Debunking the "Anti-RDF" arguments!

I won’t use the tool since I play with my guild, it doesn’t affect me. I don’t care what affects players outside my bubble. I don’t know you, why would I care.

This is literally the most selfish attitude I can imagine.

“Well I get to have a fun experience. So I have no problem ruining everybody elses.”

How about you just don’t implement this terrible feature that has literally no benefits? (that can’t be solved by improving LFG)

Yea but now you can run dungeons WHILE questing. Which is the most annoying thing on the planet…but it’s damn efficient.

Still not the most efficient. Doing the dungeon specifically for the quests is proper but pausing your quest guide to do dungeons will slow you down if you’ve already completed the dungeon quests.

Even in that dumpster fire retail, open world is faster with the correct guide.

Yea you just que up for every new dungeon as soon as it pops up. Do the quests in there. And then get teleported back and finish your quest. Not only is a huge exp boost but you get good gear from it too.

Well, yes and no. Honestly, I think this one is entirely to the indevidual and there play style. If people want to spam dungeons, then they should have that option. If they want to quest and dungeon, they should have that option. If they just want to quest, then also, they should have that option.

Everyone has different play style. Just because you don’t like the play style of someone else, doesn’t mean the other person should suffer.

Once again, I say yes and no. Same as above, it depends on the person choices.

RDF doesn’t stop you from making friends. Sorry, but this is entirely false.

Well, they are “instances”. I know every location of every dungeon, retail and classic. If you don’t know, then because you’re not out actually exploring the world, which is your own fault, not others.

The hell? Ok, lets say I was in Strattath on my lock, and a dungeon popped. And lets say, it was Old Footsbrad Foot Hills. Want to know the different? I’d only have to deal with 1 loading screen in RDF, where Currently, teleport to Darnassus, then through little pinkish portal to down the base of Teldrassil, then flight path to Tanaris, then portal into the dungeon when inside Caverns of Times.

Sorry, this is entirely false. RDF is a tool designed to be for easier grouping for dungeons. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yes… for the first run through if you have the quests in the dungeon or the quests connected to the chain… continuously queueing for the same dungeon isn’t efficient.

You really only lose out on a few minutes getting summoned by a group there soo… it is of small consequence.

Not game breaking since most of you are already to lazy to walk and will wait for a summon.

You know how much I regret playing a Warlock on Retail and Classic because of “Summon Please”.

Once again I am not in favor, I just don’t care. Do it, don’t do it. Doesn’t matter to me. The community outside of my guild doesn’t matter to me. Blizzards log-in metrics don’t matter to me. The game is fairly mismanaged to begin with and I am for the most part waiting for my buddies to get bored and come back to WoW Ascension P-Server.

Please for the love of god, I want RDF. This current system is so flawed. RDF was so much better and one of the best QoL features of wrath.
I’m dreading trying to dungeon level in Northrend to have half the groups fall apart in transit, being camped outside the dungeons, trying to figure out what group needs what because the mage is listed as a healer, the healer is listed as a DPS, and both rogues are listed as tanks. I am so sick of wasting hours that I could be levelling.

people pretending that they are writing a dissertation on a very important matter

Actually, this is going on the opening post.

I think this one is entirely to the indevidual and there play style

Dude I’m so sick of the LIE. It’s peak WoW Brain.

Video games…have a meta…are you following? Players…follow the meta. You can kick and scream all you want but that’s what happens.

The vast vast majority of people playing WoW are trying to reach max level, get the best gear, and get the coolest mounts. Can you stop denying reality? Do you even play the game?

RDF doesn’t stop you from making friends. Sorry, but this is entirely false.

I didn’t mention making friends…I mentioned recruiting future dungeon partners. And SOMETIMES that relationship grows into a deeper friendship. Bro nobodies joining dungeons trying to meet chicks or bros…it’s for gear and exp.

If you don’t know, then because you’re not out actually exploring the world

There are some exceptions. Like BFA had questlines that took you to the entrance of ever dungeon. Which I thought was cool. But then I thought it was the lamest thing ever when instead of walking thru the awesome entrance with a group later on. I teleported inside. Pure lameness.

But like I haven’t quested in every single zone. Large chunks of MOP, CATA, and Legion I’ve never been some of the zones. (yet I’ve done all the dungeons. Again. Lame as hell.)

Like bro am I suppose to waste my parties time and walk outside the dungeon to look around?

And lets say, it was Old Footsbrad Foot Hills. Want to know the different? I’d only have to deal with 1 loading screen in RDF, where Currently, teleport to Darnassus, then through little pinkish portal to down the base of Teldrassil, then flight path to Tanaris, then portal into the dungeon when inside Caverns of Times.

Bro you’re walking into a portal. A leading screen is what players EXPECT to see when entering a god damn portal… (the loading screen crossing the ocean is way more lame.)

Again this is just game design 101. Players expectations matter. Players like a world that feels alive and immersive. Seamless and massive. This was one of the major appeals of original WoW.

Also I like how the pro RDF side literally just ignores all of criticisms and tells us to accept it. Meanwhile the anti RDF side is totally sympathetic to your complaints and WANT to make it easier for you to find groups.

Ok, how on earth is “people have a there own play style” a complete lie? Please, come back to me with a fully decent answer on this. If you reply is good, then I reply to the rest of your post. If your reply is bad, you’ll be on the ignore list and ignored forever.

Well said all these anti rdf players no change babies can’t cope with the fact that the game has been changed multiple times its not the same wrath that they see through their rose tinted googles.

The community has also changed a lot and people trying to replicate the experience are going to be disappointed with or without RDF.

Don’t forget, the game is also altered, so the disappointment is going to be bigger, no matter what.

I am honestly surprised the community doesn’t just expect disappointment in regards to Blizzard in general. Average wait time on game breaking bug tickets is 9 days 11 hours. Blizzard has a monopoly on disappointing a community.

Really? You enjoy being blasted with 4chan level comments and discussion non-stop while trying to find a needle out the madness? Cause that’s the current state of LFG… People are forced to use this tool that exposes them to garbage human beings (maybe this is the reason why people aren’t as social anymore and it has nothing to do with Classic grouping mechanisms)

They don’t know because they don’t play retail. They’re just regurgitating talking points.

They have no clue what they are talking about at all. They just read it in one of the other anti-RDF posts and need an excuse that isn’t just them admitting they want to gatekeep content.
