Mrpoodles Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Simple yes... if you dont like it dont use it, it wont destory anything by having one in... Having more options is always better.... FACTT!!!!!! easyer said then done. do you think people really will want to try to form a group? or do you think they rather work the GTM or do dailys as they wait for a pop? keep it safe keep it fun keep it lower on trolls. Server only LFG. cross server gets lame. always some elite wanna be or 80% jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lfg tool would actually encourage people to do stuff outside fleets while waiting for queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callianna Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Cross server LFG a NO way. After experiencing cross server lfg in a previous mmo I do not want to see that in this game. The number of trolls and douchebags I met in LFG far outnumbered the decent people I met. Same server LFG I can live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartGreenGirls Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Didn't used to. I definitely do now. I can no longer find a heroic quest group, let alone a dungeon group. The more it feels like a ghost town, the more I need some method of finding people to do things with other than standing around spamming for hours while there are only 13 people on the entire fleet station.

sempuken Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Most def. YES. Cross server too please. If flashpoints determine "community" there is something wrong. Also, everyone wins. Those that do not want to use it, don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJro Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Definitely Yes. I have kids and I cannot be on the game at a prescribed time on a consistent basis. I want to get on and be able to jump right into a FP or OP. Plus hanging out in the fleet is just too boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodah Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 YES. Those who don't want to use it can form a "community" of like minded individuals and form up however they like. I do not appreciate being denied a useful tool by those trying to shoe-horn me into there little xenophobic cult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alifaraaz Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No. As mentioned, Cross Server LFG tool comes with many problems. I do want an LFG tool (Although ive gotten used to the way it is now). Once BW sort out Severs, free transfers from LOW servers should fix things. And then a Sever only LFG tool would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbolla Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes and i am sure it will come eventually when BW will grow up from the errors they have made and are still making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varteras Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Yes to cross-server but with the option to search on server only as well as an option to put priority on same server players but go cross-server if a certain span of time has not yielded effective results.

Colow_Leper Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 A solution to that is to create flashpoint start points on level appropriate planets at the spaceport. But this would also require a universal general chat so players at fleet can communicate with players on a planet. You can quest and LFG for FPs and not have to spend ten minutes getting back to fleet. To the primary topic at hand, I say no cross-server LFG tool. The reason is simple - been there done that (in WoW); was nice initially, but the lack of community consequences resulted in many bad experiences. I will say though that cross-server LFG would allow players to run FPs at off peak hours more readily. I would wholeheartedly endorse an in-server LFG tool. If that's what you want, then why not start a "LFG" channel - then shout about it in the fleet - within a short while you have a game wide channel - we did it on my server for 50ths - "LFG50" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvisiblePerson Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yes. No downside at all from my experience. Honestly, I find the whole server segregation outside of world PvP and no world PvP to be silly. I understand the necessity of it, but still find it annoying.

Skirata_Kal Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 A big fat NO to cross server lfg. A single server lfg is fine though. "LFG Flashpoint X" <sound of crickets> "LF1M dps Operation X then gtg" <sound of crickets> Uh..Yea...I see a same server tool helping that...[/sarcasm] The only benefit is you don't have to switch locations to repeat the above. At least it will be a step in the right direction, but not a successful end product (though I'm sure it will be fabulous on higher pop servers). And, btw, the above examples are from a "Standard" server where there's never more than 50 on fleet during peak time (either faction). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiwuff Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm very much in favor of an LFG tool, server wide would be a bonus and help low-pop servers with grouping. Personally I barely run flashpoints during leveling, since there is no LFG channel that I heard of on our server, and running a flashpoint means stopping what you do, then going to the fleet and shouting LFG until someone notices you. THen you have to find two more people before you can go. Not what I call fun in particular. Granted some people might argue, but I don't see the worries about how "bad players can find groups easier". From my experience, flashpoint LFG goes like "LFG flashpoint" *invite* *run game* and done. How would an LFG tool be different from that process besides automation and convenience? If someone sucks, have a kickvote just like in WoW, it worked just fine there. I barely had any bad experiences, and I did a serious amount of instances back then when the LFG tool was introduced. All in all, it's a bonus really. It brings more people into the position to run group content, and said content gets appreciated more. It helps new players get a feel for group play, and thusly gets them hooked up for endgame, which is traditionally almost all about groups. Before I had a taste of grouping made easy by WoW, frankly I had no real interest in running group stuff in prior MMOs, simply because it was a tedium to do, and the idea of having to go through that process every day wasn't exactly my idea of fun. Plus you never get into the habit of grouping, so are even less likely to run in a group. I acknowledge this is my personal view, and may be objectionable, but this is how I see it, I highly doubt LFG tools would ruin the game for anyone, save for a few unfortunate occurances which would happen one way or another as long as people group, period.

The only chat players read is the trash talk the most servers have going on in chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
