To END the RDF discussion

It’s bad because it ruins the sense of community and they’re friends with all 25,000 people on their mega-server. :roll_eyes:

I was being sarcastic.

No RDF, but cross-realm BGs are totally fine. Heck, they even implemented same faction BGs lol.

Yet folks still cling to the “community” argument.

Yea my bad lol I’m too tired and this 12-hour shift isn’t helping.

Normally I pick this kinda stuff up.

I didn’t even read the OP but I bet whatever he said… For or against… Doesn’t end it

Yes. For Wrath dungeon it’s a little easier. Assuming everyone has flying.

If you don’t have flying, flight paths are notoriously slow and it takes a minimum of 10 minutes to get across the continent on flight.

Especially if not everyones got their flight paths up.

But for old world stuff? Yikes. Can be ridiculous lengths to get to some dungeons.

It doesn’t matter why the choice was made.

That’s what is awesome about options. You don’t have to be social. No one is making you. You validate a point; the absence of the tool doesn’t make you engage with other people socially. You still have the right to be mute.

Correct.

The absence of this toxic tool does more than this.

Exactly. So RDF isn’t needed.

It’s funny, after three years of no RDF, we have toxicity, we have gatekeeping. Crazy…

No, they can quite easily put in RDF as it was originally designed. Wrath features should be in Wrath.

One of those replies was factual and that was that the decision was made, the rest are all opinions which everyone is free to have except for one thing. What exactly does the absence of the convenient tool do?

def needs to be in the game for 1-70. Leveling as a healer sucks and there’s not that many healers out there right now.

The game is better without it. People who want it are still here paying so Blizzard made the correct choice.

The game is much better since they aren’t ever adding it to Wrath.

By all means, enlighten us. Why is the game better without it?

They weren’t ever going to re-release Vanilla, either :wink:

It’s really not. Please stick to Vanilla era servers for Vanilla’s lack of QoL gameplay.

Most people who want RDF are not in the camp of “RDF or bust.” It’s still mostly the WotLK version that people want.

That would defy the reason why I was using RDF when leveling alt.

I’m OK with the current LFG tool for Northrend content, but for Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor and Outland content the RDF was great help to speed up the leveling process and getting better gear by occasionally doing dungeons while questing.
Once they decided to stay with LFG tool removing the RDF from WotLK they took that possibility away because it’s too time consuming to travel to the dungeon entrance from your quest site.

The compromise here would be allowing the LFG tool to transport you to the dungeon entrance for classic Azeroth and Outland dungeons, however only for that. The Northrend instances have to be reached by standard means if people find that aspect of RDF as an issue.

For me personally it was the arrogant behavior of some people in PUG which was not eliminated by the removal of RDF, not the RDF tool itself and instant dungeon entrance.

In fact it seems like the case with arrogant players got even worse since they have more power in their hand to deny invite to the group compared to vote kick which needed vote from majority of the group to pass rather than just one vote of the group leader.

Do you have any objective proof to that?

I’d settle for their opinions for why it’s better. I want one of these people to actually explain why they think the game is better without the tool.

Your personal opinion, doesn’t matter. What does the majority want? I would bet all the money I’ll make for the next 3 years the majority wants it.

The problem is that everyone has been spouting their opinions like an out-of-control fire hose; what we haven’t had yet is objective proof one way or another.

Unfortunately for the Anti-RDF crowd, the onus to provide this objective proof falls on them, as they’re the ones that are making the claims (it’s bad for the game, it destroyed the game, etc.)

Why would I do that? They released an awesome version of Wrath with awesome game play. Why aren’t you playing retail? …you know, if you think people should stick to where the features exist they want?

Wrath is perfect the way it is. I think I’ll stick with that.

You don’t speak for most people. Even if that were the case, I’m okay with that. As long as you keep paying Blizzard, they don’t need to make any changes.

I don’t need to convince “you”. You aren’t important.

To who? It mattered to Blizzard because they kept the game great instead of ruining it. Doesn’t matter to you? That’s okay! You aren’t important.

You don’t speak for a majority. You don’t know any numbers.

But it doesn’t matter. You’re still paying. They made the right call.

Blizzard doesn’t care about your bet or the majority. Neither do I. They made the right call and they aren’t adding it to Wrath.

You’re silly. We don’t have to prove anything. The game is already how we want it. Blizzard already agreed with us. You think we owe you something. You don’t matter.
