lol /world someone playing on them private severs to long.
Never played on a private server. Doesnât mean I donât know what the global channel will be.
The only global channel in vanilla was world defense and you had to be i think rank 11 to even use it?
that is seriously horrifying
anyone who uses this will be shunned by me

Yeah yeah, they should just put LFG, transmog achievement updated graphics, pet battle etcâŠ
Donât use them if you donât like it. What a stupid reaction.
Such a bunch of cry babies, oh no, someone doesnât have to sit in IF for 20 minutes spamming chat channels to build a groupâŠ

The stupid part is thinking that an addon like this means something.

Thatâs quite the logical leap youâre trying to make.
As mentioned several times in this thread, ClassicLFG has a feature to message chat channels so that people without the addon know youâre making a group and can also whisper you for an invite just as the people with the addon can.
In Classic youâre trying to form a PUG from a much smaller group of people so even the players using an addon still want to make sure theyâre reaching as wide an audience as possible, which includes people not using the addon.
Oh hell no. It goes against everything classic is about. Go play retail if you want the QOL add ons. Add ons like that are community killers and guild breakers. I say no thanks. Blizzard needs to break it and ban it.

Only a matter of time before someone takes this concept and adds an automatic BiS checker or some other cancer to it.

You all know that is not new right?
I mean. . this addon has been in development for MONTHS.
And now that a fourth rate twitter troll and pserver fanboy posts about it you all get up in arms.
Please.
Andy. . dude get a grip man. You know you are putting up strawman arguments.
Will I use a LFG addon? NO. . Do I care if others do when it fits within the API we have right now? NO.
Stop trying to be this holy than though gatekeeper of what is the âspirit of vanillaâ
It will die on the branch of no use. Just stop with the sky is falling crap.

On most private servers, and some retail servers, people established an LFG or âWorldâ channel that anyone could join which allowed them to basically find groups without sitting in Trade chat.
Itâll happen again in Classic.

Guild banks didnât change the spirit of the game. Before that people just made guild bank alts and had to deal with mailing/trading stuff between that alt and others. Guild members had no idea what was in the bank and management of who got what was a real pain.
Even the guild bank didnât go far enough, it could have been made far more convenient. And it still wouldnât have ruined the spirit of the game, in fact it would have brought guilds closer together to be able to share stuff more easily.
Not all changes are bad, sometimes change can foster communities.

On private servers we had a great addon called vqueue. All it does is monitor chat channels for people looking for more for dungeons and then alert you when someone if LFM for a dungeon you want. Doesnât put you into a group, you still have to message the group lead and ask for an invite. Its literally the same as watching the /world channel.
Hard to tell from his post if this actually does anything different, but if its the same who caresâŠ

I highly doubt most people would have it set to âautoâ even if it did that, that just spells bad news, youâre still going to want to talk to the people applying to your group.
All the thing that you mention and this does is allow you more freedom in where you locate yourself when looking for groups, it functions the same as the spam honestly, people are just blowing up because itâs the next big thing to blow up about since they canât get rid of layering.

It is a slippery slope. People wanted classic to get away from that. Heck people rail against TBC because LFG addon ruined the game for them. Once you start on the path for change and making things easier is the slippery slope. It was ok to do this, I guess we can do this other thing now. Pretty much leading up to where retail is eventually. This is how it starts.

Adding a bad idea to a good idea doesnât mean that the original good idea was bad in the first place. People can make gear checkers with or without the ClassicLFG addon.
This is like saying, âCars? Things were better back in my day when everyone used horses and buggies! Next thing you know people will be driving into people on purpose, BAN ALL CARS!â
