With the “small” difference that the old world was even more empty than before because players could skip everything with one button.
Every change has its impact and there’s a reason that players fight against a lot of these changes.
How did they do it? By offering their own level 70 boost? You being sarcastic?
What it did for me was,
It allowed me to go to the world and actually play, while in queue.
No more staring at chat in hopes that I’m fast enough with my inv macro.
Not having to get an addon that allows me to actually find groups in that chat.
Being able to get in a group with whatever class I was playing at the time.
Being able to even get into a dungeon with limited game time availability.
Easily getting grouped when friends and guild are not online.
Quickly adding another player to our group.
For me it had no down side, so don’t include me in your statement pls.
I didn’t mean RDF with the “button”. I’m totally on your side when it comes to the dungeon finder and group finding.
RDF brought back joy and engagement into leveling and took away frustration over not finding any groups for low level dungeons.
What I meant with the “button” that made the old world even more empty than it was, is the level boost from Blizzard in modern Classic.
It’s a huge contradiction, stating that the open world or old world will be revived and boosting through players will be harder, when Blizzard themselves are offering an instant boost.
You said they tried it already. They have not, we are still in the TBC classic expansion. Therefore what you said was stupid, because you also said you knew it already but said it anyway. So like, it was stupid.
Plus, the people who wanted changes for Classic and TBC aren’t necessarily the same people who want to play WotLK as it was. That’s just a really weird take. I didn’t hate Classic and TBC the way they existed, so I don’t even know what Zipzo is talking about. #nochanges is a reasonable concept and even #tinychanges is still fine, but what we have with WotLK now is #wechangeasmuchaswecan so it becomes a quite different game.
It’s not fair taking the original WotLK experience from the people who want that. BC and Classic gamers got it but “we” get shafted.
They have not, are we living in two different realities? Or are you talking about the original wotlk? I was there, and rdf was great as was most of the other features they had at the time. Maybe we just had different experiances back then, but I liked it a lot.
We will see. Hopefully the minority does not win on this issue. I know most people didn’t mind dungeon finder, because as many have pointed out, in all of these threads, countless times before now, it enables an alternate path of leveling other than killing 10k boars in the forest. And people kinda like that. They liked it back then, and I’m pretty sure they would like it now.
