Even without LFD barely any social interaction happens when forming a group.
LFM X, Mage LFG - X and typing “inv” is what we have right now in TBC and what we’ll get in WotLK. That’s not being social, people rarely talk in dungeons and getting to them to “expirience the world” is just something that generally won’t happen.
You can bet that you’re gonna be alt tabbed while flying to your dungeons, that one of the only things you’ll say are “inv” because the only real time you have to talk are if you’ve wiped or after you’ve killed a boss saying “can I need on that?” which would’ve happened with LFD anyway.
Do you mean PvP? Getting corpse camped is so fun!
I think the toxic behaviour was blown way out of proportion in regards to LFD. Does it make it easier? Yes, but I doubt that people will be toxic solely because of LFD. You’re bound to run into more toxic people when you interact with more people.
Until you get summoned by the stone… Also some servers have so many people on it that with or without LFD they might as well be running with people they’ll never see again.
LFD being removed is small, but the reasoning behind it is dumb. Claiming it removes a social aspect of the game meanwhile we’re all AFK spamming chat for groups. All this change does is slow down the game, like instead of running 20 dungeons for an item you only do 10 because now you need to wait around spamming LFG/M and oh, would you look at the time I’ve spent 30 minutes looking for a group, guess I’ll stop.
Dungeons will 100% be run less with LFD being removed.
