Why is it a minority of players have negative experiences and therefore, assume that EVERYONE has had the same experience?

Yeah, no kidding. Use logic on this forum and you get labeled a "biodrone".

I think this game/BW/EA has the potential to do anything, good and bad.

Actually I have found it does work well to cut down on the number of jerks you come across in runs. Because the jerk's friends want to run with the jerk also. Get the logic there?

I agree also it was poorly done, there was way to many server.
Mine barely even got to heavy, it was normal all the time or light.
After a short while it started to get light exclusively, and with low pop server you have even more people leaving.

I say implement the SS LFD Tool then see how much time it takes to get to a dungeon. With xserver lfd tool you sacrifice quality for faster queue, how much quality is subjective and how much faster is unknown. Id rather wait 5 min with a SS LFD Tool then 30sec with a Xserver lfd tool. What i am saying is, until we know how much time it takes to queue for a dungeon it seems pointless to argue.

True, but then we already have that danger WITHOUT the LFD.

Here's a thought for you pro X-LFD people. Are you going to ask Bioware to remove voice overs and cut seens from flashpoints and operation because you may possibly get grouped with someone who wants to watch and listen to them. I mean, don't want to cut into your precious game time right? Or will you rage at the player or players and kick them from your group?

Jerks usually do. Not saying you are one. But birds of a feather flock together is a very old, but true statement. They get reenforcement from each other. Like a gang mentality. I have seen whole guilds, which had hundreds of members in them on my server before which everyone on my server knew where jerks. Diseased Monkeys was the name of one. They pride themselves as being spoilers of runs , yet raided on thier own too.:P

Easy answer. I would wait on them and if they say..."sorry, I hav'nt did this before"...I wil tell them.."np man, the game is to be enjoyed. Watch the cutscenes. Those who are bugged about it can leave and we can replace them."
