I see the LFG addon denied people are on stage 3, bargaining.
Only depression and acceptance to go.

I don't remember what add-on exactly it was but there were chat filters that were used as LFG Tools. Looking for a UBRS run? Filter for UBRS and the add-on created a new chat window with all messages that contained UBRS. Also you could use the add-on to post that you're looking for a run. I don't remember if there was auto invite based on certain pharses in classic but in BC there certainly was.
With classic you also have to remember that most people didn't use add-ons because they didn't know they existed, even in BC a lot of player still didn't use add-ons.
A simple Chat filter seems fine to me, as long as it only uses the same channels that everyone else does.
Group finding, especially when you didn't have a lot of time available, could be a headache at times. It stayed this way until Blizzard introduced their Group Finder tool in WotLK. A lot of us simply don't have the time we used to have. A method of getting a group together easier and faster can easily make or break whether or not we are able to do a lot of the content that is available.

@Embriel
The AMA from the addon dude is still at 19 CEST (in 3 hours from now?)
Cant wait for the spicy drama
TBH i dont mind a simple chat filter...but...it will make everything easier...i dont know...nothing we can do.
@Embriel
Did you watch the AMA?
I did...ended just now.
Maybe a recap would be nice.
Blizzard themselves are not sure yet what API changes will take place...so the author also doesnt know
I made several questions on stream.
I asked:
Q: "If Blizzard changes the API so the addon cant read chat what will happen? I dont think Blizzard will do it, but who knows."
R: Nothing will work if Blizzard does this but also many other addons wont work.

People are way too caught up on the "LFG" portion of the name in this add-on. In reality this add-on is nothing more than a glorified chat filter to help sort through the people that actually want to run a 5 man dire maul, people who want to talk about how DM really means the deadmines, people who want to talk about Chuck Norris, and people who want to link Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.
An add-on that filters out people's garbage that they post in chat is not malicious. The only thing wrong with the LFG add-on is that the author chose to include an infamous acronym in its title.

its a shame that blizzard doesnt respect its old customers who now dont have time to nolife game only caters to people who stolen from blizz for years by playing on private servers.
if blizzard respected players they would put current lfg tool into classic
- - - Updated - - -
in what f.... dusadvantage ?
if you support wasting time then waste your time and dont use addon
who cares - you are just a anonymus number on internet - stranger that 99,999999% of people playing game will never met
what advantage you want to get ? being able to do dungeon in 15 year old game ?
people get serious.
The addon of ClassicLFG is giving another interview right now
https://www.twitch.tv/warcraftradio
If you want to watch
I wonder if all of the people wanting some kind of LFG add-on played vanilla. Because you can only invite the people on your server and that usually isn't a ton of folks. It's not like you can search for an invite people on other servers, etc.
Most vanilla players ran group content with their guilds (and very few people were unguilded), with people they'd met and added to their friends list or, occasionally by using the chat channels. All out PUGing of content (building groups from PUGs all or almost all of the time) just wasn't done as much as it is in retail.
See, this sort of entitled attitude is why we don't want features which allow you to automate elements of the game which would otherwise require communication.
I could make the same argument. If you don't want to have your time wasted, and there being no LFG function would entail said time being wasted, you also have the choice not to play because clearly the game isn't for you.
Personally, I miss being able to take things slowly and chat to people without there being somebody with the attention span of a goldfish bitching and moaning about every little inconvenience.
If this feels like Blizzard disrespecting you, I'm fucking delighted. Please just play a game which already has the automation you're looking for, where you can treat the people you play with as a means to an end as much as you like. The bit in bold really sums it up - you see the interactions you have in-game as purely transactional, and by extension you probably act like a bit of a dick.
Mostly retailers that will just try the game for a few weeks and quit but still feel the need to ruin the game for everyone and the addon makers for obvious reasons
The addon makers are quite pathetic in trying to spit bullshit narratives about how the streamers are the only ones against these addons.
