Enable Summoning Stones

I was going to do Deadmines the other day, and naturally went to summon the last player we needed that was in SW, but the stone did not work. I know they got enabled in patch 1.3, but I would still love if it was possible to actually use them. Am I an idiot for thinking this? What do you guys think?

MEETING stones were added in 1.3. They did not add summoning function until TBC.

Summoning Stones is TBC and NOT Vanilla.

Meeting Stones in Vanilla was used as Looking For Group Tool.

Meeting Stones

Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players find a group to adventure with in the dungeon. The meeting stone will try to find you a viable five-person group by looking for a tank, a healer, and so on. As time passes and you are unable to find a group, the meeting stone will become less picky about who it groups you with.

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_1.5.0

-Meeting Stones have had their rules for what players are grouped with what other players relaxed. This means groups who use meeting stones (or innkeepers) should have their groups formed much more quickly than they were previously.

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_1.7.0

-Meeting Stones

.A number of miscellaneous improvements have been made that should allow for better group forming when using the meeting stones.
.You will no longer be kicked from the meeting stone queue when a player declines a group invite or when inviting someone that is already in a group.
.You will now be informed that you have left the meeting stone queue when the group leader logs out.
.Tanks and Healers will now be immediately added to the group by the meeting stone when they are the 5th member of the group.
.You can now be added to a group by the meeting stone when that group contains characters that have disconnected.

I'd like to see correctly working Meeting Stones added. Failing that, we could convert them into a place where we cud snackrifice taurens. Meating Stones.

What I meant with my post is to just enable Meeting stones to work in the way it did in retail, to summon the last few people to the dungeon. Sorry if there was any missunderstandings.

Not going to happen, cause they didn't summon people on Vanilla retail.

However +1 to have them work like they did during Vanilla retail, with the crappy queue system and all.

I don't know if you read smilkovpetko's post or not, but this will never happen because this is a vanilla server.

Alright point taken. ( For me personally, though, it would be a great quality of life thing, even though it was a TBC feature )

It's yet another "feature" which meant less wpvp. Vanilla isn't about "quality of life thing".
