I really don't get why some of you don't want an LFG tool. I can't see how it benefits you NOT to have one.

If you don't want to use it, you don't have to which means you won't have ninja's, baddies, or whatever your excuse is not to have the LFG tool.

There are those of us who actually want to do flashpoints but can't find enough people to do them. An LFG tool will help that situation tremendously. Also, at least in WoW, the LFG tool has worked out great for me. Sometimes you'll get a horrible group or some *** in it but for the most part, it's been great. I get to do several heroics per day and it's a lot of fun. I would like the same experience here in SWTOR.

Personally, I think this question will have more solid ground once the server transfers are complete. If it's still needed at that point, I'm sure it'll be on the table.

No.

There is no reason to be nice or to help or to talk to anyone else with cross server. Why ever be anything but selfish if you will never see those people again? Why not be anti social when you can always get a group no matter how many people black list you?

If you were to add it... You would have to have it be a toggle...
This is what I propose... If you have cross server toggled off then your LFG tool only shows those on your server who are LFG. It shows them both if they are looking for cross server and not. You would still get the anti social people that can't get a group any other way than with cross server but you could black list them effectively so you never get them again.


But what I really want is just a LFG tab on /who that shows everyone on my server with their LFG flag up. Nothing more is needed.


There are too many servers... I agree with that.

Never attribute to malice that which can be ascribed to sheer stupidity.

Yea Its a big problem, and need something to prevent it, like a "troll" button, if you get too many troll votes you cant enter imperial fleet or a flashpoint in 2 days example. But im sure it would be used in the wrong way, folks would use it on Bad and new players. Or they could first search on your own server for players, if it takes more than 7 minutes, they take from another server.

That was kind of my point. IMO, you have either a cross server LFG with the servers we have or a same server LFG and force every server to have The Fatman levels of population.

Otherwise for 50% of the servers as they are now, LFG is useless.

I would Like a LFG tool. I recently came back to the game and started over, i am currently lvl 30 and have never done a flashpoint in fact iv never been in a grp. iv never seen anyone on my server looking for a grp, iv only done 2 flashpoints because i could solo them. I think adding a cross server LFG tool would enhance the gaming experience for alot of people.

No, I dont want a cross server LFG tool, I hate to be able to do Flash Points anytime without sitting for hours in fleet searching for a tank, it makes me feel strange, like I did not put enough effort into making the group.

I prefer my derelict server becoming more derelict, to the point people dont even log into the game because there is nothing to do.

LFG tool will destroy that superb community there is on my server because nobody will be in the fleet, not talking, not using chats. The LFG tool will allow random to do Flashpoints anytime they want, this is just horryfing.

Oh wait.

Cross-server? No.

I'd prefer that the low-population servers be merged together so that there is no need for this.

Server-wide? Yes please! I would LOVE to be able to group up easier for heroics and flashpoints (like how you can queue for warzones) without the hassle of having to do it manually.

I don't understand some of you folks posting here. You say no to cross server LFG features, but you can't get anyone to group on your server. I have done one 4 person heroic quest since I started playing many months ago. I won't even pick them up anymore since I know I will end up deleting it anyway.

So, if people won't group with you after spamming chat for hours, what makes you think a server LFG tool will work. A cross server LFG for operations, flashpoints, and Heroic quests only makes sense since it pulls from a larger pool of players. If people don't want to use it, it's their right to ignore it. But, I for one really want this option.

I want it bad enough that I will more than likely look to another game if it isn't implemented in the near future. I am a big SWTOR fan, but I can only take so much.
