I like the changes to the LFG interface, but I really wish they would let people to just go into LFG mode and not specifiy what instance they are looking for. Or in the least allow us to select ANY Heroic or ANY Regular.
Lets face it when I am PUGing I really don't much care what instance I do, Im just there for badges and a slight chance at loot.
I like that they've lowered the lvl requirement for Duel specs to 40 but how many peeps either have 1000g at lvl40 or is willing to waste that much gold on a low lvl alt?
Wow, so they took some of the best UI mods, and also ripped off Runes of magic. Go go blizzard! You will be assimilated!
I am sure thies additions will be much appreciated.

I'm sorry but you've got it the wrong way around.
It blizzard given in the community what they want... nowt wrong with that. I dont get the RoM point as Ive not played it
I believe this idea comes from WAR online
Battleground Queue From Anywhere
Players will now be able to queue for Battlegrounds from anywhere in the world via the Battleground tab in the PvP section of the interface. Once the match is complete, players will be returned to the location where they entered it from.
Queue for any available Battleground from anywhere in the world.
Players must be out of combat in order to enter the Battleground.
Automatically return to the location you left when the Battleground ends.
It is very welcome though, at least for me, i love BG's but hate having to be in a city to join, ( or outside the BG itself )
Happy hunting
Yes. There should be an option for both normal and heroic that reads "Any" or somesuch, and is simply included in the list oof the available dungeons. You could then be found by someone looking for more for anything around your level. It would work fine, it would be easy to code, and it would make the lives of most players who PUG much easier. I see no reason at all not to do this.
Good idea, Slackerboy.
"There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."
John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman
Yes it is and it's a brilliant feature in WAR, I've absolutely no hang-ups with MMO's taking good ideas and implementing them into their own game at all, the more the merrier I say.
Plus kudos should go out to those ppl who had the ingenuity and forethought to produce addons that filled a need, Blizzard should be aknowledging these ppl when they use their addons within any new features.
Cracks me up when someone claims that Blizzard has ripped something off one of these newer titles like Runes of Magic. Earth to poster, Wow players have been advocating changes like this for eons. More likely Runes of Magic has read the multiple threads on the Wow boards and encorporated the feature from there then the other way around.

I didn't say this was a bad thing, this is what blizzard does, waits for another game to do something, looks at it, and assimilate it. I believe its been their code of conduct from day one.

Queue in a bg from anywhere!! At last I've been waiting for that for a long time, and yes even b4 Warhammer came out!! 3.1.0 FTW!! blizz just needs to nerf a few classes and everything will be gewd.
LOL....World of BorgCraft.
I don't understand peoples' obsession with Blizzard "ripping off" features from other MMOs.
We live in a world that is constantly adapting and evolving. Let's take cars for example. Isn't it amazing how over the years car companies h ave implemented very similar/exactly the same features as each other without moaning? When a new technology is developed, it would be stupid for a rival not to use it. If people were stuck in such a mentality one brand of car would have managed to get the upper hand technology-wise and we'd have no choice at all.
In all my life of message board reading I have never seen a more clear case of the pot calling the kettle black...
Amazing.
Folks need to realize these changes take time. Much of this stuff has probably been on the burner for ages now. Saying that one game "stole" [or ripped-off] something from another is silly. They aren't reinventing the wheel here, people. Ooh, sign up for BGs from anywhere! Only someone in WAR could have thought that one up! [As if people on the boards haven't been asking for this stuff publicly!] Coming up with the ideas isn't hard. It's implementing them without bringing down the whole system like a house of cards. That's the challenge. Plus, some of these workers may want to do things like see their families and sleep, sometimes. So yeah, stuff takes time. Patience really is a virtue. Not religion, just a fact.
