What’s it like being that wrong?
If that’s his attempt at an honest discussion then he’s worse than a troll.
And yet Blizzard implemented something not entirely unlike what you’ve described.
I had a bad experience with RDF. That doesn’t make RDF bad. I had ten times as many bad experiences in groups before RDF came out. Does that mean finding group members through trade chat is bad?
No it wasn’t. It was never ever about that. It was supposed to be about that. That’s what everyone told themselves it was going to be about. And, okay, maybe that lasted for more than a few hours after it went live. Maybe even a few weeks. But that spirit has been dead and buried for years now. I don’t see removing RDF as being enough to revive it.
The devil you are.
What’s your source on that? At one point during Original Wrath a developer stated that over half of all accounts never made it to level 20. Over six million individuals who started playing WoW never leveled past 20. Most people quit at max level? Where on earth did you hear that?
Yeah it does? Already in Wrath Classic (prepatch) you get XP in battlegrounds.
Which statement are you basing this claim on? From the very beginning players made some pretty clear statements that the retail premade finding tool would be the best course of action and … that’s not what we have right now. How long is it going to take? Will they be finished in time for Icecrown Citadel?
I’m super casual in game, I’m hardcore at trashing the flimsy arguments of godawful trolls like you. I’m literally doing this instead of playing the game.
And that is why you don’t understand it. Because you’re just fundamentally wrong about it. The teleportation is a pretty big quality of life feature and was a big factor in getting people to use it, but the key feature is the automated matchmaking. The finding four other players who claim to be able and willing to perform the roles needed to complete a dungeon. That’s literally what most RDF advocates want above all else. The teleportation and cross-realm stuff filters down from there.
If you don’t want RDF then that’s exactly what you want.
We’ve hashed this out, it would be relatively simple (in concept if not necessarily so in execution) to implement an automated matchmaking (RDF) system that would not provide players an advantage over forming their own groups manually. If the developers truly wanted to support the “Spirit of classic” they can just as easily provide buffs, rewards, or some other incentives to encourage manual groups over automated.
This isn’t complicated.
Ditto.
And I want to be rich. As long as flying is more efficient than walking (which it always will be) and I’m lazy we’re not going to get what we want. The difference is, I can get motivated but we’ve already seen what happens when Blizzard tries to take flying out of the game. Hell, it’s a major system in the next expansion.
Why do you play WoW?
I suspect that they really want to make sure they don’t ever have to be in a group with anyone who doesn’t know how to get to Halls of Stone/Lightning without owning a flying mount - despite how that contradicts their argument that we need to appeal to casual gamers (the ones most likely to not have flying mounts.)
Prove it, post on your alt. Also - did you just type in something other than the third person?
So let’s take this step by step. RDF is a cancer on the community and brutally murders all socialization in the game by it’s mere presence. It’s only a lazy vocal minority of players like me who don’t realize this s00per obvious truth. But RDF is so addictive that all of you anti-RDF zealots won’t be able to form your own groups if it is implemented because nobody will be able to resist it’s siren call so you’ll have to use RDF or not be able to find a group? Ok.
