Implementing LFG Lite

@Galdor-maelstrom

I’m not responding to your trolling anymore. If you make a blatant lie, I’ll call you out but I’m not taking the bait and helping you become Rank 1 post count champion.

Aww. I’ll take that as you can’t argue my point.

The OP has zero need to mention auto porting at all unless he’s referring to a modified version of LFD.
Because LFD is literally the only system that autoports.

[Rözen-the-scryers (Rözen)]

I know that. But one of them is referring to the vanilla version as a version of LFD which it technically is. However, most people don’t recognize it as a LFD because of its limited function. I believe that is mat’s contention. Honestly, I think they are arguing the same thing and getting hung up on semantics.

[Rözen-the-scryers (Rözen)]

Mat you did see my response saying exactly that right? Logically speaking I believe that is EXACTLY what OP means. A modified LFD tool without autoport.

@Rözen-the-scryers

I think they do know except neither of them is willing to admit it. That’s why I have been trying to diffuse the situation by trying to translate what the other means since neither of them seem to realize what the other is talking about.

There is no way to interpret what the OP said other than a modified version of the modern LFD system (including the custom group function for quests). If the OP intended otherwise he did not state it clear enough.

The op clearly mentions AUTOPORTING. The only reason to bring this up is if he is referring to LFD.

[Ghannagh-moon-guard (Ghannagh)]

I see what you mean now, and I get that yes we shouldn’t have a whole window for that but like… I just don’t think op meant as a vanilla LFD minus ports. I guess this is just two people interpreting the same thing differently but he did say modified. I’m sure if OP sees any of this he’d point at the meeting stone thing and be like “Oh yeah, like that”

That didn’t allow you to find players to form groups specifically for quests. Only the custom group function on the modern LFD can do that. Since the OP specifically mentions dungeons and quests he is not talking about this obscure system that people rarely, if ever, used.

[Rözen-the-scryers (Rözen)]

Yes, but he mentioned it WITHOUT autoporting.

No teleports to the dungeon. No teleports after the dungeon. No summoning stones. Just a very rudimentary “here’s your group, find your own damn way to the dungeon” function.

[Galdor-maelstrom (Galdor)]

@Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel

Any automated grouping feature is no.

@Galdor-maelstrom

How did the meeting stone group finder function?

@Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel

It put 5 random people together. You could end up with 5 mages.

If you want that system in have at it

What a joke.

[Odinmar-eldrethalas (Odinmar)]

@Zisifar-argent-dawn

Only the custom group function on the modern LFD can do that.

That’s LFG and not LFD (and also not LFR).

[Zisifar-argent-dawn]

Did you miss this part of the OP?

No summoning stones. Just a very rudimentary “here’s your group, find your own damn way to the dungeon” function.

Pretty much it was a doa system that noone used.

Exactly. Which is why i said he wants a modified version of LFD. And galdor said he never said that. He did though. Context.

[Rözen-the-scryers (Rözen)]

Holy crap I liked a Ziryus comment… what is happening on these forums?

Because that sysysm existed. If you want a system that existed and no one used because it failed and you ended up without a tank and or a healer be my guest.

[Ghannagh-moon-guard (Ghannagh)]

Was that him referring to the original group finder…? If that’s the case then I want my damn hour back and owe Mat an apology.

[Padrepwn-kiljaeden (Padrepwn)]

@Arkanok-norgannon

This is the part you guys are arguing about. Just wanted to put this back in here fresh. Carry on.

[Dimed-argent-dawn]

This thread has gone on for 135 posts with people discussing whether not this should be done, with no one realizing this was already in Vanilla.

Vanilla had an LFG tool, you had to talk to an Inn Keeper to use it. And it sucked so bad that no one used it, and now we’ve forgotten it even existed.

[Rözen-the-scryers (Rözen)]

Was OP referring to the OG group finder? or Mat? I am so confused now.
