We do want to provide some options for group leaders to put some restrictions for who can and can't request to join their group. Official Community > General Discussion forum (US). Of course, you're more than welcome to share that information yourself with players you meet, and make new friends! The 6.0 Group Finder will not rely on BattleTags or RealID to form groups, no. We just think that cross-realm group finding should really be part of the core game. We're not trying to 'kill oQueue' in fact, a lot of us use it ourselves. We've been thrilled to see how people have taken to oQueue for finding organized groups, especially in 5.4, and feel that's the sort of thing that the game really should be providing to all players. It also won't be hidden away someplace that the majority of the playerbase won't notice - it's gonna be a lot more front-and-center.Ī lot of players are drawing parallels between our new Group Finder and the oQueue addon, and that's a perfectly valid comparison. heck, you could start a group for running laps in Dalaran if you wanted. It'll allow you to find or create groups for basically any content you can think of, be it raids, dungeons, PvP, questing. Basically, we discovered that we could pretty easily add cross-realm browsing to the Raid Browser for 5.4 content, so we've done that in 5.4.2.Ħ.0's Group Finder is an entirely different thing being built from scratch. This is totally unrelated to the new Group Finder we announced at Blizzcon. One is the cross-realm functionality being added to our existing Raid Browser in patch 5.4.2. There are two completely separate developments going on here. Since we're still seeing some confusion about the Group Finder, let me try to clear up what I can:
