I honestly can't remember what WoW 1.13 was like with regards to queues and cross-realm and pvp and any of that stuff. I don't think we really care about being on a "dead" server, we're not taking anything that seriously, but I don't want to be waiting hours for BGs in a couple months when we happen to have a little free time to play together | ||

In line with what we shared at BlizzCon last year, we intend to be very careful about allowing add-on functionality that might undermine aspects of the social dynamics that are core to the Classic experience, even in cases like this where it’s clear that the addon author had no ill intent and was simply trying to provide a service to the Classic community. Ultimately, if a streamlined group-finding system was something we considered compatible with Classic, we would have kept the modern Premade Group Finder tool rather than choosing to remove it from the Classic client. It’s difficult to articulate a clear-cut rule for exactly when an add-on crosses the line. However, when an add-on goes beyond presenting information or providing aesthetic customization, and attempts to create an interconnected social network that relies on other players also using that same add-on, we are likely to scrutinize it particularly closely." | ||

The response time for even simple issues like appealing an automatic silence/ban due to a mistake in the system or a clique of players abusing the report functions is also 72 hours at the moment (GM's citing pre-classic traffic.. yikes when the actual launch happens) and those same systems are being applied to Classic. This is one area that's practically guaranteed to fall way short of the classic experience in a way that matters to me, yet almost nobody talks about it. I'd pay double sub for a dedicated GM team that plays the game and has live chat with a same-day response during certain business hours! | ||

00:49 @cyro Ill probably start on one of the new english pvp servers and play alliance with some friends. I was really considering playing mage for a bit but then i remembered how annoying it was to be mage in vanilla with everyone begging for tps and water. Having to arrive at the raids early to start the waterfall for every single healer and caster in the raid zzz. So im still undecided what class to play as of now. Kinda wanna do tank but i dont like warriors :/ | ||

That being said, I don't personally care either way. I have no idea what addons to expect to work, so I'm going in with assumptions that I might not use any at all. I will be interested to see where they keep drawing the line moving forward though, out of curiosity. | ||

The addon that they're talking about acted as a replacement for the LFG dungeon queue in modern WoW, where you just told it that you wanted to run e.g. deadmines and your role and it would invite 4 other people for you who happened to queue up. | ||

The curseforge description of the addon mentioned by name in the blue post (ClassicLFG) specifically says it doesn't do that. www.curseforge.com I suppose they could be lying tho. edit: none of this is helped by the fact that blizzard gave almost no detail about what exactly is wrong with the addon in question. What I got from the blue post is the that they object to addons which communicate with each other using custom chat channels because it excludes people without the addon, but not only is that not particularly necessary for this addon to function, if they disallow that they are gonna hit alot more than just LFG addons. | ||

You still need to manually contact, manually invite, get everyone to the instance/raid, etc. You're just cutting out the trade spam lol, and as a bonus maybe letting people filter the search by the instance or activity they're interested in. More extraneous things like some sort of gear level or automatic raid populating I can see why they'd be toeing the line. That is literally no different from retail mythic dungeon lfg. | ||

Here is footage showing the functionality ingame, it did indeed do that and those functions are what started the big debate a few days ago. It might not any more, i imagine the author would rather remove a few offending features than throw all of their work in the trash | ||
