Because those 7 friends are likely to always be on at the exact same times you are?

You are a very closed-mind on this subject I've noticed. Perhaps you could open it up a bit more and see that other people experience things differently to you?

Maybe you've heard of this thing called communication and scheduling. You should try it some time, you might like it.

So reasonable debates are beyond you? Got it., won't bother attempting one with you then. Continue on with your anti-social behaviour that amazingly was not created by the Cross-Server LFG!

No, they are beyond you. Numerous people have pointed out your options for lack of players, you ignore it. Perhaps Diablo is more your speed?

You like to assume a lot don't you? I have no problems getting groups most of the time, and I'm in a very helpful guild.
I'm just not so arrogant and close-minded to not realise other people aren't so lucky, or on as good servers. I also realise that any 'advice' given is more just a brush-off, a "I don't care, it's not my problem, go deal with it." response that offers no real help to those players, but just more a want for them to shut up because you don't want to deal with it.

Any ETA on the LFG Cross Server tool? Will it be before or after the server merges?

His point was meeting and getting to know people and you can not do that with people you only see one time.

But, I my self am for a LFG.

There is nothing that is saying the game well not last. People thing MMO need millions of suber's to be "Succesful". SWG last 8 years and that was with 2 BIG F up's.

I didn't rely upon the computer to find me people to play with, shrug.

But by all means, continue beating the dead horse, sigh.

I have only gotten one group for Boarding Party... I would estimate I am one for 15 at best when it comes to finding a group. The horse raceing under the name "Can't find gruops" is alive and well and there appear to be a lot more people having that problem than not.

Thank you... so true.

Server merging will not work. Go to the 1 or 2 full servers at primetime. Look at their population. They cannot support a reasonable number of groups sub-50 (except the first flashpoint). They cannot support a reasonable number of groups outside of primetime at any level.


Exactly... On nights where I have nothing to do I have spent 2 hours looking for a gruop... in vain. Everything from spamming "Tank LFG Flashpoint" PST, to heading to the apprprieate level plannet, to /whoing people and sending a whisper and feeling very rude byy doing that. There are plenty of nights wehre I don't have 2 hours to play, much less form a group, and would like to able to do things othe than soloing which I find to not be nearly as fun as group content... and being a tank I feel it is my job to lean how to do that well.

People level at different paces... I check my friends list and most of the people on their are either now to high or to low to play the game with without it being a walk through...

I still maintain that at level 50 the extra frustrations that come from an LFG tool may be worth it to build communiity... but leveling up it shouldn't take more htan half and hour to find a group for a flashpoint... and that is being generous.
