Bonus points if you chime in if you’re glad there will be no RDF.
I played Vanilla Wrath, and I remember the day that RDF went live. I was sitting in Dalaran, porting into games as a tank for hours, never needed to move, never needed to summon, just plopped right into a team. RDF drastically changed how we navigated WoW and interacted with the community, and I saw it as the beginning of the end.
Thank you, Blizzard, for skipping that.
Your choice and I did not do that but continued to quest or interact with the rest of the world while waiting for a queue to pop. I never sat in Dalaran or Orgrimmar waiting - doing nothing else. I won’t be sitting around this time either but I have a schedule that helps me to be available during primetime for the server and for my guild.
I believe Blizzard should respect the original Wrath cadence and should include the dungeon finder with the ICC content drop just as it was.
Ahh, so a balanced and fair spam post I see
Nah. Gonna chime in because I care about RDF, clown.
I’m glad that RDF will not be in the game.
Please respect the thread rules.
you can say that all you want but the fact is 90%+ players just sat in town. this is an indisputable fact.
If it doesn’t violate the forum CoC then it’s fine.
Opie doesn’t set the rules here.
You don’t know what those words mean. I spoke for myself. You have no documentation so no not facts.
I can post wherever I like. You don’t get to dictate that buddy.
well blizzard apparently knows this fact, that’s why they’re getting rid of RDF.
do you think they’re removing it for no reason? just to annoy people? they have the data that says RDF reduced player engagement.
This is the fact you specifically cited and you have no reference or proof of that particular fact.
You’ve said you are not even going to play Wrath, chucklehead.
Sit down.
it may not have been ExAcTlY 90% but it was definitely the vast majority. i’m talking from my past gaming experience 15 years ago. wow, who would have thought, if you incentivize just sitting around, most people do that 
Imagine thinking blizzard care about player engagement when they sell a literal level boost so you can skip out on engaging with half the game.
Yeah plus 30k+ single faction mega servers with 12+ layers running simultaneously. Doesn’t real have that community feel. It’s like being in an amusement park and every time you get off of a ride there’s a whole different set of strangers around you. Not really a big social experience where you meet new friends.
They do that even without RDF. They did it on som, they did it in classic, and they do it in tbc.
The game is for raid loggers to afk in town until the next GDKP.
Actually if you want to get down to the details, gdkps ENCOURAGE raid logging and city camping.
Why would I be out in the world engaging with anyone or anything if I’m getting paid out 8k per gdkp run Arielba?
Your past experiences 15 years ago are not real data nor references or sample sizes. “Lul probably 90%” is not evidence nor statistical
It is in no way an indisputable fact, where is the evidence?
The fact is no one really knows why they’re not adding it. You can make the argument that it must be the best thing for the game, or it must be what the majority want, if Blizzard has decided to not add it but that is very naive. There are loads of examples of Blizzard doing what they thought was the best for the game, only for it to be bad for the game and poorly received.
That’s not actually true.
Group Finder/RDF/LFG/LFR has been a sticking point for years. The main reason they added it was because of the server restrictions they had in place at the time AND the fact that there were dang near 100 servers at the time. They were trying to give people on lower pop servers a way to get groups.
Now though, there are very few servers, and something like RDF isn’t really even necessary. Couple that with the fact that the servers are even bigger than before, and the chance of you not finding a group is extremely low.
I was playing last night and saw tons of groups looking for people, and quickly disappearing from the channel, and that was just in a stretch of an hour or so.
that’s a whole other separate issue, no need to conflate the two. fact is we don’t need to further encourage even the 5 man dungeon doers to start sittin around all day too. 
your post right above this admitted i was right, just that it doesn’t matter cuz x y z
Personally I don’t really care, I’ll play either way. Given the choice, I don’t want RDF.
RDF wasn’t even in until nearly the last patch of wrath anyways. Yes, I know we’re starting on 3.3.5 but my point is I still remember playing most progression content in wrath up until RDF and it was fine. It wasn’t nearly as difficult to find groups in wrath as you guys are making it out to be.
Every wotlk instance is reasonable distance from Dalaran and there’s even a portal to cot for Stratholme.
Nonetheless if you’re going to quit simply because they’re not adding RDF, save yourself some time and quit now before you sink 2 months in and decide to quit.
