You choose one of four options: Learning, Relaxed, Competitive, or Carry Offered. Any of the four unlocks the queue, so the real decision is what you want the group you advertise to expect from you.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-four-playstyle-options\">The four Playstyle options<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Playstyle<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What it signals<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Learning<\/strong><\/td><td>A slower run, advertised to newer players<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Relaxed<\/strong><\/td><td>A slower run, advertised to newer players<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Competitive<\/strong><\/td><td>A more serious group<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Carry Offered<\/strong><\/td><td>You are offering to carry the run<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p>Learning and Relaxed are the two slower, newbie-friendly tags, and both are framed as good ways to advertise runs to newer players. Competitive sits at the opposite end, aimed at players who want a more serious group.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-competitive-is-an-odd-fit-right-now\">Why Competitive is an odd fit right now<\/h2>\n<p>Competitive is the tag that reads strangely in the current game, because there is no competition for dungeons in WoW Forever as of now. The tag may end up fitting raids better, where teams chasing speed runs or speed kills need to fill a slot.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-carry-offered-means\">What Carry Offered means<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Carry Offered<\/strong> is the option at the bottom of the list, and it is the controversial one. Offering a carry in a dungeon or raid typically comes at a price, which can push those groups toward territory that goes against Blizzard&#39;s own Terms of Service. <strong>GDKPs are currently banned<\/strong> in WoW Forever, a rule that was implemented in Season of Discovery in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"which-one-should-you-pick\">Which one should you pick?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are new or want a patient run, Learning or Relaxed matches that. If you want a focused group, Competitive is the serious tag. Carry Offered is the one to <strong>think twice about<\/strong>, given the ban on GDKPs and the Terms of Service risk around paid carries.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-playstyle-change-your-queue-or-your-role\">Does Playstyle change your queue or your role?<\/h2>\n<p>The Playstyle selection is required before the tool lets you queue for dungeon groups.
