People who want changes to classic need to understand that they kept retail in place just for you.
So you want the LFG mod to stay? They were part of vanilla.

and was a fundamental aspect of wow vanilla. #nochanges
It wasn’t though, the video showcased the LIVE version of the addon not the classic, it was an extremely misleading video
So it’s an automated addon, and don’t fall back on “It was my opinion” when you stated it like fact that they didn’t intentionally design the game without a group finder.
How are you even this obtuse?

It doesn’t function differently on one than the other lol, its meant to work on BOTH.
Can someone explain what this means?
The biggest takeaway from this for me is knowing that Blizzard will do something about addons like this. That’s great news!

These did not do the same thing.
- You had to physically travel to the meeting stone or innkeeper to queue.
- The group-finder logic was awful, and would put 5 dps together, or a group without a tank and/or healer.
- It didn’t spam and parse open chats for you to populate your group for you. It relied on other people having physically traveled to the same meeting stone or innkeeper and queuing as well.

No, it was not.
we’re all patiently awaiting clarification on what will be changed in the api as well. nobody knows!
played in vanilla. dont recall it being a thing and never heard of it.
Right, there is no denying it.
Automating in an irrelevant way isn’t anything anyone should be concerned with though.
You want to put a good group together right?
I think you are confused. You are missing the point here.
It’s not about “no changes rofl herp a derp.”
It’s about keeping the soul and character of the game as it was back in 2004/5/6. Whether that means squashing modern API’s that cause problems or something else, so be it.

You guys are Extremely myopic. It’s actually mildly terrifying at this point.
In vanilla, a “full” server with a queue was around 2k players.
according to the current pop posts we’re looking at more than Ten times that many people per server, before the queues kick in.
If you actually played in vanilla you remember having to scroll around in LFG to see or find anything. imagine ten times as many people spamming.
then tell me some more about how i don’t Need an addon to help with that…

This. They could just prevent addons from /inviting people and call it a day. Or they could completely break it, and break other addons in the process.
I would also like clarification.
Glad to see Blizzard make the right choice :). So psyched now! #MyClassic #NoChanges

classic LFG does not go beyond that…
it does not do this, you do not need the addon to join groups with the addon…
The addon doesn’t allow you to enter in your role/spec and/or send it to others using the addon? Because it sure looked like it did in the video.
It can’t grab random players without the addons talents, but those with the addon are free to use their talents to allow the auto-invite to make a full group. Doesn’t this make it even more likely for users with the addon to ignore people without the addon?

That current LFG addon had 13k downlaods and the classic DBM has what million or so? So by that argument there was no grounds to ban/change for this addon…
