Good boy try to be “flashy” with your worthless comments.
Instead try to be constructive?
We know you do not like dungeon finder (altho you have no good reason).
I like the dungeon finder that was in the game in tbc.
Good that you can admit this, now we are getting somewhere.
So how about an even better version of dungeon finder? Like what we got in wotlk
No I don’t think that’s better.
Ok, then we have different opinion’s but that is ok.
I have tried to convince people but sometimes it is not possible.
I still hope Blizzard wil give use looking for dungeon finder

People dont like the wotlk version for tbc
If I may, you keep on repeating the same thing over and over again when, in fact, that thing almost never happened back then. Maybe you did never play when there was no LFD in the game, so let me explain to you how it was:
It took a bit of time to get a group to go into a dungeon, yes, but from that point on people did not leave the group until the dungeon was completed, even if you had two or three wipes people did not leave. How come? you may ask. Well, the reason is very simple: it would hurt your reputation in the server, meaning that people would put you in your ignore list and recommend their friends to do the same. You would get isolated from the community in your server very quickly.
Now, do you want to know when people started quitting in dungeons for any random reason? When LFD arrived. Why? Because they did not have to face any consequences. That’s when I started seeing tanks who left the dungeon after the first boss because they got what they came for, or people kicking one member of the party because he does 0,2% less DPS and all of the toxicity that the _ucking LFD brought to the game. So maybe you should gather information about the topic before trying to convince anybody about something you clearly ignore.

The thing still stays the same.
People leave dungeons. I can tell you many do not care about a reputation.
Specialy when there is a limit on who you can ignore and if you like to ignore, you are at your max very quick
You always have scum that leave mid dungeons. At least with a dungeon finder a replacement is found in les then a minute. I know from the old wotlk that replacement were always very fast

Did you happen to read what I posted? Some people leave? Maybe, it has not happened to me even once in classic but who knows. Some people do not care for their reputation in the server? I doubt it because, unlike the modern version of the game, you will get literally nowhere in the classic version if you are alone.
But it happened to me a lot in WoD and Legion though, and I mean a lot, not counting that time that I was vote-kicked from the party on my disc priest because, according to the guy who started the vote kick, I was doing DPS instead of healing (nobody had died BTW), one of the guys who clicked yes told me that he did so because he always clicked yes on a vote-kick, and the other one said that he clicked yes because my DPS was “low” not realizing that I was the healer. Yes, that’s how bad it can be. And the reason is very simple: since it is very easy and convenient to find a replacement then it is very easy to start doing sh_t like that.
We are way better without that thing in the game, waaaay better. Leave that crap for the modern version and stop trying to pollute the classic versions.

This is a huge part of Classic; it’s called Social Dynamics. Being in a guild, having a god reputation, having people on your friends list, these things have an actual value in Classic. The better you are at it the less time you will waste for the reasons you describe.
I would even say that it’s the most important part of Classic, the in-between activities you do between the actual dungeon run or raid.
What you call “doing nothing” is the main feature of Classic.

Let me ask you, do you actually play and being honost?
Alot of people simply leave mid dungeons and what not, it happened again yesterday. If you truly believe people give a damn about their so called reputation then you are mistaken.
Wasting time is a huge part of Classic? so i and 4 others can talk about honeybees while wasting time trying to get a replacement?
I like alot of other’s are playing to have some fun. Why do you think blizzard implemented all those QoL changes?
They did it because it was needed. WOTLK was at the best wow ever was. After woltk it went to Blizzards mind when they were catering for the 10 year old kiddies.
Social Dynamics is the main feature in Classic.
Why are you even playing Classic? Retail have faaaar superior PvE and PvP and convenient features. Retail is specifically made for people like you. Classic is made for people like me, why do you want to ruin Classic? You already have everything you ask for in retail, what we don’t have is what we had back then.

So you’re advocating for boosts and retail style dungeon finder?
Why are you so dead set on ruining classic?

Repeating the same thing over and over again doesn’t really change anything. The reasons why bringing a LFD to the classic version is a very bad idea are public and very well known not only by the community but by the developers as well. They even talked about it during the Blizzconline when classic TBC was presented. You are free to keep insisting as much as you want, of course. It will not change anything though, no matter how much you insist.

Even if you would like that, this such a big dealbreaker for so many players, that even wow tokens would be less unpopular.

Define “Dungeon Finder”.
The completely automated tool from retail, which also teleports you to/from dungeons, and hands out bonus gear/gold/xp on top of it? Never going to happen in Classic TBC.
A Dungeon-Finder interface akin to the one used to put together mythic+ groups in retail, essentially a digital billboard, where people post their runs and are informed when someone is interested in joining? Sure, why not, beats the hell outta /LFG spam.

I was thinking the auto group finder.
But with so much hate on this topic i decided for me a lfg list/board is also good. Spamming lfg is just bad.
Again, nothing against a digital billboard. I know, piling hate on retail is en vogue but I have no problem admitting that I liked the groupbuilding interface, it was a great addition to the game.
An auto builder is just a no-no. LFD & LFR are two of the most critizised features of retail for a reason.
LFG tool will be in tbc one way or another, it will be just either a clunky original tbc LFG, which can be used but pretty annoying, or current retail version of it.
I believe Blizz developers will just add retail UI because even if they don’t do that addon creators will do it anyway. Because this type of look for group panel is very simple and only requires two things in WOW servers: add group, remove group, and list groups, and that is true for both TBC UI and retail UI. So, even if there is only TBC UI addon creators could transform the UI into retail UI, the only difference is that behind the wells this addon UI probably will ask the server to get all groups and then the addon will filter groups the player wants instead of having the server filter the groups the player wants, so it is better for Blizzard themselves include that better UI so there is no additional overload in the system by addons.
