The last bit is what killed world of Warcraft for me. When it changed from a world with the same people in it everytime, to automated group finders combining every possible world anyone could be in.

Not only will you never see those people again, for a while it was literally impossible to talk to them or friend them.

When they put out classic wow again, they updated it to have all these "new quality of life" features.

Thank god for private servers.

There's some rose-tinted goblin welding goggles there.

Pugs for 5-mans used to be a huge pain in the ass. Especially for lower-level dungeons or for DPS classes (and especially the boomkins, the fury warriors, and the ret pallys).

Remember spamming city chat, LFG BFD?

And if you were a warlock, you were expected to run all the way there (remember not getting mounts until 40?), and wait for two other people, so you could summon the last two?

I haven't really played much since TBC, or at all since LK. LFG was a huge improvement. It had flaws, for sure...it did break the community a bit, as you said...but it made the game playable for people who didn't have hours to commit to getting ready for a 5 man dungeon.

Yup and if you were on a low pop server or mature one with not many leveling. Forget doing dungeons at all.

DF and RF have their issues but it wasn't all fun before.

As a feral who needed random blues, I spent days trying to get groups for less popular dungeons, just to have the item not drop or get ninja'd
