Comment by GendouWow. I am really disappointed in their answer to the LFG mod question.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt, assuming it was a server load problem.

But in the end, they really did just want to force people to do quests the hard slow way.

Really disappointed by that answer.Comment by KendrubbinBut large amount of quests for leveling are designed for solo playersComment by talloenGotta have that pride and accomplishment from doing WQ's solo!

Ridiculous reasoning.Comment by ShriekmawThat is such a BS answer for the LFG addons.Comment by NixeskaCan we go back to daily quest hubs instead of world quests then?Comment by AzzazzeloInstant gratification defenders incomming.Comment by JadeHeartWe will form groups in Classic... WoW it's mostly casual solo game nowadays. So, give us back the auto-accept option.
Like most of the things Blizzard added, which they shouldn't in the name of the "social part/MMO", this one should stay too now.Comment by Sielinthqueue the outrage then i guess

I wonder if they can restore the auto accept but hide it from the public APIComment by Bloodvalor21There was already a solution for freeloaders: kick them. Anytime I was group leader and someone was just flying around I tossed them out. Punishing all players who enjoyed the feature and removing it entirely because of a few lazy bums is ridiculous.Comment by TaarakianThe answer about LFG addons is ridiculous. It's so ridiculous, it seems obvious they're going to re-enable some of that functionality a month or two after BFA launches. That's what's happening here. They removed it for the launch window.Comment by PriestVolkovI have to say i def hope we keep away from garrisons in the future. it was isolating. i wasnt a big fan of he LFG addons either so i have no issues with that. i do however think heritage armor would be great for all races.Comment by rubenmsallesBattle for Azeroth sounds now Nerfing Azeroth. What will be the next? mounting for 30 secs with 5 min cd? increasing repair cost?
And that LFG answer is just "we want you to play alone an mmo-rpg game, just because taking credit for killing mobs for just to be in a group isn't what blizzard want" isn't the best answer, you know?Comment by SkrauhgI understand completely the reasoning behind the LFG removal. You want rewards? Do it yourself. Don't form a group and then just have people join just to do it for you.Comment by 1801230This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Power200Their LFG excuse is so asinine, sometimes i really lose hope in the devsComment by 1801230This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by ArthustinusThe answer about LFG addons is ridiculous.
