I’ve been playing since vanilla as well, and as you can see I have a lot of posts, mostly stemming from actively advocating for Classic, classic bugs and classic design choices.
What’s your point?
Oh I know. When there are no consequences, people show who they really are, not the social facades they put on real life.
This is why cross server is a bad idea and mega servers are also a bad idea.

It’s so unplayably awful on beta, half the testers just queue for some TBC dungeon so they have LFG channel access and then spam what they need. No one likes this new gatekeeping system except for a few trolls on the forum that don’t even have beta access and desperately want WOTLK to fail.
If you play DPS or especially a Tank, you will never be able to use the new system to make your own group unless you stacked classes that aren’t loot competition for the healer & their offspec. Healers are rare in WOTLK and WOTLK’s original dungeon finder was the only way for DPS or Tanks to get groups, outside of having friends/guildies which bypasses even the new system anyway and thus would be a moot and low-IQ point to attempt to make.

Who cares? This isn’t Wyoming, some small farm town where everyone knows everyone… like 3k+ people on regular servers and you probably know 50 of them… use your head.
Cross Server is the only good thing about RDF… when I’m drinking and want to play some WoW, I can jump on run some dungeon instead of NOT Logging in and play a round of TFT, League, SC2, Overwatch, EFT, etc.
Dungeons mean nothing.

No it’s a game that was never designed for and never had servers with 30k players on 1 faction

- It’s not new
- It’s not gatekeeping when there are so few who have beta access compared to the thousands that play the live game.
- When this goes live, there will be exponentially more representation
- It’s far better than spamming LFG channel
- It’s going to take a bit for all of the players to not only realize it’s available but get used to using it as opposed to LFG channel spam.
This is definitely true.
The whole reason we needed cross server or regional queuing systems was due to lacking server populations. Now that we have servers with 20k+ players, as opposed to 3 to 5k in OG TBC and WoTLK, there will be far greater numbers of players to choose from when forming groups. Personally, I believe the LFG tool going into WoTLK will be fine. Would I prefer an automated queue system? Yup.
You are forgetting that literally half of the active players ( and you are all speculating at their population being that high) are non-english speaking gold farmers spamming GDKPs and boosting people. Mega-server, cross server… why would anyone complain about having MORE people to play with…
mind blowing

My point is they will lose subs. If no RDF. I am trying to help the game survive through at least wrath. I know 3 people who already Left due to no RDF. I have not met a single person who would quit if RDF was in the game.
Also, clearly you didn’t read my post because I even made a comment that it didn’t matter.
I don’t post because I don’t believe they listen to anything. BUT I am hoping they WILL listen to this.

No one is going to outright quit over dungeon finder being added to the game. The people who don’t want it know that it ruins the social experience of the game and makes it worse, which will eventually make people quit… it’s not an overnight thing.
I enjoy grouping with people on my server, getting to know who is who, and making a name for myself on the server. That goes away with dungeon finder.
I’m glad the dungeon finder won’t be there in WotLK.

Cross realm ruined it. It’s functionality as it was is perfectly fine.
Leave it to realm only, for an addition maybe throw in you must complete the dungeon once on your own for normal and heroic in order to queue for it and call it a day.
Again, Ask yourself… What is wrong/game-breaking with someone easily running a dungeon… please do tell me with Botting, GDKPs, Instant Boosting 70’s… how is someone using cross-realm to run 2-3 more dungeons than they normally would without RDF (because itll take an hour to find one group as a dps without it) going to hurt the game?
So tired of this debate…

Well been in the dungeon finder rsham heals and been waiting hours in it T6 geared and this is just really bad, Blizzard you should take this out of the game
No it didnt. Nobody but you and a select few care if the randos you group with are from your server or not. Many more care that they can just run them in a reasonable amount of time.
The enchanting button on need or greed is gone: there’s your socializing. Much community. Such wow.

It was Cata heroics. Wrath dungeons were faceroll. People were presented with mechanics other than a dps check and struggled. Healer mana was also so tight they couldn’t bail you out either. Then when they git nerfed it really divided the community.

I also agree that it should be in. At least let us test it out in the beta to see the outcome of who really likes it or not. The same way we are testing the current group finding tool. That’s the only true way to really know if testers think it’s a good tool or not.
