The biggest difference between the Pro-RDF and Anti-RDF crowds

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

Pro-RDF players are quitting without it.

Anti-RDF players will still play with it in the game.

The ratio of impacted enjoyment is way off when deciding to have RDF included or not.

Yeah, everyone expected the QoL changes. We all knew it was coming. All they had to do was collect money. Now they lost a percentage of that total revenue because someone said hello to Brian in a WC run one time. Complete morons

Somehow everyone played Classic and TBC Classic no problem, but now with no LFD it’ll be too difficult to find groups and enjoy the game.

They are. It’s a big deal for a lot of players!

I know personally I won’t quit initially but my playtime will be dramatically reduced without it. Just like in TBC the only reason to log on is to raid. I was very keen to run multiple characters but without RFD it makes it a bit unrealistic unless I want to pump heavy hours into the game.

These opinions are coming from somebody with a healthy network of friends/guildies who will not have trouble getting groups on my max level - I’m far more concerned for creating alts without it.

I won’t QUIT QUIT
but I won’t invest nearly as much time into the game as I would have otherwise. I’d say, instead of 10 hours/week I may play 1-2? With RDF, I will turn into an altoholic. Leveling alts via RDF is my fondest memory and my wet dream today.

Today, I hop into retail (that’s where I main) and it takes me like 2 minutes to get into action. On TBCC, however, I have to allocate additional 20-30m of camping trade chat to get a group. Either spam my own or whisper others.

Also, heroics in TBC and Wrath are vastly different.
Heck, in Tier 4, I still have to kite and stuff, but going in Tier 4 into Wrath dungeons I can prob face tank 2-pack right off the bat.

I honestly wouldn’t even mind heroic lock out system to be part of RDF. I can live with that. But lack of RDF entirely is just a buzz kill for me.

Not to mention, RDF is FANTASTIC for leveling. Even if you’re just a dps class whose queues are 30m

RDF does make game more social.

It was always difficult to find groups! But I tolerated it because I knew LFD was coming in WotLK and things would get better. Now that hope has been taken away. :frowning:

I already quit lmao, the second i heard them talking at that table i closed the stream and unsubbed. Im sure they have the numbers on that too. I bet the graph looks great around the time the stream went live.

I’ve been waiting for wrath since classic was announced, i also quit retail (again) halfway through this expansion.

That stream made want to play retail and forget classic wrath was even an option, so many decent decisions for retail and momentously bad ones coming for classic wrath.

It wasn’t “no problem”. LFG is a slow and tedious experience on a lot of servers in Classic and BC. People who like WotLK generally liked RDF as well because it made it easy to get the groups they needed, both in levelling and at max level. There was an understanding that Classic and TBC should be as authentic as possible to satisfy the people who liked those eras, yet now that respect for what people liked was not reciprocated with WotLK.

Yup, I didn’t complain when it wasn’t in classic and tbc, i didn’t ask for changes that affected the game, i would gladly give back my paladin seal if i knew it would have lead to this.

It is difficult to get dungeon groups running, WotLK dungeons are going to be run all the time for the first few months I’d say roughly the first 4. But just like what happened in TBC (not so much classic) People are just gonna stop running dungeons or they’re rarely run.

Nearly all dungeons aren’t run especially 1-60 dungeons and when WotLK comes that will go to 1-70 dungeons. LFD enabled leveling characters to get into dungeons and let them take a break from the monotonus leveling pattern and instead, expirience a dungeon that they either might not have done in a long time or just haven’t done at all.

Currently only a select few are consistantly run, LFD would make all dungeons be run more often, it’s removal is poinless, all it does is slow down the game.

LFD was automated sure but compared to being effectively afk, spamming LFG with messages for who knows how long, I’d take automation over that any day.

Good thing Blizz gets your sub regardless of how much you play?

I was always #nochanges because I wanted to avoid these kinds of problems. Just leave the game alone and let people decide if they want to play it or not.
