Posted 1/11/2012 8:12:10 AMToo many people focusing on not having things wow has.
Teleports for flashpoints would be fine after everyone's played level 50 for a while and has gotten fed up with running.
If it makes the task in hand more efficient ie.badge farming or honour farming then why not.
It's up to the players to make the game they want to play.
If you want to walk every where and find 3 others to walk everywhere with then you do that.
That should not stop the game evolving into something more effiient than patch 1.1

Posted 1/10/2012 1:50:04 PMIt's not "unheard of" WoW did the samething back in 2005 as well. Just few people remember it or know of it; both Maraudon and Dire Maul were patched in-to the game.
It's a good sign though. And yes there are plenty of bugs, but bugs take time to solve. In my opinion, BioWare is doing the best thing which is a balance approached. BUT what they REALLY need to do is step up their CS. It seems like they were caught with their pants down in regards to how many GM's they hired...

Posted 1/9/2012 9:09:18 AMSpeculation on the title "Founder"? perhaps those who took part in beta testing, or those who pre-purchashed the game(had early access), or just something in game related in some new quests being added. me i hope its for those who had done work in the beta.

Posted 1/9/2012 10:42:46 AMMy immediate thought was, "Maybe guild masters get a Founder's title?"

Posted 1/9/2012 8:58:04 AMDo people not know that there is an LFG system? It's not the greatest, but click the "Who" tab on the social window (or type "/who" in the chat). You can see everyuone looking for a group, and you can set a comment for what you you're looking to do.
Given, a que of sometype for flashpoints (like the PvP que) would be nice.

Posted 1/9/2012 6:42:30 AMYea, a nice Looking for GROUP (and not 'dungeon', definitely not with teleport) tool would be nice.
And to tell the truth I'd be welcome a real, server-faction wide General chat with Local (the general chat now).

Posted 1/9/2012 4:58:15 PMA teleport makes a Flashpoint run seem trivial. The whole point is that you step away and focus on a task at hand with a team. This is why a random queueing system and a teleport system are both horrible additions to what is a great community that should stay that way.
Say NO to random LFG tools!
PS: I would gladly put my vote in for a global LFG Chat though - annoying having to go back to the Fleet to start asking.

Posted 1/9/2012 3:40:14 PMWell you realize if you type LFG in the who panel ( just erase the planet name there and type LFG) you will have every person LFG faction wide... just saying it helps alot.

Posted 1/9/2012 12:07:39 PMWhy not a teleport? You already have shuttles to flashpoints on all the planets, gets you to the flashpoint areas on the fleet stations.

Posted 1/9/2012 10:22:02 AMMy server is already getting to know eachother pretty well in pvp, especially the people that don't do anything and run around and hide, everyone reports them.
