No instead you take players out his pool that he could possibly choose from. Majority of players will take the least path of resistance. Also for those who keep claiming WoW is king, ya of course a game that gives everything to you on a silver platter will be popular and FYI, more people play farmville than WoW.

LOL, because as I said before, I'm still enjoying playing and leveling my alts. It's not until I finish their stories that I PLAN to leave (you do know what plan means don't you?). As I said earlier, it is possible that something can change that plan between now and then. It may take me 3 months, it may take me 6 months. I'm open minded enough to consider that something can happen in that time that could make me reconsider the plan. Do you really want to have that argument again where you refused to see what was obvious?

Sort of like cars... name a feature. Power windows. These were brand new at one time. They save you the tedium of physically cranking a crank to roll the window up and down. What's more, the driver can roll down all the windows without leaning over the seat or stopping the car! I might imagine you or others like you arguing against this technological advancement.

Yet here we are today and it's well nigh impossible to find a new car without power windows. And when you do, they're the bottommost car in cost, quality, and value.

Stop hating on the power windows, bro. Bootstrap yourself up into the modern autom... er, MMO world!
Are you saying that you wouldn't purchase or drive a car simply because it did not have power windows? Or that if suddenly every car ever made went back to manual windows that you would stop driving at all?

I don't take ANYTHING from him. If he suddenly finds less people willing to group with him the 'purist' way then maybe the 'purists' aren't as great as they thought they were. There's a reason why most of us use electricity, running water, cars and other modern conveniences instead of being like the very small few who live on a farm and do things the hard way (wish I could remember the name of the person who had that brilliant quote in another thread). BTW, I used to work on a ranch growing up so I don't look down upon those people. And to those who think I'm lazy, come with me to the ranch I used to work on and we'll see who's lazy lol.

It doesn't matter what you PLAN to do. Because you have stated that you are only going to stay if they put in a LFG easy button, this means that you see this game as being garbage only because it does not have one. Why stay paying for a game that you are going to quit anyway?

If the majority of players will use the tool, doesn't that make those arguing against the tool the (vocal) minority? If the majority of players will use the tool, why on Earth wouldn't BioWare make it happen?

Last time I played WoW, I didn't feel like stuff was handed to me. I still had to level up, figure out how to play my class and role, practice at that etc. The only thing WoW gave me was a moderately interesting setting and a great set of tools.

WoW and Farmville are different genres. Let's stick to MMOs please.

So you only want things because they make life easier and more convenient for you, then try and claim you are not lazy? Does anyone else see the irony in this?

You want to see a fast way for guilds to fall apart? Players wouldn't need to log on at scheduled times anymore and do guild activities because they can now do them whenever they feel like. And if you say this never happened I will be the first to call you a liar

Again, well said. Yes, forming the group is easy, but you still have to actually run it to get any reward. And 5 people doing everything wrong won't finish the instance and therefore they won't get the reward.

Please stop calling it an LFG Easy button. Scrap the Easy. It won't make anything easier. It will make things less tedious and boring, but that's not easier.

It will actually make things more challenging by helping us get into on-level content as we level and getting more of us into the slightly tougher level 50 flashpoints.

The game is a very good game with the exception of its lack of quality of life features. Speaking for myself, I have already cancelled my subscription. Between stupidly signing up for 6 months and the free month BioWare gave me to pad their subscription counts for their end of fiscal year reporting, I'll have the chance to play all the class stories I'm interested in. After that point, I'll be mainly interested in running flashpoints. If it remains as tedious to get a group when that time comes as it is now, I simply won't renew my subscription.
