Can we all just stop with the “tourist” bull. It is just a thinly veiled insult designed to add additional drama to the discussion. There is no such thing as a tourist in WoW, if you play the game, you play the game.
Resorting to insults regardless of what form they take degrades the discussion and makes your entire post garbage.
This is true, blizzards loses income. Guess that happens when devs let thier guilds dictate what is good for the rest of the player base. Conflict of interests anyone? Gatekeeping is strong there. Saving 30/month dosen’t sound bad. I am giving it to icc. Unless they say, this is the hill, they are planting thier flag on. Some recent thoughts on in it.
Then…
Hope Microsoft gets the purchase through and cleans house.
We have been told no that Classic WoW won’t happen for years and when this idea was brought up in the General discussion forum, it gets shut down by a Wall of No and the people there would tell you give it up already years ago but here we are.
Off-topic... two other things that blizzard said no on but walked back on due to feedback.
Blizzard said no on in WoD is flying being added in WoD and future expansions after WoD in retail WoW but after that backlash, flying is added in WoD and in future expansions through a grind (except Dragonflight, you get dragon riding really early on).
Blizzard said no on easing the restrictions on Covenants in Shadowlands when it was still in development but months later after release of Shadowlands, Blizzard eased on those restrictions, meaning you can swap covenants freely, even if you have been with them previously.
If the current LFG tool was cross realm (only to dungeons and maybe old raids to an extent) and it reworked to be similar to retail’s LFG to where it might have more success than what we have currently than I would drop this RDF thing, coming from somebody that is pro-RDF.
Well lets be honest here, if RDF is a bridge too far then cross server is too. They’ve stated they want server based solutions. It means there’s going to be pain on small servers.
It’s a shame there are so many people on layers that could be on smaller servers.
The only reason you have Classic is because thousands and thousands of people played on these private servers. You can say what you want about stealing but I’m paying a sub, so I’m doing my part to support the version of the game I enjoy.
And we both know that is a lie! Its to sell boosts and to get people back into (woktail) where they can milk you. Whatever dragonflight is, its not WoW thats for sure.
Then why is there no RDF? as every successful Wrath Pserver has had it with zero issues, obligatory “Warmane took it away and the players got upset” reference. Blizz should have just said they didn’t wanna code it or recode it instead of scapegoating the player base or consistently dangling a “maybe” response whenever asked.
Why is it that pro RDF threads tend to resort to name-calling?
I’m not particularly for or against, but it seems clear that the game is doing fine without RDF (which it wouldn’t have at this timeline anyway). Looking at https://ironforge.pro/population/classic/overall/ overall demographics for raid logs since the launch of WoW Classic, it appears that there are roughly double the numbers now than there were for WoW Classic and TBC Classic (which were both fairly consistent with each other).
While we could certainly make up some narratives to read the data we have confirm our own biases, Wrath Classic seems to be popular.
There has already been a blue post confirming that Blizzard aimed to settle the topic prior to launch.
So, it’s not as if they’ve left us hanging and wondering if maybe it’s coming…
