i’d equate it more of a casino battle royale ladder match. legit you got one of the biggest liars in the game and one of most disingenuous and bad faith arguers in the game arguing with people presenting logic and reason.
anyone remember the players screeching at blizzard about the AP grind of legion bfa and SL? pepperidge farms remembers.
Nevertheless, that’s the route they went with.
What? It’s a game.
You play it to have fun.
People don’t want to spend hours looking for a group to do content they outlevel in those hours they spend doing.
Having RDF would genuinely make my expected time spent getting groups worse.
But you’d never understand wanting something for the betterment of the game rather than your own personal little world.
The point right now is that the sentiment is that it’s not coming back ever.
Are you expecting it to return without people making noise about it? Cause then you’re naive. Very naive.
you are not wrong.
Odd, took me just a few minutes to make a mana tombs group last night, and thats a leveling dungeon. I also got into a SH a few minutes after (took a bio break or it likely would have been sooner) and there was only 1 repeat person in said group not including myself because he wasnt a pug, he was one of my friends alts. Its just so strange that you take so long to get a group yet i can get them so quickly and so regularly. As if, its how you are going about doing it or something.
The initial responce to AP in legion was good. The first few weeks. Blizzard saw that and doubled down on the design of bfa and shadow lands from it. By the time the negative feedback got loud they had already out most of the overall design work into bfa and shadowlands, and would have been to costly to start over on them.
They themselves said this in an interview, no i dont have this interview saved though.
But this isnt new development. They coukd out rdf in relatively easily. Which means current data that they can see points to no rdf still being the right choice.
And now you’re the good guy taking a self sacrifice for the good of all! Lol. You cant make this level of delusion up people.
People who want to do dungeons will do dungeons. People who dont will wonder why noone bothers inviting them as they sit in queue as the 347th DK or paladin saying they are a dps.
You can go look at this name on the EU forums, it’s something I’ve said since the start.
Yes, I want the game to be populated and fresh.
Why is this shocking to you?
What is shocking is you believing rdf is some kind of miracle cure that will make everyone love the game and make everyone level and make everyone play at 3am, exc. It wont. It won’t have the effects you seem to be hoping for. If you even believe all of that and arent trying to use it as propaganda.
Because that is LITERALLY what happened when it got added.
We’ve been here before. I dunno how many times I need to tell you.
We’ve literally been down this path before.

It has exactly the effect people want it to have, it allows groups to form when they otherwise can’t.
What RDF doesn’t have is all the negative impact you pretend it does.

It also kicked the game into the retail cliff, that is metaphorically what happened.
So you dont remember them bribing tanks to fix rdf wait times in cata, or them making gear adaptive to make being an off tank easier, or them reworking tanks as a whole to try and make more people try tanking, exc.
They made dozens of other changes throughout rdf being in the game to try and fix the fact its wait times kept going up for dps. But ya, you want to ignore that part right?
Pro tip this is wrath not Cata.

How? RDF is barely used on retail.
So how did a system that’s barely used kick the game into the state where it’s barely used?

What part of “when it got added” did you miss?
Cataclysm is a whole other utterly irrelevant can of worms.
As in literal whataboutism. You have nothing. Nada. Zilch.

The absolutely, delicious, hysterical irony here is while you are all trying to prove to everyone and Blizzard that RDF is totally necessary and mocking their social aspect reasons for keeping it out, you just go ahead and make their case for them by being antisocial jerks to people on an internet forum.
You’ve abused your anonymity and your place here to troll people, over next to nothing I might add. Blizzard is not giving you the same anonymity and relative ease to do it to people in their game.
Getting a group in an MMO is not a right, its something you have to earn. You also tend to want to pick your groupmates so one of them isn’t a jerk or an idiot. That’s why RDF was a mistake in the first place - and keep in mind it was wasn’t put in to solve problems or because the social fabric had already eroded to a bot like experience.
They put it in to make the game more accessible so more people would pay the box price, pay the monthly sub fee and perhaps buy stuff off their cash shop - yknow, like the former CEO who was there before and after Activision said the reason accessibility went too far in one direction. It had worked for them to a point and then it just didn’t work anymore. Greed is funny like that.
So when we talk about the betterment of the game, the right decision was already made and its no ones fault but yourself that you cant grasp that.

I don’t think you understand the phrase “hysterical irony” at all.
I’ve used a starter account with the exact same name I use on my main, but as a European player I can’t post here.
If you think I’m creating another paid account to post on these forums you’re effing delusional.
And this is how games die.
Games have to be, yanno, fun.
