I had substantially more difficulty trying to fit myself into raid schedules than I did getting groups for dungeons and heroics. But I guess that was just my subjective experience.
The first half of Wrath was less of the Raid focused mindset, in 2009, than it will be this time. The second half of Wrath was definitely the rise of the raid-logger, and RDF stemmed the issues with finding groups.
Those issues will be front and center from the start of Wrath because we already have a large proportion of raid loggers in TBC.
Realm-locked RDF solves the community degradation issue, while continuing to provide a less toxic method of finding groups, especially for DPS. Hell, a realm-locked RDF would increase community engagement because you know that everyone with you is on the same server, so it makes it a benefit to actually make connect.

Bring on the speed runs and silent servers. 
Itâs not an art; itâs a business.
A Cataclysm remaster would be the ideal timeline, and I am holding out hope for it.
I had difficulty with both. Had to talk to my management to get my schedule shifted just enough to make two nights a week.
The dungeons, however, are super annoying. Itâs not terrible if youâre a healer and easy if youâre a tank, but itâs obnoxious and takes forever outside the early days as a DPS - especially one without CC.
You mean like right now?
Because WC3 Reforged did so well?

The team that did WC3 Reforged was dissolved last October. 
Where did those team members go? They didnât get fired 
Yes, the vast majority of them got fired.
From the reporting I saw, they got redistributed to other groups.

Even if they do bring you Cata Classic, thereâs no telling how much they gut that one.
Cata is vulnerable to huge potential changes.
Changing cata would be a mistake.
Why? Do you think they should have LFD in at launch, and LFR during the final phase?
Donât ask me, dude. 
Why would changing Cata be a mistake, and not Wrath?
Cata would benefit from huge potential changes.
âWeâve decided to keep the original questsâ
Discarding the vanilla questing revamp and just touching up old Azeroth for flying would be a huge beneficial change.
As someone currently re-doing all the old world quests, I disagree. Theyâre tangled, spread weirdly so you do a ton of travelling for very little payoff, and even the âstorylinesâ are thin.
Cataclysm was bad at the top end for raiding and heroics, but the revamp of levelling and the questing paradigm was a big improvement, in line with what Wrath is. Iâd be ok with no LFD below 80 if the questing experience was Cataclysm.

Ew lol. No wonder you donât like these changes.
BIG disagree. Older questing was just much better due to the way it encouraged more interaction.
Cata and onward may as well be a solo leveling campaign.
