To the people whining, how's this any different to forming a group while shouting in Cities? This isn't automated... it's similar to the Premade Groups Finder, minus the cross realming...
Great addition if they do it, the group finder added in WoD was one of the best additions to WoW. I hope people realize its not the automatic LFG Lol. People see group finder and they freak.
It's going the be roughly the same as it was in TBC to begin with. No auto grouping and no porting you to the dungeon, it's basically a listing system. Patch 2.0.1 (2006-12-05): A new Looking For Group tool designed to assist players in finding groups for instanced dungeons and quests will now be available. This interface gives players the option to be added to a pool of other players also looking for a group, as a means to expedite the process. In addition, players will also be able to search for additional members in situations where they have a group and are simply looking to find more players. For a complete overview of this new interface, please take a moment and read the information contained on our comprehensive Looking for Group preview.LookingForGroup channel was removed.Interview Highlights:https://www.warcrafttavern.com/tbc/news/interview-with-john-hight-and-brian-birmingham-by-mr-gm/and this link shows you the original in TBC....http://web.archive.org/web/20071023013614/http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/lookingforgroup.html
Please no random group finder! We love the social aspect of finding groups. Don't remove part of the social aspect that is WoW. No cross-realm BS. No instant teleport to dungeons. NO NO NO.
I get the feeling some people never used the LFG in retail to do M0 or M+, like quit acting like that thing suck cause in my opinion it don't, I remember sitting hrs on end looking for x class for TBC dungeons in Trade and i tell ya LFG hasn't ruined the game so if you commenting about how you quit WoW cause of LFG then why are you playing when you are basically in trade spamming"LFM or LFG X dungeon", also even if you are spamming Trade or doing the LFG tool doesn't mean it's stopping ppl from being social cause no matter what Blizzard adds or take ppl will or will not be social especially when it comes to dungeons and such, most you'll get is a "hello or hi" and someone may speak for a rez or lust, no matter what version of the game you play the players are not that version of the year the game was played, most ppl social interraction to others have changed and for me I rarely see ppl chatting in groups unless guildies and thats just random jokes so if you feel LFG gonna take that aspect away from you then my friend you might wanna run with guildies ot friends cause randoms wanna get crap done and move on, but all this just my opinion I might be wrong so just take it with a grain of salt.
YES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
A version of group finder existed in Vanilla and they canned it from Classic. #NoChanges never existed.
"However, they will not be adding automatic group making or queueing.""Again to clarify, they do not want to add fully automatic matchmaking, but may like to provide a better way for players to list their groups"I swear to God, you people currently crying have to be the stupidest type I've ever met. This post mentions it TWICE that this will not be what is in Retail. This is just an UI change to a tool that's already in the game.Please, for the love of God, just once read the post before come crying in the comments.
I’m okay with it listing groups. I know this is because they don’t want to backport the old tool. However, porting is a BIG NO. And I have concerns about ilvl being visible. Big concerns about that. People are going to be excluded from groups for this, no doubt.
Make the LFG tool server only
No cross server and I’m fine with it
It's truly astonishing how many boomers can't read.
Funny how people only read the title and goes directly to the comment section....please read the article and bold words before crying.
