Now you have had me as viewer and bumper and poster. I do not wish to flame you nor upset you. I only have the question to why did you level to 50 so quickly (must have been quite fast considering you say you already done quite a bit of level 50 pvp and flashpoints?) I read in an earlier post by James Ohlen http://www.swtor.com/blog/sneak-peek-james-ohlen that new content will be released later on. Most people are still exploring and leveling. I personally reckon it will be more enjoyable if they release content on a montly (2 monthly) base than throw it all at us at 50.

My thoughts: Played WoW for about 3 years.. Without LFG tool = at first it takes a while to make groups but you actually meet people at your server - your friends list will grow (if you are a friendly person..) and at least you choose who you run the dungeon with. I've met some awesome people this way who I actually went to visit (they live 500km-300miles further) and became real life friends. With LFG tool = queu might be faster if you are not that social and have go no friendslist.. But when I changed servers I noticed my "friends" were mostly guild members (and some real id friends but I do not share that with everyone). I prefer the old version and actually socialize with others on my server. About the whispering? I do NOT find it rude if you whisper me politely. I shall always reply to you (if I'm not away from keyboard ofcourse) I'm only lvl 20 and I'm sure there are a lot of people who are taking it easy. Leveling crew skills, exploring and running around, doing all quests possible. I have had no troubles doing the first 2 flashpoints or finding people to do Heroic quests. I agree with others before me, if I see LF3M I usually ignore the call. When I see LF healer I know the people are more aware of the tank-healer-dps setup and I will whisper more quickly. Conclusion: Looking for Flashpoint tool? Not necessary - many are leveling - come back with your suggestion in 8 months time and we will reevaluate your claim. Build a friends list by helping people and being nice and if you are 50 just wait untill more people reach the level cap. Oh btw - I'm on Shaltin Tunnels EU - Metisai - Jedi sage = feel free to whisper ;-)

I usually make a seperate window to display only guildchat and call it "guild" haha. If you hover over the chat with the mouse, at the top some tabs will appear. I believe there is a + symbol to add a new window/tabl. Right clicking a tab will also enable you to alter the settings and name of that tab. This way, when you are looking for more people to do a group quest or something else in general or trade chat, you can select the "general" tab and you will see everything.. but if you are interested in only guildchat to have some fun, select the "guild" tab
