World Quest Group Finder
Last Updated: Aug 31, 2017 Game Version: 7.3.0
World Quest Group Finder is an addon designed to find or create groups for world quests with a single click
Enjoying World Quest Group Finder? Your donation would be appreciated to support the addon's development. Thank you!
Most world quests can be completed very quickly when in a group. A lot of players are probably doing the same world quest as you at the same time, but on other servers. Creating a group every time you start a world quest would take too much time, and looking for one is annoying too. World Quest Group Finder was created to make this process automatic!
By simply clicking on a world quest in the objective tracker, or entering a world quest's area, World Quest Group Finder will try to find groups of users doing that world quest at the same time. If no other group is available, it will automatically create your own, so that other players using the addon can join it automatically, or even players without the addon, as the created group will have all the required information indicating what world quest you are currently doing.
As the userbase of World Quest Group Finder will grow, it will become easier to find groups, so if you enjoy this addon please let your friends know about it!
Never do your world quests alone again!
Note : this description is severely outdated.
How to use
There are three ways to start using World Quest Group Finder:
- Clicking on a world quest in the objective tracker (middle or right button)
- Clicking on a world quest on the world map (middle mouse button)
- Entering a world quest area and selecting to search for a group when prompted.
Things to know
- World Quest Group Finder searches the group finder tool for groups doing the requested world quest (only groups created by the addon are eligible)
- If no existing groups are found, a new one is created by the player.
- If groups are found, the user is automatically applied to each of them. If no response is given after 45 seconds, the search restarts, ignoring the previously applied groups. In most cases this will result to a new group being created by the player.
- Cancelling an apply or declining an invitation to a group will prevent the user from being applied to this group again. It is possible to clear the blacklisted groups by typing "/wqgf unbl".
- If the player is the group leader, the default behavior is to automatically invite every appliants, prioritizing World Quest Group Finder users.
- Note : By default, the auto invite is done through a custom function to avoid the group being flagged as auto-inviting, which would make it spammed by realm hoppers.
- The world quest the player is currently grouped for is pinned to the objective tracker, and surrounded by a golden frame.
- For obvious reasons, you cannot use this addon for Dungeon, pet battle and profession world quests.
- World Quest Group Finder won't try to find or create a group while queued for a dungeon, raid or battleground.
Addon configuration
World Quest Group Finder configuration panel can be accessed from the Addon configuration page ("Interface => Addons => WorldQuestGroupFinder")
- Auto-invite: configure how the addon handles auto inviting (Disabled, auto-invite WQGF users, auto-invite everyone, use WoW's default auto-invite mode). By default, the addon is inviting everyone to the group. WoW's default auto-invite mode is not used to avoid realm hoppers.
- World quest end dialog: choose whether you want the addon to offer to leave the group after a world quest is done. This is enabled by default.
- Party notification: the addon will notify the group when you have finished the world quest. This is enabled by default
- New world quest zone detection: when enabled, this feature shows a dialog when entering a world quest area for the first time of the play session, proposing to search for a group. It is also possible to choose to automatically search or create a group when entering a world quest zone (when not currently grouped). By default, the dialog is set to show when entering a new zone and not currently doing another World Quest. Automatic search is disabled.
- Auto-accept group invites: when enabled, you will automatically accept invitations to groups you have applied with WQGF. 1 less click to do!

Posted Sep 27, 2017Crazy amounts of people are signing up for WQ groups to check if a rare or chest is up on your server and it's really irritating, could something be done to prevent people from joining if they're not in the quest area.

Posted Sep 22, 2017Feature suggestion: right clicking a target should have a menu option to start a group for it. Would be really helpful for Argus rares, and I see some groups being created that way with World Quest Tracker but I'm not making the switch yet.

Posted Sep 21, 2017The addon is forcing groups started from the broken shore world boss quests to switch to party, which is entirely wrong for a world boss obviously. Converting to raid after starting immediately switches back to party, kicking anyone signed up from the queue in the process. It wasn't doing this last time the broken shore had a world boss like 10 days ago. If this change was intentional could you please revert it? It's hard enough with blizzard automatically delisting the groups when they hit 5 without the addon doing this.

Posted Sep 21, 2017when you select filter order resources to not show or missions the total shows as 0 in the total artifact power bar even if with your other filters you still have order resouces missions (from emissary or pvp filter for example) could you make it show the real total?

Posted Sep 20, 2017Can you please add an option to either disable the prompt to relist entirely and never relist a group? Or check that the player isn't in combat when prompting him?
It's extremely inconvenient when the prompt appears and it always seems to pop up at the worst moment in combat.

Posted Sep 20, 2017Firstly, great addon, thankyou for your efforts and awesome work, can't imagine playing and doing world quests without this now.
Sadly, I am now in a position where I have to use the facility to start a new group each time in order to use this as clicking to join a group gives me the following error each time, I have tried disabling all my other addons and the result is the same as shown below with no other addons in use, any help on what the problem might be would be very greatly appreciated.

Posted Sep 11, 2017I think it is. When i was using WQGF to find greater invasion group i could not change party to raid, it was automatically reverting back to party. When i used World Quest Tracker group finder function everything was ok and i manage to make raid group for Greater Invasion automatically. Mabe it's just "premadegroups" blizz restriction for each platform it's trying to put us in (ie questing, dungeons,custom) and the way wqgf is using it for making group for greater invasion point.
Ed. I've checked it today and it's as i thought. WQGF is making group in "questing" category while World Quest Tracker is making group in "custom" category where there is no restrictions in group size.

Posted Sep 3, 2017Would it be possible to add a feature to this addon for a blacklist for it to refuse groups to people you specify.

Posted Aug 23, 2017It appears because the group is being created in questing which may max at 5.
