and you litterally just told a person theyâre toxic and make every one around them miserable because you disliked their comment.
i didnât tell you two not to play the game i simply typed in just stay on retail
lol what ? you need to have an active bfa account in order to play classic, and theyâre both in one sub bfa players benifit from classic players playing classic and vice versa. if those comments hurt your feelings take a break from reading post.
I really do appreciate your posts. Ironically, for people who care so much about community, this classic WoW purism has led to some of the most toxic harrassment Iâve ever seen on the forums. In another thread I saw someone screaming at someone else that they were âthe cancer destroying WoWâ and âeverything thatâs wrong with the gameâ. Hell, you were attacked in this very thread for being 120. Thanks for standing up to it.
I love the hissy fit some folks are throwing.
rofl.
can not wait for the crying.
Iâm glad to! And thank you for being such a positive person, itâs always nice to be reminded that the toxicity we often see around here and in general donât represent everyone - indeed, likely not even close to a majority.
let me try again⊠its possible to do with said addon, creator has just turned off⊠and that is the problem, if this addon dosent do it, anouther version can do it⊠it shouldent be possible at allâŠ
Peddling your addon here, arenât you pal? We donât care about your desire for âeasierâ experiences in Classic. Go back to retail where you belong. Let that trash stay in bfa
It is also possible that, come tomorrow, Planet Earth will be struck by a rogue black hole. Itâs possible that, come tomorrow, half of the Amazon Rainforest(which is currently on fire, along with Greenland somehow) will be burnt down and there wonât be enough treeâs left to produce oxygen for the human race.
Saying âItâs possibleâ is among the weakest responses there is. Because a lot of things are possible. What should be answered is âIs it probable that someone will do xâ.
So happy this was confirmed to be okay in Classic! Canât wait to use it!
You told us both to âjust stay on retail.â As in, âdo not come to Classic.â
Thatâs telling us not to play the game, albeit indirectly. If thatâs not what you intended, thatâs on you. The onus is on the speaker/writer/communicator to ensure that their intent is clear, and thereâs really only one way to interpret those comments.
But fewer players on Classic means there arenât as many people to group with, less materials being farmed and posted on the auction house, less âcommunityâ all around. I never implied anything financially, I specifically said âdamaging to the community.â And again, if you donât mean to tell people âdonât play Classicâ when you say things like âjust stay on retailâ thatâs on you.
Youâre free to interpret my comments how you want, but that doesnât make you correct. My point was that suggesting people should âjust stay on retailâ or otherwise suggest they should not play Classic simply because you disagree with them on something like addons, or donât like the fact that they pointed out some things existed in Classic that you apparently rather didnât, youâre doing damage to the community.
One of the main draws to Classic, according to pretty much everyone, is how much more important the community is and that your reputation matters more, you know the people you play with. The main argument people were using against this addon is that it will hurt the community and make it less important.
You undercut that argument by then turning around and hurting it yourself. Telling people to âjust stay on retailâ because you disagree with them suggests that you feel Classic is some exclusive club. Itâs not. None of us, including those of us who did actually play back then, have any right to suggest people canât or should not play because they have different opinions.
And this comment is not just directed at you. Itâs a sentiment Iâve seen often and Iâm tired of seeing it. We convinced Blizzard to release Classic servers but itâs not âourâ game more than anyone elseâs, and trying acting as gatekeepers for who gets to play and who doesnât is childish.
TL;DR - people who want to use this addon, or who have different ideas of what makes Classic great, or who never played vanilla have as much right as anyone to play it, and anyone who tries to suggest otherwise is doing more to hurt the community than whatever theyâre campaigning against.
Edit: Yeah, thatâs exactly what Iâm talking about here, Willford. These types of comments and hostile remarks are worse for the community than this addon. Just stop, please.
This is definitely a problem.
Yes, it is theoretically possible that it could happen. Hereâs why itâs ultimately not that important, though:
1: It doesnât automatically make a good group, it just takes the first 4 people who sign up. If youâre trying to run a level 60 dungeon and people somehow get Auto-Invite turned on, itâll just fill their group with the first 4 people who apply. All four could be level 15-40 unspecced mages using daggers to attack. The group it makes has a very low chance of ever making it through the content.
2: The author of THIS specific addon has already agreed itâs not a good feature and thus thereâs no reason to believe that this addon will ever allow that to happen regardless.
3: If it ever does happen, Blizzard has already said theyâre against automation and they are capable of removing the ability for addons to invite players while leaving the rest of the addon intact. They may even do that before launch to make sure that it can never happen, but even if they donât, donât you think itâs a good thing that the author of this addon was willing to listen to the community and remove the feature people hated?
Edit:
@Ravicus: Iâm all for Blizzard just removing the ability for addons to send invites. I have no problem with that, I havenât seen anyone defending the addon say they want that feature in there. Iâve given my reasons for why it ultimately wouldnât be the end of the world if itâs possible as long as it doesnât function as a real matchmaking system, but I do support breaking it now to prevent it from happening in the future.
This addon scans the chat looking for key phrases such as âLFMâ âLF3Mâ as well as dungeon names and common abbreviations such as DM and VC for The Deadmines.
If you type âL F 3 M for DMâ how ever the addon will not pick up that you are advertising for a group.
If you type âLF3M for deadmineâ your advertisement will get picked up by the addon but because deadmine is not on the current list of phrases your ad will be picked up but will not be placed in âThe Deadminesâ category instead it will end up in the âcustomâ category still making the addon less effective.
There is a bit of code that I found that I thought was a bit funny but will also insure that your group is not listed in the addon. If you type âLF3M Deadmines #noclassiclfgâ your ad will also not show up in the addon.
I expect that the dev of the addon will make changes to the list of key phrases the addon is looking for. But at least doing these things currently works and people will have to keep updating the addon as gamers adjust to hide their groups from the addon.
GLHF
Really curious how the meeting stones worked. 
lol omg man . I see i left my self too open to be fully understood ill explain why. like i said im not telling you to not play classic iâm saying âjust stay on retailâ because if you need the add on to form groups for dungeons or in world raids and canât just type it in chat that just reeks of retail. Also i feel that people who enjoy retail for what it is now and want to attempt to implement systems that are very similar to retail in classic wouldnât enjoy classic as much as they would retail.
Iâm not even going to go out of my way to stereotype you as one of those " i pay 15$ i deserve end game content" people. Simply i feel that you and many others who are campaigning for this add-on are sorely misguided as to the amount of damage that it can lead to and that it would benefit both communities if this add on was not allowed entirely.
Will this addon make it harder for players to find groups assuming they do not have the addon?
Meeting stones were just there, never ââworkedââ in vanilla. But, in TBC we could summon players if 2 or 3 players had walked to the dungeon using the stones (they were renamed summoning stones).
No, some people say that. Others say it does belong here. Since Blizzard is allowing the addon to work through multiple beta test sessions and Classic is coming out in a few days, Iâd say Blizzard is fine with the addon. They broke other ones in beta and kept this one, after all.
Meeting stones in vanilla absolutely worked, they placed you into a list of looking for that specific dungeon, similar to a very crude version of LFG tool from wrath.
Haha, I was probably too noob to understand how it worked then!
I remember that feature in TBC but, maybe it was introduced in vanilla as well.
Its ok, not many people knew how they worked because it was way more efficient just to find a group in a trade chat.
