Shadysketchy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 A lot of people are going to yell at you, that you're bad at socializing, and that spamming "LF X class for Y" is building a community But they are wrong; an LFG Tool is one of the most crucially missing things from this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu_Bei Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Press o. Type '[number corresponding to the level you want]'. Look for Sith Sorcerers and Imperial agents. Right click their names, ask them if they want to heal. Rinse and repeat. It'll take 10 minutes tops to form a group. I do agree that the LFG flag is useless.

Fornix Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 It's this way because having a dungeon finder tool would keep people sitting in cities. Not having one would make people play the game, interact and whatever more. Been croed about for years, BioWare listened. Of course anyone who plays MMO's could have predicted lfg spam with still no interaction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackone Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I am sure it will get easy as more people reach higher level. In time I am sure the LFG system will be tweaked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most backwards logic I've ever seen Sure, some people sit in the City, waiting for the queue with LFD; but at least they don't have to Without LFD, you are literally forced to sit in a City, because it's the only zone you have a chance in hell of anyone actually reading your LFG Message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, not having one forces you to sit in the city and spam while not doing anything else because you need to be near the entrance once you get the group going. Funny isn't it?

So you're saying that having a lfg tool makes people sit in cities (republic fleet?) instead of sitting in cities (republic fleet?) spamming chat?

Rasticles Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Well, I found a really unique way of avoiding the OP's issue: we made a guild.... Works well, no LFG, have a good class balance, varying levels, a few alts....yeah, works well. I've heard tale you can also JOIN an existing guild....

CupieFoxtail Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 How dare bioware force me to interact with other people and gain a reputation on the server I play an MMO to get gear and be better than other people, not to talk to other people and get to know them and play with them People are just a means to an end, I demand that you find random bodies to fill my groups so that I can play badly and ignore them and get carried and get gear And then queue again with another group of stupid people that I can ignore while they carry me through a flashpoint Shame on you bioware, shame on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KngOfTheWorldMB Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Join a guild? Play with friends? Use your companions at a higher level? Go on a higher populated server? While you are questing look for others who want to get the flashpoint done? I Have not had any problems waiting to find a group for flashpoints. While a enhancing the LFG feature should be done. An automatic group finder instant transport to the said flashpoint SHOULD NOT be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sitting around for 6-12 hours a night with a bunch of grown men who are ignoring their bowel movements to play a video game, that might be considered extreme and trivial to some people. I guess you assumed they have '[ limited] rated pvp expirience' because.. what.. They're female? And PvP had no bearing on that post. Keep on trolling.

But I can see why you're worried. With your bantha poodoo personality I bet you have a tough time finding people who are willing to suffer more than 45 minutes with yourself Edited December 24, 2011 by CupieFoxtail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifor Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 According to the group on these forums that kick and scream anytime anyone says that grouping should be made easier that spamming every general chat channel constantly is fun. One day bioware will wake up and see they have been listening to a very vocal minority on this issue. Standing at the entrance to a flashpoint or heroic quest spamming chat does not build a community and is in no way fun. I would love to do all of these heroics and flashpoints,but the trolls have taken bioware and the mmo community back to 1997. I'm sorry but an MMO with craptastic social tools is really just a single player game with a poorly moderated irc chat channel running on top of it. For the love of games please give us some dang tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty obvious you have some sort of prejudice. According to the group on these forums that kick and scream anytime anyone says that grouping should be made easier that spamming every general chat channel constantly is fun. One day bioware will wake up and see they have been listening to a very vocal minority on this issue. I think people need to be educated on forming groups. I've been doing it in many games for years, so it comes naturally to me. And its quite easier in this game than any other I've ever played which does to implement randomly generated pugs. Really, grouping below level 35 takes a few minutes. If you're at a level where most of your server hasn't gotten to you, you normally just need to ask people on the Who list. You only need 4 people, and there's hundreds to choose from. Its not rocket science. Edited December 24, 2011 by Lu_Bei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
