2 I know exactly what it does what it Sounds like is you want to argue for the sake of arguing. You want LFG play retail troll
As long as add-ons don’t get to the point where they blur the line and ruin the integrity of how the game was at the time
Problem with this is that any add-on we get for say TBC, even if its the same author and the same add-on, is going to be new and improved. The underlying code will be better, more efficient, and have features he/she could have done during TBC but just didn’t think of until Wrath or Cata or whatever. Add to that the knowledge we cannot shed having played later expansions and other games over the last decade and a half and you’re going to see new avenues and approaches that didn’t exist at the time.
I fully expect to find that some wacky private server method is going to actually work when we fire up Classic next week that I never knew about or thought to try when I played Vanilla so long ago. We’re not getting a virgin experience even if we want, so I don’t plan on fighting it tooth and nail as it is a lost battle.
EDIT: I guess you deleted/edited your post? Oh well.
I don’t mean that.
I mean in the way that mods make things possible that were added into the game later. Changes to overall game mechanics that blur the line between the current state of the game and how it will be at whatever point these hypothetical legacy servers take place.
I don’t expect people to act dumb and like they don’t know anything.
Definitely did not edit/delete. It’s still there.
But why should they break it? The game itself had a system to autofill groups. The only thing the addon originally did was differentiate by role. If you needed 3 DPS that addon did absolutely NOTHING that the game itself didn’t do.
You’re literally fighting to remove addons that do something that WoW just does without addons.
I feel like you are trolling appearing glib just to derail a logical explanation for why LFG addon is no good.
Would have been a nice addon during actual vanilla.
Looks like it’s going to be a great addon going forward.
Do you not have addons?
Fair enough but with knowledge of what comes later, it becomes a puzzle for a modder to solve to see if they can use Legacy API to recreate something new. I know I personally didn’t use every mod that came along at each point in the game and after TBC, I had my favorites and stuck with those 95% of the time, so it really isn’t much of a stretch to see a new add-on that changes how I played the game then.
Most of the trial from Vanilla/TBC was knowledge of the game to be quite honest. Heroic Shattered Halls wasn’t hard, it was just tedious to know where the rogues were and how to properly CC things. If we get Legacy TBC you can bet we’ll have some very smooth dungeon add-ons that will simplify it even more to the point that they feel face-roll despite being pretty rough the first go around. That’s just going to happen with so much time passing.
I got some weird system error and had to delete your quote text. /shrug
I bet you were one of those “wall of no” spammers back in the day.
Keep trying.
I have no clue what a ‘wall of no’ spammers is.
The autofill system in classic was heres 5 people good luck. The logic was improved in TBC and the cross realm fuction was added in Wrath. From a historical standpoint there was no addon that used this functionality in classic. That is not to say that it couldnt be made, just that it WASNT made at the time. Now that we have more people working LUA and more ideas to what is QOL people can make those and its for blizzard to determine what is and is in the spirit of the game.
I would aruge that the Classic version of said blizzard fuctionality does not do anythign close to what the addon does. To that end it is for blizzard to determine what is and is not the spirit of the game. I can quickly see that the addon clearly mirrors a function that didn’t exist in the game until far later in the life cycle of the game. While Auto Group filling options exsisted there was no manual group interface to search for group and create groups until far later and was created in reaction to Open Raid being a huge success.
A couple things I’ve noticed.
People are getting WAY too combative in this thread.
As long as the add on doesn’t auto invite, I’m personally okay with it.
I would add that the vast majority of players do NOT like this add on and I believe if Blizz is pushed they will break this add on.
I can definitely agree with number 1; people on both sides are being really rude.
For number 2 go to 18ish in the video op posted. They whisper the group creator before appearing on the invite list.
I think a vast majority are seeing “lfg” and are assuming it is like the current lfg in retail.
I think the whisper trigger the auto invite in that video. Could be wrong however.
The point is irrelevant because, as I understand it, the automated portion of the add on is being removed.
I belive it is also, atleast for dungeons. The auto invite is the same functuonality as ct raid assist; you have to whisper a certain phrase to be invited.
Correct, thats how it works.
I really hope Blizz kills this addon before release.
I can only speak for myself, but I believe auto inviting guildies to a raid is MUCH different than auto forming a dungeon group from the general population.
If only people did a little research i think alot of this would be avoided. Thank you for making a slick addon!
But the addon is not auto forming a group. The creator, Suu, has just confirmed that you cannot have the auto invite option selected for dungeon groups.
