I am so sick and tired of hearing people talk about LFD as if it’s this massive QoL when in reality all it did was let people AFK in Dala 24/7 while mindlessly queuing into dungeons and later on with LFR actual raids with little to no brainpower used.
This LFD → LFR system killed off a lot of the Community feeling the game was once known for and quite frankly original WoTLK was the last expansion that Blizzard ever reported a high subscriber count, since then it had only been constantly decreasing and for a good reason.
In order to avoid what had taken place the first go around, the Dev team behind WoTLK wanted to go with a non-LFD/LFR system and let people interact with their Community more.
Regardless if you hate the GDKP/Booster spam or not, it’s up your server to police the LFG so you should try to report people who are breaking the Social Contract/CoC and try to be a better example for your fellow player.
No LFD is the best change they could’ve made, and I fully support it
In retail some do things on their waits. Like bang out callings. Give something to do in the open world, people will do stuff. Like run callings in ardenweald waiting for the dungeon in Maldraxxus to use current retail.
Yes, some afk. that is a player choice. Same as say raid logging. Got their 2 nights in and done.
It’s not Retail, Classic will have way less things to do besides AFKing because of LFD.
What you remember is irrelevant, WoTLK Classic will bring a lot of new players and they should be catered to more than players like you who will sub regardless of the condition of the game.
What a good point, new players should be considered when thinking of the game - and RDF is an excellent system for leveling players to be able to do dungeons with others, and to be able to do group content before they’ve networked.
Nope all LFD does is promote AFK gameplay behavior, new players should experience LFG on their home server to become more connected with the community. It’s an MMO, if you want to play a lobby game go queue CoD and leave us true WoW fans to enjoy the game.
New players aren’t going to know they have to spam a channel looking for a group - and if they do learn, they’ll be discouraged that the only people responding to them are people trying to sell them boosts. They’ll also get frustrated that they have to sit and spam in a channel looking for a group, rather than being able to focus on doing other things at endgame at the same time.
This is the fault of the local server community, you people need to report and get rid of elements of the chat you guys feel is negative. This is not the fault of the new player and LFD will only make it worse.
And there’s the issue, apparently none of what you claim is negative about LFG is breaking the rule which only further proves my point that LFG is fine as it is and LFD will only introduce more problems than it solves.
LFG is, “fine as it is” when you’re spamming chat desperate for a group, trying to get your message seen amidst constant boost selling spam, which isn’t against the rules.
I understand you’re a troll and doing it for a reaction, but legitimate posters do hold this opinion and they’re simply delusional. LFD was designed to solve a very real problem, a problem we’ve had in Classic for a very long time.
It didn’t solve anything, it introduced LFR and further ruined the game. You try to paint Classic as something you care about and wanting to save, but LFD is the reason for it’s death.
Not sure how lfr ruined the game. LFR hero myself in retail. Its easier pug raid to see story not in youtube. In short…people like us aren’t crapping up the raid levels more cared about. as yeah…I dont care about raid all that much.
SL put memories here for lego’s. Got that too and was done for the wing. Any reruns for lols.
I don’t have aspirations for higher. nor are they an option really. I favor pvp more. My 243 hunter with craven stratagem…ain’t making it on a heroic raid team. she pve sims like crap really. PVP gear, conduits,and my lego…does no dps. it dumps cc/debuff funk. Normal give me no good gear either. Mythic…hahahahaha.
Not caring enough to fix that either. as I have a pvp focus really.
You mean the problem of being anti-social and wanting to jump in and out of groups without actually shiver TALKING TO PEOPLE?
THE HORROR.
Here’s an idea, rather than spamming LFG all day, go join a guild and try to make some REAL connections with other people.
That way, when it comes time to make a group, you have your friends to make that group.
Shocking, I know, actually getting to know people and playing with them. Wasn’t “community” supposed to be the big thing in Classic? The only way you get that is by talking to people, not by a random group maker.
