Can we just get rid of this broken Group Finder tool?

No one familiar with this game believes a word the devs say. Ever.

RDF is a retail feature, so why should it be in classic?

1. The current LFG tool is a retail feature
2. We can create Death Knights with no level 55 on realms, which is on retail
3. We have barbershop changes
4. We have paid boosts

@Yowazup-area-52

it was brought in during the last patch of wrath so as to pave the way for cata and the new wow (aka retail).

1. It was brought in at the launch of the second-last patch, not the last one
2. Lich King WAS retail

[Discipleship-pagle]

Random Dungeon Finder will fix so many of these problems.

• RDF is a retail feature, so why should it be in classic?
• For those who say RDF was in wrath, let me clear things up for those who can’t see: it was brought in during the last patch of wrath so as to pave the way for cata and the new wow (aka retail).

RDF is a Wrath feature, half of Wrath. More players played Wrath during the reign of RDF than played without it. Sub numbers do not lie.

RDF has nothing to do with Cataclysm.

If the purpose of this tool was to make grouping more social, it has completely failed. When you do manage to find a group using it, it’s still the same lifeless groups that dont speak unless they are able to flame another player for making a mistake just like in shadowlands. That is, if the group holds together long enough to make it to the summoning stone.

Your experience with this tool is completely different to mine. Your character also looks new to BC, are you new to classic from retail or something?

Of course the character looks new, its a death knight and is only days old and achievement points are not shared between characters. Maybe you are new to classic from retail or something?
Perhaps our experience with the lfg tool has been different because we play on servers with dramatically different populations.
And no i am not new, i have been playing this game since August of 2006 and played through all of “classic”.

Its so annoying when I get invited to a group for a dungeon I didn’t sign up for and on top of that they ask me to play a role I’m not signed up as.

[Fenorin-westfall]

To everyone here just to argue that rdf was not part of wrath, a couple simple google searches can show you that you are wrong.

Wrath release date - November 13, 2008
Wrath patch 3.3.0 - December 8, 2009 (this patch added Cross-Server Dungeon Finder)
Cata release date - December 7, 2010

So RDF was part of wrath for almost exactly half of the expansion. And as stated by blizzard themselves when talking about the success of wow, the population had substantial growth mid way through the expansion. So more people who played wrath were exposed to the original RDF than people who were not.

[Powernut-faerlina]

We also didn’t have patch 3.4 at launch pretty crazy huh

[Alarigt-emerald-dream]

People are very willing to bail on a LFG group for a better prospect because it has no deserter debuff and it lets you browse the LFG listing while you’re already in a group.

I’m on a fresh server and discovered I could do without RDF (for now at least) but the LFG is just poorly designed.

Why does everyone who joins have to ask “so um what dungeon we running?”

Just about every group has people queued in as the wrong role. Why is it even an option to select holy priest as a DPS or tank spec?

[Bodicca-maladath]

I don’t get it. How does blizzard’s dishonesty and inconsistency help people cope?

[Nippyss-barthilas (Nippyss)]

My experiences with it have been pretty good so far

I’ve listed myself as a rogue and people have picked me up usually with in a minute and been really cool even after I tell them my gears bad.

This is usually like in prime time tho

[Apaulyon-bloodsail-buccaneers]

I think the new tool is great and exactly what everyone wanted!

[Saralocks-thrall (Saralocks)]

@Alarigt-emerald-dream

Why is it even an option to select holy priest as a DPS or tank spec?

Yeah, I agree. The LFG Tool does need some more work on, especially with the roles. It doesn’t make sense to queue as a Warrior and queue as a healer or as a priest and queue as a tank. Don’t get me wrong, the LFG tool is better than the original one we had back in Wrath, but what is wrong with having the RDF Option and also have it run alongside with LFD? Why can’t people have the options.

I understand some of the concerns from people who don’t want RFD, but honestly, what is stopping Blizzard from improving on it instead of gatekeeping on it. If people are upset that people are instantly teleporting to a dungeon, why not make it so then you got to either run to it, or you’re teleported to the meeting stone? If people have the fact that it is cross-realm instancing, why not make it realm only? And it continues on. Instead of removing it, Blizzard should’ve “improved” on it.

[Rgonewildd-sargeras]

Stop complaining

[Saralocks-thrall (Saralocks)]

Just because someone has a different opinion to yours, doesn’t mean it is complaining.

Yea that is not true at all. Wotlk had stagniated growth and the game started declining in cata go online and look at the growth in wotlk compared with tbc and vanillia.

also blizzard already said they are not doing wotlk identically and thry are leaving out QOL changes that effect community. At least you have retail for instant puggable content and people have a place for hardcore workd of warcraft

[Pheandi-moon-guard]

You cannot actually believe that RDF is what caused WoW’s decline. Not Cata’s destruction of the world, not Cata’s endgame, and so on. Just RDF. You have got to be kidding me.

luckily we have archived statistics to show us that you have no clue what your talking about.

Blizzard says they are/arent going to do alot of thing. ya know… like the entirety of classic.
