I love how some people are giving the holier than thou attitude… Are you all forgetting how automated addons were back in the original classic?
Mashing one button to decurse a wholw group comes to mind… how fast people forget lol.
If you dont like it dont use it. OP likes it and he should continue to do what he wants

NO! LFG ruins community. A HUGE part of what made the vanilla experience great was having to interact with your server mates while forming your dungeon Party. And then traveling to the dungeon together. If you want LFG tools just go back to retail.

Once they implement a way to squelch everyone using trade as an lfg channel, I’m willing to talk about the lfg addon.
What’s your point? Yes, they existed. That doesn’t mean they were a good thing.
You have no clue what the add-on does if you think it doesn’t require you to talk to people. It’s basically just consolidates all chats that use lfm/lfg(dungeon) into one box without the clutter of people selling or talking about politics.

Because people are walking around acting like classic was super difficult, addons didnt exist and that you had to walk 16 miles to westfall in your grandfather’s rusty armor lol

Compared to retail, it was difficult, or at least challenging. A big part of that was the fact that it was all new to everyone. As far as the Addon debate goes,I’m against any addons that will harm the community by reducing the level of interaction required between players. Looking for group members by asking in chat was a big part of the dungeon running experience in vanilla. I met many cool people while looking for players to run a dungeon with. And some of my fondest memories from vanilla are of random encounters that took place on our way to the dungeon itself. Either pvp encounters, or situations where I’d be getting eaten by something and a random player would come along and save my life. Afterwards we’d get to chatting and end up becoming friends. So yes,anything that removes the need to interact with the community to find a dungeon group needs to be kept out of the game.
I don’t use the addon and my guild is great about getting runs together: however, my pain point with this issue is that Trade Chat is way too cluttered with LFG spam.
If an add-on can get them outta my trade channel, maybe that’s what we need.
Sometimes a man just wants to sell something!

I needed 2 more for stocks last night, so I went “LF2M stocks need tank and dps”. Within 3 seconds I had about 10 replies. Not sure we need an LFG addon…

Exactly,Smallcow. If anything, just a /LookForGroup channel if it doesn’t already exist in Classic. That way people aren’t cluttering up the Trade chat.
It makes your request for group members easier to spot through the clutter of other chat. There is a strong possibility that the members you got or the other requests came from people using the add-on.
To the people that are against the LFG add-on what do you think it does exactly?

That is part is true…let’s not get it twisted sister.
There is a global LFG channel in Classic.
Its not harming anything. Its literally taking your LFG stuff and putting it into one window. How is this diminishing any kind of interaction? You still have to physically speak to someone.

Was it? After all a similar addon was part of Classic and was widely-used. I’d say it emulates Classic very well and helps the community. But you do you and believe what you like.
And it’s nearly as spammy as the Trade channel. That’s what a LFG tool does, separate out the spam from the actual LFG messages so you can respond to them more easily. It makes grouping easier and better, allowing people to be more social by participating in groups.

Nah, not my problem you cant find groups. I can find a group within a few minutes just by typing on my keyboard.
Oh good another person who commented without understanding what the addon actually is.
