It's funny to see people saying that they don't want a single gameplay feature from WoW. That's almost like saying MMORPG is the last genre from which they'd pick their games from, yet they're playing a MMORPG. Fµcks with your mind, doesn't it?

WoW is a very popular game as of the present. Either it's not a game full of ninjalooters and rude guys OR people actually enjoy such a community OR people enjoy stuff they don't enjoy. Unless the last of the conjectural inferences is true, which it isn't, I just debunked you. Therefore, I just debunked you.

Let people process their bull$hit. It's not a big deal. See what I did there? Besides, it shouldn't be your business at all if someone views computer games as their life. It's all subjective. Crying over people crying over a game seems at least as unreasonable to me.

In my experience having lots of players around radically decreases my FPS. This is of course inevitable to some extent but I think the quantity of nearby players impact on my FPS is unreasonable.

If someone thinks SWtOR is crappy then it's consistent for that person to wish SWtOR to die away. It's immensively woeful to see crap succeed and gain formidable popularity. In this case most of them are probably just arrogant people with a subjective and narrow-minded reasoning for their hate but there sure are some reasonable ones too.

Yeah, because every single constituent of SWtOR is just pure and original Bioware innovation. No, a game released today will inevitably be, for a big part, a collection of remade versions of innovations contrived by different people throughout the history of video game development. My point is that an element you see in every FPS game today may have once been an original feature in some old shooter which then got adopted into future games and consequently evolved into something that isn't perceived as a feature anymore but rather a self-evident component of a modern FPS game. I have a hunch that an automated LFG/LFD tool will be something like that in future MMO games.

He probably meant that he pressed an ability and waited the avatar to perform it for about 10 days.

Possibly, but I think that in order for that kind of combat system to be equal and have versatile animations and abilities for different classes it'd easily get way too complex to accomplish.

1. Not everyone is like you 2. It's very debatable whether the absence of a LFG tool would promote anti-social people become more social. Also, I don't get that "forcing shy people out of their shell". When you force a shy person out of his shell, HE BECOMES SHY. 3. Why are you instisting on using a MMO as a therapeutic tool for anti-social people when that's not its intented use?

The arguable thing is the existence of a causal relationship between those facts and the implementation of a LFG tool. Please, read this very carefully: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation

People giving arguments like "you don't need a LFG system to get X amount of subs", grab a hold of even a modicum of rationality, will ya. People attune and times change.

So you know there are many players in the forum complaining about the lack of a LFG tool yet you've made a thread in the very same forum to prove otherwise? Either way, you can't show what the majority of players want with a single thread unless it's clearly consensual in which case there wouldn't be any need for an additional thread. Great! I ate lasagna today and it was good. Spirit of the community? Could you please elaborate what you mean by that? Glad you told me that, I really haven't noticed any difference. But it's good to know that it really is there, it just got to be if you say so. No really, you can't speak like that for everyone. I get the equal amount of satisfaction for every successful FP and an automated tool would mean more FPs and more FPs would mean more successful FPs and that'd mean more satisfaction, at least for me.

You know, just bolding, underlining and uppercasing the 'is' is not sufficient for showing the truthfulness of the statement. You actually need to present some evidence for that other than logical fallacies.

Exactly my conjectural thoughts. In WoW, when allocating the talent points without the confirmation option (i.e. having to confirm the choices after allocating the points) it seems to behave this way. Clicking a talent icon doesn't seem to do anything until a server-side registration of the action, creating a brief moment between the mouse click and actually having the talent upgraded. If the confirmation is required, just clicking the talent icon probably doesn't do anything server-side and removes the delay. The actual update, that is the server-side registration, happens after the choices are confirmed.

Boy, you must be stuffed. You're not getting anything from me at least for now.

Of course players aren't entitled to the things you listed in a juridical sense. So? No one is suing them for not adequately informing the players on the aforementioned subjects as it'd be futile. This doesn't mean that the scarcity of information given to players weren't a valid reason to complain – or point out that it'll likely prove out to be a sub-eating matter.

That's irrational. There's a load of different factors that has led the 'good old times' to die/change. It can't be as simple as "LFG tool implemented => community detoriates". LFG tool most likely is just a "symptom", not the cause of the worsening of the community. Also, you have to remember that the 'good old times' is just something in your head, it's something you've attuned for and thus think that's the way things should be. Probably every single generation throughout the history of mankind capable of feeling sadness has felt it over the 'death of good old times' or whatever.

I don't think realm specific tool would hurt. People who like socializing, socialize. Unless there's something about game development that I don't know, a chat feature and a LFG tool are not mutually exclusive implementations. I dare to say that all the really fun and fruity socialization happens AFTER the party has been formed. Mind-bogglingly, any co-op adventure related fun happens after the formation. Thus, I'd really like to get to that stage as fast as possible. Surely in a LFG tool featured MMO there will be players just blasting through instances having only acquisition of new gear in their minds. I don't care about that. If someone wants to play the game in that way, fine. In social terms that kind of players wouldn't offer any fun anyway.

Glad to hear it OP, although that's not a very great post as many are claiming. Why mindless praisal of the game and mindless bashing of posts that constructively construe the drawbacks of the game are so revered? Some people actually would like to see the game improve.

I agree. For example, opening/closing the character pane freezes the game for a very brief moment at least for me. The game plays like a Powerpoint image presentation when rapidly toggling the pane (Mass Effect 1, not sure if 2 also, had similiar stuttering upon toggling the char pane). This specifically doesn't really matter but just makes me think how much more better WoW is programmed.

What value does your delicate body parts have to you if you're giving the vital ones away anyway?

That's really funny because TitanJJ exhibited exactly the same kind of arrogance as I did. You're just biased against me because you two share the same standpoint on the issue. Sorry for my post being a bit unclear but I didn't mean there's absolutely no valid points against LFG tool. There sure are pros and cons for both sides. I just meant that logically there's no need for 'for' arguments if people just wanted some feature to be implemented and there were no valid arguments against it. I was talking about an exemplary feature as TitanJJ didn't elicit the validity of the 'against' arguments which is what he should've done instead of just claiming there are no validity in the opposite arguments either.

That's just stupid. Large amount of people want a certain feature to be implemented and there's no valid arguments against it. That's valid enough reasoning to have it implemented.
