A vocal minority pushing RDF down our throats

Im good with that. im fine with a catchup phase 2-4 rdf heroics because then it wont change the game for me or force me to do it.

The only time im set against it is phase 1 when im pretty much forced to do the most heroics while getting to S3D

All signs point to never. If you wanna fanfic that RDF is coming don’t lemme stop you, but that’s all it is.

We’ve reached the power fantasy phase of the RDF argument lmao

I’m legit sick of the gaslighting and entitled seething. You’re all so indignant and embarrassing.

What? What the hell are you talking about? I’m saying that Classic fills a niche that is uncovered in the market. Status quo is RDF.

You can literally go play one of the MANY OTHER GAMES that have the feature you’re looking for. That’s Blizzard’s position as well!

They’re leaving this space available for players who dislike modern MMOs.

And blizzard said there was never going to be any classic servers in 2016, remember #Youthinkyoudobutyoudont ? Yet here we are. Funny how wind can’t change direction pretty quick and there’s no way to predict the future. You’re absolutely delusional if you think otherwise.

Say the guy who improvised himself an armchair medium right before writing this very line.

This is but your personal opinion of us. I guarantee some people here think you’re annoying for one or another reason.

Status quo: /ˌstādəs ˈkwō/

noun

  1. the existing state of affairs, especially regarding social or political issues.

“they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo”

Not adding RDF in WoW is status quo. If you fail to get an accurate grasp on some concept, a quick googling will save you the embarassement.

I’ve literally mentioned I’d play regardless. I’m getting tired of having to burn calories on word because you can’t read.

They never said that. That’s your personal interpretation of what they said.

What? Typo?

Yeah the kneejerk in the forum is to call anyone who doesn’t love RDF a troll, so you’re prob right.

No skin off my bones!

LMAO. Yes. In the set of all MMOs on the market, RDF is the status quo. You dork. Reading comprehension. Can’t google that!

Okay then play and stop complaining!

Wrong again bud! Here’s a quote from Classic’s lead dev!

AGAIN

We want players who don’t want it to have a place where they can play without it.

Medium: “an individual held to be a channel of communication between the earthly world and a world of spirits.” In that case, referring to your sell-proclaimed ability to predict the future. And you didn’t answer my point.

Because you think you affect these people more than they affect you?

Wasn’t it clear enough that i meant “The absence of RDF in WoW”, which is what this thread is about. This is the status quo. You brought the part of about the “others MMOs” in your own mind and you’re putting words in my mouth.

Voicing discontent is how we get thing to change. We’re not stopping. Get used to it.

As for the lasting part, you said “That’s Blizzard’s position as well!” right after “You can literally go play one of the MANY OTHER GAMES that have the feature you’re looking for.” is what i meant, not the latest part “They’re leaving this space available for players who dislike modern MMOs.”

No companies will tell their customers to go away. Certainty not the majority of them.

Yeah I know what a medium is, but

doesn’t mean what you think it means. Particularly the use of improvised.

I can’t affect them at all. I don’t have Brian’s ear. Neither do they fortunately!

The status quo in the microcosm of WoW MMOs is also RDF. The only place the absence is the status quo is in Classic, and that’s literally by design. See my Brian quote.

Here is the video where they say RDF isn’t coming https://youtu.be/-ghnZ-7LJQc?t=1451

At 24:49 Ion says,

But today, you can do that in Shadowlands. You’ll be able to do that in Dragonflight.

L M A O I hope you don’t feel TOO BAD

False cognate. I do have the excuse of speaking three language and english is not my first. What’s yours?

You originally replied to my comment, and the context in which that word was used. the existing state of affairs of RDF not being added to wow.. I never brought other MMO into my point. They are therefore irrelevant in this argument. That’s another topic entierly. Avoid all this “gaslighting” as you self-admitted to thoroughly despise just to avoid admitting you didn’t have an accurate definition of what “Status quo” meant.

That’s ONE other game from the same company from which they cash-in the same subscription. Please.

What is it you say? “No skin off my bones!”

Uhhh, I didn’t make a mistake? I don’t need an excuse? Just pointed out that what you wrote didn’t make sense.

