We need RDF for the health of the community - long

Non META DPS will be in serious trouble,

Same as it is now.
But it could be worse. Even decent enough specs may, technically, get declined for simply not being the most effective AOE cleave spec.
…or it really could be the case where it won’t matter one bit…Only time will tell.

RDF is not content. RDF is an accessibility too.

RDF gives no special treatment. RDF doesn’t care if you’re parsing 99 on trash in Naxx or if you’re a somewhat fresh 80. Heroics are totally fine for a group of fresh 80. RDF just focuses on a queue - first come first served.

@Jetfuel-netherwind

tanks are in such high demand and there is no other way DPS can form groups without them

RDF does not generate more tanks, HOWEVER. what RDF does do is allows players to focus on ingame activities rather than sit and monitor chat, spam LookingForGroup channel. They can just play the game.

@Jetfuel-netherwind

Remember how bad LFG chat was before blizzard nerfed boosting?

It is impossible to use 1/LFG channel without BulletinBoard addon. Anyone who states otherwise is a liar or doesn’t play Classic.

This is a good compromise thread.

RDF a fair compromise

As fellow forum lurkers may already be aware, I’m firmly of the no RDF persuasion. My main gripe with RDF is how it impacts server identity, accountability and interaction with other players that exist in your game world (Realm). To a lesser extent how it impacts interaction with the world with the teleport feature, but it’s not the hill I’d die on as flying mounts at 80 largely kill the whole travelling to a dungeon vibe and also levelling in vanilla for example is such a huge environment wit…

TLDR - same realm queue lock for 20-30 minutes and then open it up for cross realm.
So if your own realm can form the group - cool. If it can’t, it opens up the possibility to play.
