Stop with the compromise threads

You’ve made a claim, but we don’t know if it has merit.

@Bolognapony-grobbulus

RDF wasn’t the feature that lead to or broke the camels back.

This is what I responded to, and the statement I made was:

@Axxo-skyfury

For who? You perhaps, but it may well be for many, if by “the feature that lead to or broke the camels back,” you mean the feature that caused someone to quit.

@Bolognapony-grobbulus

I can only assume that the way this is worded it is in contestation of my statement… if it is in agreement… maybe word it better?

I’m pointing out that we don’t know whether what you’re claiming is accurate or wildly inaccurate.

Personally, I suspect that Dungeon Finder has had a much further reaching negative impact on WoW than people think, but this is merely an opinion that I hold based on personal perspective and biases. I have not been privy to data nor do I claim to have any insight that any other WoW player wouldn’t have.

However, I’m not sure that modern WoW players really care about the types of shared social experiences that we had back when WoW was new and fresh, so whether adding Dungeon Finder to Classic would be as impactful as is has been for Retail is questionable. Again, also just in my opinion.

@Axxo-skyfury

While leveling over hours, days, and weeks, it’s not uncommon to run into the same person or people from time to time, be it for group quests or instances. This shared experience over time can lead to a form of social bonding. Heck, I still remember during the original TBC leveling a Priest with a friend of mine on a Warrior. We would often run into this shaman while questing in the open world or in instances, so much that it felt as though we were leveling together, and we became friends (Hey Zarth! Wherever you are now).

With Dungeon Finder, while it’s possible that you’ll run into the same person or people in instance groups, you won’t run into people who aren’t on your server outside of those instance groups, and even if you can befriend them, you cannot cross-realm party or queue, so this is somewhat impactful for some people’s social experience in the game.

And as I also stated in my original comment, I’m not really anti or pro RDF. If Dungeon Finder is added to WotLK Classic, I’ll most likely just use it a lot.
