They have effectively removed lfd from the game. It's a big disappointment to me that we can't que for the dungeons.

For the people that have been playing for 12+ years and raided with great guilds that have eventually fell apart due to the strains on real life, this suggestion sounds quite tedious. All I can say is that Blizzard proves that they don't know how to treat their oldest and most faithful customers well, time and time again.
It's kind of a shame, really. It's a loss/loss situation overall. For me, I don't get to see the new and fancy Kharazan:P. For Blizz, they keep on losing older players that went casual due to RL responsibilities.
I get accepted into nearly all things I apply to. Again, I use an ancient secret that most clickbaiters wish to know, click HERE to know more....
If someone manages to have poorly optimized gear and a 750lvl weapon with the insane catch-up mechanism and being showered in gear, they have some serious fucking issues. I made a warlock last week-end (from 1) so we can use in a Mythic fight(gateway). I got to 846 ilvl pretty much alone and I have 16 hours total played.
You people would be so much better off using time to figure out how not to suck instead of complaining on forums.
The major problem with the current LFG system is that we can't apply to more than 5 dungeons at a time. I remember using Oqueue during MoP, it was very similar to the current LFG tools, except that you could apply to as many dungeons/raid/premade pvp as you wanted. I was able to find group for any kind of activity in just a few minutes on any of my alt.

Boost, Legion leveling is only around 7 hours if I slack, spent 5k on the cheapest gear I could, pvp stuff, go through a normal mythic with my guild, get a +2boost, get a +5 boost, LFR, WQs give 835 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
This expansion feels fastest when it comes to getting serviceable alts. The other reason I got another alt is because I want to get JWC/Insc to 800.
Yeh this expansion is terrible for pugging.
Trying to join a group: high decline rate, can take up to 30 min to actually get an inv
Making your own group: long waiting time for a tank & healer, also up to 30 min-ish.
So it's basically pick your poison.
There's a shortage of tanks and healers for 5-man content atm. 5-man content has different proportions than raid content: it's 1-1-3 instead of 2-4-14 (for mythic) in raids. As raids are natural endgame for most of "active guilded" players, this creates a frustrating situation, where there's a huge surplus of DPS roles over any other. So for 5-mans you're stuck with offspecs and let me tell you, offspecs are painful grind in this expansion. Not too terrible after a deeper look at it, but still additional grind that's discouraging people.
The problems are 860 ilvl dps who queue and fail to deliver HARD. Had a mage yesterday, couldnt even get above 200k dps anywhere, aoe or boss. He was queued with 861. I know some legendaries in his bags do count towards his ilvl, but common....even with 820 you can do better.
That said, I always like to give people a chance. Invited a 835 SV hunter. When I queue as dps though, I dont find myself rejected that often. And I dont even have 1 legendary, playing DH on 855 ish
Well if you gear like 875+ you are not going to have problems getting a group.
I am sure it does when you have a guild at your beck and call to drag you through high end content lol. Most people aren't that lucky. For we mundanes at the bottom of the barrel getting 840 is a chore. No doubt you will be thinking getting proffs to 800 is easy with 20 people feeding you ore and herbs.
As I said, I only did the regular Mythic dungeon with my guild but I guess reading is hard. You can easily find boost groups that will take you on a Regular, +2, +5 mythic combo.
Also about proffs, I made 27 mil gold this expansion on the new realm I started on. I had 8k gold and no inventory when Legion launched. Mats won't be an issue.
As I said in this or maybe the other thread, if you "mundanes" spent as much time understanding the game as you do complaining on forums, we wouldn't have these retarded threads.

This. Same situation for me, except that I don't have an active guild but I do have an active friend list. Not only do they all have their fixed reliable groups on a weekly basis, they are all nearly done by the time I get home from work and log in to play.
I skipped Enhancement and went Resto for the simple reason that I'm never getting geared without doing so and as a result I'll never find a raiding guild suiting my needs.

That has changed as well. A few weeks ago there were more boost requests in the LFD tool than anything else, now it has really shifted. There's maybe 1 group requesting a key, filled in seconds. There's mostly a "Need Boost, My Key" groups up now with only the keyholder in it.
