If you have a dead server where you cant get a group ever what kind of community do you REALLY have. I feel like this is a stock response. The easy stuff I dont need community for. You will still have to maintain community for a good pvp team or an operation team. Boring content I dont want to spam in a dead fleet without a full server communication method. If community is so good why do so few use the LFG tool?

Pretty sure it resets even if you look at it sideways.

I was originally against the idea of a cross-server LFG, but that was when I thought my server had a high enough population to support its own LFG pool. Now I don't think it would work unless the tool was cross-server.

There is no reason why anyone should be against a LFG tool.

The sooner a LFG tool is implemented, the better. Just hope it will be added in 1.2 at the latest.

i heard this like 100 times already

one of the reasons why "LFG flag" is s**t - it is completely passive, you flag yourself and pray that someone will invite you, but real world is cruel and almost every spot for you in fp grpups will be taken by players who stayed at fleet, react fast for spam LFM and actively search for groups, or among 10players that flagged LFG new groups will pick not you (who flagged like several hours already) but another player who joined only half a minute ago
Make up your mind people. Is it too hard to find people for a party or not? It's either one or the other. If it's hard to find people then they'd take you regardless of what planet you're on. You're trying to tell me they'll see you wanting to go on another planet and not invite you because you're not on fleet!?!?!?

It's very hard...period. Maybe not on your server. But for a lot of players it is. The tools in the game donot work for the majority of us. That is what we have been saying. You can put yourself flagged and stay that way for hours and never get a invite for a Flashpoint. Oh...you may get a whisper from someone on the planet you are doing for a 2 man heroic which most of those can be soloed anyway. It is "end game content" ( Flashpoints, Operations ) we need a cross server Looking for group tool for. Simple logic will tell you it will not work on a single low population server.
Trust is something which is earned.

There shouldn't even be a debate about what is needed in this game. Like everything else in this game you have the OPTION to not do things that you don't want to. Just like the LFG or FP/dungeon finder, you the end user, have the option to NOT USE IT. So by all means don't use it when it comes out. But to sit there and cut people down that want it is ludicris.

All I'm seeing are people who seem to be jumping on a bandwagon without actually understanding what the issues were/are. The "community" argument? It's been debated and facts given over and over again already, so doesn't need to be done again (but no doubt it will no matter how painless and enjoyable it turns out to be after it's added if it ever does).

The instant porting issue? What these people don't seem to realize is that in world of warcraft as great as that feature is, there WAS something lost, and that something doesn't even exist in this game. GETTING TO THE DUNGEONS COULD BE ABSOLUTELY EPIC ADVENTURES. No, they weren't based from a major hub where you ported to a shuttle and selected an instance. No way. They were out in the world and in out of the way places. And if you hadn't unlocked a flight path, well. You could have a really, really long trek, which frequently took players across entire zones. On foot before they had mounts. And in the case of some, higher level areas where you literally died your way there. Some are in enemy territory. They could be in continents you hadn't even been to. There are new players since LFG who don't even know how to find the instance portal if they die, let alone where they are on the map. And before you say I'm making all this up, look up Scarlet Monestary, Shadowfang Keep, Deadmines, Razorfen Kraul, Razorfen Downs just to name a few.

It's a non-applicable argument in this game. It's convenience at the cost of nothing at all.

Depends on whether or not a cross server LFG tool was the only tool available like it is in WoW. If the choice is one or the other then I vote no. But then again, all these spoils come back to people wanting this game's fresh coat of paint to be just like their other game's coat of paint - only fresher.
Actually I was under the impression that in SWTOR there was very little difference between tanks, healers and dps's to the point where a flexible group make-up would still be viable. That would be something which could render this request unnecessary. But the game isn't like that. And there isn't a viable alternative to this feature. It's all been tried numerous time and failed. There is an alternative, though. No individual servers. A different system more like EVE or GuildWars. Just one or two massive server/s. Apart from "L2P" or "get more friends and make them log on more", is there any other alternative?
