Group Finder now asks for a playstyle
New beta group listings offer Learning, Relaxed, Competitive and Carry Offered. Blizzard has not defined the labels.
Description
In build 1.60.1.70170, Group Finder asks for a before posting a listing. Warcraft Tavern shows four options: Learning, Relaxed, Competitive and Carry Offered. A Blizzard forum thread and a player screenshot in r/wowforever independently show the choice. Blizzard has not published definitions or matching rules.
Effect
The label helps show expectations before a dungeon run. It does not change difficulty or guarantee that every player reads it the same way.
How to reproduce it
- Open Group Finder and start a listing for the dungeon you want.
- Pick one of the four options. If pace or goals matter, add a short description.
- Before joining another group, read its label and description. Ask the leader what Carry Offered means if it is unclear.
