As you may or may not know the original Burning Crusade had an LFG Tool which (at the time) wasn’t widely used. However, it was still a key system of TBC and it hasn’t been seen on TBCC as of yet.
We’ve had some info during BlizzConline saying that it may be having some small updates to modernize it.
There were also some GlobalStrings found in early Beta pertaining to the system also.
I’m just curious if this system will be added to Burning Crusade Classic at any point?
The fact that they have not implemented the original TBC group finder tool makes me think they’re considering skipping right over it and implementing a modern group finder.
We don’t know, they’ve been silent since giving conflicting statements in February.
Just use add-ons.
They cant use that one simply because they are not the same clients. TBC uses the retail client so they cant just copy/paste it in.
As a compromise just use the addon that was recently spotlighted on wowhead

The radio silence on this TBC launch feature that I was looking forward to is rather annoying.
I have no idea where it is.
If they would open the API back up so the addons could talk to each other and we could get an oqueue experience again that would be great.
Until then I’d really like to see what they’re thinking on the tool, they made conflicting statements and haven’t said anything since.
Neither was the talent system, or ranks of spells, or 60% flying speed, or how many other things that were removed after BC.
Frankly that’s a skill issue.
Talent system was removed in MoP and from my understanding retail uses the same client (or is engine the right term) since Cata, so yes, talents, ranks, (retail still has 60% flying?) were “still” in the game.
This would be amazing to have imo. Shuffling between LFG which is spammy as hell, and local which misses tons of applicable people (like how I’m in Zangarmarsh and still have the BF quest). The tool accomplishes same goal much more effectively.
i hope they dont, that by adding this already makes it one step closer to retail which is why classic was created in the first place. stop making the game long automated POS. classic was about talking with the community
Considering how little it was used, I wouldn’t call it a key system. Definitely grounds for using the updated group finder (with same server limitations of course).
The game has been using the same engine since Vanilla, but it’s so massively changed at this point it’s barely compareable.
Even the cata vs sl engine is considerably changed.
LFG is not LFD, it’s not an automated system.
homie. its about engaging with the community.
We are asking for a feature that was originally in TBC, not some retail feature request.
Why do people keep responding like this? They’ve been told over and over…
You can still engage with the community and have a proper tool to assist with grouping instead of spamming.
because we DONT want it. That’s why man.
Doesn’t matter if you don’t want it. It’s a main feature of TBC and should be in. There’s obviously a demand for it because popular add-ons exist that do it in a less polished way due to add-on limitations.
