Literally how hard is it

[Bomm-dunemaul]

ah, that may be. official channels go to caps(first letters of words i mean) and i never use caps as you can see so its obvious that its an official channel.

[Sabetha-grobbulus]

I’ve been using the LFG channel but I do get the frustration. Sometimes it feels like it’s impossible to find groups for Stratholme UD.

But it’ll still be a no change from me.

[Chillrot-fairbanks]

Or blizzard could just add the LFG tool

No!

…to type in /4 LFG… or download the LFG addon

Literally? A person would have to be aware that either exists. If not, it’s difficult to the point of being impossible.

[Pennywïse-bigglesworth]

Yes Blizzard could, but they aren’t ever going to.

LFG addon

Blizz said they’re actively seeking to shut this down as it’s not in the spirit of classic. So I’d say it’s days are numbered.

Not going to go find the blue quote, so you’ll have to take my word for it.

Edit: I changed my mind.

@Bornakk

We’ve been closely following the community discussion around this add-on for WoW Classic, as well as analyzing it to make sure we understand how it works. After careful examination, we believe the nature of ClassicLFG is incompatible with our social design for Classic. Thus, in an upcoming patch (in the weeks following launch), we will be adding restrictions to the Classic add-on API that will significantly limit this add-on and others like it.

In line with what we shared at BlizzCon last year, we intend to be very careful about allowing add-on functionality that might undermine aspects of the social dynamics that are core to the Classic experience, even in cases like this where it’s clear that the addon author had no ill intent and was simply trying to provide a service to the Classic community. Ultimately, if a streamlined group-finding system was something we considered compatible with Classic, we would have kept the modern Premade Group Finder tool rather than choosing to remove it from the Classic client.

It’s difficult to articulate a clear-cut rule for exactly when an add-on crosses the line. However, when an add-on goes beyond presenting information or providing aesthetic customization, and attempts to create an interconnected social network that relies on other players also using that same add-on, we are likely to scrutinize it particularly closely.

…to type in /4 LFG… or download the LFG addon, this is classic, if you want retail features, GO BACK TO RETAIL.

I don’t use addons.

We’ll see.

Title was very misleading.

Also try joining /World which most servers have. It’s a player created channel that broadcasts everywhere.

Unfortunately, There are some servers that have players(usually guilded) that take over the channel and have admin rights that ban players that don’t do something to keep themselves allowed to stay in the channel. I have heard these players have actually tried to charge them like 50g a week to use the channel. Ridiculous

[Sabetha-grobbulus]

World chat on my server was more or less destroyed by moderation abuse, unfortunately.

[Scallion-herod]

This blue quote was in reference to the automated parts of the addon…which were then removed. As is, ClassicLFG receives constant updates and is not breaking any rules. It’s just an interface to see groups posted/people looking. The equivalent to the lfg channel with visual organization.

[Terrible-benediction]

Some of the mindsets of the people here… go back to your own country- I mean retail! We aint want none of them there fancy changes in these parts~

It’s because people have been asking for Classic for 15 years and they don’t want people who started on later expansions messing up the game with needless QoL improvements that lessen what Classic/Vanilla are.

[Arkdown-atiesh]

In my server /world its a hub of people joining and then leaving. Consolidating everything on /LookingForGroup is the best thing to do.

[Bearkitten-bloodsail-buccaneers]

You’re right, OP. Much easier to just never do dungeons. I won’t have to run into people like you who are always in a bad mood.

[Vhellana-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Wait a second. There is a LFG channel? Does each and every server use exactly the same one?

[Bearkitten-bloodsail-buccaneers]

There’s a Looking For Group channel on every server. However, there are also other user-made channels.

[Aevelamue-arcanite-reaper]

you just advocated the LFG addon!!!

[Pyroamos-kurinnaxx]

Wait a second. There is a LFG channel? Does each and every server use exactly the same one?

Yes, lookingforgroup is an official channel on every server. It is just off by default since you dont want noobs chat getting spammed with LFG Stratholm, and nothing ever tells you that you should turn it on
