For months now, the forums have argued back and forth about RDF, with both sides convinced they are the majority. Since we’re all here waiting in queues, let’s try and get Blizz to add a fun poll to the queue timer. We can have multiple questions and finally settle the argument about what the community truly wants.
Would you support:
A. Traditional RDF
B. Modified RDF
C. No RDF
Do you like the teleport to dungeon mechanic?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Only in Vanilla zones
Do you like the cross-server function?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Only until max level
Should tanks/healers be incentivized?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Yes, but not with gold.
Feel free to share your opinions and any other questions that could be added.
A Across-the-board Most people want RFD there is a selection people that don’t care what the majority of people whenever this discussion gets brought up.
The majority is in favor despite The people that are against it Always try to argue what the people that like this idea just aren’t posting about it yeah OK.
Like it or not they’re just so it’s gonna be some people that like things worse because in their mind Everything should take a long time which is Silly but OK.
But my stances #RFD Plain and simple On top of that the new group finder is awful They couldn’t even copy and pay something right they had to modify it.
I mean I’m giving my opinion But again we’ve seen multiple posts about rfd And generally most of the time when it gets bright up Way more people are in favor of it than people against.
This is why I would like to see action on Blizzard’s part. They won’t get a bigger sample size than right now except for the actual Wrath launch. People with nothing better to do while sitting in the queue could just fill it out, then we’ll know. As long as Blizz releases the data, that is.
I don’t doubt that pro-RDF is the majority. They certainly would be. But it doesn’t matter. There’s enough people out there that don’t want it, to warrant not having it.
I’m glad it’s not in wrath classic.
Yeah I 100% agree with that I say at this point I would almost put it down to I don’t think they have the time to put it in I mean looking all the bugs are happy in prepatch mine are saying there’s.
A lot of problem with cues on top of that Apparently something is wrong with battleground cues on top of that So honestly I just think it’s the fact they don’t have the man power to put it in.
I think the issue here is that this doesn’t matter to blizzard. They have an idea of their target market and a niche that will take them beyond ICC. So I’m not sure they care very much where the numbers fall, even weighted towards long time subs, people who actively played the 2 previous classic iterations.
It’s wonderful to want something, and in no way shape or form are you owed that thing. A game doesn’t need to be made for everyone, and shouldn’t even. This type of thought brought you engagement metrics, patch Ilvl resets, and LFR, and yes, also rdf
So you can absolutely want the truth. But in no way shape or form do you need it, demand it, or are owed it.
You also won’t ever get “the truth” from a forum Poll tally. That should be common sense tho.
B- If I had it my way, I’d make it so you did not receive bonus experience for dungeon competition. While the bonus is nice, this is exactly what made RDF the prefered way for people to level their alts. You get more exp in a dungeon for an hour of your time than you did out in the world questing. While it still may faster, it wouldn’t have such a wide exp gap for your time spent. Thus, you’d still likely have plenty of people out in the open world questing and grouping together because the gap for exp would be smaller.
D- Only teleport there if you’ve explored that area on your map. If not, you’d be forced to run there or get summoned. This encourages world exploration, and there’s potential for WPVP if that was even a thing anymore.
A- It means low pop servers would not struggle to form groups. While I respect it also means reputation would mean nothing since you could a ninja or a complete jerk and not have any repercussions because you likely won’t see any of the people you grouped with again, I feel like the former is a much bigger issue and a more likely case.
A- Since Classic we’ve always had the struggle of likely having the hardest time finding a tank or healer for your group. Incentives would mean there is a higher chance to find which ever one you need in a more timely manner as they would be more likely to queue.
You are 100% correct. No reasonable person could follow the conversation surrounding the game and actually believe the vast majority aren’t pro-RDF. However, a poll won’t change anything. The anti-RDF crowd knows just as well as you that they are in the minority, but for now they can pretend like they actually believe otherwise and disingenuously pretend like us not having concrete evidence one way or the other means both are equally likely. If a poll comes out concretely proving what everyone already knows, they’re just going to say that it doesn’t matter that the majority wants it.
If evidence and logic had any impact on them they wouldn’t be anti-RDF in the first place.
There is no community left to “preserve”
The teleport feature means that we can all be out in the world doing dailies/farming achievements and bam go to the dungeon without holding other people up because i happen to be in Ungoro and the dungeon is for halls of lightning (and HS on CD). Yes meeting stones but its just a TP with extra steps. Who really cares.
Incentivising tanks and healers = more tanks and healers. Sad that it has to be incentivised to perform a kick booty role but it is what it is. People like big pew pew numbers.
Cross server helps dungeons actually form consistently.
If nothing else. Put the wrath feature in wrath. Simples.
Edit: make it teleport everyone to the meeting stone if people care that much
