And now we don’t have to wait an hour to fill that group out. It’s less than 15 mins even for dps.
Less than a minute for healer (and I assume for tanks too).

Sounds about right. Tanks being the most difficult role is one of the biggest misconceptions in this game
Yea it’s not typically difficult, but I’ve been seeing some tanks trying to act like retail and run through half the instance. Truthfully that only happened once so far, but plenty seem to not pay any attention to healer mana. I’ve been avoiding running on my dps for this reason, until people realize it’s not quite retail yet lol.
It’s not so much that’s it technically difficult, it’s just the highest responsibility and most visible where you have to fight with your group.
Oceanic RDF for leveling content is dead, can we please get cross realm RDF not just cross server as only 1 oce server is populated
More it seems are jsut sucking it up and BG’ing it for the furious.
WG is rather eclectic for sure. Pve and pvp’d geared all mixed together.
Not a rant mind you. Even retail side I’d tell new level caps go run some epic bg if the dungeon/lfr rng was not being nice.
Not the gear they want but better than the crap they have at an 80 ding most likely.

Wait…what??? Well that explains my long queue times. I didn’t realize that Oceanic was only cross-server. I was playing on a different US EAST realm yesterday and the queues were popping in about 1-3 minutes for my healer. Remulos is so dead lately that I made a toon on a US server because Remulos is the only “non-PVP” Oceanic. Well just great…now I’ll have to transfer my toon…
Yes it is.
It’s not necessarily about group comp. There are a lot of random little contributing factors that make up the whole reason why many people prefer forming groups themselves over having it automated. Group comp is just one of them.
I never said I’m sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Why are you making things up?
I’m not trying to state that. See:
I never said I sit in a city. I’m saying you wait for your group to be auto-formed rather than forming it yourself.
Just as I’ve told you probably a hundred times over the last year, there’s no longer sufficient reason to form your own groups for standard 5-man content, making dungeon finder default, making anything else going against the flow, meaning more effort for nothing. 
Why do I waste my time explaining it to you when I know you’ll just passive-aggressively ignore it like always and then passive-aggressively say the same line to me again in another thread in a week? 
I’ve missed your antics, Ziryus the Master Debater.
there is no gear check for 70 dungeons my dude.
I honestly hate it. I liked it better when you had to form groups with people on your server. It forces player intetaction that way, and i have made a lot of in game friends through running dungeons in the “old fashioned way.” With RDF there is no player interaction and you get matched with random people from other servers who youll probably never see again. Its convenient and the rewards are good, but i would rather have it the old way because to me it felt like more of an adventure than just sitting around waiting for a dungeon queue to pop and playing with randos ill never see again. Feels almost like playing with a bunch of bots in a single player game. Might be time for me to switch to classic era servers!
If you want to interact with players, there is always trade chat.
RDF allows people to actually get dungeons done. Something that wasn’t happening before RDF. Nobody is forcing you to use it.
but i would rather have it the old way because to me it felt like more of an adventure
Sifting through 1000 lines of spam in LFG is not an adventure. It’s just a chore. At the very least, RDF allows you to get something else done while you wait for your dungeon group to form.
Exactly who was gatekeeping you and what were they gatekeeping you from?
It’s been a nice refresher on what drove me away from retail, I’d almost forgotten how selfish and toxic LFG/LFR was.
Unless i was in a premade group, noone talked at all.

Good news, you can still form groups manually.

They gatekept themselves and blaimed everyone else.

Right which is you admitting that most people didn’t see any value in manually forming groups.
That there was no option before doesn’t mean people liked it. Given an option it’s pretty obvious which one most people prefer.
You also ignore that for most people manually forming groups didn’t add anything to the experience because there wasn’t really any agency in it. It was just a chore.

And no one is gatekeeping you from manually forming groups except yourself.

Other than pugs chosing rdf so there are no pugs to pug with manually. 
Now that my alt is through the no dungeon pops TBC bracket, I now get to experience people rolling need on everything either for MS, OS or vendor spec. Typically always vendor spec.
