Do people actually use these?
I was super excited about the guild finder thing when I got back but it turned out to be mostly useless. Literally every single “Large” guild I looked into had less than 10 people online during prime time, most of them less than 5 even though they showed 500-900 “active users” in guild finder.
I dug around in the communities section a little and I just don’t understand it. A number of them were for carry sales which is what it is, but I was lookin to see if there was like a vulpera cross server community or something to join and it was annoying to dig through the list.
Do people actually use communities? How are they used other than for selling runs?
Afaik no. There was a dh community created by Kib (one who creates the dh guides, head of the dh disc). You get 1 message there maybe every 6 months lol. Why transfer from discord, which has much more to it and was well established, and go to communities. Theres simply no reason to.
I was part of a huge M+ community that did absolutely nothing. So yea…they’re worthless.
seems weird. What happened? you think people just ignored the chat or whatever?
It seems like a good cross server tool for doing stuff. I’m sorta surprised it hasn’t had more engagement.
I’m not sure what happened. I saw many people online but nobody spoke in ANY of the 12…TWELVE separate chats.
Edit - I would have loved it if people actually formed groups and ran dungeons. It has so much potential but even with all that potential if people don’t use it then it’ll fail.

wait, communities have separate chats? It sounds like you’re talkin about discord lol.
Nope it’s a separate tab within your guild chat window.
If you’re part of a community that is.

Discord is still a better alternative.
Communities are so barren and have very little functionality.

I think this is similar to when Blizzard tried to make an in game chat back in the Ventrilo/TeamSpeak/Mumble era. Not only was it pretty bad, people already had the alternatives and didn’t bother trying to use something new.
Discord is just better, and more established since it’s a chat window that’s out side of the game. It isn’t just WoW, it’s any game that you can chat while playing. I just don’t feel like Blizzard can compete with that with an in game cross realm chat feature.
well, that’s unfortunate.
I got in a group the other day while leveling one of my vulpera that was ‘all’ vulpera… it was super fun and got me thinkin… having a big vulpera community would be neat. Or maybe a shorties community, we could let the goblins in… though, we’d stll not have any paladins or druids.
cough gimme vulpera druids blizzard or I’ll unsubscribe and post about it! cough
can confirm, started a community and of the two recruits both have been what I’ve come to realize are parked “alts” which the new members don’t even seem to use often, As i’ve yet to see my newest “recruit” on in little over a week, not even a second or two blip. Most of the time I didn’t even notice they’d joined they just came, joined the community, and logged off.
I’m in one for the guild I raid with. They’re on a different server and I don’t want to change because I can’t get my name.

I was in one briefly. When I came online the day after I joined the owner was raging about a toon he’d just kicked because the person had admitted to playing both factions. I figured I’d save him the trouble and just left.
