We Don't Want Wrath of the Lobby Kings

@Frosstfire-pagle

Because you can’t kick from PVP BGs

Yes you can.

[Ifelixl-faerlina]

in fact it’s a theme park style MMO, I don’t think it will change that, but yes… I would have to improve this classic expansion to have a better experience on any Northend system.

@Shadows-grobbulus

Yes you can.

Nah you really can’t…

[Shadows-grobbulus]

Yes you can. Players can be reported for being AFK, non-participation ect. If this happens enough times the player gets a suspension.

@Shadows-grobbulus

Yes you can. Players can be reported for being AFK

That isn’t the same as kicking anyone. And it takes more than 1 game of afk reports.

LUL try harder please.

[Shadows-grobbulus]

I see people get reported AFK and kicked all the time. I’ve done enough BGs to be honor capped. You aren’t going to gaslight me about what does and doesn’t happen in BGs.

Sure you do…

Also, upon further reflection, your insult is incredibly stupid. Just because someone started playing during WOTLK doesn’t invalidate their desire to replay the WOTLK expansion.

“Wrath babies” isnt so much an insult as it is a phrase from a long gone age. After the end of WOTLK many people cried for more and more QoL features. The classic andys that didnt quit yet referred to them as wrath babies.

@Forumfighter-area-52

You Classic Andys have grown so comfortable with this notion that Blizzard built a special little sandbox for you and you alone. Ya’ll desperately need to get over yourselves.

They genuinely did though; thats why there was over 1mil new subs for classic vanilla launch.

[Shadows-grobbulus]

Yes, I do…

[Iron-pagle]

its so weird, today i was questing WHILE forming a group. and it worked! crazy!!!

[Frosstfire-pagle]

@Shadows-grobbulus

Yes, I do…

Doubt it…

[Shadows-grobbulus]

A tank was easily able to find a group? Crazy!

[Misanthra-grobbulus]

my fave troll even in retail is ye olde…

you have been reported afk. to fix this please type /afk immediately.

you see 3 players drop.

and you laugh as you go whoever did that…you got 3 bites. nice work…

[Shadows-grobbulus]

So you’re the one doing that in the AV starting cave…

“It’s easy guys. Just don’t do what’s fun”.

[Shadows-grobbulus]

“It’s easy guys. Just play a class and spec you don’t want to play.”

[Misanthra-grobbulus]

Nah. Just find it it funny it works. My dream troll job if I could ever find the motivation to make a mage (the one class I never capped even in retail…its not me for some reason) is the other dalaran portal troll.

you know…the one where dalaran isn’t.

We want to play the game as it was meant to be played, that includes interacting with the world and travelling around.

Jokes on you. You will be playing Wrath of the Lobby Kings. Blizzard has decided the way the game is to be played now is going to be…

1. Sit in Dalaran spamming for 2 hours.
2. Sit on the flight path AFK.
3. Play 30 seconds moving to the dungeon.
4. Do the dungeon
5. Hearth/Ghetto Hearth/Port back to Dalaran.
6. Rinse and Repeat.

It is a much better style then

1. Queue up for the dungeon out in the open world.
2. Do Quest/Daily Quest/Farm in the open world where you may interact with people.
3. Accept queue pop
4. Teleport to the dungeon,
5. Complete and leave the dungeon.
6. Rinse and Repeat.

Now I will not have to interact with others at all. Thank you, Blizzard.

Literally nobody is gonna be playing like this. Were gonna be in the open world questing, PvPing, and forming groups for group content. You doomers have these wild fantasy lands in your heads.

[Jirukon-thunderfury]

You know how I know players are going to play exactly like this? It is because they currently play exactly like this and have absolutely no reason to do otherwise because doing otherwise is less optimal.

People seem to forget that the general player base only cares about what is most optimal. What I described is the most optimal play for both RDF and No-RDF. The reason why RDF causes people to go out into the open world to quest, farm, and potentially PvP due to those actions. Is because they don’t have to look for a group. So it is wasted time to sit around in a city doing nothing… when they could be doing something. Why No-RDF causes people to sit in cities is because those cities are the most optimal location to look and form groups.

If, No-RDF also came with the requirement that you needed to go to a meeting stone outside of a dungeon to form groups for said dungeon. You would get people sitting around those instead of a city, and could engage those players in World PvP. However, the likely outcome of that is a bunch of people sitting around dead while forming groups.

Honestly, people need to stop acting like the general player base isn’t going to act in the way they have repeatedly shown they will act. The fantasy of the vast majority of players, playing unoptimally is just that. A fantasy.

So if you want people in the Open World questing, pvping, and forming groups for group content. You have to make that Open World the most optimal to do those things. We currently have to form groups manually. Doing that in the open world while questing and pvping isn’t an optimal thing. It is suboptimal so the players won’t do it.
