Do You want cross server LFG tool?

Fix the number of servers first and that will fix alot of the issues with a lack of grouping.

I don't think it will solve the overall issue. My server, in the beginning, was hard to find groups in even when it was full.

It depends.

An LFG tool no matter if server only or xrealm can work, but doesnt need to. Wow is a good example of how its not working, to use the tool there is a nightmare as you either get

- bored

Blizz had to turn down the difficulty by a lot, those who played vanilla and tbc will know what I mean. To do dungeons has become a joke, you can play with 1 finger kinda... This should not happen at SWTOR, so the difficulty should not be lowered. If BW does manage this, then issue 1 of wow would be fixed and I would look forward to also doing raids then.
The question is, how to balance dungeons which people run without knowing each other, without beeing able to select specs etc.? If you lower the difficulty all those who know each other will end up bored, if you dont those who are random get frustrated by beeing unable to beat the dungeon.

- insulted

Kinda the worst at wow is, that people instantly insult others if they dont do as they demand. It can be a "I dont want to rush", "I am new", "dont know dungeon", "need to afk" or something similar which does open the doors for elitist players who then get rude, as they cant do their points/hour cap. But also small mistakes lead to beeing insulted.

TO fix this a reputation system would be needed. Those that are rude, should automatically be blacklisted - this can be done by GM´s, but who should pay them? A system like at LOL might work, there the community can judge behaivour - its called tribunal, so that those who are reported for beeing rude will end up in a case and can receive a punishment of several days ban etc.

- robbed

A loot system like at D3 would be needed there, as some people dont understand what MS>OS means and that a hunter does not need a sorc staff or intellect jewelery.

- kicked

To kick others should not be as easy as there. But it should be always possible if really needed. Kicks like "does only 10k dps" should be invalid, but those "does ninja pull, flame" should be valid. Not sure how to configure such a system tho

If BW does address the mistakes of Blizzards LFG, then be my guest and roll on xrealm queues for raids and dungeons, until then - no to any kind of LFG.

If you merge all the servers into one, then no. Otherwise yes.

A resounding "YES"

You would be surprised by what can happen when it's easy as pie for folks to get into a group and get things done. Single server does this, cross server just increases the pool of players.....

Edit: But you gotta let the people know that it's available once it goes live. Rift did this and did a poor job of letting the general populace(those who don't read patch notes or only those pertaining to their class) know the tool was there.

......and a decrease in the time you have to wait for a group to be formed.

Yes, I want a cross server LFG tool. Efficiency is accessibility, which is modern.

WoW's a example of how well the cross server tool can work. It has been a huge success. So much so...in thier next expansion, they are inc all 3 raids for it's use. Sure....there are drawbacks...but the benefits of a lot more players having the chance to experence the end game content far out weigh those.

To have access to content that is so dumbed down that you dont even need to play your char, I would not call "content".
The easy raid mode or the dungeons are a joke and I dont know anyone that actually has fun doing those. You can pretty much go afk for 30 min and then loot, fun? Not for me and I doubt that the majority really has fun like that.

The days at vanilla and tbc when you had to use CC, pots, kiting, positioning, intercepts etc. were still the best, to think about what you do - does make the game fun. If you dont want to think you can just watch the dungeon on YT, its kinda the same effect .

Even the Blizz guys did say that their LFG was a failure, not the idea of it - but the execution.

You can see how much of a success their tool is, by opening your browser and checking the forum over there. Its full of complaints regarding the tool.
