LFG Lookout is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that helps you catch raid listings in the middle of nonstop LFG noise.
On busy clusters, LookingForGroup can move so fast that useful raid posts get buried almost instantly. LFG Lookout watches for raid messages mentioning GDKP, SR, or up to five custom phrases then plays a raid-warning sound, shows an on-screen popup, and prints a quick chat notice so you can react before the listing disappears.
It is built for players who don't want to stare at chat nonstop just to catch a raid.

## Why I Made This
I made LFG Lookout because LFG on my cluster is nonstop noise. Raid listings can fly by while I’m doing something else, and I wanted a simple way to notice the ones I actually care about without needing to watch chat every second.
