Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

Bye bye...

Can I have your stuff?

Please add me to your ignore list. It would be the first time for me ever to be on one!

You haven't a clue whether or not I'm getting groups. You haven't a clue how successful those groups might or might not be, if and when I'm getting them.

Funny how you bring up SWG seeing as everyone loved it before they nerfed the crap out of it to appeal to the WoW crowd. Just like this game, everyone still playing it loves it and will leave once they start catering to the wow crowd. Simply because an MMO does not have 300 million players does not at all mean it is a bad game. If that were true, then WoW was a crap game up until Wrath. And every other MMO ever released was complete garbage because they were only catering to the crowd they wanted instead of every single man, woman, and child on the planet.

You sure love mischaracterizing everyone you disagree with lol. No one is asking for ToR to become a copy of WoW or any other game. If it did become an exact copy then your advice to go to those games would be good (in fact I'd have done so without even posting a thing on this forum). Some MMO's have done some good things though and this thread is about a tool that did a great deal of good when added to to another MMO. Requesting that tool in this game is not the same as asking for this game to become a clone of another MMO (of course you know that, you're just trolling, but it's still fun lol). If you have the opinion that the tool didn't do good in other MMO's then you are certainly entitled to your opinion at which point we should just simply agree to disagree at this point (and yes, I know that's not happening lol).

Except you've been arguing the fact that you aren't getting groups

I just don't see how a tool that eliminates tedium... in a game... can possibly damage the game.

"Hey, they changed this red light by my house to be 60 seconds long instead of 120 seconds. But I hate that, so I'm going to sit there through an extra 60 seconds of green light to keep it REAL." *brofist*

Perhaps I lack logic or imagination?

No. I'm arguing the fact that I'm spending more time waiting to get into groups than doing group content.

I have posted several examples in this thread of times I've been in groups.

You say it did wonderrs. I disagree. The dungeons and raids that I enjoyed doing became boring AOE fests because the new wave on none mmorpg players couldn't handle group concepts. All the challenge was ripped out of WoW just so they could have what? 10 millions subs. 10 millions screaming 14 year old girls love Justin Bieber. You gonna go out and buy all his albums?

You lack logic in understanding that there already is a LFG tool in the game and refuse to accept that, if people were to actually start using it, the game would not be "tedious" as you claim it to be. You do not need to be paired up with every single other person in the game in order to find groups, and all this does is destroy communities.

A much more accurate example is that you want to have a neighborhood party, but not a lot of people in your neighborhood can do it at the time you want, so you call in people from outside your neighborhood simply so you can have your party when you want to have it. Where is the neighborhood community in a get together that doesn't involve the neighborhood? If you do not like your neighbors and want them to be more active, are you going to run around screaming that they need to change or move to a better neighborhood?

It cant...
It never has...
It never will...

They are now just arguing for the sake of arguing...

You seem to lack the logic that there is already an automated LFG coming in 1.3... you keep on and keep on running this same exact thing through the wash... IT DOESNT MATTER.. the current LFG is being scrapped!!! Get it? Got it? Good!

Again... no proof whatsoever of this claim anywhere at all... ever.

The company that put out the game and is making billions a year thinks it did wonders too... your disagreement means nothing in the big picture.
