    If no group finder tool is added, will the community make their own?

    If Blizzard plans to not add a group finder tool (not an automatic queue, but similar to the one in game where we look for groups and sign up, and then you have to run to the instance portal or be summoned) to the classic wow experience, do you think the community will form one of their own?

    Maybe through addons or third party websites? Even in this day and age, efficiency is key to many people, and I can only imagine that people will join or start some sort of website or addon that will allow them to find groups without having to spam /2 all day.

    Would you be open to an official group finder tool that is optional to use (can toggle on or off) in Classic WoW?

    Dont worry. Current addons probably have full factionallity plus ppl will make a fuck ton more for everything u can imagine.

    Things like that should be disallowed to preserve the classic feeling

    Why are there posts like this every day? Ion has already very clearly said that if it wasn't in Vanilla, it won't be in Classic. Hypotheticals like this that are confirmed to never happen are a waste of bandwidth.

    Yeah Ion Haziokostas and J Allen Brack have both gone on the record and outright said that LFG/Group finders will not be in Classic, If an addon is created for LFG then you can go download the addon don't force it on everyone else just because you're to lazy to bother with downloading a optional addon that is not in anyway mandatory.

    Let addons remain addons if you can't live without questhelper for example then download it many of us would like to play without it and would not like to have a bunch of floating exclamation points and floating markers telling us how to play the game.

    The reason people don't like GF or RF are not for the group forming abilities... they are for the fact that they shrink the world by teleporting you to the instance, and because they destroy community by being crossrealm.

    No addon can recreate that.

    Lol, there are actually people that don't think people had stupid restrictions on shit in Vanilla

    On-topic - Of course there will be group making Addons. People expecting the old Vanilla community are deluding themselves

    I expect people wanting Classic will be just fine with or without a group finder tool.

    We'll have group finder. it's called LFG Channel. If not that, then I'm pretty sure there will be community run discord servers/channels dedicated to Classic Servers.

    /4 LFM UBRS Need someone with key and CC
    /w Leader I'm a hunter and I know how to kite Drak
    *Leader has invited you to the group*
    We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

    Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
    I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

    There's a lot of missing the point going on in this thread. The ONLY reason people hate GF in retail is because it 1) Teleports you to the instance and back, and 2) Puts you in groups with people from other servers.

    Even if modders make a GF addon, they cannot add those features. If it's just a convenience interface that broadcasts what instance your interested in while you go out and quests, there literally no harm.

    I think the bolded cannot be over stated enough. From Wrath up through WoD the vast majority of communication I had with others was via some VOIP program. Can't count the number of times, after having left a pug, I noticed that someone in the pug had sent me messages in game... whoops! I would think to myself - People still text msg each other in game? Who knew!

    This. Many use Discord these days too. No need for anything to be added to the game which wasn't originally there.

    Of OpenRaid was smart, they'd add classic dungeon Functionality.

    If they still exist, I'm sure they will. Always had great experiences with that community.

    Of course they will Jay.

    If the API allows for an addon like that to work then it will happen. Simple as that. All Blizzard can do is break it.

    Just watch, people will still make insane requirements lol. Just watch, they'll summon you and say "oh you don't have thunderfury?" and they'll kick.
