Honey, I have asked nothing of you, and am very likely to never. You’re free to live your life the way you want, and I support you, but unless you have meaningful contribution there’s nothing I need from you
you’re desperately fighting a feature that existed in wotlk for 11months as the game reigned supreme during them, did you play wotlk somewhere without LFD? or you’re just assuming fantasy things as a type of imagination future prediction.
blizzard has to decide if they want the money of the elitest classic(few) or the casuals(many). that is what it comes down to. If they want to be a niche game company, they might want to let their shareholders know that.
Where did I say anything about liking or disliking?
All I said is that some players don’t want other players who are prone to make their product that they already enjoy, worse. This is completely irrelevant to who likes or dislikes each other. It’s purely on the basis of wanting the best product for oneself.
I don’t dislike you, I just don’t want what you want. Hence I’m glad Blizzard has made the right decision here.
You can say all day long that RDF killed your “community” Prove it. Show us actual data other than this idea that RDF somehow brainwashed people into being jerks. Show us that gear score, pvp, mythic raiding etc didnt do it, that it was RDF. Face it, gamers today are not the same as in the mid 2000’s.the people that made up the community you think you remember dont exist any more. They grew up, moved out and moved on. You may not like that but thats life.
I need to find the quote but I’m at work typing on my phone, I can later but…
Blizzard said at the beginning of Classic Era that Classic is not being built as some kind of crowd-drawing excercise.
It’s meant to simply draw in the niche of people whom have an investment only in the more “classic” style, to give them a place, and even if it wound up unpopular and empty servers, etc, they’d keep it running.
So it stands to reason that choices made purely for the benefit of shareholders or purely on the basis of optimizing monetization are probably not the framework because that’s what retail is for. It’s the same sub.
Well ask yourself this, would you want to group with her in game if you had a reasonable alternative like LFD?
I’m willing to bet most of the people claiming that LFD killed the community really just found out their “friends” were only grouping with them because they had no other choice. Like yeah sure you’re popular when you tank, just like the first guy to get his driver’s license is popular in high school.
Emphasis on ME
Ironically by being so against DF you’re forcing us to group with people like you. Hence forcing us to do something we don’t want to do.
Your social interaction. Fixed it for you. Stop hiding behind the community needs and admit that you’re terrified that people will stop interacting with you because they HAVE to.
