Is there an addon on ps that allows you to give "notes" to all players you meet?
An addon like that could only improve the classic experience.
My brain forgets people constatntly.
I would probably forget the name of the person who helped me on a difficult quest while leveling
So what has that got to do with the post of mine you quoted originally? You're not actually claiming a 45 min baron run takes an hour (given I already accepted you'd have to be generous to time wasters). UBRS runs take about 45 minutes to complete, even with 10 people, unless you make a habit of standing around while people go AFK. Even then most of the run you can afford to have someone answering the front door while you clear trash or any of the bosses.
So yeah, not sure what you're saying, hence "??".
Im saying that it was a CHALLENGE to get it done that fast, most people took well above 45 minutes in UD Strat, BRD runs ive been lost in upwards of 3 hours especially if you wipe to ANYTHING when you are more than 30% in you can wind up having to reclear half an instance. Like ive already resolved to not pug jailbreak for Ony attunement just because even though its right next to the front door ive met more failure than success with that damn quest. We are all vastly better at video games by now (I hope) so yes the dynamic probably changes but since we dont have access to these things going off how they were in 05....these dungeons were a crap shoot. Dont join a party if you dont have 2 hours to burn was a general theme.
Keep discussion not related to the addon to other, more suitable parts of the forum.
Was, sure.
No one will know for sure I guess, but the attitude of "This aspect of the game will take more than I can afford therefore tailor it to take less time for me" was the 'beginning of the end' and very counter to the feelings people were expressing when asking for Classic back. I get that this particular addon isn't an LFG tool in the modern sense; I was just refuting that argument. Very much in the "hurr durr go play retail if you don't have time for Classic" sense that's been staple of this subforum since it's inception.
EDIT: Sorry for the offtopic.
Yeah! I only wanna find my groups by standing around in SW not doing anything productive and spamming trade chat!!1

False. Why make up lies?
It's a pretty simple concept that Blizz couldn't do anything about anyway if enough people used the addon. All it takes is for one person to be in a city and it essentially records their chat log and posts it in the addon chatlog if it appears to be a message concerning looking for a group. So, it would just have to look for key words like "looking for group" or "LFG" and other variations. The addon can simply use a custom created channel in the background to store the messages that get pulled in from other users and then another channel that posts messages out to users. There's no realistic way to block this without breaking things in their own game.
I assume that's the gist of the concept or at least how I would approach it.
I wish someone would just port the PremadeGroupFinder to Classic. It's a very good tool for creating and finding groups.
I mean ultimately this does sound like something that existed. I dont remember a ton but it was basically an addon that linked to other people who had the addon that basically just extended city chats to you as long as someone with the addon was in one. Wasnt a ton of functionality beyond that you still had to manually /w someone once you saw there spam. I guess you could just call it a chat extender?
Edit: I see basically the entire beta is in a custom world channel but i feel like either the ability to create that didnt exist back then or we were collectively too stupid to do it. One of the biggest draws to the upper pvp ranks was talking in a global channel.
I'm curious as to whether you have this implemented, and functional in the addon or you're just full of it/trolling, because in patch 5.1 Blizzard intentionally broke oQueue under the guise of auto-queuing PvP premades for group members. Not only did they disable that functionality (obviously), they disabled exactly what you're describing as "people can queue for your group and show up in a list".
Ion explicitly stated at Blizzcon. Source.Small tweaks will be made but core original ideas like having to manually find a party without LFG (looking for group) tools are in
Either way, I'm guessing that Blizzard won't allow such addons, as with the case of oQueue. In the end, all you're really offering is saving someone the time to type out "LF1M Mara, need heals".
You are assuming that the same people that played way back when are simply going to be the only ones playing Classic. I think many like yourself are absolutely in for a very rude awakening if you think that Classic is going to be any sociable than the retail version finds itself today. You and others may have some controls like old, but the people that did not play Classic, but have played everything since will be the bulk of the people who will turn Classic into the current retail version in due time. The real world and this game were far different animals than way back when in 2004 through 2006.
People today are far more anti-social, intolerant, self-indulged, and self-absorbed for Classic to be anything remotely close to the social being it was long ago. Course that is not going to keep people like yourself from spouting delusional nonsense, like above. Addons and everything else will eventually find there way into Classic and one only has to turn to retail version of every game on the block out there today that have been turned into utter sh*tholes over the course of time. The community this time around will not be able to keep the bad elements from rearing the own ugly head. This Classic version of the game will be retail, not private, so anything and everything will simply go.
