Then don't stand on the fleet. Go hit the planets up and start looking, that is the point to MMORPG's. The adventuring part, not being coddled into the game doing everything for you. And again as it's been pointed out multiple times, there is an LFG tool built in the game and you can use to to scan all zones. Try it, start sending out whispers, people may actually like you

The episode.

DEV "Some want a lfg tool, and new characters, more raids, arena's, and server mergers quickly" but what we believe they really want is something much much greater. How about we gave them a sickness that makes them not want to take their characters around other players?

DEV2 " yes yes your on to something here, if your player is around around player lets have them start throwing up"

DEV1 " I believe this will get rid of the last of the players and discourage whats left of the casual fan base... Sir I believe this is what our players need and want to finally be able to give up and quit. A player event that encourages characters not to be around each other, my god its brilliant!.

DEVLead " Dev 1, get every man woman and child you can muster on this, I just looked at the servers and I see some are still showing as medium populations"
... time passes, implementation occurs...

GZ: "Guys, you won't believe this, but the telemetry data shows that people are standing around in groups on fleet doing nothing but waiting to vomit on each other!"

No that is not what I said and you know it.

As has been said multiple times, we have tried that. When there's noone to group with, there's noone to group with. My friends and I as I said before (which of course you ignore) have spent years playing MMO's the 'purist' way. Yes, there were some fun times, but there were stretches with no groups too. Xserver lfd changed all that for us. Yes there were bads but there were many more good ones too. In this game, when we do get groups (yes it happens once in a while), they're about 50-50 bad vs good. No one is asking for their hands to be held here. We're willing to run the instances and accept whatever drops.

If the tool were that great, this thread wouldn't exist.

I thought we concluded that logic wasn't allowed here!

The tool is that great. It is the fact that no one uses it that makes it bad. Shall I bring back the examples I stated?

I have seen people spamming for a flashpoint that 5 different players are all looking for in the LFG search. Probably was not a complete group, but the fact that he had 5 different players who were specifically saying they wanted to do it and then not asking them first proves people do not use it. Again, if people learned to use the current LFG feature and not be anti social and actually talk with others, maybe stuff would get done.
I have formed a group once by sitting on fleet and looking at the LFG search and got 3 other people who were all on 3 separate planets. It pays to use the tools given to you and not be anti-social.
