Wanted to just log on and do a couple dungeons

That’s where you’re wrong kiddo.

Every single rando you meet is now your best pal. You will have a lifelong connection xxnoobslayazxx

RDF connects the hundreds of players playing together. Just because there’s no one on my server doesn’t mean there’s no one playing.

Why do people need a reason to talk to each other? Why can’t people talk to each other if they want to, and not if they don’t? Furthermore, the group creation process consists of nothing more than spamming LFG/trade. That’s hardly what I call a social interaction, let alone a meaningful one.

These can still be in place in harder content that needs more organization.

Except it doesn’t.

What encourages interaction is having a reason to interact.

Pugging dungeons does not create that, and inversely with RDF there are still actually real reasons to interact like achieves etc…

What other time zones solve the problem?

I see grouping for achievement all the time on my realm.

And that reason without rdf is interacting can make grouping easier in the future.

With rdf it doesnt matter because grouping doesnt matter at that point, people are forced to group with you and are likely from a different realm so you dont care to make a social connection as it wont effect your ability to group later.

You clearly don’t care at all about social experiences in game. I’m glad you’re not being listened to.

Except that this simply is not reality, dungeons are already treated as one time events when pugging. RDF won’t change that because pugging dungeons is simply not something that benefits from long term commitment.

This entire post is irrelevent my friend and has not much to do with his point.
Regardless if i throw a party in Dalaran at 8 pm and talk to everyone and their mothers, at 6 am or even 1 am getting off a shift, we would like to actually get into a dungeon and if possible, not take an hour or more (or never).
Your saying ‘guild’ somehow answers every problem one could have.
Had to edit more to my comme goodness the amount of either pessimistic or flat out in denial people on this thread literally needing a pat on the back every dungeon they do. Some people dont want nor need to give their life story every single thing especially dungeon we do in the game. Some of us want to get in, get out, and get on with our day. Yall are trying to turn WoW into The Sims… its getting pretty ridiculous already with these safe contracts and bans for no actual reason. Lets get back to the raw MMORPG side of things and hit the brakes on Social Sims

Maybe you treat it like that, but i try to make every pug a chance to make a social connection because i recognize this is an mmorpg, making social connections is part of the game. I have made connections with dozens of tanks and healers because i dont try to play this game like a single player game.

Pro tip RDF does not make it a single player game, you’re still playing with 4 other people.

And if that’s how you feel you should want RDF since you would not have to group with people like me. You would only be grouping with people who have a similar sentiment and that would increase your chances of making those long term connections.

People that are very likely on a different realm from so making social connections with them does nothing for you.

And if that’s how you feel you should want RDF since you would not have to group with people like me. You would only be grouping with people who have a similar sentiment and that would increase your chances of making those long term connections.

Now if you’re claiming that so few people care about that that you can’t find groups with RDF well that just says how little the general population actually cares about chat pugging.

Isn’t the goal of socializing to socialize?

Why do people need to have motives to make friends?

so its again up to others to push people to play together instead of you finding people? You say nobody but do you have the actual server stats or is this just when your playing using /who?

RDF increases the number of players you can play with.

But makes those interactions hollow and meaningless as they cannot grow.

We have this tool called the internet that lets you communicate with people outside of World of Warcraft.

So no different than how it is now.

And as an optional feature in no way prevents you from continuing to form groups just like you do now.

You keep forgetting that every pug you meet is now your life partner

You will be the closest of friends until one or both of you die

Your exaggeration isnt helping your argument.
