After you had run every heroic at least once. So it’s fairly inaccurate to claim it let you bypass lockouts without fully qualifying exactly the conditions you might get the same heroic twice in one day. So it would be more accurate to say it interacted with lockouts differently but did not bypass them
Which brings up at that point who cares? You couldn’t target a specific heroic for a drop or do the daily more than once.
There was what…16 Wrath dungeons? Oh no a 1/16 chance of getting the same one two times in a row! The important part is that RDF removes the hard limit of how many heroics you can run in a day, which is a good thing. Let players play how they want.
No, you could get the sane heroic multiple times without being locked out to any other.
It was entirely rng and specifically queued based.
Lets say 2 groups beed a tank and are specifically queued for dungeon X. You as a tank queued for random heroic and got i. Group 1. Finished then queued again for random and get in group 2. For the same heroic.
It wasnt common. But it happened. I got the same icc heroic twice in a row when i was using my dk tank back then (who was my alt and i was catching his gear up a bit to tank toc and some icc) with being saved to nothing else. Why? There was a lot of people queuing specifically for that dungeon at the time is my best guess.
Regardless it was still not something you could intentionally game to bypass the lockout. You could RNG into a dungeon twice if you got lucky. And since it forced you to finish the dungeon it had picked you couldn’t fish for one you wanted.
You were not queing for specific you was queing for random that would let you get into an already specific done. How many times and people have to tell you the same thing
You could actually. A lot of people would targetly do the icc and toc dungeons when rdf came out. So you had a much higher chance to get those repeated. So you would do the icc/toc dungeons then do your daily random heroic and still have a decent chance of getting to do the icc/toc dungeons again because so many other people were targetting them specifically.
Sure it wasnt a garentee, but it was much higher than 1/16 chance.
I don’t think that was the case until later on into wrath after ICC had launched and all the heroics were out. I know you could do it with the normal dungeons.
He made a big point comparing RDF to guild banks. Guild banks came in like 10 months earlier in Classic than original. By his own example RDF should have been in when Naxx was added.
You don’t understand what gatekeeping means. Simply choosing not to play with you is categorically not gatekeeping. It would only be gatekeeping if they could physically block you from entering the instance or forming your own group.
