Topic	Are you going to play WoW classic?

No one should have a problem with the raid finder because it either helps you or you ignore it. Do you really believe that it's impossible to think something had good and bad consequences without being a person that hates casuals and thinks everything should be catered to them? Is that the only possible outcome? You are just wrong about this "it's optional and you just keep playing the way you were' thought process though. If something has a big impact on the game, it doesn't just change it for whoever chooses to use it - it's a giant ecosystem and every system works with eachother. Like here's a current example with classic: some people have made an addon that you can post you are looking for group and it will communicate with everyone else that has the addon. So you can just post "Holy priest looking for group' and everyone that needs a healer will get that message and you can just immediately form a group. This is essentially making a circumspect group finderthrough whispers, and it was actually possible during vanilla, it was just no addon developers came up with it. This undoes one of the benefits people see in vanilla which was that you had to find group members by advertising in trade chat or join a guild or make friends or whatever. Many people argued that if you don't want to use it and change your experience, then just don't use the addon. This is wrong. It's just not true. Blizzard came out and said this directly - once it's out there in the wild, it still affects you. Other players will be using it, and you won't be able to find a group. It changes the entire environment whether you want to use it or not. So Blizzard is disabling this addon and others like it. I never actually said the raid finder was a bad thing by itself though. My entire argument is that many changes that caused individual improvements have added together to change Retail into an experience that a lot of fans of WoW are not looking for. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:926550484] in Are you go...
