This is why you don't want LFD

So what your saying is. If I want to farm badges. I have to use rdf to maximize my farming of badges.

Sounds like I have to use it or be left behind.

This is 100% false. 7 days a week 2 badges per day that’s 14 badges a week, phases last more than a month and you can buy gear for less than 56 badges.

And to the the people saying rdf doesn’t effect people who don’t use rdf you are wrong.

Let’s say we have 2 tanks, 6 dps, and 2 healers who want to do dungeons. The 2 healers chose to use rdf as solo queues. Now we have 2 tanks 6 dps and 0 healers in the pool of players who are trying to manually get into a group. There are no healers so now the others have to use the tool to get a healer or not form a group.

Rdf directly effects the ability to manually form the groups. And with the extra benefits of rdf it essentially forces even those who formed manually to use the tool to do their daily dungeon if they want the extra badges. Which can easily add up to 2-4 ‘bonus’ peices of gear from the badges depending on phase life cycles.

Again, I’m fine with rdf if, no teleport, no extra rewards, no cross realm. But don’t try to pass off wotlk version of rdf as “if you don’t like it don’t use it” as if that’s a viable option for people trying to gear. Because unless it is changed from the wotlk version, it won’t be an option, even those who form groups manually would have to use it for the extra badges.

This lame gaslighting argument was already demolished in the posts that ensued after your quote. Try reading a little.

545

I mean we could pose the same question to you…??

546

you couldn’t even understand what i said???
you can get 2x current tier badges ONLY once per day, you can’t keep on queue to farm badges ><

person they responded to flat out said they didn’t want new players (sounds like a closed elitist an eventuality dying community) maybe you’re gaslighting?

and I can’t speak for the other person but there are only two others even on my server right now even near my level (both DPS) so since we got stuck with a raw deal on the server\faction pick we’re just out of luck huh tuff and live with it even though the older Dev’s have a good solution to that problem.

No you can just use the extensive friend’s list you claim to have of like minded people and not use LFD.

Basic math.
2 extra badges per day adds up. If you do it every day you will have 56 more badges than not using the rdf in 4 weeks.

If we assume every phase will last 3 months, thats 168 more badges per phase from using rdf once per day. 2 badges total isn’t a big difference in badges, but looking at the average life cycle of a phase, it is a big difference. That’s 2-4 more peices of gear.

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension…

To get the 2 bonus badges a day, I have to use rdf, even if I formed the group manually, I still have to use rdf to get those badges.

552

So what?

And of course a perfectly reasonable solution is to simply leave the daily quests on the quest givers in dal.

And yet it does hurt me. It forces me to use a system I don’t want to use or fall behind. It breaks immersion through teleportation to the dungeon, it hurts my ability to form a group manually because it reduces the numbers of player I can form groups with, and it hurts the community aspect of my realm.

Essentially if rdf is added in the wotlk version, I have to use it. There is no choice unless I want to intentionally fall behind.

Rdf also increases content consumption rate in the long run which can also be bad for the game.

It’s not about playing my way, it’s about playing the game as blizzard has designed it. And so far that means no rdf for wotlk.

In wrath LFD is how blizzard designed the game.

so 168badge “that’s if the phase lasted 3x months” that’s will magically gear everyone? you know tier items will cost more than 100badge?, at max u can get 1~2 items unless you aim for accessory which will be ~3

so you’re whole complain about people having ability to get 1accesory item per month? or 1 tier item per 2months? you’re really either so damn dumb or selfish.

you don’t even need to do that daily, why would a glorious raider as you care for 56badge per week, when he can get 200badge from raids per week.

Edit: however on p3 people will not be able to get heroic tier just by badges, they will be able to only get normal tier items and to upgrade that? an item needed from raids is required.
LFD daily badge (1time quest) has almost no effect to end game content.

And it’s not like he can’t get those badges if he forms his own group, oh lordy lordy no he might have to open the LFD tool and click join with his friends, won’t someone think of the children!!!

walk your group to a dungeon and then queue problem solved, funny in LK it didn’t stop me from forming any manual groups (did help when we were short a person) .

*it can prolong the game by giving people that came late a chance to play when everyone one else is ahead of the curve, what happens when everyone that is Maxed out gets bored and no new players can level\gear up (you really think that would be good for the game?)
