Level 60 Required to List Groups in the Group Finder

Recommended Posts

h15zYwh.jpg

Your character must now be level 60 to list groups for Mythic+ and raids in the Group Finder.

In an effort to decrease the "WTS Spam" present in the in-game Group Finder, only level 60 characters can now list groups there. The change went live with the latest hotfixes.

Ty Blizzard. Now do something about actual bots

those bastards are actual bots so they at least "try" ~ but i dont think its hard for the bots that already farm max level areas to get a max level bot to sell in group finder lel

This at least increases the pain of banning the bots. Now they need more than just a subscription. They need at least time (or additional money buying a boost). It's something, and doesn't seem like it was too hard to add in from the dev team.

Little steps are better than no steps.

Where there is a will there is a way.  But I am interested as well to see new outcome.

This at least should reduce amount of these advertisements, but there are still groups of bots (multiple druids, haven't seen anything else) farming ore and herbs. These can still use LFG.

All this means is that the WTS will spread to all the other sections of Group Finder instead of being isolated into one/two areas. Sometimes plans like this seem good, until you realize the consequences.

While seeing the WTS in those sections was annoying, after a very simple right-click > report for advertising, they were gone from view. And hopefully being reported to the proper place and dealt with. (lol!)

Now, that disease will just spread through the rest of Group Finder, infesting everywhere else because it isn't level-capped. So, there will be far less reports being sent in and Blizz will feel they did a good job.

Well they've already been paying others in gold to do it for them, so likely they'll just require their patsy to be level 60

I usually see pairs, Tauren druid to herb faster ridden by a Highmountain Tauren to mine faster, so that they don't have to 'waste' money on glove enchants.

Just pairs? That's low, in my case these were mostly 5x druid groups (even killed one group, they were stuck in place for some reason).

I didn't mean to imply that it was just one pair, sometimes it's two pairs with one on auto-follow. 5 druids in my experience has typically been all Tauren, and herb farming only in areas they can fly. Also, you can jack their program up with clickable toys, like the fishing chair, placing it directly on the herb node.

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Blizzard have announced that the item level issues with Timewalking Caches have been fixed and that affected players have received main with the replacement Cache.
      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
