Why LFD is bad

So to me there is only one reason why LFD was a bad addition to the game.

It removed the purpose of traveling to the dungeon due to being teleported so if you wanted to you could just afk in the city until your queue popped.

This aspect greatly harmed wpvp along with flying and created a lazy passive playstyle.

It’s absolutely adorable that you think either of those things hurt WPvP.

If they cave to the people on the forums, I hope they at least remove the cross server functionality and teleporting. That’s a fair middle ground. If I remember correctly, back in the day it was anyone in your battlegroup could be put in your groups, right?

How is flying up and clicking num lock or getting summoned that much better of an experience than just being teleported their and saving you time?

I out rank almost all of you with 8 Accounts. They should implement LFD. You can all flame me, don’t waste your “breath” because I use the forums once a year, if that.

Just like Blizzard Devs :upside_down_face:

Huh? I literally hop on my 280 mount with riding crop, press my autorun button, and I’m at the dungeon in one minute. Such engaging gameplay. LFD didn’t kill anything lol, epic flying mounts did

Cross server restricted sure, but the no teleport makes no sense. In wrath people will have 310 flyers and riding crops, so they’ll zoom around even faster than in tbc. Already we just zoom 1 minute to dungeons. Lack of teleport is just a nuisance at this point. The only way it would matter is if flying mounts were removed and I sincerely doubt blizz will do that.

Well you see, on a PvP server. When you travel to the dungeon and summon people those on a PvP server can choose whether or not to gank you.

LFD removes that option and hurts wpvp by just allowing people to teleport into the dungeon.

it kind of goes without saying, but there should be no cross-realm nonsense either.

They both did hurt WPvP… back in the day. But the community and its behaviour has since shown that, over time, people who hate PvP all roll on PvP servers because its “where the best players are” while hating the pvp that happens. As such, we now have glorified pve servers because it turns out people who hate pvp shouldn’t play on those servers.

On paper, I have been against stuff like flying and LFD for all the reasons stated, but the past 3 years have gone to show that it is irrelevant because the community has killed all those things itself now anyways.

do you wpvp in sanctuary zones?

So we should also instantly teleport to quest mobs, new towns, etc because we have fast flying mounts?

and now we know why they take away flying every expansion, don’t we?

Clearly the answer is lasers strapped onto flying mounts.

Make wpvp great again.

Incorrect.

Battlegrounds ended WPvP.

sure, but that doesn’t mean removing one of the last reasons to venture outside the city doesn’t hurt WPvP even more.

They should remove the ability to queue and go afk in town. Make everyone ride out to the bg instance portals and queue there. They have to exit there as well. That could improve things.

Make that happen for Wrath, Blizz.

So OP, I assume you’d want the battleground queue removed from the game too, right? Players should have to travel to bg entrances.

I’m not opposed although bgs don’t offer the same benefits as dungeons, it’s sport.
