World of Warcraft is also known for horrible LFG tools. This is why there’s a little and useful (for casual players) “exploit” around.

There is the possibility to join Ironforge chat channel (used for LFG by default) from everywhere in the game, without being there physically. To do this you can build two simple macros so that you can join/leave the channel as you like.

The macro to join is:
/script JoinChannelByName(“General – Ironforge”, nil, 1); ChatFrame1.channelList[5]=”General – Ironforge”; ChatFrame1.zoneChannelList[5]=0;

You don’t need to type everything since the game support copy/paste (ctrl+V to paste).

Then you build another macro to leave it:
/leave 5 (the number may change)

Thanks to exploits we can work around the design shortcomings.
