What happened to the dev teams that were so strongly against RDF?

[Zaalg-ashkandi]

This is painful to watch. This guy is just being humiliated.

@Kelliste-antonidas

Do you want me to quote your entire post? Will do bud and you can tell me where the “for me” is in it.

I’ve done it for you already.

@Bloomsday-sulfuras

yeah, appropriate power levels for me.

There’s not much more I can do for you here. I cannot have a discussion with you if you cannot read.

[Zezetop-arugal]

@Moyiipew-faerlina

What happened to them? How did they change their mind?

Edit - I remember that for the whole past year, Blizz was against RDF so strongly. It made players to struggle almost the whole best expansion. Now they confirmed RDF in the last phase so easily. It makes me feel stange.

The last three dungeons have been released so they can cut and paste the code now, other wise they would need to learn how to actually program.

@Bloomsday-sulfuras

Yes, and that was after I asked

@Kelliste-antonidas

You got 232 ilvl from Ulduar?

And at that point you knew your “appropriate power level” statement was nonsense. So you changed it to “appropriate power level for me”. Why are you so disingenuous all the time?

@Ziryus-pagle

but then you apparently don’t understand it since you are unable to explain.

It’s been explained to you before already, just like the AV changes and Dual spec. If you still don’t understand, that’s fine, but Blizzard will have to largely ignore your feedback then. Which is exactly what we saw unfortunately.

@Bloomsday-sulfuras

No it hasnt. Its also hilarious that you are coming up with the “you cant read” bs like you always do when you cant follow the course of the conversation. You are the one in the wrong here and always have been.

[Bloomsday-sulfuras]

@Kelliste-antonidas

So you changed it to “appropriate power level for me”.

No change was made. The context of this entire conversation has only ever been MY experience.

Until you can show that you are capable of reading properly, I’m afraid I’ll have to move on.

[Kelliste-antonidas (Kelliste)]

@Bloomsday-sulfuras

No change was made.

Yes, your argument changed.

[Jeynar-mannoroth]

@Bloomsday-sulfuras

It’s been repeated multiple times.

So it is a problem to repeat something that’s been stated multiple times, OK.

Right so you are in fact unable to explain it.

@Moyiipew-faerlina

What happened to them

Shareholder pressure likely won out.

[Jeynar-mannoroth]

@Redheadchild-kul-tiras

Shareholder pressure

Yeah, definitely not the playerbase asking while the main anti RDF guy got himself fired.

As if shareholders give a hoot lol.

[Maalpractice-zuljin]

@Silika-pagle

@Moyiipew-faerlina

What happened to them?

They left Blizzard, people like Brian Birmingham simply left the company or got booted.

Hopefully they have fun running the fry counter at Mcd’s,

A shareholder has no clue what RDF even is.

[Maalpractice-zuljin]

@Aovona-sulfuras

Came out ICC patch drop last time. I made it work. So can you.

They had 12 million subscriber buffer back then. Not so much now.

[Zaalg-ashkandi]

Also, the patch a system originally went in has never mattered in Classic. Not a single anti-rdf poster has ever given a reason as to why rdf should be the exception.

[Maalpractice-zuljin]

@Atrasx-atiesh

It feels weird because its a slap in the face.

This one graduated up to a kick to the groin.

[Maalpractice-zuljin]

@Aovona-sulfuras

I was right about the RDF being on ICC drop. I am also right that you people are going to start spam asking for LFR to be added into Cata first thing when it comes out. You people kept lying nonstop about RDF saying that it was out from the very beginning.

I am ready for Cata Classic cuz here comes another year of add something spam. Add LFR to Cata now. Yup. Im ready. I have to deal with this all over again.

I predict that Cata will follow WOTLK! And then Pandaland! You see it here first folks! The great Maalpractice sees all and knows all!

[Corpseknife-mankrik]

@Kelliste-antonidas

Most people said that.

Did you take a headcount? Got a spreadsheet somewhere with the percentages? Most still isn’t everyone.

Most Pro RDF people said no RDF was 100% a Blizz conspiracy to sell boosts and irrefutable proof people in their organization hate WoW and despise its players. I mean, if we’re gonna focus on who said dumb absolutes lets be consistent and not pose it in a way that paints Pro RDF fans like they were noble martyrs.

@Kelliste-antonidas

If someone is going to defend these decisions that Blizzard was making they should be able to explain it.

It doesn’t matter if a forum poster was actually able to provide that for you because they would just be flamed into oblivion regardless. Everything was 100% speculation on behalf of both parties. Its Blizzards game and they can do what they please - you would think all the geniuses would have figured that out by now. Heck, you have to agree to that in order to even have access to the servers.

Aw, come on, can’t we pretend please…

I mean, you’re not wrong. I don’t remember all the ridiculous garbage I’ve typed out here in defense of RDF and while I don’t think I said anything that crazy, I was pretty much convinced that the development team had misread the market research data and was engaging in an absurd level of confirmation bias. I still think that’s the majority component.
