No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

No it doesn't. It turns them into those people crying on the forums about getting repeatedly kicked from groups and/or reported.

Because SWTOR has a great and wonderful community now? LMAO!

Then those game dev's put cooldowns on the kick ability thus allowing D-bags and keyturning bads to force their way in.

never saw it (outside of guild) but from what ppl say here that mythical communitн must be great

Single server dungeon finder will be in 1.3.

I agree totally with 1 and 2, and that process of looking for a group should be automated.

For 3 however, if you have CROSS SERVER dungeon finder, vote kicking from groups will happen more frequently, due to no consequences. All manner of disruptive behavior will happen because they are from another server and they don't suffer any consequences.

Sorry, have to shred your theory on #3 here.

In today's game, the group leader has all the power. The group leader can kick for any reason (doesn't have to give one) at any time, just by clicking the mouse a couple times.

In my time playing SWTOR, this has happened to me, most frequently right at the end of the dungeon, before the final event that gives the quest complete. Yah. Thanks for wasting my 45 minutes to 2 hours there guy.

Second point... I managed to find 3 groups by spamming general chat this weekend.

One of the groups was amazingly flawless.

One of the groups had a group leader (remember, I can't do anything about the group leader as a member) who rolled NEED on everything. Serious God complex. I warned him once I saw the pattern then put him on ignore and dropped group next time he did it. You say X-LFD causes this? Obviously it doesn't because we don't have X-LFD now.

One of the groups seemed like complete MMO noobs. Couldn't figure out crowd control - how to use it or how not to break it. Couldn't figure out buffing. Couldn't figure out how to heal outside of combat. Couldn't figure out they shouldn't face-pull as DPS, that is when the Tank wasn't charging ahead without checking anyone's health or focus. Completely unteachable, and I tried.

So of the several hours I spent spamming, 2/3 of my groups were trash.

Of the thousands of X-LFD runs I did in WoW, less than 5% of my runs even came close to that level of trash, and at least I could do something about some of them, namely vote-kick.

But keep saying that X-LFD is the devil and destroys communities and whatever else you want to say. The simple reality is that this bad behavior happens in the game today without X-LFD and, in fact, as a percentage of groups the bads are far more prevalent now, without the partial anonymity it provides.

Very Well said! QFT!
