Where are you getting fast runs from?
Guaranteed runs has been something we have been asking for leveling dungeons and regular heroic dungeons that are no longer relevant currently in Wrath.
I have played those expansions during their hay day to current day.
RDF (and LFR) aren’t really problems as you anti-rdfers think they are in retail.
Because reasoning behind it is bad.
This is not 2006-2009 pre RDF anymore, nobody goes to a dungeon and talk about how their day has been anymore.
Re-release of classic and Wrath without RDF hasn’t changed anything or achieved any goals that the development team was hoping it would, people now and days see as each other as a means to an end rather then a potential friend (I’m not saying that friendships during or after a dungeon does not happen), it hasn’t really made communities out of it as far I’m aware and server communities hasn’t mattered in classic since like mega servers became a thing.
At the end of the day, regardless what you think about RDF, its lack of existence hasn’t changed anything of what you complained about RDF, I used to think RDF ruined the game years ago but now that classic has been out for years now, the things I have used to complain about with RDF is pretty much present in classic right now.
Where are you getting the 2 hour queue from?
Minimum I get into a group in 5-15 minutes after queuing up, the maximum I have been in queue for is 30 minutes as a dps for a dungeon in retail.
2 hours is a maybe for queuing on raid finder for a previous raid tier.
Anti RDFer’s try to not resort to “Go back to retail” or “go play cod/LoL/Dota” (Mythic difficulty).
Also LFG is pretty much a lobby game for dungeons so.
If anyone has a brain, they would tell you that sitting in Stormwind/Orgrimmar while waiting for a queue to pop is inefficient.
Your better off questing and queuing for dungeons.
Heres the thing, I don’t mind putting groups together… but whenever I put together a group for say a regular heroic dungeon, it may take more time then forming for a beta dungeon because simply the fact is that many people are doing beta dungeons or efficient ways to gear up like Wintergrasp every 3 hours and if you don’t want to do wintergrasp, your kinda left in the dust.
Leveling dungeons are kinda facing a same issue as well.
As I said to Tyrmaull. RDF isn’t really a problem your side keeps thinking it is for sub decline, there are problems that outweigh it more but given I’m responding to you and you will swear up and down that RDF is the cause of recent expansion failures when its not RDF is not the reason why those expansions failed.
Nah it can’t be held responsible.
I have played retail through its ups and downs throughout the years, through its downs, RDF can’t be responsible for them.
WoD was just a disappointment, it over promised on alot of things but when it shipped, it was a disappointment, Only thing from that expansion that was good was leveling and raiding imo. Did RDF cause this?
Legion at the end was a good expansion but it suffered early on in the expansion with bad legendary RNG and then this the expansion where it started the AP grind that some people liked or hated, Legions AP grind was alt unfriendly and was spec unfriendly because you had 2, 3 or 4 weapons depending on your class to level. Did RDF cause this?
BFA had issues throughout the expansion, you had azerite gear where if you acquire new pieces you wouldn’t be able to use them till you get to a certain level and traits are pretty much the most boring and uninspired, this got fixed in the next tier, essences were cool but they were alt unfriendly and sometimes your bis essence can come from content that you personally dont enjoy (cough conflict and strife for WW monks in PvE cough), Acquistion for corruptions come from pure RNG until they got put on a vendor and pre-vendor it was bad. Did RDF cause this?
Oh boy don’t get me started with Shadowlands…
I saw a couple of posts dropping R words at people from you… surely its not any of your doing… right?
