Yep so the servers with peak fleet populations of 25-30 will continue having difficulty forming groups. Please make this a reality Bioware!!!

So what if it was a fact that if bioware did not implement cross server lfg tools this game would be reduced to 4 or 5 servers and not have the subs to produce new content every year much less any voice acted content? would you still insist on no cross server lfg tool?

Once they implement server mergers/transfers this ceases to be an issue. If you stay on a dead server after this is addressed you have no one to blame but yourself. The idea is to consolidate the population, not keep everyone spread out and implement a cross server tool.

Re-rolling would solve his/her personal issue but where does that leave the server? With one less person on a server with an already dwindling population.

How is Bioware going to handle population issues? Allow people from low pop to all xfer to high pop servers then the low pops will be even more dead?

Or will they take people from the Fatman and allow them to go to low servers (who would want to lol?).

As you can see there really is no way to solve population issues that doesn't involve merging servers or at least moving the people on extremely low pop servers to high pop servers then shutting the low pop ones down.

A Cross server LFG tool alleviates the issue of character progression in regards to individual server population because your pool of potential players for groups suddenly becomes an entire server cluster.

With Real ID and Battletags on Battle.net 2.0 and WoW my "community" suddenly went from just my medium pop realm to every single realm in the NA cluster. I've made plenty of new friends and enjoy raiding with them.\

Here are a bunch of X-realm community groups that WoW features:

Why can't Bioware do something like this with SWTOR? Why separate us through artificial server boundries when obviously it's a failed design if you have to merge less than a year after release?

It does not cease to be an issue, the server population caps in this game are so small that it would not take much of a population change to totaly destroy ever getting groups with a same server lfg tool. even if they were close to what other mmos run there server populations at getting a group trhough the lfg tool will probably take a very very long time..

Just join a guild and run with guildies. I'm in a small guild with less than 100 members and we always are able to get enough on to run 4 mans. Theres always 2 man heroics too

Maybe because they realize you don't need 10 million players and even 400k+ is sufficient to keep an mmo going. Or perhaps the devs actually want to have a real MMORPG that isn't some watered down action game

well despite the fact that theres very few guilds left in swtor that have 100 people that actualy play in them, why does it bother you to give other people not in guilds a choice to use a cross server lfg tool?

if its because it kills the community? what community? you jsut said you run 4 mans with your guild. If its because you dont want to run into a-holes and ninja looters? why does this bother you? you dont need the lfg tool you run 4 mans with your guild.

Why on earth are people so instant to keep something out of the game that does not negativly effect them and they do not have to use?? it just blows me away.
