RDF was added at the END of Wrath

When ICC was released, so was Random Dungeon Finder.

This was needed at the time because most people didn’t need to do Heroics anymore, so it was hard to find a group.

There is no reason why Wrath Classic should be different.

Just add Random Dungeon Finder later in the Expansion, when its actually hard to make a group., not at the beginning where the groups are plentiful.

It was around for half the expansion, in the same patch the game is releasing as. Since RDF doesn’t add new content(dungeons/raids/zones/factions/etc) and is simply a QoL improvement, it falls in line with the other QoL improvements and balance changes made in patch 3.3

I see you have 0 posts though. I wonder who you’re the alt of?

So you are arguing that it is needed like a month into wrath then? You don’t really need badges after like 4-5 days of world tour

So true. Maybe even faster. Joke league not putting RDF into the game from the start. Its like fighting to make the game worse if you don’t want it.

I WANT FEWER GROUPS RUNNING, I WANT CONTENT TO BE NOT USED, THIS IS ALL ABOUT ME ME ME… Seriously… just put RDF into the game to fix all these problems from happening Blizzard.

I don’t disagree that it’s easier to find groups when there is content that’s “new” for most of the population of that server (new, as in, players have mains or alts that still want to play that content). The gotcha here is that none of this content is actually new. Players blow through it because they’ve already done it to death. So unless you are moving through content at roughly the same pace as the bulk of players, you get stuck picking the bones of what’s left or maybe catching someone’s alt or 2nd alt or 3rd alt passing through.

RDF is often blamed for the decline of WoW, but the decline of WoW was the decline of new players. RDF was an answer to the problem of a population with dwindling interest in most of the content. It was there to help the few remaining players that weren’t just logging on to raid find the other few remaining players who still wanted to play the rest of the game. The WoW Classic population does not have a constant influx of new players like vanilla and TBC and even Wrath at the start; the active population varies, but there isn’t any real growth. So, the need for a RDF-style system to matchmake players isn’t only present towards the end-of-life of an expansion, the need is there shortly after every new content patch (give or take).
