Why do people still not realize automatic ques are bad for MMOs? Especially old wow. What’s wrong with just implementing the system we have in BC so you can manually look through sorted lists of people doing dungeons and ask for an inv or start your own group? I said it on here earlier but the obsession with convience is vomit inducing.

Because there is nobody leveling. I use the built in lfg tool, classic lfg and lfgbb add-ons and I see nothing but boosting bots…
I even spam in the lfg channel, but with all the bots how is anyone supposed to see me?
Oh and before anyone says dead server… I play on whitemane far from dead unless yer alliance

Playing on Mankrik, I looked for a SM Cath run, 2 hours looking through bulletin board and spamming for a group, finally got a group, did one run. and that was it. we didn’t chat like buddies in a bar, we did the dungeon and it was over. tell me the difference between that interaction and a LFD interaction.
Tank selling heroic/daily/level boosting tanking service, no LFD? no problem! 100g a run for normal dungeons, 200g a run for heroic! I can do healing too! same rates apply!

I don’t know, it seems to be working out for every other MMO that adopted it. WoW had used it for 7 expansions now. Pretty sure it wasn’t LFD that was causing sub losses post WotLK, maybe it was the content of the game? Like underwater zones in Cata, or constant talent and PvP flip-flops in MoP, or content droughts and removal of flying (they gave it back) in WoD, or whatever it was that angered people in legion. flip flopping on the borrowed power and time gating in both BfA and SL. Maybe it wasn’t LFD.

Yea and all those MMOs are designed so that you can pretty much solo everything and all the dungeons leading up to the current ones are all face roll easy and don’t require coordination at all. And yes, those old wow dungeons required coordination and somewhat of an understanding of how to work as a group. If you take that away, what do you have? A boring tab targeting RPG.
As opposed to the way people currently run dungeons, by having a level 70 mage or paladin fight everything while we stand at the entrance waiting to get our XP and gobble up all the sparkles that fall out of the loot Piñatas.

I’m sorry man, you have another thing coming if you’re expecting challenge out of Wrath Heroics… they are casual content, and designed to be spam ran through with RDF. Nothing to write home about and claim as an epic conquest haha

Yeah screw QoL things in general, they are so annoying, I hate convenience!
Like I wish cars were never a thing, I hate getting from point A to point B in the least time possible. I wish I instead could like our ancestors waste several hours walking to places I wanted to go every single day, just feels like I’m missing out on so much going on around me when driving…
You know I also hate calculators, internet, and texting, all that stupid stuff. I wish Everyone still had the option to manually do the math with pen\paper. Internet? Gah, the ability to lookup any and everything is so lame, wish I could still go to libraries and sift through books and papers for things I’m interested in. Texting - so next-gen! Why can’t I write letters anymore, that interaction was so much more satisfying!
Wow, you know what I feel so silly! I actually still can do all these things if I so desire, even with there being more optimal means for completing my objective!

convenience is great for real life things… not so much in video games.
the most convenient video game would be one where you push a button and instantly win. not so fun now is it.
That’s not what we’re asking for here though.
Hoping my silly point wasn’t missed… The main reason people want LFD, is for the sake of time. Finding groups is a time sink in general when the main objective is to run a dungeon(s).
Nothing is keeping people from doing what THEY want to do; if they want to see the world they can go fly around it whenever they want, if they want to talk to people, walk up to and introduce yourself… Start a conversation, but it doesn’t all need to be webbed together under finding a dungeon…
and nothing is keeping you from obtaining more free time to play the game the way it’s meant to be played
The way it was meant to be played was implemented back in 2009/2010 
With LFD.
Actually LFD came in the last patch. The reason that patch lasted so long was because cata was taking forever to launch
LFD wasn’t added until the last content patch
it is not integral to wrath classic
I didn’t say it was implemented from the start, just said it was implemented so clearly it was a feature “meant” to be used during play 
You’re a troll
it was a feature they experimented with but ultimately, in the year 2022, they decided it is not needed and in fact detracts from the classic experience.

It wont be the first time they pulled a feature, then re-implemented it. Did you watch the new expansion reveal? Talent tree coming back
