You clueless fool that’s not even slightly true. People often choose the harder path because it works better or simply for the extra challenge.
That’s not true either. I had friends that wanted to get achievements that usually couldn’t be done with rdf. They formed groups manually. I always tried to start a group with friends and guildies before joining rdf and sometimes I found a full group and didn’t need the rdf. If we could do it why couldn’t you? If you had friends and a good guild you could start groups without the rdf. Clearly you had no friends in original wrath.
You can claim that all you want. As I said before I’ll just think you’re lying. In my experience it doesn’t and many people have posted pics of the lfg from other servers in prime times showing few to no one using it.
I never said anything about efficiency. I didn’t even use the word once. This is just more bs you’re pulling out of your az because you have nothing rational to say.
Yes, that would be the path of least resistance. But often people don’t choose the path of least resistance. Just as choosing not to level an alt, or not doing dungeons, or just raid logging is the path of least resistance that many are choosing because the lfg tool doesn’t work. The problem has existed from day one of wow. It was a constant complaint for years until rdf was added and solved the problem. Best addition to the game ever.
If you think forming a group is fun I pity you. Only someone completely desperate for social contact could possibly find such trivial and meaningless socialization valuable. People who have real friends and actual social interactions don’t attach meaning to the tedium of finding a group. It’s pathetic that you do. You need to find a good therapist and not try to use the game to fill the hole left by your lack of actual social interactions.
