The crying about ninjas is such a red herring, because you can easily fix any problems by tightening up the rolling requirements (i.e, don't allow Jedi Knights to roll "need" on cunning gear, don't let people roll on gear outside their armor class or weapons they can't equip).

You know what else LFG brought to WoW?

- People actually doing instances while leveling!
You know what else wow brought too lfg, a flawed system full of trouble, so much so that they are completely revamping it because it is so fail.

You, even in this post as many others, have never once offered up any evidence for a LFG Tool other than , well, forgive me, laziness, of a one button instant gratification and possibly a chance to be one of those very people we shun.

I hope you realize that GW2 is also going to launch without an LFG tool... In fact, NO MMO has ever launched with one.

People need to grow more patience...

"people want it and there's no rational argument against it" is plenty of evidence that there are people that want it.

Unless you can refute the latter point, then that's sufficient evidence that it should be added.

I posted proof that you asked for against a X_Serrver LFG, it was flagged and removed by a X-Server LFG addict.

I did my part, where is yours, other than hyperbolic conjecture.

People have brought up plenty of valid reasons, you just choose to ignore then while rambling on about Marxism and saying that anyone who disagrees with you is doing so out of "laziness" and "instant gratification". Yes, I admit it. I'd like to be able to do quests or something while simultaneously queuing for a flashpoint (functionality that already exists in game for Warzones). I don't want to spend two hours in Fleet saying "LF2M Athiss" over and over. If that fits your view of "lazy" then so be it. You're welcome to spam the Fleet chat channel for a couple hours while reveling in your moral superiority.

Like having an LFG tool that matches in the first place. I'm willing to bet that's all the further TOR needs to go with an LFG tool. Low pop server? Merge it. No cross-server needed.

I'd be fine with this....a tool that matches people just from the same server. WoW's tool does that to some degree: it tries to put together a group from the same realm provided there are enough people in the right roles.

the same argument over and over about how it will destroy the community is ridiculous, as if there was even a community to destroy.

final fantasy 11 had the best community of any mmo, this game has nothing compared to that.. without a lfg tool or with it.
This ^^

Why not add it. The various servers are just generic places where BW herds it's players. There is no community so no need to worry about it.
