Now you need level 50(was 120 pre-squish) for Premades group finder once 9.0 is live

https://www.wowhead.com/news=318226/shadowlands-custom-premade-group-finder-unlocks-at-level-50

Don’t you love changes that nobody asked for? And before you tell me its to stop boosters, they can easly find a workaround it. So Whats even THE POINT of this? Its a MMO for crying out loud, there are elite quests you can’t solo while leveling(Champions of anguish, for example) and on RP realms, people do premades for RP purposes without being max level, more often than not. So one word question to this: WHYYYYYYY???

Edit: Since some people didn’t understand the memo, here is a imgur proof.
On a level 25 toon(equivalent of level 80 on live):

On a level 50(equivalent of 120 on live):

Just Remove the () and it works.

If you wonder why i didnt post properly, its the damned trust system of this forums that keeps me from posting images directly and won’t let me post imgur links(oddly enough, it allowed me to post the wowhead link). So apologies for the extra leg work needed.

Its seriously stupefying, because whats even the POINT of this change? if people are playing lower levels for fun, doing 111 twinking or capping at 80 and doing herald of titans, they are basically punished by denying the use of premade finders. Seriously nonsensical, bizarre and dumb change. Please someone explain me whats the point of this.

seriously? lower levels can’t use the group finder at all except for appropriate level dungeons?

I understand the need for a way to limit WTS posts in group finder, but i feel like compltely removing the premades from lower levels is a bit much.

And it doesnt do much. Most WTS posts will instead use a level 50 toon to make the group in premade, so this change doesn’t do anything other than punish people who decide to twink before level 50 or are leveling and can’t solo a elite quest, or people RPing at lower levels. So its a completely ridiculous and non-sensical change that benefits nobody. Did one of the devs gets wrecked by a group of level 111 twinks so he decided to do this change out of spite to them?

how would this change impact people using the questing group finder?
it only mentions the CUSTOM group finder…

:woman_facepalming:

My point still stands, this change benefits nobody. And you need to manually create a premade via the custom group finder for elite quests and stuff, so whats the benefit of this again? Give me a single compelling argument to justify the restriction. Please go read the post again and realize that it doesn’t lets people use the premade finder AT ALL UNTIL 50, meaning if i’m leveling something and unable to solo a elite quest, game basically tells me “well, you are screwed, sucks to be you. But can’t let you make a premade to find players while you do other quests to do this one”. How’s that acceptable?

so… they’ve removed the option to click the little eyeball next to the quest in the stock UI?

because i didn’t see any mention of that in the thing you linked

Clicking the eyeball sends you and automatically create a listing on premade groups, and since it prevents people under level 50 now to actually use it, it means that you can’t use the eyeball thing anymore. I figured you or anyone with 2 brain cells would have figured out already… I mean, did you expect the eyeball thing to actually create a listing in dungeon finder tab? lol
It wasn’t mentioned because anyone that actually uses it would realize it right away.

Do all of the quests, notably old world quests, have the Eyeball?

it creates a group in the questing tab…

I mean, I never asked for LFG but there it is. I never asked for Charge Stun or Faerie Fire to be removed but they did it anyway.

And questing tab is inside premade groups…so you can’t access it until level 50. Please, stop playing dumb. You should know this, trying to access premade groups before 50 doesn’t let you anymore, so you should know this.

Actually, the eyeball creates a group in the quest tab, and I’m pretty sure you can create a group there manually as well, so the sky is not falling.

It does seem like a silly limitation.

Have you confirmed that clicking the eyeball in the stock UI will bring up an error message that you’re not high enough level to use the custom group finder?

Because it’s possible their LFG tool will allow the system to queue you via that group finder, but you can’t manually create one yourself while under level 50.

Except as i said above, the quest tab is inside premade groups. its not JUST custom, its the entire premade group.Please stop trolling.

I’m on the GCD Bully :heart:

Just talking out of my rear here, but could be related to Chromie Time and people leveling in different expansions not being able to do certain non-instanced things together due to phasing and such. No idea though, just can’t think of any other reason.

in the current UI it is.

UI changes have been made across the board… show us the current group UI on the PTR?

all good, i got u fam.
