FFXIV is 300+ hours of a what we would consider a continuous Call of Water quest chain with nodding simulator cutscenes and an endgame of glamour and buying cash shop dance moves. Is that what you propose for classic?
(and yeah, tank queues are fast, heals medium, dps can be slow… rdf does not magically fix this balance, even in ffxiv where once you get into an instance you can just spam one button while avoiding damage zones, which, admittedly, is what their instances are about and they do a good job making a solo dance out of it)
People socialize in guild chat and Discord, not dungeon groups. It’s the same on Retail and Classic. RFD or lack of it doesn’t make a difference. If you want to socialize with other players, dungeons are not the proper place for that.
Kek. I quite literally have an active forum thread about how conversations are not the definition of social interaction. And not even the most ardent RDFers have disagreed.
So how about you enjoy stoners talking about weed while i enjoy peeps focusing on the tasks at hand and interacting as a team and please don’t BS me.
WoTLK dungeons are the same way without RDF. No one chats at all or says anything because everyone is slamming through it as fast as possible with no need to discuss anything. You’re grouping with strangers to kill mobs as fast as possible and finish the dungeon. No one has time to talk and there is nothing to talk about. RDF does nothing to change any of this.
Uhh… No. Nobody said that at all or mentioned anything like that. Final Fantasy was just used as an example of a successful MMO that uses an RDF finder.
People are stating that RDF makes the game less social. FFXIV shows that, that argument is silly and that a game can be successful with RFD and won’t cause any kind of negative effects to the social aspect of the game.
you have a right to your opinions, just dont try and pass them off as fact. it does NOT make all other forms of leveling obsolete. maybe it does for YOU but it doesnt for me. i still quest, i still get the achievements for questing, for exploring, i still farm mats… still out and about in the world. and all LFG has ever done for me is get insulted, made to wait hours on end and maybe get one run every couple of days.
if they did they would just be called a liar because it didnt happen to anti rdfers. they asked me to relate some of my experiences between rdf and lfg and when i did most of my rdf were good experiences, with most of my lfg being bad. they flamed me for lying and saying that my experiences could never have happened. did some research only to find that every time someone shares their positive rdf experiences they get attacked in mass by the alt troll army.
what we have here is someone that NEEDS the validation from the VIRTUAL world that his real life doesnt give him. its typical of the anti rdf crowd…
imagine fighting so hard to deny other people their gaming experience so that he can get “intrinisic value” from his VIDOE GAME instead of putting all that effort into bettering his real life. if it wasnt so sad i would be laughing.
Because he claimed not being able to socialize with people because of RDF, but clearly never put forth any effort to do so but still for some reason tries to blame RDF. Which would make it a troll post which makes it in turn a bad post.
Is it easier now that I explained things simpler for you?
