Win-Win RDF Solution

Exactly bro. It took them 4 months to add a H+ tab to the LFG tool. (Supposedly launching with ToC patch)

RDF is a huge server project compared to everything else they work on. Blizzard ain’t gonna pay cus Classic is just a side piece for them now. (At least the progression servers they’re chasing the era dragon now cus streamers)

The crazy thing is they can’t even add something to separate heroic and heroic plus in the lfg… I guess even that is too much work?!?

People keep saying this kind of stuff. I remember blizzard making the decision not to implement RDF upon the announcement video.

Unless all the anti rdfers of this community work for blizzard you are just labeling people because you disagree with their opinion on the matter.

Shows how shallow you are as a person and how bad a social experience it would be with you in RDF.

I’ve been pro-RDF for Wrath, and disappointed they haven’t implemented it. It’s one of the reasons I’m raid-logging more because it’s a pain to find groups for the content I want to do on alts.

Wrath was really the perfect expansion for it because of the relative ease of the dungeons at max for pugs (before + and ++, anyway) and because of how thinned out leveling dungeon groups are.

That said, while I still think they should implement an RDF for normal and regular heroics, I don’t tend to favor it for + or ++, and as the game moves closer to Cata (presumably) I think it would be a mistake for Cata heroics as well.

But I still think it has a critical spot for allowing players to more readily access leveling dungeons. Aside from giving players more options on how to level, some of those dungeons were really great content that now goes fallow.

that’s actually a lose lose situation since that means it isn’t truly Wrath

I remember blizzard repeatedly stating that they would not implement older versions of the game. And yet, turns out they ended up making it anyway. https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/bkdasm/the_wall_of_no/

:thinking: Thats funny that you say that, because everytime I do timewalking dungeons, everyone has a great experience, and we’ll chain queue dungeons. Even had someone that wanted to add me to do M+ with. Meanwhile, WotLK dungeons are silent except for a single “gg” before disbanding the group.

Also, still waiting to hear how a separate server with RDF affects anyone who’s anti-RDF.

Choose to use it, or choose not to. So simple.

I’m really thinking the actual reason they haven’t added it is they don’t want to spend the development time to do it. I understand classic isn’t their main cash cow, but a lot of us pay the sub fee just for classic and would probably cancel without it. They definitely take us for granted!

The level of head-in-rectum thinking this requires is honestly baffling. Removing group quests is way more of that compared to…probably anything you could actually think of, tbh.

Nah, people were actually talking in General in Elwynn over on Bloodsail about random stuff, meaning it’s infinitely more social than Wrath can possibly be at this point.

Are we just talking about WoW, Blizz games in general, or the allegations that caused the early release of Overwatch 2?

So the problem is incompetent management, then?

Spamming for months (likely over a year now) for RDF has made a big difference. It’s irritated a lot of the average forum goers into constantly using their spam flags near daily.

Clearly hasn’t made a difference with Blizzard though through the Einstein’s definition of insanity crusade of QQ as it’s still not in the game. But all 10 or 15 of you keep on keeping on. Maybe someday you’ll get your way and then you can find something else to spam about.

Why do you care when H+ covers what you want? You are just saying no to spite people which doesnt get people on your side.

I am and guess what? I’m not having any fun Dragonflight isn’t the same as WOTLK in term of dungeon experience in DF its a endless speedrun pull of the whole dungeon and AOE everything down.

People try everything they can to skip half of the dungeon by doing weird death fall skip and so on its an awful experience and its the same if you pug mythic to a certain degree.

WOTLK overall dungeon experience is a hundred times better and would still be even with RDF, you cannot go go speedrun and pull the entire dungeon while leveling there is no level 10 twink one shooting all mobs from level 1-60 the power scaling while leveling isn’t absolute garbage like in Dragonflight too.

WOTLK is just a better game for altoholic like me that is if RDF was added, otherwise I leveled 7 alts to 80 and every single time it was a solo experience from 1-70 such good MMO experience right?

A solution that allows both sides to coexist on separate servers without splitting the player base down the middle? I’d take that, hell I’d take anything at this point.

I’m so sick of people going against RDF and also going against proposed solutions that don’t affect them.

Bro, they are gonna be affected.

They’re gonna lose 80% of their population and be only left with the 20% that are anti-RDF.

Then they’re gonna feel “forced” to move onto the RDF servers, then moan about how much they hate RDF.

I’m all for RDF, but it will affect them as equally.

Maybe make the proposed solution have RDF for all normal/heroic dungeons and just exclude H+ & H++ content similar to how M+ is setup in retail?

I think making RDF for Pre H+ content would be a good middle ground too rather than sending them off onto other servers.

Win-Win solution. Allow RDF to auto find a group for you for all previous expansion content.

Then, at current expansion dungeons, you have to use the current system that we have now.

This will make it so that its not a questing/xp grind fest to find dungeon groups, constantly refreshing dungeon finder tool like it currently is for low levels.

And higher level is unaffected and doesn’t ruin the MMORPG experience.

There you go, problem solved.
