Patch 7.1 adds Quick Join feature

By Matthew Rossi

One of the things that’s more important than ever in Legion is being able to find a group. With Mythics, Mythic+, World Bosses and the coming Karazhan 5-person dungeon with its weekly lockout, if you want to see all the content the expansion has to offer, you need to find a group of like-minded friends.

Patch 7.1 seeks to streamline this process with Quick Join, a new feature. How does it work?

Additionally, friends won’t need to leave their queue to add you and will receive a join request that they can accept or deny for each additional member.

The feature will work with Premade Groups, LFR, LFD, non-rated Battlegrounds and Arenas, and World PvP such as Ashran. I definitely foresee some difficulties with it — some people like to be asked what they’re doing and if they want to come along instead of having the process automated — but if it makes getting Mythics easier for people I’m all for it.
