Or just put rdf in the game and be done with it. I’m sorry you think you should get to tell other people how to play the game.

I agree with you, but Brian “I had a love affair in WC and now I want to delete LFD” Birmingham wants to protect muh community so much that I’m willing to have this compromise in there. I do agree that LFD as it was originally should just be added in.

Yes, its terrible because the option to look for people on your server already exist. So if that is your thing please spam away and have fun. Let everyone else who was looking forward to rdf have theirs as well.
i’m pretty sure he was bullied in rdf for poor performance and has a complex over it now…

Isn’t that what you’re doing?
no, i don’t think he is, i doubt he is against the LFG tool being in the game also.
Which i find to be fine also, having them both in gives players the agency to approach content how they wish.
There is no reason to compromise, why add 15 minutes to each individual queue time… there is no reason to touch RDF… So yeah I read this very dumb compromise.

No toby, I am not trying to take away the ability to spam in chat. I dont want to tell others how to play so if thats your thing have fun.
No.

Other then getting a solution that benefits the most players, not just you. It would not add 15mins to queue times, you’ll be waiting that long with RDF anyway as DPS and as tank / heals it will be almost instant regardless.

It does add some time to the queue but on average it will be less than 15 minutes.
I think the math for average wait time increase will depend on the percentage of in demand players on your realm compared to the region/battlegroup.
It might be worth exploring going cross realm not based on time-in-queue but maybe players in queue, players who have queued recently, and/or estimated wait time.
Also, I’m sorry your thread keeps getting moved out of the appropriate forum :X
if you add 15 minutes for me to look for a group added with everyone else on my server that is also stuck looking 15 minutes ( because 80% are dps) I will have to wait 15 minutes not to get a group to then start looking for the 30 minute max wait time that DPS usually takes to find a group with RDF-Cross realmed… you are literally increasing a 30 min max queue to 45 min max queue… use your head kiddo. Lets also not talk about the programming nightmare you are suggesting… when the easiest developer solution… is just use what you have.
No because you’d go into the cross-realm queue having already waited 15 minutes, so you’ll have prio on tanks compared to players on that tank’s server who queued < 15 minutes ago.
It’s also not a difficult implementation at all. In fact it’s hard to imagine a simpler suggestion from an implementation standpoint.
Like just for some context, adding a graphic to the RDF panel is probably more annoying to do than what the OP is suggesting.

Is Toby a reference im not getting?
No cross server at all whatsoever. It was a mistake to give us the patch with cross realm bgs, and it would be an even bigger mistake to have any other cross realm features touch any aspect of the game. Cross realm is a scourge of modern MMO’s.
Auto-grouping with no communication kills the social aspect, auto teleport kills immersion. The only compromise is improving the group listing tool.

Your math doesn’t check out, your queue position for cross server would start from the moment you queue.
Nice level 10 alt for posting.
a mistake? Oh man you know what I wanna do when I queue for BG’s is not run any BGs… wtf is this nonsense… same faction BG’s was a life-saver.
Cross server bgs should have never happened. It would be infeasible to get rid of it now because of blizzards negligence on servers (unless you love fighting your own faction everytime), but if they put effort into keeping servers healthy from day 1, cross server bgs should never be a thing.

If “Finding a group” is the social aspect of your dungeon run, then it’s already failed as a social construct.
However, the toggle suggestion would enable you to maintain only being grouped with people on your server who you could befriend and talk to during the dungeon run, and continue playing with later.
