At least provide constructive feedback instead of trolling.

How is the pages upon pages of whining and threatening to quit the game helpful either?

Reasonable players? LMFAO!

I fail to understand why they keep making finding groups harder and harder. I never used any addons, but I did use "right click find group" on the quest tracker. I did use auto-accept option. I found those extremely useful.

Why are they making it harder to group up in an mmo game? This is pretty ridiculous.

I'd be willing to take the bet they are wrong lol

For sure. I think that's probably it, and I think you're very right. If anything, group finder has helped with guild recruiting.

Surely the people who are willing to put in the effort to manually create and search for their own groups instead of being so reliant on addons would be a more admirable quality to recruit them into a Guild?

the raging hyperbole, the hyped up mannerisms, you're getting this excited over some people not liking a change to WoW.

Clearly you're someone who fails to realize the irony and hypocrisy in their own retarded comments.

Blizzard seem to have this insane focus with "MAUs" recently aka Monthly Active Users rather than actual subs for WoW as of late.

Plus with how heavy they've been content gating does seem like they are focusing more on time played than people playing as of late.

Just my 2 cents though. I mean look at Broken Shore and it's 14 week gated "story".

For funsies, try requesting your account data if you're in the EU. I did, and they keep track of when you logged in to wow, how long you stayed online, and when you switched characters. It goes back atleast a year. Anybody who's under the illusion that "surely this can't all be for the shareholders" needs to look at the available evidence we have on hand right now.

To be honest I've never cared about this sort of thing of how many subs a game has because there's more than enough people in WoW.

But look at how much gating Legion has had compared to other expansions. Hell it even took the piss and gated an entire "story" by 14 weeks where only 1 week was actual story and the other 14 was just breadcrumb "go kill mob/fetch" quests.

Nobody can sit there and say gating content by 14 weeks isn't to keep people playing.

To be honest if I end up liking BFA but they pull a 14 week gate like that again I just won't stick around. Argus was fine. It was 3 weeks at most.

they want you to create groups/guilds/communitys to do content.

because when you find a group/guild/community to play the game with its more likely that you will keep playing the game even if you dont like it that much anymore but you like the time spend with those people.

so they want you to create a group with wich you then go on to do worldquests... great isnt it?

Now, does this mean you need to like the direction they are going? No, that is subjective and you are welcome to your opinion. For me, I am glad they are making these changes and the game moving back toward a more personal interaction like it used to be.

Cheers.

Just where have you been in the recent months? Mate, the leveling is so damn fucking slow now (even with heirloom) no words can describe it...If it took -let`s say- 4 days to get an alt from lvl 1 to lvl 110 and now takes 3 times more with the same effort from my side, then yes it has been made slower...by devs....
The rest of your comment is just gibberish..how the flying fck an auto accept of joining makes the game automated? It makes it more fluid, as I (the tank) can start a fight and let ppl to join mid fight without any focusing on a non-relevant part...the interaction with the content is the same (the mob have to die...)
i simply can`t decide...pathetic troll or mentally challenged person?

Remember a time when it took months to get to cap back in Vanilla? You also didn't have these QoL addons back then either.

Apparently for the "social connections".

Even without them it's gonna be the same shit.

Group up, do world quest, kthxbai and more than likely never see that person again.

I don't understand the change. It was a convenience thing like the LFD. If Blizzard wanted to force social interaction, you think they would do so for more meaningful content. If they came out today and said that LFD groups had to be created manually, in this day and age, it would seem ridiculous. That is how I feel about the world quest group finder.

And you can pull your fat head out of your ass.

Maybe he will once you stop deepthroating Blizzard's dick

Horrible change, just when I was about to resub. Not anymore.

Taking way the auto invite is stupid. Going to make getting into a world boss group more of a pain.

You make accusations, but it's obvious you're already burying your nose into the crotches of the Blizzard hating circlejerk.

Accepting group members now must be done manually, as the Auto-Accept functionality has been disabled.

Holy shit LOL

Umm...

My Orc Elemental Shaman has been named "Zapbomb" since MoP.

You know what I'll bite (and probably get my head bitten off in the process) you all tell me exactly why this is such a horribly, world ending, "Blizz kicked my puppy in the process as well", bad thing, especially considering that Blizz have said there were problems with bots, and it was straining and overloading their phasing and sharding tech too.
All I've seen it used for, and I used world quest tracker's group finder too, is just insta, 30sec to 2min WQ groups, no interaction, no talk just group, kill, ungroup, next quest, group, kill, ungroup, repeat ad nauseam.

Maybe I'm just blinded by the "olden days" when things were so much worse that anything that removes that level of grouping horror seems better, maybe the better that replaced it has become the new horror of grouping tedium, so please elaborate and help me understand.
