Honestly I'd prefer if teleportation wasn't a feature. It's convenient, I won't deny that, but it's led to so many people sitting in cities because they never have to leave... and then complaining about sitting in cities.

I agree! Part of the fun in fighting a dungeon was the journey there. A lot of games with teleporting dungeon finders breed players that can't even manually locate the instances and not know their way around the game world in general. Some use the finder so much that there's no need to even level in the outside world higher than the minimum for the first instance.

What has led to people sitting in cities is that there is no real -reason- to do anything out in the world. Getting dragged out into the world by force just to run/fast travel/etc to a dungeon isn't being 'out in the world' any more than running to the corner convenience store is 'going out on the town'.

The problem is that the games that presently use an LFG don't have anything to really do out in the world proper. There isn't any -reason- to go out there. And for those concerned that 'world pvp' will vanish -- it may, but that won't be the tool's fault. The LFG cannot prevent someone from initiating pvp or enjoying pvp. A queue does not force you to do -anything-. It is merely a tool. You can, after all, go out and do -anything- while in a queue. It's simply a -number- in a virtual line.

This topic has been beaten to [filtered] in every single game, especially here, with multiple 60+ page threads, full of [filtered] posting and whinning.

Bottom line? Good guys won, NA and EU are getting the Cross server LFD with a free teleport and rewards each time you use it. Thank you based god!!

If you played Rift and/or playing ToR you know this is going to come up sooner or later so lets get it out of the way now.

How can Tera avoid the eternal LFG conflict that other mmo's suffer from?

Quite simply put, some people hate LFG, some people love it. But either way, if such a tool is added, some people will leave, if it isn't added yet again casuals will leave. Both result in loss of subscribers and that just isn't good for any mmo company.

Is there a happy medium where maybe as content is released we shouldn't even need a LFG tool? If all mmo companies can deliver is instanced raids like than all we can do is suffer from having to have a lfg tool one way or another, so maybe if En Masse can find a better alternative to instanced dungeons and raids than we can complete skip out on needing a lfg tool completely.

So how do you guys feel about a cross server lfg tool, "like WoW's"? And is there a better way of doing content where it wouldn't be so needed?

One thing I did enjoy about Rift at launch was being able to auto join a open world group during invasions and being able to just team up with anybody to clear out a zone. This is something Rift should have sustained more through out patches instead of more and more instanced raids and experts where you had to build your own groups and end up sitting around all day hoping to find that special someone to fill that slot so you could go do what ever it was you were doing.

There was also a LFG system in Ktera where you can put up your group or message across all servers and see groups and find groups for dungeons. I am not sure if it will come to NA
