The world became barren as soon as flying mounts went in.
If it wasn’t a resource node or a pack needed for a daily quest, good luck finding people.
The world isn’t less barren because you see people on a flight path to the dungeon, especially when they are going there on a flying mount straight from Dalaran.
Youre literally just adding random extra stuff to my facts. Yes LFG made the world more Barren. Yes flying in azeroth also helped that.
I disagree that LFD made the world more barren. Not having LFD in doesn’t get people out of Dalaran doing things.
It just makes them spend more time in Dalaran looking for a group.
It’s easy to argue that LFD helps to get people out of Dalaran more, as the teleportation aspect of it meant that you could be out doing anything else while the queue was running.
When the grouping is manual, and you have to fly there, you are much more bound to stay ready to head over to the dungeon.
Idk who you play with but outside of raid nights nobodies sitting in Shatt looking for groups lol
It’s called SoM, and it’s not exactly a wildfire success.
SoM isnt classic plus lol. But okay.
Yeah, those players that would be queueing for a 5 man just log off because grouping up is a pain in the neck and there’s nothing to do outside of the few daily hubs.
TBC is also a desolate world even without LFD.
LFD doesn’t make the problem worse.
It is the closest your getting to the copium fantasy that is some entirely alternate release of WoW expansions.
Brian confirmed Perky will be in but how we obtain without RDF is not yet communicated
They’ve already stated that they’re going to be adding that pet in some other way though didn’t say anything more than that.
My guess is that they’re going to add it to a vendor or try to somehow relate it to dungeons, might make it a drop off a boss or something.
It was literally in wrath. Also how long can we say “not in the spirit of classic” when we are 3 expansions deep at this point
Its a Wrath philosophy, therefore it belongs in wrath.
Pretty sure they mentioned the pug so it may come.
Ahh so you are a wrath baby, the crying all makes sense now
Care to expand on what is so convenient in retail?
What is convenient about:
Time gated renown
CDs on changing traits
Getting a key busted because you didn’t clear fast enough
Raids tuned for the top 5% with addons
Inability to swap covenants without penalty
Extreme RNG loot
Maps that aren’t even connected to run through
Time gating flying
Restrictions on trading loot to guild members that need it
Extremely expensive legendaries
RNG dependent dps
agreed OP, locking players out of this fun little pet that was in original wrath was clearly an anti-social and unfriendly decision.
Man if it would be that popular, maybe youre in the minority 
The perky pug will have to be converted into a rideable mount for the WoTLK collectors edition!
The perky pug will be a part of the pre-launch level 70 boost package and the anti-RDF trolls will spam the forums with threads about how it means RDF isn’t coming again.
with all the changes they’re making to wrath classic I wouldn’t be surprised.
