Everybody sit down and get your notepad ready, a business graduate is speaking…
No, they’re in touch with their target demographic: whales. Those Classic servers now are nothing more than a quick cash grab. Sells boosts, sell server transfers. Put it in maintenance mode. Rinse and repeat. The long-term health of the game means nothing to them.
Blizz please give us an update to confirm there is no RDF at release!
Oh wait, you did confirm this last week, nvm.
At this point RDF is not going to be put in and I think most people should accept it and move on. However, a lot of people believe RDF will fix the current problems regarding not enough players running heroics.
Heroics in TBC require too much effort for just a badge. While woltk heroics take 15-20 minutes and little to no effort to complete. While not nearly as challenging, they’re a lot less tedious compared to TBC.
RDF was built for the raid logger but adopted by the solo player. It allows someone to play this multiplayer game alone, without feeling the need to interact with other players, or join a guild.
I find that playing alone is a common issue, likely because most modern games are build for and encourage solo gameplay, thus people have become conditioned to it. I would encourage you to first focus on finding a guild that fits your playstyle. When you do this, you can largely avoid all of the issues you’ve brought up and botting/economy become the main issue.
In my opinion, RDF will do more harm than good. I’ve seen it on private servers and how modern players use it through different phases of the expansion. I believe it would ultimately end up being another reason you quit.
They will add RDF when the two interns working on it finally figure it out.
They brought in a second intern?

Spoken like someone who has NO IDEA what the game is about.
Dungeons do not matter, their rewards do not matter. Running 100 dungeons a day does not matter. RDF in the game HARMS NOBODY, RDF out of the game HARMS CASUALS, AND PEOPLE WITH DEMANDING PERSONAL LIVES.
Your opinion is yours to have, but it is ignorant and false. Because its a fact that RDF has no negative impacts on the game… atleast not with GDKPs, instant boost 70s, and Mega servers… take out those 3 and I can see a few valid arguments for no RDF.

i thought i was the only person who thought this…
Even if we don’t get the old RDF, i like the OP’s idea bout giving out flasks / extras to the roles that are in demand…
The game is about whatever you want it to be, there is no defining purpose to it.
To state that RDF will not have negative impacts is ignorant and false. I gave context as to why I believe it would bring new problems and the great part is that it’s my opinion and you don’t have to like it.
I’m a casual player and yes RDF is convenient but I’m not so inconvenienced that I can’t play the game without it, or believe the game is unplayable without it. Having RDF isn’t going to magically fix the lack of interest players have for running heroics when they’re no longer needed or wanted.
You also couldn’t have said it better. If dungeons don’t matter, why do we even need RDF?
You gave your opinion on its negative effects… these are no facts… the FACT is there are no negatives…
Ummm, players aren’t interested in the hour long /4 LF Tank + Heals Heroic blah blah for an hour straight… You totally right man its cause we just don’t wanna run a dungeon for fun… or play our alt in a dungeon… its clearly the game bud… not the tooth pooling you have to do to make a group.
You don’t play WoW… clearly… you are not a casual… you are a nothing.
First of all I’m not the one saying my words are fact, I clearly stated they were my opinion. You however are claiming what I’m saying is factual and then getting upset with your own assumption of my opinion…
If casual players don’t have the time to put a group together now, they won’t magically have the time to sit in RDF que either.
A common RDF que experience no one wants to talk about:
You sit in que for 30 minutes, group pops, healer leaves, re-que for 15 minutes, tank leaves, re-que for another 15 minutes, DPS leaves, re-que for another 15 minutes, DPS leaves again, re-que for another 30 minutes hoping the tank/healer don’t bail because they get instant que’s.
it’s queue*.
also, sure that can happen on a smaller populated server. what about a populated one (one faction)? how would RDF queues play in your head?
You have no idea what you are talking… again… you are basing an opinion as fact… you are making ignorant comment after ignorant comment.
The “tYpIcAl” queue time was 15-30 minutes and at certain points of the night dang near instant for DPS… healers were insta to 10 minutes and tanks were almost ALWAYS instant queues. Get your opinions straight before you spout ignorance. If you basing your “oPiNiOn” off of Private servers LOL.
RDF again has no negative impacts… taking an hour to form a group is not fun, immersive, or social… its a pain… and nobody wants to run dungeons because of this… this is a fact… not an opinion a FUGGIN FACT.

I know, I just abbreviated que. It all depends on if the ratio of tank/healers changes if RDF was in. Would more people play a tank/healer role to get a quicker que, resulting in groups more frequently?
Also, I’m not against them simplifying the matchmaking process. I think there is a better middle ground that is not being brought up on the forums. I believe it would be much easier for blizzard to develop and implement an option in the new tool to enable/disable automatic matchmaking, than to put in RDF and try to reverse engineer it to their vision for classic.
Speak for yourself. Grobbulus horde lore is bonkers.
Been on grob the whole time don’t know who you are, or any of these kids on this server are… Spamming LFG chat and Trade chat with politics and simping is not “cOmMuNiTy”.
Or at least I want to deal with more than I have to.
Than you haven’t been on grobb forever if you haven’t taken part in the countless player held events and occasions. The best memories I have on grobb come from player made events. Like when all the horde PvP guilds grouped up to form 4 raid parties to hold the dark portal on release day and get as many hordies their sweet tbc prepatch tabard, or the pug crawl that happened literally a week ago lol or p2 classic in general. Grobb p2 classic was the place to be!
Literally like 10 of you go to those events… I hear about them and cringe just thinking about it. You are the minority of WoW players, and nothing should be structured around you.
