WOTLK Classic is Classic.
No. It is a retail progression server.

Ah thatâs right, you have noneâŠ
Assuming theyâre still working in âRecoveryâ mode, the In Game Quest Helper contained a lot of information about old world Azeroth that does not exist in Retail, since all the zones changed. So they have to recover or rebuild all of that data for the âpre-Northrendâ zones. I assume they still have the backup data for Northrend questing since it wasnât that long ago that it was removed.
If you ever worked in retail you were clearly bad at it. The customer is right about what they want. Tobacco is poison. Chewing tobacco is disgusting and I would never touch it. But I sell a ton of cigarettes and chewing tobacco. I could try to tell my customers that theyâre wrong and replace all tobacco products with some form of nicotine-cessation products. If I wanted to tank my sales and profits. Itâs not directly analogous to Blizzard in that WoW is a service and not a physical product and well, nobody else really comes close to competing with a weakened and diluted version of Wrath; but the core of it is similar enough. And I wouldnât be surprised if you really donât understand that.

Read the TBC/Era page m8. Youâre a progression server and youâve been playing on one for over a year!
Is this one of those if you say it to yourself enough youâll eventually believe it kinda things?

This is why itâs always a bad idea to assume anything about the posterâs IRL person. You are so hilariously off-the-mark on this and you will never have any idea to what extent you are, but it illuminates the fantastical world of pseudo-assumptions that probably guide your entire thought process, which is to say, nothing but made-up falsehoods youâre conjuring purely on your own flawed observation.
And yet thereâs literally no science that wonât say, objectively, that it is terrible for them. This is actually a hilarious example because youâve actually sort of made my point for me.
Iâm not saying that a customer attempting to buy tobacco doesnât truly want tobacco, Iâm saying that itâs terrible for them and they refuse to care because all they actually care about is how they personally feel getting to use it.
Just like you and RDF. Complete and utter ignorance of the multitude of problems that are caused all for your own convenient desires. If we were discussing tobacco or something in actual real life that affects your health, go crazy and destroy yourself, thatâs your prerogative. This is a game developed by a think tank of game developers, however. They get to decide how their game is experienced or was meant to be experienced. Not you. This belongs to them. Not you. You donât get to tell them that they have to give you what you want. They know better than you what they want for their game.
Play or donât.
I understand a lot more than you do, whoâs the one here confused about why RDF was removed?
Add LFD, 
's.
Couldnât do SM:Lib today after trying for another 2 hours.
Lmao, I just wanna play the game, IDAF about talking to people.
I ainât paying to chat.
I even put myself in the LFG tool thing and forgot I was even in there zzz.

The only appropriate response to Despitebeing is:
Go back to Classic Era.
I mean, they arenât mutually exclusive.
It can be both a progressive server, and a âclassicâ one.
Definitions are pretty arbitrary anyway, Blizz can define it however they want.
Easy proof.
Classic Era servers - _classic_era_
Classic TBC - _classic_
Retail - _retail_
So what you âclaimâ is Classic, is Classic Era. If you say Classic, you mean TBCC and soon Wrath Classic. If you say Classic Era, you mean the remastered Vanilla.
Get your terms right.
Yup, see you in shadowlands classic!
I think youâve lost the plotâŠ

Itâs not ignorance, itâs apathy. I donât care. (Also, I still donât believe that RDF is at all the cause of anti-social behavior let alone that it inevitably leads to the same). This only matters if Blizzard has long term plans for classic. I donât. Iâm not playing Classiclysm even if it happens. Blizzard doesnât know for certain if it (or anything else in the classic lineup) will happen post Wrsth Classic. I may not even play Wrath Classic. When you tell someone on death row to stop smoking because itâs bad for their health I donât imagine theyâre going to heed the warning.
RDF is less toxic than RMT fueled GDKPs and hear-score hate keeping for heroics. But weâre going to get the greater of two evils.
Removing RDF only matters if theyâre going to try and divert the flash flood of horrible that is Cataclysm. I donât think itâs possible and Iâm not interested in finding out the answer either way.
This entire experiment has been a nostalgia trip and very little else; and each step of the way Blizzard says to themselves âthat wasnât terrible enough, what do we need to do to make it even worse?â

Itâs both. You neither care, nor know/understand.
Not always black and white. You can be two unfortunate things at once.
You know how I know? Youâre still saying things like this:
No they donât lol. This is so dramatic and imaginary and you know that itâs completely unrealistic. Hyperbole to the max with you.
You just donât like what theyâre doing. Simple.
Again though, this is where Realm Locked RDF addresses the significant problems that both sides raise.

I think when original was out that is when we got to drop questie as an addon⊠so guess they werent thinking about it that way
What multitude of problems are you referring to? Does the entire game freeze up and crash? Does it stop you from running to an instance to get in or keep you from forming a group manually? Do you lose gold? Do your characters all die at once when someone queues? What are the âmultitude of problemsâ? It does not affect anyone but the player that decides to use it. How does it create âproblemsâ?

Demonstrably false, and saying this just illustrates youâre either disingenuous or just not paying attention, pick one.
It splits the playerbase between different party forming channels, and at worst, leads the playerbase to simply pick the more efficient one, making one of them pointless, leaving those who prefer it screwed.
With everyone using the same method, the party forming community is centralized in one place.
This was the exact reasoning Blizzard gave for removing DF in their pillars blog. Pay attention.
