proof you don’t like is still proof. stop being a child
The thing is that this isnt unexpected, its the desired outcome. So hoping for an accidental fix or something is just not happening. We got screwed for tbc and wrath classic, but hopefully private ventures will get a different look from the wider wow playerbase now that they have identified the things they want/enjoy and who or what is gatekeeping it.
No RDF does make the leveling process significantly more garbage, but that isnt surprising they went in knowing it and did it anyway and you apparently helped with your previous point of view. Glad you came around, but dps mains are screwed for wrath anyway the damage is done.

that’s not proof. you don’t know what proof is lol.
here i can say the same thing. look at lfg and trade chat for literally 10 seconds and it proves u WRONG. see why that’s not proof lol?
you are so desperate for validation you’ve resorted to emoji spam. I’m sorry your life is that sad and pathetic
at least im not maknig up lies on the internet and pretending that the majority of the playerbase is hardcore tryhards which makes no logical sense and isnt true for ANY game

hey people, it doesn’t matter what you think because you need brains in the first place to realize that Not having RDF makes the game worse.

Not everyone plays retail like that either… again point invalid
so point not invalid then lol. you concede that not everyone plays classic like you do. that was the point i was making.
classic isnt designed around sweaty tryhards. you’re not very good at this, are you?
I’m just not sure what they have to gain here. I mean, I guess some additional players might buy boosts, but if Blizzard was all about the money on this front then they wouldn’t have limited boosts to one per account. Past the boost, they don’t really get much out of it. I think it’s the players that stand to gain from this one, even though a lot of folks don’t see it right now. I’ve been playing the past couple days and even though the group finder is rough as heck, it’s still working and I’m getting a lot of groups. I’ve even had a lot of my groups waiting on DPS to fill, so it’s not just a role issue.
Granted, as discussed, I play at fairly normal times on a realm with a healthy population.
Maybe this ties in with what I said above about you being in a certain state of mind and it being really difficult to get you out of it… but the blog post they made about their core design pillars was right on target for this. In fact, they’ve been incredibly open about the “why” of the changes they’re doing in Classic, once they do them. I think this is really great! I may not always agree with what they’re doing (in fact, some of those design pillars aren’t up my alley), but they’ve said what they’re doing and why. I appreciate that.
I think maybe it doesn’t land as much for you though because you’re already viewing this in an extremely negative light. When you’re there, I don’t think there’s much of anything Blizzard can do except exactly the thing you want. That’s a pretty rough spot for anybody to be in, imho.
It doesn’t immediately change anything, but if we all spent more time promoting positive changes that addressed the real issues we needed solved instead of this crazy debate over RDF, maybe Blizzard would start to take notice. We want solutions to connectivity and player isolation that don’t undermine the core concepts of what not only makes Classic great, but also differentiates it from Retail.
The RDF ship has sailed. At a minimum this will be true for a year (or whenever ICC comes out and a renewed wave of requests comes in), but Blizzard can implement other solutions to get players on low pop realms connected with other players.
It’s worth saying though that you are in a more unique situation. I’m not actually sure if you’re on a low pop realm or not, but playing at 3am puts you at a disadvantage no matter what. While RDF might give you a bit of an improvement, it would only do so if cross-realm was enabled and oceanic realms were connected. Have you ever considered playing on Oceanic? The latency is higher, but in today’s world of super fast internet, it’s quite playable.

Who would have thought the lack of a functional group group finder would hold people back from doing group content?
The answer: Almost everyone here in the forums. Outside the sinister cadre of forum trolls, pretty much everyone here said it would be a hinderance.
Hopefully the awesome community you’re supposedly trying to protect helps you out.
