No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

You're telling me that you don't have at least 4 level 50s during prime time? What are you still doing there?

A low population server is having difficult getting players together not because there are only 3 of you. There are heaps of level 50s on Dalborra, I just asked for a healer to do a flashpoint. I spammed in general chat. No replies. Then, I messaged someone from my friends list who is a healer, and who is also on the republic fleet. He didn't see my general chat message, maybe he missed it, maybe he was at the GTN, maybe he was afk. There are also heaps of 50s doing their own thing like dailies, PvP.

Single-server will be enough because it will eliminate all the problems of manual grouping that I listed above.

If there really are only 3 of you on your server, what in the world are you still doing there? The economy must be terrible with only 3 of you trading stuff.

It is more logical to assume, that your server is still somewhat alive to somehow keep you playing there and arguing hotly in here. If it is somewhat alive, that means there must be quite a few level 50s around. If there are quite a few level 50s, then a single-server dungeon finder would be enough.

You know, players are emotional and illogical on this issue.

Simple facts:

• Players who enjoy playing flashpoints are, for the most part, screwed.
• BioWare is implementing single-server LFG.
• Single-server LFG will fail for players on the 80%+ of servers that aren't high population.
• I've cancelled my subscription.
• I'm a retard for subscribing for 6 months initially.
• When I cancelled I told BW that the only reason was frustration getting FP groups.
• Until my sub expires, I'll play the class stories I'm interested in.
  [*]And ignore the illogical, emotionally fueled rants in this thread.
• If I can get a group in 15 minutes or less by mid July, I may reinstate my subscription.
• Unless I'm playing another game by then.

I wonder how many players there are like me, who just can't take the frustration of tedious, unfun BS standing between us and playing an MMO.

ROFLMAO that's one of the dumbest thing I have ever read and that's saying something coming from a General Discussion thread. If you honestly believe that the people who make the game don't play it then there simply is no arguing intelligently beyond that point.

Do you have proof that single-server dungeon finder won't help low pop servers at all, and that ONLY cross-server can help?

No, afk people will be just as afk. It's kind of tautological

just FYI: invalid reasons given by dev's are still invalid reasons

Valid reason: A significant portion of the player base want it, and there is no valid argument against it.

Because they lit the applause sign?

because they're not representative of the player base?

because they think it's a step in the correct direction to have any lfg tool at all?

You see what you want to see.

No we know you are the fool. And yes, a gamer knows better than a developer. That's incredibly obvious. Know the difference? The gamer PLAYS the game.

Nah, that'd be 16 server types, and it can all be done with the 4 types we have now (pve, rp, pvp, pvprp)

For each: Have a lfg tool, allow people to pick whether they want to group cross server or not with a checkbox, have 2 different end game content levels, the unapologetic level and the the scaled level.

And I as a gamer, do not want cross-server and want single-server only. Not just me, but the people at the guild summit who play the game as well with numerous guildmates, also play the same game, and they don't want cross-server.

But somehow, you don't consider their opinions valid simply because they are, quote, hand-picked to be there, while you, a forum poster knows better.

They didn't help in RIFT; if you want to peruse their forums, you'll see that on several servers people were reporting extremely long queues, including a guy who spent multiple 12 hour sessions queued (including one 16 hour stretch) where he gave up without finding a group. I don't know if the screenshots are still there or not.

Mathematically it's easy to show the advantage: on a low pop server, there are <4 people logged into the server that are available to run certain flashpoints at certain times of the day; that means that they will never get a queue pop. This simply does not happen in a cross server system. That's why WoW has ~5 minute queues for low level dungeons, when Rift had 2-6 hour queues single server.
