With this much of a community frenzy, it has to be more than the War Mode toggling issues.
Let's wait and see how they spin this one. Which will it be first:
-Non-answer from Ion during a Q&A?
-Blue post non-answer here on the forum?
Fun detected. Destroy. Put everything on gcd. Prune abilities. Do the exact opposite of what players want. Players enjoy group finder. You think you do but you don't. Destroy.
Still need an answer on this, it's getting tedious. This is a direct quality of life misstep with zero upsides, if you look there are even few naysayers in this thread, and it's 83 pages. Removing this turns the group leader into an AFK accept-bot, which is unacceptable.
On the same server we can walk past invisible players in the same area because they are in a different shard.
Blizzard does not want us grouping for quests, instead they want us to solo and tag mobs with other players, but what if I cannot see the other players?

Boop
I have noticed a considerable slow down with group quest. Group finder needs to be fixed back to the way it was.
I was in a group recently that had a working autoaccept.
1 out of about 10 I've been in though.
Can't have been an addon because I wasn't group leader but could see the ticked Auto Accept box in the group finder window.

i only group for the "group" quests. that being said i've noticed a huge slowdown on groups and many just disband when they see they have to manually add people.
Oh no. A person has to click a button. WHAT HAS THE GAME BECOME!!!!

Sigh, Blizzard doesn't need you lobbying for them they've got paid representatives for that.
Also, PLEASE please come back and say that again when world bosses are released and you need to click 39 times and leave the group finder window open.
Bumping this thread because world quests opened up.
Curious how everyone is enjoying them without grouping with anyone?

Except, you know, the encounter's already started and you're afking the fight pressing that button on a giant ui so you can't even see what's going on. Sounds fun, doesn't it?
I think world quests would be even more busy if we had this back. Yes, I would also like WQGF back too. It made grouping, in an mmo, much more simple and fun. 2 clicks and joined. 1 middle click and new group. But that's a different issue.
You threw the baby out with the bath water.

Blizzard: Here is an activity that really sucks doing alone but if you group up with people it's much faster and more fun!
Players: Okay we'll make an addon to automatically group up players
Blizzard: No, screw yourself, we're removing auto accept and disallowing addons from joining groups.
Players: bruh. wat.

What isn't broken?
I can see how this change can cause problems, but I think the idea behind it is that you take a look at applications and actively choose people instead of accepting anything with a pulse. Could be wrong though.
08/17/2018 11:13 AMPosted by FrukI'm not letting this die until we get an explanation on why it was taken out
They gave an explanation it's to make stuff take longer. The real thing is we need to keep this going until the idiots that think that kind of crud is a good idea are out on their backsides.

Maybe that's what they were thinking, but even if so they're totally wrong to do it. Fewer people will make groups if they have to review each person. Fewer people will get into groups when they can be declined or left hanging for minutes. There was nothing wrong with letting in "anything with a pulse" because it's an MMO, it's not like there's a class of untouchables no one should group with. You did always have the option to manually invite. Thinking that way is sucking the fun out of it, for sure.

Exactly. Before this change, if a player wanted to review every applicant, they could. They just unticked the auto-accept box.
Now, there's no choice in the matter. There's no auto-accept to choose. If you're a group leader, you have to manually accept everyone. As has been mentioned many many times in this thread and others, this change is a massive drag on forming groups for large world quests, darkmoon faire bosses, and fishing raids.
For those of you who white knight this issue, I hope you enjoy those activities after the change -- they just became WAY more cumbersome and annoying.
Blizzard seems intent on removing choice at every turn in this game.