I legitimately think you’re misusing ‘status quo’, which is making more sense now that you’ve mentioned . WoW hasn’t had RDF, yes, but that’s hardly because it’s “just how it is”, which is something you’d refer to as status quo. It’s because it’s designed to promote social gameplay, and RDF is antithetical to that, just as they said in the video I linked.

“Status quo” makes sense when referring to MMOs as a whole, but doesn’t make sense when referring to RDF in Classic.

It’s both Shadowlands and Dragonflight? Either way it’s a little pedantic of you to act like their position isn’t “Classic isn’t the place to play with RDF, other games are” when they only promote the alternative they own and stand to benefit from.
The point is very very abundantly clear.

Well man, that’s true! This is pretty low stakes. I’m just glad Blizzard share my perspective here.

It really does feel like a vocal minority keeps blowing up the forums over this issue. Nobody in game is even talking about it everybody is too busy playing.

You’ve show at several times lacking grasp on the concept of “status quo” and “main character syndrome”, despite both being commonly used in your main language.

That is your personal and subjective opinion of RDF. Don’t mix your anecdotal experience and own points of views with a neutral and objective definition as “status quo”. I’ve made plenty of friends during the years even using RDF because I’ve enjoyed playing with these people regardless, and the other way around not using RDF was also true. Your perception of RDF is far from factual, absolute, or universal and you should stop acting like it is.

I’ve said plenty of times how status quo is defined, and it which context it was meant to be used in my argument. Trying to applying to context I didn’t meant to is putting words in my mouth. Just don’t. If you meant to start a separate branch of the argument, I’m not interested in partaking in it.

That’s one game. SL will cease to exist to become DF. I’m also not going back to play retail because they have one feature I’d like and not enjoying the rest. That would be literally stupid. You, of all people, would self-admittedly would leave because of that single change of adding RDF, should understand that.

You said:

I just replied “What is it you say? “No skin off my bones!”” to say no i don’t lol?

No, I haven’t.

It’s also Blizzard’s opinion.

You’re misusing the term. Take the L.

Pedantic.

RDF has deep reaching repercussions. We’ve seen it.

Why are you narrating our text conversation to me?

I do play TBC. Happy now little one?

RDF isn’t what kills socializing, most people do dungeons because they want to kill things, not talk about their feelings to some random stranger on the internet.

You did. You depicted me as having myself a “main character syndrome” because I want something that other people want. I depicted whoever I reply to because he think his opinion his worth more than other people for the sole reason of being his. The fact that i want RDF doesn’t discard the opinions of other people automatically who doesn’t because “They’re not WoW players like ME lol”. And you liked that guy comment. Clearly, this is not worth wasting any more time explaining this to you if you can’t get the difference.

Still an opinion, that hasn’t been experienced by everyone, as many people on the forum included myself will tell.

Literally stating an objective, observable fact lmao.

See reply on anecdotal evidence that you’ve been trying to pass as actual evidence.

That’s your worst take by far lmao. I literally stamped a five word definition in your face and you’re still copium and will keep moving the goalposts to avoid admitting you’re wrong. Gotta say, It’s been fun, but I do have some other things to spend my time on rather than some ill-fated rando who just want to be right regardless that you’ve been shown to be incorrect and will change any argument into some sterile debate because, obviously, debate doesn’t interest you the slightest. You’re just another stubborn, pseudo-intellectual forum-dweller who want to be right because you crave validation so much.

Tchuss.

Yes it does. It’s hard to take the rest of your post seriously if you can’t understand this simple fact. No offense of course

Only in WoW do people try to claim that RDF kills socializing.

Every other major MMO has a RDF system, none of the players that play them say it kills socializing.

Having played, wow, FFXIV, swtor, GW2, I have seen 1 clear fact. 99.9999% of socializing happens outside of dungeons in MMOs.

Pretty much every time someone says “no offense”, offense was intended, the person saying it just wants to try to pre-emptively avoid being called a jerk.

No, actually on FFXIV PVP discord it was being discussed a couple days ago that “queued” content feels dead and lifeless.

However, the difference is reactionaries attacking Blizzard and pushing them to turn back on a good decision to remove RDF.

Guild wars 2 doesn’t have one.

ESO does I believe.
