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.
