Here is the LFG Addon in action! Much worse than you thought

[Primalmatter-stormrage (Primalmatter)]

I said “classic clearly is not for you” and you literally responded “honestly, it isnt”.

But I see you’re going to backpedal now that you’ve exposed your own trolling for what it is.

At least quote the full sentence this isn’t bbc news.

[Nuxker-wyrmrest-accord]

No such thing as spirit of classic, not to mention you didn’t play it

Please…don’t pretend to know me.

[Sorrow-dragonmaw]

It’s ironic that some of these posters crying about “social interaction” sound like the Exact type most would try their hardest to avoid having social interactions with IRL.

[Raztos-wyrmrest-accord (Raztos)]

will encourage ninja looting, douche pulling and all kinds of things that I guess eventually, will make this addon go away. If you think it won’t, mark my words, it will. This is a ninja looters paradise.

I’m anti-auto joining (not as a feature that can be turned off or on) and against having an option for the invite to only be shown to other players with the add-on. For obvious reasons.

However, this will happen regardless.

oh i don’t know, I tend to picture you all as Salma Hayek.

We need a blue response on this…

[Studmuffyn-veknilash (Studmuffyn)]

Um i think you messed up my quote,lol.

[Plaguelust-malganis]

I don’t want him to die. i just want his access to the internet to die.

Yeah threatening people is still vile. Piss off you toxic troll.

[Facecheck-caelestrasz]

Why would a casual player need a guild, need to invest in their reputation with the people in their guild, if they can use automation to get in a random group of ??? and perform their daily dungeon / quest with elite and then log.

So guilds become less important. People tear the guild apart with no real concern because they can use the automation to replace a massive chunk of what a guild is for

[Studmuffyn-veknilash (Studmuffyn)]

Only if we get to 3k.

[Raztos-wyrmrest-accord (Raztos)]

I was trying to quote you both. Haha.
In a dentist chair on a phone.
Apologies.

Did you even play in vanilla? Guilds were far more important then than they are now.

[Studmuffyn-veknilash (Studmuffyn)]

oh man, sorry to hear that, not my fav place.

No threats made. Save the hate for the one who deserves it. Aka Suu who is undoubtedly the most vile and the most toxic.

[Saucywhale-bleeding-hollow]

I wasn’t saying my example was bad, I was saying it was shortened. You’re example is bad, because it used my shortened example of a potential conversation as an actual conversation.

The point of my initial post wasn’t even just those 14 words, it was about how minor interactions lead to more meaningful ones. Minor interactions lead to communities of people a player can depend on, or even long lasting friendships. Sometimes it sucks to look for a group, but the more that you actively engage and form bonds with the players on your server, the less of an issue it becomes.

Addons like this discount the rewards you reap in an MMO, by streamlining it for the solo player.

You wanted his house burned down. Making threats is vile.

[Niia-stormreaver (Niia)]

Classic clearly is not for you.

Honestly it isn’t but this exact same system existed in classic with meeting stones and later refined in the burning crusade so somehow I don’t think im the mad one here.

Sure, honey.

So, literally exactly what I said above followed by your continued complete misunderstanding of what meeting stones actually did.

Again, thanks for admitting that you’re only in the classic forums to troll and have no intention of actually playing the game in any real capacity.

[Laxdaela-spinebreaker]

You’re right, most people didn’t use them because they weren’t actually convenient, if I wanted to run Strat I had to run out to Strat to click on the meeting stone, which meant I was probably missing the groups forming in IF. The point though is that even in Vanilla Blizz was trying to make it easier to get a group going and their solution included a matchmaking queue, so it’s incorrect to say it’s not in the spirit of classic.

Exactly! They were trying to make getting a group easier. And they kept trying to make getting a group easier right up through BfA! And that’s the problem, where does it end? When you say this is ok, you move the goal post. Then people who want a little more convenience push for the next thing, and then the next thing, and so on and so forth. So where do you say this is ok, but this is not? Because even when you say it is enough, someone else is going to disagree and what more. This thread should be evidence of that. And so the only real option is say no to all of it, because the minute you say yes to something that runs counter to what Classic is supposed to be (recapturing the feel of Vanilla), you’ve left yourself open for further compromise that moves you further and further from what the original intent was.

I think you stop at was this function in vanilla or not? If it wasn’t in Vanilla, then it doesn’t get included in Classic. As long as it doesn’t port you to the dungeon, it matches functionality of what was in Vanilla. We’ve already agreed that people didn’t use the stones because they weren’t convenient, if they had been people would have used them, but instead they used chat channels because it was the better way to go about forming a group. Spamming chat channels was the most efficient way to form a group, that’s why people did it, not because it was core to the experience of WoW at the time.

Get back to me when they make prot a viable endgame pali spec and then we can talk about them changing things.

It is just what you saying is so utterly wrong and misinformed there isn’t a point to arguing with you till you actually learn about what your talking about…

No lasting bond is made from someone responding to a “LFM X” in a chat channel its the actually dungeon that does that.

[Sunlight-chromaggus]

I see your point, that’s why it will be removed all together in an update, It just takes some work to actually implement the new feature, thats why you can disable it for now.

But even if it is disabled, will I, as a prospective group member, before being invited ad any message myself? Because a group leader could still post that in the chat window “LFM DPS and Heals for UBRS, post spec or no invite.” At which point I would be forced to post a spec, or role, or whatever that group leader was asking for. he could then see what I put and just decline to invite me.
Without your addon, the same group leader posts “LFM DPS and Heals.” You whisper I would love to do UBRS. He or she then shift clicks your name and see’s your a hunter. The group leader is also a hunter and wants a specific piece of gear. He can ask if that’s why you’re going. If you say yes he says sorry but he wants less competition. If you say no, maybe you just want to complete the UBRS quest to get your crit trinket, or you already have that gear, you can make a case for being invited. Hence a social interaction has happened. But if your custom window shows even what class you are, you can be dismissed without any kind of discussion because that would be the path of least resistance.
