why do the 'NO CHANGES' classic retards ruin every fucking thread?
Oceanic spriest, thanks blizz for giving us aus servers. 9/9 mythic.
But it doesn’t. With Legion and BFA, both having mythic +, I still have to go to the LFG tool to get groups. What’s hard to understand that?
Here is a thought for you, the person that can’t make friends in retail will not become some social bunny in classic. The person doesn’t change because the platform does. If that person is a dick or anti social, it won’t change in classic. Back in vanilla, people were still dicks, where do you think all the ninja looter memes came from?
Friend is easier to write than “in-game acquaintance”. It still about social interactions

But it does. You cannot generalize based on your own specific behavior.
In classic people are forced to make relations to friends and guild members if the want to avoid spamming trade chat. This is great!
as long as its a custom grp finder im fine with it.
No automatic bullshit.
None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.
If you want LFG you can play a game where LFG is introduced for like 10 years - it's called RETAIL. In Classic there is no LFG and never will be, so either you adapt to Classic rules or go back to your LFG game which Retail is. That simple.
Here is what you do to find a tank within 5 minutes:
1. Type in chat /who warrior xx-xx (xx = level range for the dungeon)
1a. You can also do this nifty trick on druids and paladins (for Alliance) if you can't find a warrior representative, although that is unlikely giving the extreme popularity of Classic at this moment.
2. Right click on any of the warriors currently not in a dungeon zone, for example Crossroads, Orgrimmar etc. and select whisper.
3. Type in a polite message such as: "Hey, I am sorry to disturb you but would you be interested in tanking dungeon xy (xy = name of dungeon), we have trouble finding a tank. "
4. Now highlight the underlined message "Hey, I am sorry to disturb you but would you be interested in tanking dungeon xy (xy = name of dungeon), we have trouble finding a tank. " and copy it with CTRL+C, do the same for other warriors by pasting the message with CTRL+V, I suggest 4-5 whispers per attempt to find a tank so you don't get overwhelmed with whispers.
5. Enjoy your new tank!
P.S.: You can copy my example message if you have trouble formulating a similar one, it has 100% success rate!

Right. It's a VERY bad idea.
I wouldn't mind a simple interface where people can sign up for dungeons / group quests or just questing. But nothing automated, if you look for a group to Deadmines, you'll have to whisper and talk to those who also signed up for it.
Kind of like moving the LFG /1 /2 and World chat to a simple interface instead.
Join #world
LFM 1 dps and 1 heal for "insert dungeon here"
invite classes you want
profit
Every group takes around 5 minutes to make. Even als solo dps at the moment.
Talk to people, play good and do your job. You will find friends and even a guild in no time and don't have to look so much for random people in worldchat anymore. Thats how I did it.
The idea to use a LFG tool for lvling later on when people are mostly raiding or doing lvl 60 content makes a lot of sense. But I would limit it even more. Make it a board in the city where you can add a LFG/LFM post. People can look it up and join and when the grp has reached the right amount of people it gets removed.
Why this way? Because it means you can't just replace someone via a tool mid instance because you don't like him or think he is too bad. That is part of WOW and getting through it. Learn th guy how to play, overperform even more, try different strats or do it the long way, kick him and start using the chat till someone gets back into the city to post a new LFM for a replacement.
I think a LFG/LFM board in each major city would be fine. It keeps the feeling of classic but allows others to find players without having to wait in the city all the time. You can't make a post from outside of the city and you can't change one from far away (except deleting).
