Are you guys having fun with no RDF?

im not saying i wanna chit chat through the whole dungeon but no one even says a word in RDF and if i wanted to play a game where no one will even say hi id go play a single player game. how it is now people chat in almost every dungeon ive been in

activision buys blizzard adds a convenience tool (RDF) everyone loves it then continues to add more convenience tools that ruin the game. i dont need to prove it because the proof is in the timeline. i dont think RDF is terrible by itself. however it does water the game down.

To be clear here, I’m not against RDF. If RDF Gets added, fantastic. Just going to address my experience so far.

  • I whisper people if they put in the note to do so first.
  • I have been denied for being the same armor type. I just formed my own group and called it a day. That has happened since the beginning of this game and will continue to happen until they add personal loot.
  • I don’t mind traveling to dungeons. Flying makes it fairly inconsequential. Pre-flying I only did the dungeons that I was in the same zone with, so it never interrupted questing.
  • I watch TV while doing most of the stuff in dungeons, I don’t see how that is relevant.
  • I barely ever use LFG chat outside of the 5 seconds it takes to recruit people.
    I think the longest I’ve ever spent doing so was around 10 minutes for a healer during off hours.
  • Never had an issue with people queuing a tank. Could be a problem, no idea though.
  • don’t care about pvp versus pve. It literally makes no difference to me.
  • Also don’t care about GDKP spam. It’s a raid system that’s also existed for a while. I prefer it to AOTC Achiev selling actually, so there’s that, I guess.
  • On Atiesh (the 8th most populated server) I haven’t seen an issue with groups not getting filled.
  • I don’t mind waiting for daily lockouts. I like to go and do other things outside of spam dungeons mindlessly.
  • I don’t care how long someone takes to get to the stone. I’m not in a hurry if im going on heroic runs.
  • Outside of having to do a minor amount of legwork in group forming, it’s really not that much of an inconvenience.

I’m not suggesting that the issues don’t exist at all. I understand some people are having a hard time. Just that for me personally, it’s not been a huge deal.

Then they need to quit calling it WotLK because if they aren’t going to try and provide an authentic experience, don’t bother.

I’m not having fun because I cant even do any dungeons at. Game is a mess without RDF.

Net negative to the experience in my opinion. Dungeons are primarily why I play this game, why I’ve always played this game. The note convenient the better.

It’s taking over an hour to fill lower level dungeons on new servers in some cases because the population is so lopsided right now. How is that fun…

Especially since we’re not 16 anymore with 5+ hours to jam video games after school. Spoiler alert, people are still being crap to each other (surprising I know right).

Wotlk dungeons feel very underwhelming with rewards too. Doesn’t help.

Yes, I’m having fun. :relieved:

Ya know… learning where the instances actually are has been fun. Back in the day I was always summoned in and later teleported in. Now I’m the first one there since I have epic flying and a mount speed buff.

Retail still exists, you’re welcome to it.

Love it, and on top of all of that we get to revel in the QQ of forum whiners. #NeverRDF

I can’t tell if you’re serious or if you’re actually against RDF and purposely making bad arguments as a way to make RDF supporters look stupid.

I sure bet that varies for every individual that plays the game.

I don’t personally like it nor dislike it. I simply do it when it’s necessary, and others have whispered me when they needed a tank (I play a Frost DK), and I’m ok with that.

I’m against that; but I remember it happened when I used to use RDF back in retail.

If I’m farming heroic gear, I’d like to assume I would have cold weather flying by then; so no, I wouldn’t mind, the scenery is beautiful -I swear I’m not trolling, I truly admire the landscape.

I’m somewhat talkative during dungeon runs; so yes, I greet people and thank them, or ask them questions about a fight, etc.

Same answer as before, about the whispers. I don’t mind it, I don’t dislike it.

If I’m in Azeroth, I take that time to get snacks, bio break, etc. I don’t play in a hurry. It doesn’t take that long in Northrend or Outlands.

We don’t know what’s going on on their end; recently, I had to go away from my computer because an earthquake hit the city. So I give them some time to finish whatever they might be doing.

I’ve never done that, so I don’t have an answer.

I use my hearthstone after a dungeon.

I use alt + up, not too much of a hassle, to be honest.

A little miscommunication happens not that often, so I don’t mind it.

I usually ask them if they want to run a specific dungeon, or if we can run more than one, or the same a few more times.

It depends on the dungeon, how far I am, if I’m on a quest that gives a reward I want or need; my answer depends on a case to case basis.

Considering there are thousands of people playing on some servers, I don’t mind it; I add people I get along with so I can run dungeons or do quests with them again.

The gamestyle and overall experience of PvP and PvE are different. I wouldn’t put them in the same category. In any case, I don’t like it nor I dislike; I don’t have an opinion on this one.

If some guild use it internally, good for them. But I dislike this practice.

If I get asked beforehand, then I can decide if I agree or not. If I don’t agree, I leave the group and look for another one.

Not that I particularly like it, but it happens from time to time.

To be honest, I don’t remember this mechanic, so I can’t comment on this.

You are guiding answers and manipulating information with this one. Let’s see… two things ruined the game for me starting in Cataclysm: 1) content and leveling becoming too easy; 2) RDF; not the only reasons, but the major ones. I don’t particularly blame RDF: I blame how people used the tool, and how they behaved while in a dungeon. It also changed the dynamics of the dungeons.

Back in the day, it was a change, a new feature; we didn’t know the extent of the consequences by then.

I’m talking from my perspective only; I cannot claim it was praised, nor deny it.

I do my best not to call people names, nor use adjectives. I don’t mind getting to the stone first and helping with the summon.

It doesn’t necessarily encourage casuals, but I can see how it can encourage shy, introvert or people with social anxiety use it.

That’s another assumption; I don’t refresh LFG every 5 seconds. I queue, advertise from time to time on LFG and carry on with whatever I was doing and patiently wait. Running a dungeon is not a must.

An exaggeration, no matter how you see it. I’m a patient person, so I don’t mind it.

No, I don’t like it. But this has nothing to do with RDF because I had been kicked out of groups even when I used to play retail.

Be amazed that I don’t mind how things are. I’m not trolling, this is the way I play and interact with others.

People play on their own accord, and everyone’s time is valuable. I offer others my patience and time because I don’t know what’s going on with them. I play on my free time, so I’m rarely in a hurry to do “x” or “y” content. I enjoy interacting with others, regardless if it’s on a game, in real life, or wherever.

WoW isn’t a fast food place, nor an express service.

Absolutely hate not having RDF and can’t wait for retail pre-patch so I can just go back there and actually play. Questing is boring as all hell, and I really can’t believe the “quest leveling is the game” BS I’ve heard.

Something some don’t want to admit is that if they had gone down the route they are with Wrath Classic, WoW would have ended years ago. But what do I know? Just that Wrath the way they’re presenting it now would not have made me want to play for the years after it.

Yes having a blast it’s been a great experience. Have literally had none of those issues.

I like all of that as opposed to listening to someone whine about a game they can simply choose not to play .
