RDF isn’t content and has zero reason to be held back. If that’s the case then they should hold back all the bug fixes/class balance fixes as well.

I cannot post links on this account due to forum trust levels.
There MANY Blizzard approved graphs that show that the patch where RDF came out, Wrath hit it’s all time high and lost all of it’s subscribers and went on a downward peak until WoD where they stopped showing it.
What’s ridiuclous is you not being able to accept reality, the lead dev himself said a majority of people dind’t want it and cheered him on to remove it.
Guess what, RDF isn’t here. That makes YOU the vocal minority.
Speak for yourself.

Here you go again, “you can go to retail”. Isn’t it more appropriate to say “You can go back to classic vanilla”? The servers are there… RDF isn’t… You’re playing Wrath Of the Lich King on the patch where RDF existed, you realize that right?
Nonetheless, RDF will be implemented, there’s no doubt. They will do what they did during original launch. Leave it out, and then implement it when content is dry, and players unsub to bring people back… It’s not hard to remember the empty world without RDF during the TBC and vanilla classic experiences…
Even adding the PVP from anywhere tool now has people out working on professions and grinding mobs again lol… You’re right though the immersion of standing in a pile of other 70’s clicking on an NPC to queue while you watch Netflix was much better… RDF Is no different lol.

I speak for the silent majority, clearly RDF not being the game makes you the minority. The sooner you accept it the better.

Not 100% sure why I was quoted, I mentioned it was mentioned somewhere. I was digging cause I couldn’t remember myself and there might be lore people who didn’t play SL cause it wasn’t that great of an expac.
There’s a Cinematic that has the Jailer forging a new Mournblade.
There’s a quest to do with the fact that the Runecarver was the one that made the Helm of Domination and Frostmourne
I can’t remember if it was in the actual game, but there was talk that Slyvanus was talking to the Jailer since her death at ICC before being resurrected.
The Dreadlords work for the Jailer and aren’t their own entity that just love to cause chaos.
There’s other bits and pieces that are in Books that I don’t recall that change the makes some of the past not make sense.

What community? There’s no community to preserve for RDF to kill in the first place.

So? What if people some want to AFK all day? What if they enjoy playing the game that way? Who are you to dictate how they can or cannot play a game?
This has nothing to do with not knowing how to “properly communicate” If people do not want to talk to begin with, all they want to do is the dungeon and what they came for and leave, they are not interested in conversation period.

Still ignoring my point… You say that RDF was the death of social interaction and yet I have made friends in Legion and BFA? which had RDF in those expansions?
Yeah i have looked at the graph… after RDF has been implemented during the end of Wrath, it didn’t lose a ton of subs during the time period. If you are referring the Cataclysm than yes I see a drop off, I’m not blind but I do remember that during that time, the reasons of unsubbing has nothing to with RDF, there were other MMOs at the time and Cataclysm in all around just wasn’t a great expansion.

I find it more toxic to gatekeep people into believing that the game is better without an RDF feature. Mark my words, Wrath is going to have the biggest Gatekeeping compared to classic and tbcc because everyone is going to be measured by their achievements. Don’t Have the Heroic achievement of said dungeon? Good luck getting in or finding people outside your friends or guild mates to run it.
Yes, I honestly believe this based on how people are going to play in wrath classic. And it’s going to be the same thing when it comes to the raid variants too. Which is sad to say, wrath is so easy it might as well be automated from dungeons to raids. And there’s no way RDF being added into ICC phase is going to matter compared to it on release. People being able to level alts faster = more possible raids.

you’re mistaken, he said him and his friends will UNSCRIBE, they’ll still play, just roll blacksmithing or something.

So why should it be encouraged? Just because something is a problem doesn’t mean it should be enabled. Why recreate the mistakes of the past?
They didn’t add a QOL feature you wanted, so you think they should recreate 3.0 wrath and spend dev time adding in every single patch as it was bugs and all? This is why they aren’t going to listen to the screeching about RDF. You are on another planet trying to perform mental gymnastics to justify a QOL tool you want.
Random bgs aren’t even in the game lol.
im fine with everything you said, but they wont do it
just like they wont add rdf early 
RDF led to the downfall of WoW in the first place, we have clear proof of that. Why would Blizzard repeat the same mistake twice? Do you take them to be fools?
RDF is gone and will never come back.
This is Classic, it is designed for old school MMO players like myself to enjoy the world not just play with a bunch of AFK zoomers who boost all day. Go play Retail if that’s your speed, a majority of us do not encourage that behavior here.
Yeah you definitely have a point here and I do agree with you. Blizzard is pandering to the side of the community that believes that X-Realm RDF killed the social aspects of the game and that side of the community is scared that history will repeat itself.
My idea for a middle ground is more of a request for them to at least do the bare minimum if they stick to their guns about keeping it removed from the game.
