants to do those). If you don't have social skills, why are you playing an MMO?

The LFG will create more problems than it solves.

selfish.

As to your idea that everyone should join the perfect guild where everyone logs on at the same time all wanting to do the same thing in perfect groups of four, Fantasyland is that way ------>

I agree with this. The amount of whining and horrible behavoir from the WoW community after lfd and lfr were implemented was intolerable. If such a thing goes live in swtor I will be immensly dissapointed and just move on to another game.
