Oh yeah, people just wanna do the same quests they’ve done 100 times already cause that’s a load of fun.
People really really crave that single player experience when they click play for an MMO after all.

Again, more whataboutism. One doesn’t need to download addons to achieve this. Forming relationships with people doesn’t require any addons.
The AH flipping wheb done right is the most efficent but has a VERY high bar of entry to control the market enough to make that massive profit.
Dungeon farming (usually solo or duo) is the most efficent if you cant control the market, its not usually CURRENT dungeons but with rdf in game and botting already being an issue i would not be suprised to see fully botted rdf runs for massive gold generation. Skipping bosses and killing primarily trash with massive aoe pulls. Rdf lets you ignore lockouts, so going to fast isnt an issue. The hardest part would be the scripting of the bots based on different instances, but thats more than doable with todays technology.
“Nobody runs dungeons to make friends” like thats what they meant.
“Nobody talks in dungeons” like thats true.
1 Ulduar gdkp is going to be 10k+ in like 3-4 hours.
If anyone wanted to actually make gold they would just make a 2nd toon for gdkps like I did.
Okay, you’re clueless.
You cannot get to the point of having those relationships without having to go through the step requiring you to somehow interpret the /LookingForGroup channel. It’s literally impossible.
This isn’t a whataboutism, you just lucked out and got into a guild (where the social experience actually is, HOORAY) before you needed to use /LFG chat.
/LFG chat is a HORRIBLE experience.
And if you think otherwise you’ve never tried it without Bulletin Board.

If I joined the game and used LFG chat the odds I’d meet a real a REAL ID friend is pretty low.

Right, thats why they pay mages and pallies to dungeon boost them so they dont have to look for a group or quest.
Generally the case.
If you meet someone you hit it off with, sure. But you run the actual dungeon for loot, experience and some fun.
Generally true as well.
Courtesies like “hi” and “gg bye” is hardly peak conversation.

Damages realm identity
Removes one of the primary encouragements of why people should socialize, which in turn damages socialization
Kills open world social activities like inviting people on the same quest as you because it will mess up your spot in queue
Kills opportunity for social interactions to happen wheb traveling to the dungeon
Effectively removes how some guild recruit for raids from being possible due to cross realm restrictions for raids and dungeons having been their primary recruitment method.
The list goes on.

LOL, in a game where people have been transferring freely all over the place to the point of creating mono faction servers up until 3 months ago when the servers got locked this is a joke, right?
But, this doesn’t happen now.
Who in the hell talks while travelling to a dungeon? You’re flying overhead at 280% speed, you don’t actually see anyone.
LOL.
Which is?
Should you really be required to socialize for a 10 minute dungeon run? Maybe apply for a passport as well?

omg, you were so close!!! you were right about the AH. you get 15 dungeons in a day. with the RDF system thats 208 gold. if you’re getting close to 25 mark say its just 20 you can make roughly close to 3-400 gold. almost double doing dungeons. and you can close the game out and go do other activities. those dungeons if you’re solo queuing could take any where from 10-20 minutes of wait on a good estimate to 30 minutes or longer. and thats just to get into the dungeon. never mind the time some of those dungeons take. if they take 15 minutes. thats 25 minutes up to 45 minutes. thats a little over 6 hours and 15 minutes time spent running dungeons. thats hella inefficient. sorry bro at most 20-25 dailies takes an 90 minutes to 2 hours at most. try again fam. and thats traveling between quests.
Right now no it doesn’t.
But in 1 day if 1000 people get that extra gold. Thats 26000 more gold just from 1000 people doing a dungeon a day.
That is 780,000g per 30 days added to the economy thaf wouldnt have been there otherwise. And thats assuming ONLY 1000 people did it on that server just once a day.
It has a very noticeable impact when you look large scale over time.
So entirely subjective and happen regardless of RDF.
Please provide an objective reason RDF is bad.
this doesn’t exist in 2023 for pugs. it does in your guild.
26 gold never meant a damned thing to the WotLK economy when a weapon from the VERY FIRST QUEST YOU EVER DO IN NORTHREND sells for 12g.
26g is a drop in a piss bucket that not a single person but you cares about.
