LFG tools are just another way for ppl to afk and not put any effort into actually looking for something and making the game more single than multi-player. it strips away communication and community.

Perfectly said. I agree wholeheartedly.

The thing that made Vanilla-WOTLK so special to so many people was the sense of community, and the sense of “hey I know that guy/guild/etc” and making friends in the open world. In retail that feeling is basically entirely lost, either with realms like A52 being so obscenely large that you never run into the same person again, or a smaller realm that just gets phase-hopped to who knows where and thus never runs into the same person again. A lot of times in retail I struggle hard to find anyone else from my own guild in the world when we’re in the same zone, even.

I’m very scared of this happening with Classic. I don’t want to find myself in WOTLK Classic doing a dungeon with 4 other people who refuse to talk that I see for the 30 minutes in the dungeon then literally never again. It feels soulless, unconnected, and like I’m running with literal robots, and the retail environment has fostered this strange attitude and coldness. I can easily see Classic moving this direction…the disparity between the homeliness of Classic and retail is scary sometimes.
