No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

They'd really be shooting themselves in the foot without it. Aion didnt have the server numbers that TOR has, neither did Rift IIRC. TOR had 1.7m at one point ... I think the highest I ever saw Rift was at around 1m. Either way it remains to be seen ... I dont think investors would prefer spending the $ maintaining such an excess amount of servers when the population would do just as well or better with less. Specially EA who isnt above pulling the plug completely.

Spamming isnt the issue. We can all agree (well, most of us) that an automated tool is needed. The issue is whether its Xserver or not.

The tool does not have such an option unfortunately, and if you dont use it you have disadvantages like at wow with badges, instance locks etc.

The tool was introduced at WOTLK, not at Cata.

You are saying to wait 40 min is better than not doing a dungeon at all, but tell me... how can you do a dungeon, if your group is not up for it? If you get into it, while they wipe at the last boss?

Its much better to be able to select your group members, in that way you have success. If you gamble your runs the outcome is open and at wow often was a wipe.

I have'nt had any major issues getting content done when using the tool. The positive and successful runs far out number the unsuccessful ones. I do the new Looking for Raid runs on 6 level 85's every week....both parts, inc the Fall of Deathwing. Do I occasionally get a bad grp? Yes for sure. But that is in the minority.

If it was'nt for the Looking for Raid tool WoW has, I would not be able to experence the end game content. Why? Because I want to play when the time is best for me and not have to resort to using addons, vent and mods to do it. The new Looking for Raid feature in WoW lets me accomplish that. This is what TOR needs also...badly.

I concur! I quit WoW shortly after Cata came out so I never got to try the raid finder, but the LFD tool definitely opened up the game for my alts like Vanilla and BC never could have (even with a good guild sometimes your schedule just doesn't work out) and it also brought back many of my friends who quit during BC. There is quite a bit in WoW that I do NOT want to see in this game, but the xserver LFD tool and raid finder were good things they did right that frankly any MMO from here on out needs to have. The "community killing" argument simply has no merit.

You complain that not having xserver is ruining your experience so you argue that others should be ruined by having one.

There is just no other viable solution.

Stop trying to downplay it as if they were just cropped out of thin air, youre not successfully proving or dismissing any of it by doing so. Absence of proof is not proof of absense.

It didnt start going to the crapper until BC.

If you didnt do those dungeons you were stuck in green gear you got 10 levels ago.

Hmm ... go into the space station and hope to find a good group ... or enjoy questing at some planet then get some blue moddables at the end of it anyway?

There are MANY other solutions to this that will keep the community together.

It does have the option to not use it though.

The second part is one reason why I would prefer that the group finder offered no extra rewards to using it than are currently ingame for running a flashpoint.

Nobody should be forced to play with people he / she doesnt want to. But a LFG tool does exactly this.

The wow tool is such a bad designed tool, you get people you dont know,

you cant coop before the run, like choosing specs,

you cant discuss loot rules before,

you cant discuss how the run should be done (fast & skippy / slow & full)...

There are way too many different people playing this game, you just wont always have people like you in your groups.

There are games which have much better tools for finding players, thats what BW should copy - but not the wow tool which is so badly designed.

There is also the option to be nice and add people to your friend list, move server or join a guild if you struggle with finding groups

Yet you ignore all those and demand a tool.

I definately think that having a tool to help is fine, but not having a tool that kills everything that MMO´s are about.

People should be able to get somekind of "reputation" so that if you are a good player and friendly, you meet people who are like that as well. Rude behaivour should not benefit players like it does at wow, where as more rude someone is, as more success he has. No it should be a punishment.

LoL has a group finding system, where people can chat for over a minute before the game starts. In that time you can see if you want to play with those people or not. Also you get a higher reputation if you win - so that you will be able to skip the rude people sooner or later.
