Blizz: No LFD because of social reasons… ALSO Blizzard: I have no problem with people soloing dungeons. REEEE hypocrisy at it’s finest. I don’t know how they can’t see simple logic. oh wait. they aren’t logical

I just want to point out that in five days we have still not come to a conclusion about RDF.
That is not in the spirit of classic and it shames me…

Where the heckins did Garmuck go?
I suspect they created another alt and they’re posting from that one. I can’t confirm it though.
Normita:
I wanna tackle this from a different angle. I think your opinion is valid, but I think you’re basing it on your own personal viewpoint and playstyle, and completely disregarding anyone not like you.
Your first point feels like you’re missing context. You say you were promised something, but you’re basing that promise off of a post they made on the vanilla version of Classic. They have never said that Wrath Classic was intended to be a “truly authentic experience” because Wrath was not 2006, which is what the thing you linked is referring to.
If it were to be introduced, RDF absolutely should not come with launch. Launch content is not balanced around people having such easy access to heroics. RDF entered Wrath at a point in the game where everything but the last 3 heroics added was a complete faceroll. Any plate dps could queue as tank and completely steamroll them basically solo. The entire purpose was to make daily heroics less of a chore. Adding RDF at the start would have wildly different impacts.
Here’s what I really hate about people making the subscriber argument. Do y’all really not realise that maybe the fact that RDF existed during a phase of completely faceroll heroics was the reason that people thought Cata heroics were actually hard, then quit because of it? The forums at the time were literally drowning in posts about how “hard” Cata heroics were. They weren’t, at all. They required a tiny bit of thought, which RDF heroics didn’t.
Finally: Just because YOU don’t get socialization from LFG does not mean that other people don’t. I love the interactions that come from LFG chat based grouping. I don’t have to invite the first person that whispers ‘inv’ with no other info. I can pass on them and wait for someone that actually talks. I made lots of friends early in TBC because of the LFG tool, and I still talk to many of them now.
Heck, even today I wanted to do an MgT daily for mount chance, and I happened to find someone that shared a similar interest in achievement hunting, and after talking a while they joined my guild
Your want for convenience should not outweigh the real social impacts of not having RDF. Whether you agree with it being a social experience or not is entirely up to you. You choose not to make it social, therefore it isn’t. But for those who do like it, RDF being added would completely remove it as an option.
Best post ever, hopefully people read it. Read it now
Anti RDF people are as interested in Wrath’s success as RDF people. They just have different approaches to it’s success.
Making the other side into the side that is trying to destroy something we all enjoy is disingenuous and unproductive.
We need to reach a compromise and can only do that when we don’t view people with different opinions as “the other”.
Garmuck has enough trash threads on this forum, and so does RDF. Really didn’t need to necro this.
I don’t know how many posts are about RDF, but surprisingly there are only about 40-50 with it in its title that haven’t been locked.
If this thread wasn’t zombie rezzed there wouldn’t be any RDF threads. You are correct. It is Pretty annoying.
