So this is my first toon created during TBC. I played this toon through all of Wrath running with a 25 man raiding guild. I used LFD all the time to run dungeons and don’t see how taking it out will make the game better.
The Wrath dungeons were all pretty straightforward and not very difficult. After the first couple of patches, almost everyone knew the mechanics and runs were quick.
I think it’s a mistake to take LFD out of the game. The last thing I want to do is spam trade chat looking for groups.

or have to use an addon like LFG Bulletin board.
i agree its a huge oversight thinking taking out lfd will be better for the expansion. currently i have been lfg for the past hour and cant find one. either some of the players dont speak my language so cant see im lfg or everyone wants certain spec or class or gear score and stuff like that. LFD was the main THE MAIN feature i was looking forward to in wotlk.
Most of my posts lfg also get spammed out of sight by GDKP this and GDKP that. or over 9000 mages selling boosts so they can then use that gold to sell on thier websites for real money… and then blizzard says its hard to find the gold sellers… thats what is ruiningthe game and economy not LFD
try to imagine if current TBC-C have LFG tool right now?
about lvling…
-the poor people who’s leveling without buying boosts, could’ve better social experience by meeting other players in dungeons through RDF rather than solo lvling with quests without stepping into any dungeon at all.
“in the same time, People are saying that it’s OK when all non-poor players just buy boosts till max lvl by afking without having any social experience”
about farming heroics…
those who missed the first/second phase will not just struggle while leveling But they’ll find it so hard to ever find any max lvl group because at that point, pvp’ers will never step into dungeons and most pve’ers will only care about raiding, meanwhile people who wanna spam heroics will only do it among their guild roster.
" so it’s Ok for closed circle players to never interact with others? But it’s Not OK if randoms want a tool to interact with each other via it"
There aren’t enough players to support getting a group instantly at every level all day long. This happened just like this back in Vanilla and Vanilla TBC before paid boost and before mage boosting. It takes thousands of players leveling at the same time to get into a dungeon group without much of a wait. Here is why: players don’t level at the same pace, players don’t play at the same time, players don’t all want to run a dungeon all at the same time. The odds of a player being at your level is small, the odds of a player at your level wanting to run the same dungeon you do at the exact same time as you do is also small.
This is where I’m at too. I see the benefits of LFD, of course I do. I played all the expansions when it was retail, taking breaks here and there, and I used the tool and I liked the tool. Having been through it, I definitely also do see why this go-around they wouldn’t want to include it in WOTLKC. I’ll probably still play WOTLKC either way, as I can see the pros and cons of both sides and I don’t have particularly strong feelings about it either way.
As a 35-year-old married woman with a full time job and 2 pre-school-aged children, I am posting on my t6 bis classic main to say I would support no LFD in WOTLKC. I don’t feel “my way or the highway” about it but I would be fine if they stuck by that decision.
So because the chances are small then lets take out the chance completely? seems rather silly does it not? it helps those at that level find each other. for instance im in zanger farming and those looking for group are in hellfire spaming the channel. now we cant use LFG channels cause they are spammed so hard core you cant keep up from boosters and gdkp runners. so people turn off the lfg channel and resort to trying to spam other channels to find people.
what about those that dont speak the same language as one another. this tool allows them to play together and join up.
i just dont see how the dungeon finder tool is going to ruin the experience. they speak of a community… there is only a community for launch and for those racing to max lvl. once there the numbers become smaller and harder to find and then left behind. the tool wont ruin the game it will make it more enjoyable for the casual player.
i feel stating your personal situation like you are time poor cause you are 35 married and have kids has no bearing on your ability to be T6 bis. it just states that you spend your free time playing wow and have a good guild and enjoy your situation.
I can do the same in opposite. I run a company i work 5 sometimes 6 or even 7 days a week. i have 2 special needs children and im married. i get about 2 hours a night IF i stay up late to play. I also have 0 guilds i have found that i can raid at their times. so dungeons is the only fun i get. and now thats something i will have to struggle to find like i do now.
Each persons individual circumstances are not the point here. i feel that the issue of will the tool ruin the gaming experience or will it not? i dont see how it will ruin the game experience.
My retail main that I did not finish leveling to 60 because Shadowlands wasn’t doing it for me at all. Feel free to armory my Draenor/Legion achieves to prove that I do play the game. When it had and when it didn’t have LFD. I support no LFD in WOTLKC.
I’m just responding to the OP who asked people to post on their classic 70 mains if they support no LFD in WOTLKC. I already said I do see pros and cons for both sides of the argument and I’d probably still play WOTLKC either way.
What does it matter on level.
I am the same person that plays no matter what character I post on the forums.
I personally believe Blizzard should just do these two things.
And I am being nice on the first one.
Release pre patch that way you can experience the patch.
Again I am being nice on the pre patch. I don’t it is necessary to play wrath.
Second thing is just drop wrath patch 3.3.5 after the pre patch.
No phases no nothing but 3.3.5.
If you want, no better yet let me log on to a higher level character and repeat what I just said to make you feel better.
It’s me Frostytoes the same person that just posted on dropping 3.3.5.
Blizzard needs to drop 3.3.5 no pre patch no phases.
“Players rediscovering Wrath of the Lich King Classic won’t find the Looking for Dungeon feature originally added in Patch 3.3.5”
Now I am not nice about the pre patch.
That way I and everyone else can enjoy everything that Wrath has to offer and not have to wait.
Every one wanted to experience WoW Classics.
But now they want to experience WoW they way they want to.
See it does not matter on level of character that posts.
I still have the same opinion on what Blizzard needs to do.
I remember that LDF did not come out when Wrath was released.
