No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

Imagine trying to drive a car with out wheels, you wouldn't get vary far.

And what the hell are you supposed to do meanwhile? Sit in fleet because theres no official global channel? Yes, the game forcing me to sit with my arms crossed at fleet because I want to find a group for 2h makes for a terribad gaming experience.

People seem to want things handed to them instead of making it happen for themselves. A guy in my guild jumped ship a week after he turned 50 because he said we hadn't invited him to any hard modes. Mind you, the first thing he did after he turned 50 was create an alt. He didn't finish his class quest. He didn't do any dailies. He didn't craft any epic gear. I guess he expected us to just carry him through some hard modes, and we probably would've tried if he'd bothered to sign up on our raid calendar. I'm sure he wants an LFG too.

Porting you to the FP is critical actually. If the LFG doesn't port you then you'd have to interrupt your questing and travel through all the speeder bikes, spaceports, orbital stations, personal starships and load screens. If the lfg does not port you to the fp than it still wouldn't be worth doing flashpoints more than PvP. We need a system thats just like the PvP que but with flashpoints instead. Seeing as how the PvP que system has not destroyed the community, there is no rationale as to why we should expect a different result with PvE.

Can someone please, rationally and succinctly, explain what the difference in PvP and PvE are when it comes to queuing (cross server LFG tool) and the adverse affects it may or may not have on an in-game community?

This one really defies logic, in my mind. But, maybe I am not being logical here.

Or, am I reading this wrong, and the PvP crowd is quitting because a cross server queuing system is being put in place for PvP?

In my book, what's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

Firstly the nature of how a PvP battle works. You need both sides to be there and ready to go or it's not really going to be a battle. In PvE whenever one side is ready both sides is ready because the game is always ready there and waiting.

You talk about what's good for the goose is good for the gander, well PvE has a major advantage. They can take a break. If something comes up the group can wait to grab the next pull or engage the boss. I can see how that'll play off in PvP.
"Hey guys the healer on our team needs to go deal with the washing machine overflowing can you guys wait?"
"Sure..." ~snicker~
How about filling a slot with a companion? Crap our dps disconnected... Well our tank and healer is on point break out a dps companion and let's continue. Can't do that in PvP. I wonder how Khem would "Pass the Huttball"?

Bottom line you can't expect everything to work the same in PvP and PvE. Even abilities work differently. Imagine a sage with the ability to use force lift with no cooldown and it lasts 30 seconds. Over Powered.

Cross Server LFG Tool.

One of the things on my "Most Anticipated" list.

The community will survive...or is it that fragile that people spamming for groups in a channel actually getting one ends up wrecking the place?

It has been demonstrated to have a vastly negative effect on "community" as well as inspiring negative individual behavior. In short, it helped to ruin Wow by making it an impersonal shooter MMO. It paved the way for such issues as "trash talking", "insulting and rude behavior" with no repercussions for such behavior.

The greatest lie is that grouping will become easier, or faster and that is a fair trade-off. This is also untrue. DPS queues were getting longer and longer. There was an extreme shortage of tanks. The experience itself was deemed "poor", or "not enjoyable" by many.

My last Queue for dps resulted in an estimated 1 hour wait.

There are ways to improve grouping, but a cross server LFg tool is not one of them.
