I absolutely do not read that as saying people prefer it. I read it as they made a calculated decision that $35 was the most they could squeeze out of people without being outweighed by more people opting to do it at $15.
Ok man, you do you.

Dude, you’re arguing with wow forum pro-RDFers as if they are intellectually honest and swayed by fact. They are not. Their stance is that RDF will drastically change the way people play the game, but somehow this fundamental shift will not change anything about the culture. It is absurd, even without everything we know about the history of WoW or culture in general.
Keep at it, your work is appreciated, but know that no amount of reasoning will sway people who want WoW to become a game about spamming queues for low effort, low commitment, low intrinsic value content in order to get the dopamine hit of extrinsic rewards.

Are you that guy that digs his own outhouse, beats his dirty clothes on rocks by the river and washes his dishes in a tub of water he drew from the well? I mean, you do seem to think engaging in tedium for tedium’s sake is some virtue.

By clicking a button rather than actually communicating with someone you automatically change the social dynamics. It is no novelty that the introduction of some systems have changed how people interact with one another (think of smartphones and social media, for example).

Axefiends brain is too large for you guys tbh.
No. I list myself, get a wordless invite, accept and that’s it. That’s the way LFG works - you invite others that are listed by “clicking a button” or you wait. Cracks me up that some people pretend this is a big social party.

RDF does not prevent you from talking to people.
You can still preform groups if you want, which people did for multiple reasons. Heck you can even do something radical like talk to the people in your RDF group.

Well, I’ve never said that LFG is functional; it is somewhat helpful at most.
But if you’ve read some people’s opinions, they’ve said that engaging in social interactions have worked better and faster for them. In any case, my argument is about the impact of RDF in the social scale; I’ve never mentioned LFG tool in a positive way, that’s another discussion. I encourage people to talk to one another.
If you aren’t the social type, then please don’t come and ruin the party that we are having.
Or that it was ever some major social even trying to pug 5 mans. Before that people were just staring at an add on playing whack a mole whispering “I’ll go” and hoping they can picked out of the 20 people who whispered the exact same thing as soon as a group showed up looking for more DPS.

Are we having this conversation again? It removes the need for the interaction. It has never been said that it prevents anyone from doing so.
Why are you so adamant to invalidate the value in that “I’ll go”? People needed to exercise some social abilities if they wanted to complete the task. Those 20 people whispering are valuable, and the way they replied might determine the outcome.
People are more inclined to accept someone who treat them nicely.
Learn how to whisper “invite” or “inv” and you may not need to spend so much time on the forums. Though including a bit of info can be helpful too:
39 enh sham, have WF tot, inv
Nobody missed any boat. It doesn’t matter who wants what at this point. Blizzard decided they didn’t want it, and I logged in and played, end of story. There’s no blame to throw around on either side of the argument, it wasn’t our decision to begin with.

You just wasted time typing out something that conveys the same message as “I’ll go” there by decreasing the chance you’ll get picked.

Wait a sec… are you saying I shouldn’t list myself in LFG anymore because I’m ruining everyone’s fun?

I think it’s far more sad that anyone actually considers “I’ll go” to be valuable socialization. Why do you think it is? What does that do to let me know you better as a person?
And no they won’t reply most of the time, why would they? They’ve clearly communicated their intent by inviting or not inviting you, there’s no need to reply.
