No you’re wanting to add things to WotLK classic as it is releasing without RDF. Blizzard already stated their intentions.

105

Being frustrated setting up a group manually is totally the correct environment for socializing.

They wanted to not have any quest helper added either, for no reason other than changing for the sake of change. The developers have some screws loose.

the Reason the “new” LFG works because there is truly no meta in what class to bring in a mythic+ 5man Everything class is homogenized to the ground.

In WOTLK, nothing is homogenized, Every single class has its strengths and weaknesses, thus creating the current meta of Pally tank, 2 surv hunters, 1 demo lock, and 1 resto druid/hpally.

TBH WotLK quest helper is actually pretty bad. Questie will likely still be the better option. Although they were considering that months ago, that Wowhead article that came out recently was referencing a months old blue post, they already decided to include quest helper by that point.

109

This isn’t exactly true, Surv and Destro absolutely dominate, hence them getting nerfed into the ground as soon as this M+ season ends.

Fixed it for you.

Easier doesn’t mean better

Rdf goes agaist the design goal intentions of classic, tbcc, and wotlkc. It was origionally released late wotlk because they needed some form of filler content because they knew icc would see a huge content droubt.

111

This is false. They started working on it in Patch 3.1. If it was “Filler content” then it would have been removed in Cata like a lot of other temporary filler content items are.

112

rdf was created because finding groups for things was aids when your server only had 1-3k players on it – The orginal design goal for classic, tbc, and wotlk was to play the game as it was intended with the QoL improvements included.

If that was the case, then make BG’s the same realm, and take away same faction BG’s by your logic.

Another one that doesn’t understand why they get rejected on retail. 50 people apply and the leader picks one… so you’re not the only one rejected… build your own group and don’t get rejected.

All those arguments because people are unable to lead a group and want the game to do it for them.

We’re getting 3.3.5a Systems. RDF was released in 3.3. Therefore yes by all measures it’s being removed. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it.

It was released in December 2009. It was part of Wrath for an entire year, out of a two year expansion. People need to stop repeating the “Late” nonsense. Half the expansion had it.

Also drought.

Fixed it for you.

Because of a content drought that rdf was used to help fill.

I’ll accept that technicallity if you never ever claim it was insignificant to the expansion again. Since you won’t, no, you didn’t. 15 days short of half does not make it “late”.

So you admit that it consitituted the significant experience for most of the playerbase for half the expansion (minus 15 days). Thanks for agreeing. Also if it were filler, it would have been removed in Cataclysm. It wasn’t because everyone used it heavily because it was a good system to add.

All they needed to do was not launch it cross-realm.

I am a complete casual these days and wanted to play WotLk as it was in 2009-2010. The few QOL improvements is something I was looking forward to. I don’t have time nor want to “look” for a group to do a simple thing like run a dungeon. I want to log in, que up, do some quests or camp a rare pet and actually play the game. NOT sit in a city looking at a LFG tool doing nothing until I get frustrated then log off, doesn’t sound like fun ill pass. No DF then I don’t play/sub, it’s that simple.

Most of WotLK didn’t have dungeon finder, and retail exists if you want to have a complete single player experience.

Where is the evidence though? A lot happened after wrath to cause wows downfall, it wasn’t caused by the rdf.

Also if you want social gameplay join a guild, raid, do organized pvp. 5 mans are meant to be done quick if you ask me, you get in and get it down. Without rdf and without those goody bags I think dungeons will die.

You yourself proved this wasn’t a justifiable claim. Wrath had dungeon finder for a full year, and you’re misrepresenting it by claiming “Most of”. Half of is a far more accurate statement.

The argument that people say #nochanges I want WotLK as it was back in the day with RDF is avoiding the point that most of WotLK content didn’t even have RDF, it’s a silly argument and the only logical way you could argue that is if they introduced RDF in the ICC phase.

I think if people want change they need to be bringing real arguments and compromise to the table, such as some form of realm locked RDF as you’ve suggested before.

GIVE ME RDF OR YOU’LL MISS OUT ON MY $15 A MONTH!! Isn’t helping anyone lol.

Now you’re hedging yourself :rofl:

In terms of the time period, which is what matters, half the expansion had RDF, and we’re getting 3.3.5a systems which includes RDF.

Actually, given that many people are choosing not to play Wrath because of it, it really is. I don’t think the forum posters will be the people dropping out, but I know of quite a few people who were only in the TBC waiting room because they knew they could use RDF in Wrath, and now they’re not going to bother because Wrath is “Vanilla In Northrend” and they didn’t come for the Vanilla experience, they want Wrath.
