And the silent majority is happy that Blizzzard sees through their bluff: hence why they have not added RDF even after MULTIPLE surveys about it, the RDF kills socialization and allows toxic players and ninjas to roam free. Not worth treatment if the cure is worse than the disease.
Perhaps with Cata Classic, RDF will be added or in the event of a “SoM 3.0”.
Also to all you DPS who think RDF will “help you do more dungeons”:
Most of the classic population quit Retail in the past because of bad features like RDF, so there’s no need to repeat mistakes of the past.
Got to love people that assume they are the majority and so correct, never claim that because as has been said many, many times over by Bliz themselves normally people are wrong.
And it doesn’t put the rest of your post in a good light, people ignore it
Rdf is bad. Only issue with the current lfg system is people are lazy and want to mindlessly quwu for dungeons and take all the loot for themself while ignoring the rest of the group.
I’d welcome an argument. Unforutnately nobody can give one other than “LfG iS bAd, RDF is GuD”.
Its about convenience at least for me and many I have seen.
IE levelling a healer right now up through dark shore, there is no way I am going to get into a dungeon that’s literally all the way across the world and then travel the same distance back, sure I could choose to level closer to the dungeons but why should I have to make that choice.
So for my part there is one less healer in the levelling dungeons, adding to the time to find one.
Also consider RFC if I am a NELF what to do RFC how am I supposed to at its proper level? also how are horde lowbies supposed to get to stocks?
With the dungeon find that would not be an issue.
I could queue up, do my dungeon run, and finish right back at my questing spot and carry on, rather than spending what10-15 mins going to the dungeon, then waiting while the others realise they are not getting a summon unless someone else is there, then spending 10-15 mins to get back to where I was, you cannot even fly from moonglade unless you know the flightpaths in between.
and all that time how much immersion you think I am getting while being frustrated by the situation, and I did a similar run yesterday for a druid quest, I saw one person on the boat that never even acknowledged my MOW buff I gave them, and no one on the roads that wasn’t busy doing something, so there was no socialisation.
This is my main argument and concern, BUT second to this, we were told we were getting the original Wrath, we are not. And you cannot argue truthfully that we are.
I still believe that the current system is fine. Traveling is part of the wow experience, even if it takes you minutes and close to an hour out of your way. I know this is an unrealistic standard these days, but it’s part of what makes classic classic.
Yea we did. I quit directly after downing the Lich king and never stepped foot in RS. Than came back for cata and seen more of the same. It wasn’t the same game anymore after RDF. It went from being EQ/DAOC with better systems to being CoD or Halo the RPG
The vocal minority crying against RDF despite it not affecting their gameplay, because at end of the day they can still form groups for heroics with people who want 1 person per armor group for gear or quick chain runs.
It’s benign either way. If you’re a raider, you likely are only doing Dungeons for rep and if you feel that is the reason your gameplay is affected… your focus is a bit disconnected.
Sure for the start of wrath it makes sense to go in the traditional way while farming pre-raid BiS. Outside of that, your gameplay isn’t affected much either way.
This isn’t LFR, which I would argue is super detrimental to the game. It’s dungeon finder… once you’ve farmed your Pre-raid BiS or Rep grinds with the tabards, why would it affect your gameplay? Prehaps for your alts? Doesn’t affect BG/Arena players.
pretty sure your wrong, go into any server and people are raging about it still, people are pissed, pretty sure you anti rdf trolls are a minority, a very vocal, very toxic minorty
The servers I am on (Faerlina Horde, Benedicttion Ally) every day trade chat, people say they think RDF would been way worse and appreciate Blizzard’s new LFG system.
Don’t call something trolling just because you don’t like it.
I would argue that this is part of the Vanilla WoW experience but not necessarily part of the Wrath experience. By Wrath, leveling and dungeons simply aren’t meant to be the timesinks they used to be, giving us more time to experience new places, new content, new dailies, so on and so forth.
yea I’m gonna call you a liar now, but you trolls don’t care, and yes your nothing but a low effort troll, you contribute as much value to this discussion as Russian Ruble.
