Shame on Icy Veins (LFG addon promotion)

Nope, i’ll be using addons lol.

Thanks for your intervention thinking you know everyone :wink:

Chat addons, not auto-grouping ones nor the ones that have you just click and invite. Which is why I said this one is probably safe.

Also important to note Blizzard wasn’t strong at policing addons in vanilla, as a number of addons that fully automated gameplay weren’t broken quickly. They also didn’t have the hard stance on specific addons they have now.

Yep. This facilitates people communicating via global chat channels for form groups, just like in Vanilla. Fantastic addon with authentic Vanilla WoW functionality.

No changes.

Nope, they said that there would be no Blizzard-created version. This kind of addon is perfectly fine and won’t be stopped by Blizzard.

Hold on, buddy - I never said automated OR click to invite. There were addons that gave you a list and you had to do the work yourself.

People using addon are weak.
On Herod we break the weak

Skip to about 42:00~. They specifically mention player created addons and the issues that could arise.

And I specifically mentioned addons that emulate modern systems, so what’s your point?

Anything automated or anything emulating systems like they have in modern WoW - like the LFG system.

They really don’t.

This addon is just a slick version of a chat channel with all the groups organized without the clutter of politics, racism, Chuck Norris and Thunderfury memes.

If 60%+ of the players use this addon, they won’t bother anymore to post in the chat.

The addon display an interface accessible to anyone with the same addon, accessible anywhere at anytime. This is an issue

The chat filtering function is not an issue.

Which is not what this addon does.

It wasn’t an issue in vanilla, it’s not an issue now.

From what I’m reading, this compiles text from people typing “LFG” in a chat channel. Is that not how this works? If that is the way it works, people will still need to type in chat.

Do you even read what you respond to or do you just immediately attack people? I specifically mentioned that this addon is probably safe but anything more wouldn’t be.

Honestly, reading comprehension.

Oh a new shiny! Should we expect this to be spammed non stop until launch too? Anyone know exactly how this works? Nm. I’ll look myself.

Yup, I read what you wrote and I think you’re wrong.

You said:

It’s not an issue. It wasn’t an issue in vanilla.

Honestly, reading comprehension.

You can create you own group from the interface :

Creating Groups

  • Groups created using ClassicLFG are visible to all players using it on the Realm.

Looking for Groups

  • You can look for groups for any dungeon, but there is also a “Custom” category for world events and more.

Meaning, at some point you can litteraly play ONLY with the others users of this addon by creating/joining group from the addon interface.

I didn’t say that. You completely put words in my mouth instead of reading what I wrote.

The backpedaling is strong with this one.

That link does not say what you’ve been saying.

It says they will be careful and make sure that these kind of “ social network” addons don’t go too far and that they will find a “middle ground” for them.

So don’t pretend this validates your agenda, it does not.

You can do all of those with this add on. If multiple people apply, feel free to chat with them.

I’ll be using this addon. Typing “Priest healer LFG DM” is not exactly the pinnacle of social interaction, so I’m fine with skipping it.
