I'm one of the "no to LFD tool" mob. However I do agree there has to be a better solution than spamming general.
So because Bioware are trying to encourage cooperation in game with these social points, maybe a "LF group" tool so that people can get together in a party at a similar level early on to do quests, crafting - whatever.
Surely this would be a good way of getting people together and being more social, also maybe help them to make friends on the game, who then could become the parties that do dungeons together later on??
Obviously it wouldn't be everyone's thing, but maybe something like this could be a balance between what we have now and the infamous dungeon finder? .
