No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

Then you should do your research before you run your mouth.

That or else you're basically saying that the people at BW are liars.

Way too nitpicky, which is in line with the cross-server camp.

In the lack of extensive research, the only way to prove that cross-server LFD has a harmful effect on the community is based on the experience of other people.

A cross realm LFG and LFR isn't going to kill the community because you can't kill what doesn't exist. This game has no community. Just a large mob of unfocused individuals.

How do you even know you play this game less hours than I?

I've barely logged in for weeks like the rest of my friends, lol. I think that's a fairly reasonable premise.

I'm not saying the research is lying, it's how it's represented. Saying people play 4-6 hours on average is different then saying playing 4-6 every time. There is no way people play 4-6 hours on average from Monday-Thursday, it's not just possible. I forget sometimes that people don't have my background so I have to explain somethings sometimes. Hope that clears it up.

Personally, I hate the idea of X server LFG.
I understand it allows people to run more, but at the same time, you're not able to limit who you get grouped with.
Now, back in WoW, I used to play a Hunter before the LFD showed up. I ended up finding a guild I loved to hang with because there wasn't any cross server #$^%, I leveled up in a friend's guild which happened to fall apart when I got to 80.
When I joined UC, I was able to show how I could handle raids, I learned quickly and I knew my class (to the point where I was doing things that barely got us through a few boss fights). I would've never gotten into UC had they not been looking for PuGs in trade chat (nor would there be a point of me caring if I did meet them in a random raid, as they may not have been on my server in the first place).
Skip to Cataclysm, my Hunter has yet to make it through a Random Heroic PuG without a guildie there...

That being said, my warrior (a tank), after he got to 85 was running and clearing Heroic dungeons non-stop. He, in a week, was decked out in better gear then my hunter was in 3 months, just because I could control whether or not the group would fall apart.
I loved playing my hunter more, but if the tank left, then good luck finding a new one who will help you through the dungeon, as the waits were 30 minutes long (and more often then not the tank left right after the boss). The closest I came to finishing a non guild PuG run was in Grim Batol, where the other DPS wouldn't focus down the adds on the final fight and would try to out DPS the boss (which, if you know the fight, the Adds massively heal the boss a few seconds after reaching their destination).
Now, I was on a relatively small server (Thunderhorn)... I am not a fan of the idea of X server LFG vs Server Side LFG. If I can see a guy on my server is good, and not in a guild, I could potentially recruit him, to run with him again. If I find a guy like that on another server, what good does that do me?

There's 2 sides to every coin, sure I could try to run 10 dungeons a night if I wanted to, but as I said, while doing that, my hunter has never seen the end of a PuG group, EVER... I have to run with Guildies to get him gear (and there was much guild drama which caused a split which just so happen to hit when I was without internet for a very long time). On my tank, no problems whatsoever, because people would stay around as long as I stayed... but there are many who aren't that committed, and that's the major problem I have with the group finder overall. It doesn't matter that I get into more groups, if the group never finishes an instance, then what's the $#^%in' point? Leveling up I never had a problem with it, I'll be honest, the lower level content wasn't difficult, so people were willing to truck through it. But Heroics?

There's no reason for people to stay in the group after LFD finds a group, at least server side you can /ignore the person or warn your guildies about them, but X server, you can't do jack... You see them again you may have to regroup, which takes another half an hour of your time. You may end up like my Hunter and have to be shelved because people aren't willing to reach the end of an instance... and this is supposed to make the game better?

LFD killed WoW for me, really... I'm not saying I wouldn't want a LFG, but at the same time I want people who get in the group to be willing to commit to reach the end of the dungeon. If you're not willing to commit, it hurts me and others who might have limited time to play as it is (really, the Dungeon Finder did NOT help me in any regards for trying to find groups and see content, and talking with other DPS guildies, it was the same way if they ran alone). In order for me to see content, I HAD to level up a tank (which was in low supply at the time), which took time and effort (and ultimately, I love playing Arms more then Prot... Bladestorm OP). If I play a game, I want to PLAY the game, I don't want it to feel like a second job, and LFD has been nothing but stress for me.
Really, if the content isn't brain dead easy, then X Server LFG is a terrible idea, as people will play the blame game and leave group at the drop of a dime if they can't get carried through it with no effort. I would like the idea of having to commit to a group to finish content, but there is no good solution to keep people wanting to stay with a group that isn't amazingly over geared or running the dungeon with no effort. I can't count the number of guys I had to kick when I was a tank because they were raging so hard at everyone in the group when we wiped (I'd rather a bad player with a good additude then a good player whose a *******).

That's the sense of Community people want, not "oh we're all brothers" or stuff like that, but knowing the people you're with are willing to stick it out if you're making progress. Or knowing which tanks are willing to run with newer or not as amazing players, or who can seemingly do the impossible (Suntreader is a tank in my guild whose known as one of the better tanks in Thunderhorn. He was already raid geared by the time my hunter hit 85, problem is he works shift work, and often wasn't on when I was on. He could solo the second boss in Grim Batol from half HP in Heroic, he taught me everything to know about playing my warrior, etc. He's an amazing guy, and I met him because he was on my server). The point is, I want to know I can trust the people I'm with, or if I can't, have some way not to see them again, X server, it's impossible.

First of all, no it isn't. If you ignore people in WoW you never get randoms with that person again, not that you would otherwise.

Second, instead of risking peopl eleaving before the end and wasting your time, you would rather go back to no lfg, and spend that time spamming general for a group and never kill even one boss? Super.
