RDF should be Server Based only, not Cross Realm

If Blizz is to implement RDF, it should be server based only. Cross Realm incites trolls, ninja looters and toxic players.

Well, the most toxic players in the history of WoW exist right now in Classic without RDF so that’s simply not true.

Ninja looters? Again, has nothing to do with RDF. Reputation means nothing and name changes exist even if it did. On top of that, if you lose a roll with RDF…who cares? You can be back in a dungeon right away. It removes the daily lockout. Run them to your heart’s content. Not getting a drop suddenly is no big whoop.

There is nothing about RDF that encourages anything that doesn’t already exist. And at least there’s protections in RDF like the vote kick system. The accessibility and convenience mitigate any kind of poor behavior or ‘bad time’ you might have.

It’s literally only positives.

That’s simply not true. If you need reasons to why it’s not, feel free to read up on the 100s of RDF threads.

Literally defeats the point if a server is dead. try again troll

A server that’s struggling to find groups without RDF will still struggle to find groups with RDF.

People keep ignoring the fact that RDF won’t pop players out of thin air.

Edit:

Brian has said that they don’t want two things in particular: a system that does the group forming for you, and they don’t want players to be instantly teleported to the dungeons. RDF does those two things, so I don’t think it will be coming any time soon.

Dead servers shouldn’t exist though,

Blizz should continually monitor populations and merge where/when needed.

Or at the very least offer more frequent free transfers from dead realms.

It’s very hard to enjoy the MM part of MMO without good healthy servers

except thats what lfg is doing now, and removing cross realm rdf removes the purpose of rdf of expanding the available player pool.

Nah should be cross-realm… whats the point of doing it without it? Small servers already are getting shafted.

I guess you can always vote kick someone if the group feels that someone is ninja looting in cross realm RDF… something you cant do currently in wotlk, and i think ive seen more people “ninja” looting aswell in this iteration of Wotlk then when i played Wotlk back when it was current and RDF was added in later.

a good reason to add RDF would be to help these smaller servers out, this might even help people with getting ready for raiding on those smaller servers

Do you also think that forks make people fat?

If there simply isn’t enough people on a dead server to forum groups, RDF doesn’t change that.

the entire concept of a server being some isolated island is so out of date its laughable now to even hear that a server is ‘dead’. FF`14 for example not only lets you cross que dungeons, but lets you walk into another server if you feel like it. This vastly expands your potential for friendships, for guilds to work together, for in game events, and for all content to stay relevant and active

if you had any clue how rdf worked you would know what you just said is a flat out lie. rdf cross server would solve the dungeon running issue for small population servers by allowing them to group with players from other servers. will try this to see if you can follow the math…

3 players on server A are unable to find a group because they are the only 3 trying to find a run. on their server there just isnt anyone else wanting to run or available to run.

4 players on server B are unable to find a full group because they are the only 4 on their tiny pop server looking to run something.

12 players on server C are unable to group because of missing healers so they cant get a run on their low pop server.

now, to follow the logic you have to assume RDF has been implemented and is cross server… here comes the hard part for most anti rdf to understand…

all 3 from server A, all 4 from server B, and all 12 from server C que into cross server dungeon finder… now all19 players are in the SAME system all looking for groups… odds are that at least 10 of said players would pop their que within minutes, with the others getting a chance to pop with 20- 30 minutes and all the time NONE of the players having to spam chat and/or sit in a city, they are out farming or questing while they wait for the rdf to pop the entry notice.

now these numbers were limited to small amounts in hopes it would help with the comprehension of said example but the logic is sound AND proven.

I mean ideally they just make it 1-79 across all servers. People are afraid of it “making heroics blah blah blah or other 80s wont be good” who cares. Just implement it for leveling and everyone will be happy right?

This sentence right here just proves you have zero idea what we’re even talking bout. He specifically said it should be SERVER BASED ONLY. If servers don’t have much of a population and struggle to find groups as it is, RDF AS HE THINKS IT SHOULD BE (Server based) doesn’t change that. Read the entire conversation before you put your input in next time.
