How to find friends in game?

I started playing again after a while and I am finally somehow enjoying myself. There is a lot of content to do and it can be like story, lore oriented or dungeons/alts etc… how do I get buddies?

  1. Find a guild as a social and slowly work your way up finding buddies in the guild
  2. Use forum “looking for players - PVE”, there are people looking for friends

Don’t expect to find buddies in the game while doing dungeons/etc., everyone just go in, kill stuff and leave.

I would suggest just going to wowprogress, go to your realm guilds and just go through the guilds who has active raiding+social events in their description. Just look through guilds that killed several mythic bosses, and just apply as a social. Be nice and people will like you :slight_smile: just don’t expect to be everyones friend the moment you join, it might take several weeks or months to find real buddies :slight_smile:

Press J and scroll down the left until you see the find community tab, click it then use the search filter to find a community that is based around any content you want to do. Some of them are a bit dead, but there’s some still very active.

You can also try the communities recruitment forum:

Don’t be discouraged that many are older posts; it doesn’t mean the community is dead, it means they don’t have anything else to say on their recruitment thread :joy_cat:

Pay people gold to play with me? :thinking:🥲. :woman_judge:t3:. :cry:.

In 2005 I just undressed my nelf and started dancing. Groupies followed soon. Free gold too btw.

It’s a big thing in wow now to pay people to play with/for you. I think that other post was meant as a joke TBH.

Yeah well I use these services sometimes. It’s been a long time since I met someone questing who would approach me and be friendly too. Everyone is min/maxing these days. :see_no_evil::see_no_evil:.

Good question, because in m+ most of the time noone even says “hi”.

Random bgs? Lol…

Join a guild? Yea I guess, but I feel like most guilds just want you to join to keep the cash flowing into their gbank, and you actually gotta spend months in the guild before people get friendly. I also can’t raid rn so that’s that.

But actually met couple dudes to add to my friend list while farming mounts during xmas holidays.

For the most part human interactions I get end up being insults in random BGs.

I found it very difficult to make friends on game- when I came back for Legion after quitting early WoD, I saw a /w for this guild. After looking them up a bit, I server changed and been there since as a social member.
But I did make a few friends in WoD, only one of which is still playing, the rest of my bnet is made up of RL friends and a couple from these forums

I’ll do that. :thinking::dancer::grin::grin:.

Thanks to this thread I now know what guild recruitment posts mean with ‘socials welcome’!

yes it has got a bit out of hand. it sells more tokens for them. I seen a previous poster suggested a community. They are right. Hopefully you get sorted because this game played alone isn’t very good.

It’s a weird problem here we solos have. Game bad without a group but the stuff we want to do we will never get a group for. This is the wall that turns away most new/returning players.
