lookingforgroup(lfg)

Table of Contents

LookingForGroup is a highly versatile addon that combines various LFG features into a single, easy-to-use tool. This addon includes a spam filter, premade filter, World Quest Group Finder (WQGF), Cross Realm Assist, and other LFG tools that will enhance your gameplay experience.

Please note that using this addon will replace your entire Blizzard Group Finder UI, including LFD and Raid Finder Queue.

Blizzard's UI lacks customization options, which is why many players turn to addons to enhance their gameplay experience. However, using multiple addons to perform similar functions can bloat the binary size and create unnecessary confusion. LookingForGroup solves this problem by combining all LFG features into a single, efficient addon that shares the same code base and works seamlessly together.

It's essential not to disable the LFG hook and LFG event addons if you're unsure what hooks and events are in WoW. Disabling these addons may cause issues with LookingForGroup, and it's essential to keep them enabled for the addon to work correctly. Additionally, please do not disable the LFG auto addon, which is also crucial for the addon's proper functioning.

You can access the LFG config dialog by typing /lfg or left-clicking on the LFG minimap button. With LookingForGroup, you'll have all the LFG features you need in one place, making it the perfect tool for players who want to streamline their gameplay experience.

HOW TO USE LFG TO CREATE A GROUP?

Random Hop

Remove other AddOns noises

Spam Filter

Invasion Point

Just disable sub-add-on in your addon list if you don't want the particular feature of LFG. For example, you don't want to use LFG for the quest, disable LookingForGroup Quest AddOn in your AddOn list.

Do not worry about the resource usage of this AddOn. The sub-add-ons are all Load On Demand which means they won't load unless you use those features.

Common Q/A:

1. How to disable the LFG minimap icon? Just disable the LFG Icon addon in your addon list.

2. How to disable quest popping up automatically?

Or leave the quest range, and LFG will close the pop-up.

3. Where is my title bar in the premade groups UI?

If you're wondering where your title bar is in the premade groups UI, you may have noticed that it's missing since the release of BFA. This is because LFG is designed to replace Blizzard's premade groups entirely, much like custom raid frame add-ons such as grid, grid2, and Healbot did for compact raid addons. Unfortunately, there is limited customization available for Blizzard's UI, so it's best to use LFG to create and search for groups instead.

It's worth noting that LFG does not have a traditional UI in the same way that other premade group add-ons do. Instead, the entire UI is based on AceConfigdialog-3.0 with some dialog control widgets. This approach ensures that LFG is incredibly lightweight and won't consume significant resources on UI, making it the perfect choice for players who want a streamlined LFG experience without sacrificing performance.

disable "settings - spam filter - invite"

The problem is that too many bots are in the orgrimmar and stormwind to invite people to spam.

This addon only wrote very small part of code for classic. The addon has not yet done with classic due to lack of menpower.

Can you add the feature that premade groups filter has, it has boxes min max for tank, heals, and dps, so you can say put 1 min 1 max healer, so that you can only search and join groups that already have a healer? I would definitely donate for this feature alone, since I love everything else, but I can not find this ability to join groups that already have healers.

You just click "role" filter. It will automatically figure it out how many healers or tanks the group requires.

请教下，如果搜索某个队伍，能不能模糊搜索，比如我要搜索沙丘某某（通配符什么的）现货，因为如果光是输入沙丘现货有好多假的团。

Hello, back again. I used your add on back in BFA to chase rares and it worked so well I using again to get Fallen Charger. I am having same problem where creating a group using the quest add on part to make group, I have auto accept checked but it won't invite people. I tried it once and it worked but a 2nd create group it will not accept people.

One other thing, is it possible to only have quest group to only ask to search elite quest requiring 5 or more and a window to see people that are signed up to allow to invite them if add on does not auto invite? Thanks!

Actually there is a toggle to use WQL mode in settings/auto/AddOns.

However, it is super annoying. The protocol was designed poorly. That was my mistake.
