I'm also positive this is the reason you think "nobody does raids". The old .raid finder we had was announcing in chat for everyone when a raid was looking for members.
I'm currently trying to decide if:
- I add chat announces for the Premade Group Finder ("Player X started a premade group for XXX")
- I re-implement the old freakz .raid finder. But if we do that we'll have both .raid finder and premade group finder... which might make things worse

Thoughts?

The raid finder is definitely a + as for the premade group finder if we talk about dungeon I think it might get flooded at peak hours. You get 5 10 premades looking for people for different keys, that might be to much to be shown on announcer.

I'm also for the old raid announce system, but also leaving the new one in. Imagine the spam from the announcer each time a player creates a group, for every little reason, or for trolling. Example: X has created a group for HITLER RULES.

If the first option can be tweaked to avoid dumb/troll/flood announces like Saturn said it could be good. Or it could be just an automatic message that appears in the same manner as the dungeon finder for level chars.

For exemple :

There is 14 premade groups currently forming (6 Dungeon, 4 Raid - Legion, 2 Custom, 1 Raid - Legacy, 1 Questing). Type .lfg or press "i" to join a premade group or start one.

edit : 6 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 13. fixed.

I thought the old raid finder on mop was very helpful with the announcements. if there was a way we could turn the chat announcements on when we wanted a group, then turn them off when we don't, that might be helpful.

Dave15 you wrote my thoughts. Enable the old raid finder and give the option to turn the announcer off; this way we make everyone happy.

I want to ensure you that every ban is always followed by a proper reason. If you wake up in a situation where your account is banned, feel free to make a proper post under Unban Request.

Keep in mind this:

The biggest issue its mythic rewarding almost the same as a raid.


Only for now, we have 7.1.5 Nighthold patch (905+ ilvl) and we started with Emerald Nightmare 7.0.1 patch (880+ ilvl, close to m+12 limit). Things will get back to normal once we release more appropriate content.

I like magnus06's idea. We should announce formed groups and when you press .lfg or whatever, the Find Group (i) window should pop-up. This way we are still using blizzard's interface but make players more aware of it.

I'm not sure but i would love to see if someone started a premade group , i kinda disliked the old raidfinder system (MoP one)

Better put a notice on it that people see ah there's a premade group for it - so its 'more legion like' -

announcements for premade groups could get very hectic at peak times id suggest either no announcements on premade groups or the ability to disable them but maybe announce for lfr groups that have been waiting for longer than say 5-15 mins also with the abilty to disable the announcements if said person desires

I think the way the system works right now is fine. I've been able to do mythics, raids, etc without too much trouble, and lots of people did also; especially on Thursdays nights, there are easily over 20+ groups searching for people.
