It took me 43 minutes to get our group at SFK.
Getting from SW to RFK can take about 20 minutes if you don’t have the flight paths. UC to ZF can also take that long. This game has some long trips.
While I agree, remember that Outland is much smaller. And if they add in the TBC abilities for the meeting stones to summon folks or warlocks to summon people inside the instance, it will preserve the Classic “feel” while still being convenient.
Eliminating the need to use said channel, and thus changing a core way classic groups are formed.
That is fair. There’s also flying - which I’m sure will draw some consternation, but whatever. TBC is more convenient in general, at least as far as getting around goes.
In a sense, we already have lots of new/different ways that groups can be formed in Classic that weren’t even conceivable in 2005.

You can use tools like discord and lfg addons to find groups now sure. That doesn’t mean we should implement The lfg tool that didn’t come till TBC.
You’re right, we should do something better.
Let me guess LFD? Sounds like retail might be more to your liking.

It has zero impact on how groups are formed, a group leader advertises his group. People looking for a group apply and the group leader either accepts or declines them.
Nothing about having a graphic interface for that instead of a chat interface changes that core experience at all. In fact it enhances it as things don’t get lost in chat scroll.
LFD is better? You have twisted tastes.
I mean something actually better than Retail.
What are you smoking? Constantly having to spam channels (sometimes in creative ways) vs posting yourself once and afk’ing till a whisper hits. You’re trying to sell the idea that those two aren’t very different and won’t impact an experience?

You should probably read the whole post before commenting. The fundamental aspects of forming a group are the same either way.

Nothing about the LFG tool changes that.

LFD in WotLK was great, since I could still sell my tanking services for instant queues to my own server’s community. After that, it was worthless, though.
Nah I read it, and I get what you’re saying. But you’re just trying to avoid addressing the “experience” part of it that most people have a problem with.

I love LFG I’d go for it
Non cross realm, non teleportation LFG would be a godsend. The only people who could possibly have a problem with it are fake purists.
Cross-realm is what effectively killed the community because it made the other players in your group effectively faceless NPC. You’d be randomly paired with players you’d never see again, rather than joining groups with players where you could build relationships.
So many sleeper cells playing classic.
If they put in a LFG tool, greedy people couldn’t reserve and master loot everything. For some reason, people think they are “entitled” just for forming a group.
If you take that away, what will happen to them?
We need to protect the entitled loot whooooorz
