When you implement a system that encourages new players and incentives for fresh 80’s yes. It’s a key to maintain a long population.
They downfall during cataclysm was implementing instant teleportation for raids, where you find most trolls.
For current dungeon content, even heroic or even hardcore dungeons in classic wrath are so easy that 5 brain dead players could clear it all, you don’t think the implementation of a system that makes leveling and encourages bis players to run a daily dungeon to maximize their emblem and gold earnings. It was beautiful times. Your time was not being wasted.

Cross realm bgs 1.12, came extremely early in Classic.
Meeting stone 1.3, came early with Classic.
Linked auction house 1.9, came early with Classic.
Guild banks 2.3, came early with TBCC.
Bg queue from anywhere 3.1, came early with Wrath Classic.
Dual spec 3.1, came early with Wrath Classic.
Tome of cold weather flying 3.2, came early with Wrath Classic.
Bg exp 3.2, came early with Wrath Classic.
The patch a system came in has never mattered in Classic, TBCC Classic, or Wrath Classic. RDF is the lone exception. And that list could have been a lot longer. It’s just off the top of my head.
Furthermore, Blizz has said RDF is NOT coming with ICC. So your post is completely irrelevant, because as of right now RDF will never be in Wrath Classic.
What’s funny is this is one of the better things DF has going for it.
They finally figured out what players want and also why FF14 is doing so good.
You get rid of chores and unwanted tedious things that are literally just there to waste time.
It I have 90 minutes to play I should be able to log on and play the thing I want to do no matter if it’s heroics or pet battles or BGs or arena or solo shuffle or mythic+.
That’s how ff14 has been for a long time and wow is finally catching on.
I just don’t get these “back in my day gamers” as if something taking longer for literally no reason other than to take longer makes it better.
That’s where Wrath excelled too. Want to run a couple dungeons? Jump in and queue up. While I wait I’d do my argent tournament dailies. Maybe work on professions. Did a lot of achievements. It was a fantastic time to be a casual.
And the Classic Clowns decided to turn Wrath Classic into a raid log game. Such a waste.
If only there was a way to type in the notes “Not interested in tanking” in the LFG tool so that people searching could just see that you are not interested before they even consider messaging you.
Oh wait…you’re an entitled casual that can’t be bothered to do more than click two buttons.
I wouldn’t know. I stopped using it two months ago after using it for four weeks and adding multiple people to friends lists and discords. Now all the people I socialized with and met at the start of the expansion form groups for dungeons with mains and alts now.
And when we don’t, some of us play different games together.
Just came back and saw 2 system messages. One where this post was hidden due to reports of spam, and another where it was restored by a moderator.
Your spam report must have worked. Congratulations.
Weaponizing and abusing the report system is much worse than using a public forum to talk about a negative experience you may have had. Especially when your very next post was also complaining about how you had a negative experience.
Ironic or hypocritical? You decide-
“ I did use RDF when it first came out, but it discouraged me to the point that I stopped playing a few weeks after Cataclysm was released, literally. Dungeons became a dull experience, people showed more toxic behaviour than before, people started zerging, I would be kicked of the party for asking questions related to the dungeon, and the list goes on.
We don’t need that system that led to that many social issues.”
Except that I didn’t create new threads to talk about it, did I? You could’ve posted your arguments and personal experiences in a number of threads, yet, you decided to create a new one, making the discussion longer and more complicated to follow. I’m not against people sharing a negative experience or more that they’ve had, I’m against people opening a new thread to do so when there are literally dozens threads with similar content.
Trying to enforce the Code of Conduct is by no means weaponizing and abusing the report system. Trying to make me look bad is deceptive and manipulating, to say the least.
This specific topic has been discussed ad nauseam and the needle hasn’t moved one bit. A throng of objectors haven’t changed the developers’ opinion on the matter, some of us are happy with how things are and respect that particular opinion. Others have decided to disagree but not let that affect their gaming experience.
just to bolster this argument back in wrath we had a ret paladin who would just tank dungeons as ret. throw on RF and go ham. dungeons wouldn’t live very long. literally a competent healer just needs to throw up okay heals and you’re gonna live.
Yeah, generally people who say this stuff haven’t had the pleasure of healing a poorly geared (or not at all) tank, not giving credit to tanks who come prepared and know what they are doing. The healer is effectively doing the tanking by proxy.
Why would anyone want to comment on an existing thread with 900 replies? No one will even see your reply when you’re comment #538. It defeats the purpose of a public forum.
Your point is? You can always skim the posts and pay attention to the relevant ones, that’s what I’ve done in some threads with 2k+ posts. Why would anyone comment on the forums with the assumption that no one will read your posts?
