checking & trying to find group for hours… http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=25_worldofboosts.jpg
after getting a group and summoning the 3 far away players, cus no way to wait for them to WALK if it’ll take half hour! then at last i can finally play the dungeon and before we even reach first boss Healer left out of the blue then tank left, no one cared, i don’t bother to even remember their names because even if it’s same server non of us will ever met again anyway, so how is LFD any worse? http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=25_awesomeclassicexperince.jpg
on a side note while i was waiting I’ve spotted tons of bots going in & Out of dungeons, was waiting there for hours focusing on chat till i get a group because i we don’t have a feature as lfd to allow me to play the game while getting my group ready!
its happened to me plenty of times, and ive done it to other people plenty of times. Nothing really Changes from LFG/RDF if your talking about the way a group would act.
RDF just creates less work for the player.
For real, I watch my kids all day from 7 AM when I take 2 of them to school, then I’m with my baby until I pick up the 2 from school, and then they all 3 go to bed around 8. The last thing I want to do is spend an hour forming a group, flying to the dungeon to summon them, and then start all over when the tank and/or heals bails. At least with RDF I can do other things while in queue. Even if we don’t even get in the dungeon, I can at least get plenty of other things done during that time.
you probably told a lot of new players “go back to retail” and they went to try retail instead of trying classic, no wonder why classic lost tons of players
and for the levelers not in outland…unless you /dance by the top say 5 dungeons on the spam list good luck getting a run.
you are 20 to 28. Hope you like deadmines if alliance. its going to be the only real ad seen in lfg in that range. well ad that will fill up. My leveling NE hunter is probably on a few ignore lists for black fathom spam.
I’d not blame them either…I didn’t want to write my requests every few minutes either, tbh. I’d ignore me too. As I sure as hell ignored several people who an hour later…I just didn’t want to see their ads any more. My dude…you aren’t gettting that run. and I need to clean up my chat, nothing personal. Just business…
or for carries…providers will be lined up at mines and the top 5 spam dungeons. Some…even free. Doing mine farming, free tag along spot. Who wants it…? that goes quick.
Why you want to be /dancing there. No lock in party…closest person wins if dps. No one waits 15 minutes for transit for dime a dozen dps lol. Maybe tank and healer get that luxury. I’d not know.
Now go to black fathom. Hey naga npc…when was the last time someone, besides me, was here?
Naga goes I don’t know. Been a good long while dude. Why I haven’t killed you yet. I am so lonely. No one quests here even. so…been to SW and elwynn forest area? I hear its jumping there.
i bet if OP went on about how they had the best time, chatted the whole dungeon, met their new best friend and got engaged to the healer due to the bond of having to form the dungeon, you’d be praising the community and saying how this proves LFD is toxic somehow
No whenever you offer something positive as evidence that the sky is not falling some angsty user like yourself comes out and attacks the character of the poster, often labeling them a troll after dousing them with a healthy dose of vitriol.
even as a warlock with Seed, ive had the same experience as the OP… many times. pugging dungeons in TBC classic is a pain, and good effin luck getting a low level dungeon run without paying a tank or a booster.
it’s super pain & many groups only invite you after you agree on “unneeded to tank”
and one time after i got invited to group and moved to dungeon i got removed out of the blue, i whispered the leader “why did you remove me?” and he simply said “sorry need a mage”
Anectotal…is anecdotal. Some have good, some have bad. Both sides of this debate.
I personally have had more bad anecdotes than good. and most of good ones…were me helping new bro’s out.
Boosty rogue on atiesh, need to level first aid. Stockade time for wool spam. Literally there for wool. See a hitchhiker thumbing a ride I’d go I can carry. bit slow as a boosty 58…but I can. no cost. all I ask is all wool is mine. My at the time 24 hunter needs a dagger that doesn’t suck as well. BOE dagger drops, its mine. Wool and dagger mine, rest is all yours. Fair enough?
And thus somewhere out there is a player going see…this is community.
earlier this week bored and burning my time out till sub end I go lets see what grob looks like as a new, low level human rogue.
PVP got me to stay in retail for a bit (sl blahs set in quick…but I found solace in pvp till 9.2). Maybe pvp thrills on grob can pull tbcc out if its dive after no lfd announcement.
someone is offering carries for stockade. for like 4 gold a run.
New char, only a few silver…not happening. ask for a legit free groups setup. Cricket, cricket, cricket.
If people were running stockade they had 60+ chars who could make that 4 gold easy to cover the carry. Quick guaranteed run…they were probably jumping on the 4 gold offer.
No free stockade for me. No stockade at all. 45 minutes later I went back to beating the crap out kobolds and wolves (meat and skins for crafting).
