Sorry - I guess I’m still sitting here waiting for a sampling of the “thousands of posts about how bad RDF is”. If you need help, you can filter google search results with a date range. With thousands of them, I’m sure you can find, oh let’s say 12? A solid dozen should do.

truth. love the “community” and “social” nonsense they give us though.
I have paid for the same 10 accounts every single month since classic came out. That doesn’t cover server transfers and the mount+boost bundles for each account. I also buy every collector’s edition possible for each account.
You paying a whopping 300 in subs and thinking your voice holds more weight than the voice of anyone else is a joke.

I’ve already defeated this post if you notice Jon stopped replying after he was successfully defeated. I don’t need to do the research for you. Being the one whose wrong and not getting RDF it’s upon you to use the google machine and find all the posts from 2009-2011 crying about how RDF killed the game.
Begone.
My man touch grass plz.
Not how research works buddy.
You make a claim that “there are thousands of posts saying X”
It isn’t my job to research your claim, it is your job to back up your claim with proof. Now you can dance around the whole “I refuse to google stuff for you” - at which point I have no further reasons to take anything you say seriously, why would I? You can’t even back up the crap you spew out of your mouth, yet you want others to agree with your arguments? Please, my 11-year-old kid can present a better argument than this.

Yea I highly doubt that if their mother is a lazy entitled pro RDFer
I guess your wow end game is 5 mans? This makes sense, 5 man heroics are your ultimate achievements and you don’t want anyone taking that thunder away. I mean, we’re at the end of an expansion and you still have blue gear. My retail hunter has all 25m heroic ICC & Cata Achievements, 5 man dungeons are not my pinnacle of gameplay, they are simply a stepping stone for gear to raid endgame. It isn’t that I’m lazy, it’s that I don’t enjoy wasting hours every day trying to find a group for a 5-man. I have a life outside of the game, you’ll find many people aside from you do as well.

You pvers are hilarious. I don’t have a single piece of blue gear but go off and have a tantrum. Your tears fuel my desire to never see RDF implemented in classic
Wait - I’m cracking up here. You consider yourself a PvPer and you’re crying this hard about RDF? Holy crap.
And apologies, it does look like that armory was a couple of months old. I assume your ilvl is closer to 160 than 120 now, right? BiS everything? Surely someone as elitist as you has full BiS gear.

I’m not crying at all? I’m simply laughing at the pro RDFers. There’s a big difference. What you’re doing is more in line with crying and whining cus you’re not getting your way.
Yay for RDF. Boo for current Blizz’s dev leader.

I don’t think I’m on armory? I’m in full s3 and have full t5. I skipped out on P6 cus real life stuff.
I think Blizzard is just a bit out of touch with the on-the-ground realities of the game, and are more trying to navigate “fixes” for situations they just cannot reign in or control.
Primary example: PvP servers do not exist. There’s nothing they can do to stop congregation and segregation of server populations, other than just block character creation… which would be bad. At this point, they should just link servers and add War Mode to cultivate a balanced World PvP experience. BLASPHEMY I know… I even agree. But the truth is that I haven’t had one genuine World PvP experience on the PvP servers I play on since TBCC launched, at least not like it was in 2004-2008. Sure I’ll get one shot while leveling, or a rogue pops out of a dungeon entrance here and there… but nothing like the actual rivalries and conquests of old.
Which brings us to the “community feel” and “spirit of the original” of not doing RDF. This too is not going to go as planned. RDF allowed for levelers to look region-wide to complete dungeon quests and story content that their server community had largely dried up on. RDF allowed for everyone to be on an equal playing field when finding content without having to worry about gearscore, meta spec, loot rules, etc. RDF provided engagement for shorter, casual sessions at end game for alts and such.
If the players cared so much about preserving the “spirit of the original”, they wouldn’t flock to 99% PvP servers where no PvP happens. Likewise, the dungeon running community is going to be nothing like the “spirit of the original” because a) players play the game wildly differently now… and b) the ORIGINAL had RDF. End of story.
“Positive relationships build community, reduce toxicity, and forge friendships that have kept players coming back to our game for many years. We need to nurture and protect these relationships. One very big key to this is providing “Social Proximity” in our game, or what some cognitive scientists call “Repeat serendipitous interactions”. Put a little more simply, you need multiple interactions over time with the same people in a way that feels happy or beneficial. Classic WoW provided this in abundance, where you would often meet the same people from day to day while running through the Stranglethorn Jungle, on your way to a Scarlet Monastery run, or heading into Blackrock Mountain for a raid.”
Go watch the announcement video of wrath that was when they first mentioned no dungeon finder and referenced what i said.
Do the full RESEARCH before replying.

The problem with RDF imo has always been the people you have to deal with. I lived it through the first time and what was a great idea got plagued with toxic people. I would be fine if it pulled ONLY from the server you play on.

LoL! Post your own references.
Agree. RDF is the way to make the game better. Because that is what WotLK was and is to the people that want to play it. Why suddenly do vanilla players get to force their way on WotLK?
