The same people who would see his chat spam are the ones who would be in a single server lfg. If there aren't enough people on the server at the same level range (they would be on the planet with him to see his chat spam) then a single server LFG wouldn't do him any good.

I'm not sure if you've noticed this, but every planet has a flashpoint quest droid standing next to a shuttle that takes you directly to the Fleet. You're talking one speeder hop, max.

It does not matter you are not getting a cross server LFG tool. BW already said it will be single server so why are you bringing up a pointless debate? They are already looking at server mergers which is better then a cross server LFG tool.

Have they fixed it so a plate wearer can't need on leather? Have the fixed the issue where the leather for DPS warriors is better than plate?

two of the big issues that were still happening in that game when I said good riddance.

I know when I left they still hadn't fixed the issue where a certain type of healer could need on just about EVERYTHING. Here's hoping they put some serious thought into the loot mechanics.

I realise alot of people in Swtor have very negative views in many things, and not wanting many important and useful features and addons that would improve/enhance game play and experience.
It seems that in their over zealous care and concern over the degrading of
"the community" they would rather not have those useful tools implemented. Not wanting this and that and those, you would end up with a pretty featureless games.

As all MMO, every new patch and expansions would bring new features/tools to the game. Are you guys say no to anything you perceive will degrade commnunities despite its usefulness? for once, rejoice in new features instead of the constant bickering and infighting in the forums..

Ps: better to have and not use it then to need it and not have it
Negative Nannies are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their arguement. The heated mind resents the chill touch and the relentless scrutiny of logic.

I think it boils down to what folks define as a "jump the shark" moment in any game is for them. For some anything beyond basics kills the game. I am not in that crowd, but I can understand it. If you like something the way it is now, why would you want change?

Let me let you in on a secret. It's called the Fleet Shuttle. Now I know what you're thinking it's a 20hr cooldown or you need the security key tied to your account to get em. Well that's Emergency Fleet Pass (20hr cooldown) and Fleet Pass (1hr cooldown). You see there's a fleet shuttle located near a quick travel location on EVERY planet. So Party is ready for flashpoint QT to that location and BOOM in the blink of an eye you're on fleet. No space ports, no orbital stations, no speeders no nothing! Another example of people not using the tools available to them and complaining constantly.
And again I'll say we already have the ability to queue from anywhere at anytime, have a group made for us, and be instantly ported to the group activity. It's called PVP.

And they have already said this will go cross server soon.

So why do I have to spam general (which requires being in Fleet and not out playing the game) to find a group and then pray everyone can get to the starting point in a reasonable amount of time just because my choosen activity is PVE instead of PVP?

That is my biggest complaint. If it is such an immersion breaker to get ported, if being able to queue from anywhere and get grouped automatically is so bad, and if doing all of this across servers really destroys communities, then why is it in place or being put in place for PVP?

All that to miss the point that cross realm lfg can NOT help with heroic quests because the quest is not instanced in the way a flashpoint or operations is. It is not just a part of the server but the planet the player is on. Some are out in the open world some are in pockets on the planet. That's why you can still chat in general on that planet while inside it.

BW says a lot of things. Nothing is set in stone. The benefits of a cross server LFG tool far outweigh the costs.
