Dungeon Finder ruined the game. However, adding in the LFG feature to speed up to process of gathering group or group events or PUG finding for raids would be appreciated.
LFG Chat channel is terrible some days

In keeping with the spirit of embracing #SomeChanges, The Burning Crusade Classic production director Patrick Dawson stated that the team was currently discussing the inclusion of modern conveniences, using elements from the retail group finder instead of the original Looking for Group Interface Tool introduced in patch 2.0.1. of The Burning Crusade. 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, as the original was very seldom used and they are still interested in hearing player feedback. You can listen to the entire topic discussed during the Warcraft Cooking Show at the timestamp below.
Personally Iâm okay with that if itâs not teleporting or making the groups, it sounds more like a listing tool. I really didnât find any charm in spamming a channel or multiple channels to form groups.

To be fair, technically what you do "in game"between raids is to not play the game because you need to save those WBs. The holy Meta demands it 
At best you play alts or heng out on discord which is not even wow.
IMHO the player pool that you have now is rather different from the one you had 15 years ago, age and experience wise.
In particular, in my experience, many players of classic are older people -like me- withe wife and children, something that many of them (us) didnât have 15 years ago.
These are factors that should be taken into account. In my case, for instance, I would love a more modern LFG that allows for quick daily which are quite important if you want to get some reasonable equip for pre-mid raid.
Otherwise, you would end up marginalizing player with less time but a lot of passion.
Just my two cents

A version of LFD where
It is only within same realm, DO NOT TELEPORT to dungeon and is just only finding ppl without constant spam on LFG than i am 100% pro for it

Teleporting wouldnÂșt be crucial but group creation within the same server would be nice.
So because you donât have much time, you want Classic changed to accommodate you.
Automation is bad for the social cohesion of the server, period.
I want all of you to stop trying to turn Classic into something it wasnât.
If a lobby game is all you have time for, there is retail.

Sadly this is not what I said.
The forum creates a distortion of your community perception. Who posts are usually the most active players that would not feel this problem.
From my in-game experience I believe that the lack of time is a shared problem of many players.
I just shared what I would like, it doesnât mean that I need to be accomodate. In a community with thousands of players I am rather sure that not everybody will end up happy. I can only hope that it wonÂșt be me
You can be patient and wait WOTLK with the LFG.
If iâm bad at aiming = i avoid FPS
Bad at micro-gestion = i avoid RTS
MMORPG are time consuming even if they are trying to reduce that. But it lead to a bad players retention. (Ex retail lost 41% of it playerbase in few months)
If you donât have time to play time consuming games = either donât play or take the time you need to play them. No offense here.

No offense at all, I just have a different perspective and expectations.
Personally, if I am bad at aiming but I really like it, I would look for tools to improve my aim.
So look for a guild with like-minded people to run dungeons with and avoid randoms???
You donât need to implement features that wasnât in the game.

I was responding to OP and the thread in general, not you alone.
Just to clarify⊠are you talking about aimbots?
Yes, youâll invest time/effort into it.
But you wonât ask for an integrated âoptionnalâ aimbot/aim-assist, right ?
Îll players have life outside Azeroth and Outland. And still they come to play in WoW Universe for some reason. Maybe we all miss something in our real life.
Also, there are people, that try to ruin our real lives and people that try to ruin out fantasy world.
I just donât understand, why people who obviously enjoy the spirit of Retail, play Classic and TBCC. And why they have to point a finger at those who donât like Retail, and enjoy Classic in its current form?
? what people hated LFG and thatâs why they wanted back classic cause there was not automatic group finder system so you need to find group by talking to people and you came here sayin this nonsence 
That is a change I would be completely ok with as well.
Itâs nowhere near the completely game-disrupting LFD system introduced in wrath (which allowed people to essentially level characters w.o. ever leaving the city, and no social interaction whatsoever).
Essentially, itâs just a wrapup of the LFG spam in chat.

I will use the tools that the game provides me with. Same as we do with macros or any other shortcut.
I was not good at using the kewyboard, then I bought a mouse with a lateral keyboard.
but guys, chill. many of you talk as if this was âyour experienceâ and as if your expectations were more legitimate than mine. There are thousands of players with thousands of expectations and all we do in a forum is expressing opinion or preferences.
Personally, I love WOW and I like the experience I have had so far with classic. Nevertheless, Iâd welcome changes that in MY opinion would improve MY experience. That is it.
Enjoy
See, hereâs the thing people like you donât know.
There was in fact a Dungeon Finder in TBC, however no one used it. No one used it because it would pair you with 5 DPS and no healers or tanks and it wouldnât teleport you.
What is the harm in adding it back in with the retail architecture of Tank, Healer and DPS required, but without teleporting you. Nothing.
Making it cross realm so we donât have to wait ages for a group wouldnât do ya any harm either and then just teleport us in to an xrealm layer you leave the minute you leave the group. Itâs that simple.
Their idea that you get a âsocialâ aspect behind not having proper dungeon finders is as horrid as itâs ever been, itâs always just been a chore, itâs never brought about the social relationships they talk about⊠Heck since the introduction of the proper dungeon finder from Lich King onwards I have found more people through that making friendships, than I ever did spamming an LFG channel.
