Why does it say im instance locked

I did trash with a group this week in mc and now i cant walk into my guild raid. but whenever i walk in solo it give me the prompt to leave or be saved whats the deal ?

Its that trash run unfortunately a GM cant fix that.

If you join a raid ID and said raid clear the rest of the area, you’d be locked to that ID. You’ve been given a request to confirmed if you want to join this raid id.

If you already accepted it, you can’t decline it anymore.

Once you accept a lockout, you can’t un-accept it until the weekly reset.

Upon zoning in to an in-progress lockout if you don’t have one, you’ll be given the option to accept the lockout, or zone out. If you don’t reply after 1 minute, you’ll accept the lockout.

i didnt accept it

what does your /raidinfo say?

Only other explanation would be if your trash run pulled a Boss during it causing a raid lockout to form.

OR if a Boss was pulled while you left the raid group.

i literally picked the option that ports you to the gy

If anyone in the group killed a boss before you entered, you were then tied to that group’s raid ID. There would not be any way for a GM to reset your raid ID. For Molten Core, that raid will reset on Tuesday.

Edit:

Molten Core is a strict instance-based lockout raid.

so whats the fix ?

You were trying to enter the instance without being in a group. You’d still be using the original group’s raid ID. When you tried to enter with your guild, you were unable to do so since you were tied to another group’s raid ID.

There is none, you are SOL. You will have to wait for reset.

Raid Lockouts in classic are very finicky and temperamental with many different ways for you to be locked to one.

There is no “fix” since the lockout system is working as intended. For WoW Classic, you are saved immediately when you enter the raid, unlike Retail which might be loot-based or flexible boss-based.

how do people trash farm then ?

People typically only do that if there’s no chance of them possibly running that raid with another group such as a guild. Even if they are going to run a raid with a guild, people would typically pick a different raid to farm other than the one they are supposed to be running with the guild.

all the things you described i did

So you were farming trash in Molten Core with another group, and wanted to run Molten Core with your guild as well?

I’m trying to make sure I understand what you’re saying.

i dont understand how im locked cause i joined a trash group where we killed zero bosses with me in the group now im saved yet it says im not saved when i walk in to the instance and yes

i got zero loot killed zero bosses never got near a boss tbh i only needed alittle rep so when i ran with guild this week i would be reveredonly killed like 5 or 6 trash mobs
