Blizz could give us Classic exactly replicated but the players are not the same. I only socialize within guild chat. We are two expansions deep and I rarely run into groups talking to each other. Most people drop group as soon as instance or quest is done. This is how current players are. LFD fixes problems for low pop realms and those of us with lives that want to run a few dungeons, not sit in Dal reading the LFG channel with all its spam and trolls. The social argument is null and void

It is what it is, Blizzard doesnât want LFD in WotLK we can only hope that they revert the change.

90% of the social aspect of Classic WoW is within discord. There can be 80 people online and my guild chat is empty for hours, yet discord has 40 people in it, people spamming memeâs, etc. Someone hops in voice and says âlets do a dungeon nerdsâ and we tell him to âgit gud scrubâ and then stuff happens. Not a single word spoken in game.

I strongly feel that over half of what people claim is âin game socializationâ is actually not happening in game up in a discord server. which hurts the Anti-RDF stance of it killing in game socialization.

It creates more problems than it fixes. Classic isnât about âGO GO GOâ.
Thatâs not an excuse to just shrug your shoulders and go âEh, who caresâ.
Pro-community people like myself care. If youâre not talking in groups, youâre actually part of the problem, not the solution.

False, it fixes more problems (that are actually caused by the âsocialâ aspects of wow) than it causes.
If you were pro-community then you wouldnât be anti-LFD. LFD is more beneficial to community than whatever excuse to make up against it.

Excuse me?
holds up a mirror
So⌠what are you?
You havenât given any good reasons why the thing that has been pointed to for literal years as the destructive force behind the loss of community in this game should be added the second time around.
Youâve gotten so used to having it, that you canât see itâs the reason why you think the way you do about it.
âIt creates more problems than it fixes. Classic isnât about âGO GO GOâ.â
might wanna tell 95% of the groups Iâm in that.

Funny thing is Iâve seen some try it.
and the police come in. This is not what this channel is for!
You want to tell the police to install bulletin board like add ons and leave us be really. Not like you can readily see real ads between wts on a busy night anyway.
channel 4 is game wide so yeahâŚnow we can shoot the breeze with whomever where ever. NIce for when its open world quest nights. and I chipping away on a mob + 2 to my level. Pet is doing its thing, me autofire bow, get 100% threat auto attack melee.
When low on mana (happens a bit) I save that for pet mend and hunters mark casts as hunters mark is also my explicit pet attack macro since I prefer passive pets. I push my water breaks to when its really really needed lol.
That youâre all degenerate players that are destroying the game you wanted because it was supposed to be âslower-paced and more community-focusedâ?
Hereâs your call out then.
Play a tank.
Start a dungeon run.
Ask any interested players if theyâre for removing LFD from LKClassic.
Decline to invite any players who answer in the affirmative.

Iâm a genuine player that wants a good game for myself and for others. I actually care about the longevity and health of the game.
I stopped playing in MoP and started again the day Classic was launched. Iâve been without it for years. Maybe it didnât quite fit the aesthetic of vanilla, but it certainly does wrath.
There have been no âliteral yearsâ of destructive force behind LFD. It started with Cataclysm and subsequently LFR. It didnât help that the next 3 expansions were complete garbage with things that are the exact reason why retail started failing such as garrisons, borrowed power, legendaries for everyone, removal of class homogenization and talents, personal lootâŚi could go on for hours, and this is just what iâve read from the retail forums. Very rarely is LFD even mentioned.
You and very few others have delusioned yourself to think that LFD started this great downfall when it literally had almost nothing to do with it.

Well the content is cleared pretty easy so thatâs pretty much go go go, thereâs no reason to take your time clearing the dungeon.
I try to talk in groups and all I get are crickets, I consistantly talk in the dungeons I go to and I pretty much never get a response.
Why would you take your time clearing? thatâs like killing a mob while leveling then spending 2 minutes eating even though your full mana and health. Itâs a waste of time.

ClearieCd easly, not if youâre a solo palyer." ataclysm is what turned us into the one man leveling machines we are today. ANd thaâts a HUGE problem. Wrecks the whole point of an MMORPG.
Except nothing inherent to the games mechanics makes it that way.
That is entirely player driven.

What? Weâre talking about group content not things you do by yourself. More accurately weâre talking about LFD in WotLK so while you may have a point (I donât actually know) but weâre not talking about cata.
