You are a perfect example of player type I don’t wanna see in my game.
All right I normally don’t like to step in on forum posts but the chronology of your argument is misrepresenting the essence of what people are saying when they refer to RDF dates. Chronology of date/time is only a small portion of the point they’re trying to make; if you want to get content-technical (which is a much more relative point to the argument you’re trying to make) then, no, RDF came out at the end of WotLK’s content (the ICC patch).
You’re in essence stating that because ICC and RS lasted a long time that we should slap RDF in when the allocated - and unrelative time - of those dates hit, but that’s the misrepresentation. RDF didn’t hit live WotLK because of X amount of days being passed, RDF hit because ICC hit, so a much more genuine argument for you would be to say that RDF should at least be out in the ICC patch. The point of ‘X amount of days’ appears to be a clandestine approach to get something you want quicker. Just sayin’.
Edit: More to the point though, I’d be happy without RDF at all. Then again this is coming from an angle of remembering world PvP being a thing (even on PvE servers sometimes). Server balance now…well, there is none. A shame, really. I’d be preferential toward a patch-by-patch WotLK so people could experience how DK’s were upon release, that was a big part of the mysticism surrounding Wrath - that DK’s were the most powerful class in WoW’s history bar-none. I’m sort of let down that the people who weren’t there to witness that won’t be able to, but I guess I get why it’s not implemented. It was completely busted, but I suppose that’s the allure of fun. Fun isn’t balanced. It’s one of the reasons why Wrath was so popular; everyone is busted. Cata pretty much did away with that. Something was good or it wasn’t.
And I miss my old talents. Shadow of Death, old Unholy Blight, Hungering Cold + Gargoyle, the list goes on.
Oh, look, I’m rambling.

You speak to my heart here. 
Blizzard, please consider allowing Faction transfers during the pre patch and before launch! I want to be able to play with my friends on Horde when the game releases, not months afterwards… and currently im stuck on alliance on a different server. PLEASE <3

And it was flagged by a couple trolls and hidden for a while.
But Blizz will continue to ignore what the community wants.

What are you replying to? The message you linked is about the amount of time for prepatch, not the timeframe of when RDF was introduced. But since you brought it up;
Killawar, it’s much simpler than this.
It is simple goal post moving.
The anti-group says “it was only put in during the last part of the expansion”
When solid proof is shown that it was halfway through the expansion, they change tactics and try to claim this it was during the last content patch.
It was released halfway through the expansion.
It is a moot point anyway since we have been given features from the last patch of every classic expansion up to this point. Until now.
Now, I need to get my first cup of coffee this morning.

Make half the realms RDF, the other half not. Use it as a data gathering exercise.
Problem solved

Cya in WOTLK classic!
Give free transfer too - else you only count the rich hkids 
“… what the community wants.” Part of the so called community here: Don’t want it.
Please speak for yourself and that alone, thank you.
A Blizzard employee created this thread to officially announce the date of the Wrath pre-patch. The first response is asking them not to remove dungeon finder from Wrath. It has 4x the likes of the OP.
Stop pretending the community doesn’t want dungeon finder in Wrath.

They just come back with a, “Well I don’t”.
We say, “But you don’t reflect the overall community, every poll or data point we have seen says the majority of the community wants this”
They say “Nuh uh”
We post various polls…
They say"It will ruin WoW Classic though"
We say “You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to”
They say “but if its in the game everyone will use it”
We say “So you are saying the majority of people would use it if they could?”
They say “Yeah but it will lead to a dead world because everyone will sit in the city”
We say “But people are already going to do that leveling via BG’s now”
They say, “Go back to retail noob”
Same arguments, different day.

Agreed. Please put RDF back into game. This is a huge mistake.

Weeelll, by by social life
I wouldn’t keep any characters on TBC personally, but I definitely agree that they should have kept at least 1 around for the people that do want to. One server of each expansion would be nice, so people can go back and play whichever xpac they feel like, when they want.
