This seems to have been broken in 8.1. Any plans to fix it, if it's even possible?

I find lfg addon intrusive (took over my regular LFG interface last I used it with no apparent way to turn that off) and it has about 15 functions that doesn't interest me.

Blame blizzard. Their UI is fucking easily bugged and taints unless you disable it at all. Even this premadeautoaccept addon is written in a tainted way. Not even considering you would also need to deal with conflict with WQ add-ons etc.

Requires a code change. Not sure what said code change is.

Compare version 8.2 with 8.3 of WQL and you'll figure it out. Post here if you figure out what changed. WQL is nice for auto-accepting quests, but I use this to get Auto-Accept enabled in other categories than just Questing.

Things never really worked out tbh since Blizzard's UI is never designed to allow other addons to modify them. Especially in BFA blizzard does not allow add-ons (even their own UI) to set titles/descriptions or voicechat info for LFG. I found out a method to achieve this on beta servers by took the title/description/voicechat bar away from Blizzard's premade groups UI and now every addons copied my idea. That is already pretty bad. If you are using any LFG addons without breaking the blizzard's UI, what they would do is always to set the title/description/voicechat bar back before you open the UI of premade groups and it doubles the risks of tainting.

Auto-accepting isn't good without restrictions since it allows the hoopers to exploit them. WQL is now too annoying for doing WQs compared to LFG as well. LFG does not even need you to input 5 digits and invites nearby players automatically. The 5 digit questid method was created by me in the beta server as well and now I would say it was a mistake.

TLDR, if you don't disable Blizzard's UI when you are using other addons for doing similar things, you will always encounter your infinite conflicts, errors, and taints and even performance lost(since 3rd party addons could actually do a better job than Blizzard's UI). That is also why addons like compactraid actually bring no advantages compared to grid2, craidframe. LFG was neither the first nor the only addon to break blizzard's premade groups UI, meetingstone addon(which is popular in China and created by netease) did the same thing.

I'm with you on that, I just mean it's possible to get this addon working again. This and WQL both functioned similarly I think, in that they did a decline and invite the person to simulate auto accept. Something changed with the patch, and the version 8.3 of WQL changed something from 8.2 to get it working again. Only thing is, WQL only works for the groups it has created in the Questing Category and not all the other categories.

I tried poking around to see if I could fix Premade Auto Accept since there's not too much code in this but I couldn't figure it out. It should be possible though. It's annoying that they broke it but it's still possible to do the "decline and invite" thing"

let's face it. most lfg-type addons just die with time. WoW sucks and a lot of addon authors quit. Serverhop, Cross Realm Assist, Premade Filter, WQGF, noobblocker, and this addon. Now Blizzard does not even allow us to filter spamming (since bots and spammers are blizzard's largest sub base.). My guess is that LFG-type addons are a huge threat towards spammers who are the largest source of Blizzard's income by using excuses to break WQGF, auto-accept etc.

If you do need auto-accept, you can just use my LFG addon. At least it will make everything work coherently.

It looks like the similar functionality that was available in other World Quest addons was also disabled so I'm guessing it's dead for good until someone gets creative.

Rather big late in this reply but I was researching why "premade group finder" addon wasn't working for me even though I knew about the changes in BFA pre-patch. It appears that blizzard did a change with their api with 8.1 or around its release that prevents preconfigured terms from searching. Yes I know that addons weren't allowed to search but that addon was capable of automatically finding your term the moment you opened/refreshed the group listings in the blizzard UI.

I am not versed in lua, but per your recommendation I was tracking code changes between the 8.2 and 8.3 versions of WQL.

Not my code and I am only pointing out this out as an example!

From one line of 8.2:
"active, activityID, ilvl, honorLevel, name, comment, voiceChat, duration, autoAccept, privateGroup, lfg_questID" Most of that line got changed into just "data".

Excluding the version change in the lua and the commit notes, there were 7 changes throughout the lua. Apparently the premise of the api change probably boils down to addons only being able to use something called Data. Cause I see it now littered everywhere in the 7 spots of code change. Maybe this is some additional protection done by blizzard, beyond preventing addons from being able to utilize the search fields? They can only use what game provides, rather than trolling from what they want to find?

Overall a real sad change, and I am saddened to finally see at least on my end how an addon dev managed to retain functionality amid Blizzard's rampant undocumented api changes.

Fairly minor issue as it basically never comes up: you need to throttle the rate this addon sends out invites. I used it for the World Boss in Arathi and got booted off the server it was spamming so many players with invites.

It's only for quests that Blizzard specifically marks as "elite" and requiring 3+ players to defeat... and only if you click the "eye" box in the quest tracker on the right of your screen under the minimap.

For people complaining about this not working for sharing raid lockouts with alts, guess what? I am pretty sure it's "working as intended". This addon never claims to do that anyway and there's a reason why Blizzard broke that ingame function to begin with.

Unfortunately this doesn't work with sharing raid lockouts with alts, which is the only reason I really miss autoaccept.
