Because Fesz does this. He’s done this for 18 months. “Where is your proof?” when the proof is just a few scrolls up. But he won’t do it and I won’t be his dancing monkey.
A chat filter group finder tool like CTA is no issue. But something that starts to automate or take it to another level closer to LFD…that’s a problem. Anything resembling Gear Score should be broken immediately. GS is so overtly antithetical to Classic Wow philosophy.

Sure they did, keyword invites and invites based upon parameters (like guild rank, level, etc) or whitelists were baseline.
I don’t believe he can.
His current behavior is consistent with his past behavior of making spurious claims that he cannot substantiate.
He is the one making the claim. The onus is on him to substantiate it. It is not up to us to go searching for substantiation.

Except those addons were used mostly by raiders and the majority of players were not raiding at all.
It was very common that players did not use addons, and often had no idea how to install them until they joined a raiding guild, which once again most people did not do or even still.

It wasn’t until Wrath that pugging really took off if you weren’t on a full server tbh
Thanks. I also saw the comments in a couple different threads but have yet to have it substantiated. We have plenty of time for that however lol.
I suppose now the only real question (for me) is does the addon spam /lfg (/4 on Azaglor)? If so RCR will destroy it. If not then I hope all that download it have fun and I’ll see you in Azeroth!
It’s been established that ClassicLFG doesn’t have an auto-invite feature and that the video that supposedly shows it was using a retail addon. I believe it does have auto-accept, but regardless, vanilla addons did have auto invite and auto accept features in many cases. edit: this part was wrong apparently as I tested it myself and mention in another post below, the current version of ClassicLFG does actually have an auto-invite checkbox.
Many used keywords as a trigger for the actual invite.
For those of you still pretending LFG addons violate some vanilla spirit of some kind I’ll remind you all:

Also, there was an addon called Call to Arms
edit: https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4020-CallToArmsLFGAddOn.html
LFG addons have been developed since at least 2005 and there was no mass hysteria in vanilla about people wanting to find groups easier. Many people desperately wanted a better system, particularly back when there wasn’t a truly global channel outside of joining player created channels.
lol I don’t even play the game a lot? I guess you’d know my playtime and what I do more than I do, amirite? Also I didn’t move on from the raiding talk, I’ve constantly said how you never did anything in Vanilla so quit acting like you did. I actually cleared a good amount of content back in Vanilla and never once thought it was hard, nor did I even say or mention that it was hard. The simple fact that it was easy and you didn’t do it is what I’m pointing at.
Like I said, just because you and your small group of friends who never did a thing in Vanilla never heard of or used the addon doesn’t mean it wasn’t widely used or popular.
All you do is regurgitate what I say to you back to me, you’re unoriginal and pathetic. Move on because you can’t seem to not repeat what I’ve already said to you.
You can believe whatever you want. I read what Josh wrote and reported it here. Someone else linked it and someone else posted the whole quote.
Go find it yourself. I’m not your lapdog.
Also - WHY WOULD I LIE???
Good luck with that, unless you want the Inspect command to be broken along with the UI alterations. Vanilla would be even easier to “GearScore” people on anyway since theorycrafting rotations and DPS is soooooo much easier. If you think people judging you based upon arbitrary things like gear quality was not an authentic Vanilla thing… you never played.

Was it? I’ve been out for a bit so I don’t know if that’s been substantiated.
The easier it is to find a group or replace someone who left (or you kicked) will just breed intolerance in groups.
It’s all part of that go-go-go mentality.

This is a hard concept for this guy to understand, but this is what I constantly see from people who have no experience.

Which is entirely irrelevant to such add-ons existing as part of Classic. The average joe Classic player is going to have far more add-ons than the average joe Vanilla player by virtue of add-ons being so well established in WoW’s lifetime, but that doesn’t suddenly make add-ons that existed in Vanilla a bad thing for Classic.

There was no mass hysteria because it was 2005 and no one knew what this type of lazy attitude would eventually do the game, and now it’s 2019 and we are reverting back to a 2004 game because of what this kind of sh*t did to the game experience.

The video was definately not from classic and if you look at the screenshots on the addons page on curse the little tick box that says auto-invite is not in the screenshots. There’s also no mention of it as a feature in the description of the addon.
Even if it had one I don’t think it would actually violate any magical vanilla spirit since auto-invite was a common feature in vanilla, but the addon doesn’t seem to have that feature unless it was added later.

This is your misguided perception that you’re trying to force on everyone else.
It is not a universally accepted fact that QoL features destroyed the game, just common rhetoric from random crazies who scapegoat one thing or another for why the game isn’t what they want it to be anymore.
Even the automated dungeon finder never ruined my game experience.
