The meeting stones outside the dungeons are useless at all atm.
Can we make a QoL change to them in SOD?
Make them in use for summoning!! We have dual talent now but why not this one? I believe this is of the most welcomed changed since TBC.
Numbers of team wanting to do BRD/ZF/MARA and spending tooo much time for people to head over.

Only if we get portals to and from all the faction cities as well.
they are a stone for the party to meet at before entering the dungeon what do you mean they’re useless?
Did you ever use that? LOL

Locks aren’t selling Summons to instances though so nothing would change.
Yes huge QoL improvement!
You can already use a Lock Closet without having a Lock in your group.
Summon bots online 24/7 charging 3+g for a summon, then selling their gold on RMT sites.
Good.
Changing the meeting stones so you can summon others to the dungeon.
Bad.
The no changes people have some interesting takes.

Except they aren’t selling Summons to Dungeons. They sell Summons to Cities and to get things like the Sleeping Bag. Meeting Stones wouldn’t change that.
On my server they pretty much do.
you can buy a summon to stonard for the raid, badlands for ulda, any major city, desolace for Mara, gadget for ZF, moon glade for crafter quest, every location of the sleeping bag quest, basically 24/7 from a summon bot who will be selling that gold on RMT sites.

You did catch the point.
What is bad for changing the stone for summoning? Only the locks.

Find a mage in town and toss them a gold they will port you.
No I think its a fundamental part of the classic experience to rely on warlocks for summoning just like relying on mages for city portals. It encourages player interactions and creates class necessity.

And pay a Lock to Summon you. What’s the difference?
Half of those examples don’t have Summoning Stones nearby which is my point. Even if they added Summoning Stones locks would still be selling all the rest.
You can already use Lock stones that are from your faction even without a Lock in your group.
Since this is already the case, why would you be against making the meeting stone a summoning stone?
I actually support this change. It will save a lot of time waiting for people to run over. Not exactly compelling content as you AFK waiting.
Plus, I don’t get the sense that Warlock’s find it enjoyable to constantly be pestered to summon all the time. Especially when you have to find two other clowns to click the button. Locks can still serve the purpose of summoning inside the instance when needed.
Because it’s a Lock skill and should stay exclusive to Locks in Classic just like Ports are a Mage skill and we shouldn’t add ports everywhere, etc, etc.

I was thinking this, at least the older, not on level dungeons. Make lower level pugs more appealing.
