Blizz left out the real reason why they don’t want to add RDF - and it’s implied here I think - they simply don’t want to spend the money - it would cost heaps to implement it.
Hmm… they have yet to say RDF will never be added, and given their history of flip flopping on bad decisions like they did with flying the only way to make it happen is to keep bringing it up
I doubt it. If private servers do it it can’t be that difficult. Yeah, running multiple servers is a bit more complicated but the private servers weren’t getting $15 a month from every person who played on the server.
why are people afraid to just make a poll system like osrs has, make an ingame npc that has polling options for potential changes and limit votes to one per bnet account
think about it, wotlk will not be alive forever and cata won’t cost them money to put it “since it’s not a new game” so ofc cata will eventually arrive
They answered 1 of them and hinted towards the 2nd.
They said flat out that RDF isnt for classic and they dont believe it for the community. Too many just wont accept that answer and will continue to poke and prod.
The 2nd they sent out a questionnaire for Cata. We are still only phase 1 so its WAYYYYYY to early to tell if they plan to go past wrath. It will depend on how well the retention is throughout the expansion and the results from the polling.
I didn’t mind RDF as the content was easy and it had a item level you had to meet to queue. I made a lot of friends I still have today from RDF.
Now for some reason LFR didn’t work out like RDF did. People became toxic in Looking For Raid, and hardcore raiders became angry when a LFRer got gear at or near their item level from forging. But mostly it was the toxic attitude of folks that had done the content before against new folks who hadn’t yet. It was and still is a big issue. I don’t even bother with raids in retail, just run mythic+ dungeons. Which I have not done for a long time.
Just my opinion if they add RDF and only RDF, and stay away from LFR it will be good for the classic Wrath and Cata if they do it.
