I’m assuming you’re talking about the fun police comment. If you don’t relate to “fun police” you probably have only played for a short time. It’s been the case from as early as I remember in this game where if you dont play to their narrative they nerf it. It’s their prerogative to do this, but expecting us to like it isn’t realistic.

You are ignoring the alternative in your fact quoting below this. Ofc the population is ok. The alternative is retail? Dragonflop isn’t this demographics cup of tea.

Because they are scared to piss off the 5% against RDF. We all know it’s easier to add something than it is to take it away. Thus their stance.

The tool is absolute Garbo. Is it barely functional? yes. But it’s a substitute for something (RDF) that was already in the game.

The bulletin addon was proof the community wanted it.

My favorite rebuttals to anti RDF Andy’s is

Don’t use the in game intern made tool if you’re against RDF, wouldn’t want the tool to get in the way of your social. Also, walk to the dungeon don’t fly, wouldn’t wanna interrupt your immedsion. And don’t PvP because they literally have LFD right now. They don’t form their own groups it’s automated. You don’t travel to your bg. It teleports you. Comical how that’s somehow ok, but godforbid LFG gets added for PVE. “But they’re different”. “SURRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE it is.

I’ve been playing since Beta, but that’s not important. Trying to tell a story, paint a picture, or otherwise show the person’s character or experience in a negative light is avoiding the topic. That’s what I was referring to, and that’s what seems to be consistent with a lot of the pro RDF threads.

Another thing seems to suggest that the pro RDF folks are hoping to continuously level alts through Dungeon Spamming, which I did on 4 characters for WoW Classic, and then 1 more (from level 1) for TBC Classic as well as 3 from 60-70. Actually, forming Dungeon Leveling guilds was a great way to create community, in my experience.

As far as “fun police,” I’m familiar with the “fun detected” meme, but keep in mind that even though I’ve been playing WoW since beta, I only started frequenting the forums after the launch of WoW Classic.

This is also the same type of narrative that pro RDFers seem to proliferate. It seems reasonable that people who don’t want or don’t care about RDF would not post on the forums to complain about it (since there’s nothing to complain about. We don’t have it). However, there are still a lot of people posting against RDF.

The truth is, we don’t know what % is for or against or does not care. Pretending otherwise is just proliferating falsities.

There’s no real debate though. We have RDF in Retail. We don’t have it in Classic. The developers have stated quite clearly,

And we have had ample time to plan accordingly. The game is doing quite well, population-wise…

Of course, there is no new conversation within this topic. Everything for and against has already been discussed and at this point it simply comes down to:

Pro: “I want RDF”
Anti: “I want no RDF.”
Neutral: “I don’t care.”

And here we are. :woman_shrugging:

And:
Blizzard: “The topic is settled.”

Considering that you have trolls spam bumping month old threads to make it look like everyone wants RDF…

Blizzard should probably ignore you.

The thing is Blizzard already made their decision and honestly the spam posts should be an auto disqualification from RDF ever happening.

Pro RDF trolls wizzed on the carpet and Blizzard needs to rub your noses in it. Maybe next time you’ll be better people.

The issue that I have with them looking into server based solutions is because this varies of the servers population and also varies on the activity on those said servers.

Sure there are servers that have a active leveling scenes for all levels but not all servers have this and it varies on what faction you are playing and is it outnumbered or not?

I dont know any of the Server based solutions, unless if Blizzard has some solutions than maybe I will change my mind but I find it hard to find one that might work, hence why I see a cross realm LFG working possibly or RDF albeit a limited form? like capped out at 70 or it prioritizing your server only up to certain threshold if cant find someone in a reasonable time and would ask you if you want to expand to cross realm to fill that one last person.

Its nice to see the forums cleaned up for once. You all talk about personal freedom yet have no regard for how your own free actions encroach upon the rights of others,

I have no say in any of this. But we went from a front page flooded with RDF threads to a normal diversity of topics. Just with a simple vacation.

I hope Blizzard is paying attention to unique posts/threads vs those made by the same person on multiple licenses and bnets.

its normal to have several RFD threads and normal posts that one guy necroed them.

You’ve just convinced me to go reinstate my Twitter account. Thank you.

How? Let me guess, so you can vet your groups and not invite any leather wearers? You can still do that even with RDF in the game.

well please use your voice as a wow community member to push the debate because I just created new charecters 1 at level 30 and one at level 71 and its sad how the world is empty at least RDF is able to bring players together to do dungeon and will solve the boosting community problem instead of nerfing the xp ho and to improve the social interaction just make it that RDF doesn’t automatically teleport to the dungeon even if I don’t think that’s the problem. No RDF brings more problems because 1 the world is empty since :

  1. no one wants to make alts which makes the world shallow

  2. There is a barrier to entry at level 80 for heroic since we dont all have the same gear and group leaders might discriminate against certain players for that,

  3. it cannot destroy a non-existing community since no one is talking in group chat anyway.

  4. I spend more time afk at looking at the LFG too than actually playing and do some questing while waiting.

Please this issue must be addressed somewhere with more visibility because wotlk doesnt have the same population anymore, the players doesnt have the same times as before and the game was great because of those quality of life improvement.

The issue is the teleport is more than half the value. Alliance especially gets absolutely shafted for early level dungeons. You only have Deadmines. RFC is impossible, Wailing Caverns is highly unlikely, same along with RFK and RFD, SFK is probably the worst of the bunch. BFD isn’t too bad especially now with the boat in Stormwind, but the point still stands.

What do you do when you’re questing in Loch Modan? Sign up for Deadmines, but then you need to fly to IF, take tram, walk to Westfall and then show up at the entrance 20 minutes later, those 20 minutes of travel is the time it would have been to finish the dungeon. Except now it took you 40 instead of 20.

Ret seems to be the new RDF. They are competing side by side this Sunday.

Hey I have no job/career or a wife, and nothing better to do other than no life a 15 year old game so I’m against RDF hahahaha. Also, I leveled 8 alts to 80 in the first week cuz ive found mankriks wife a hunred times already. It gets me off and I enjoy having what little power I have over other humans because I have none irl haha. ------The 5 people on here that are constantly adamant against RDF, as well as the top devs who are rich enough to not have to work. I’m glad you’re happy nerds.
