The forums are such a small portent of the playerbase that you cannot make this argument in any form of good faith.
They (Blizzard) rarely base any form of tuning or adjustments based on the feedback from this forum alone.

This is not just the forums as my focus, this is my experience of years of WotLK private server scene. Including hundreds of thousands of players. Who play WotLK every day since Cata has been out.

I didnât say the forums were the only place they give feedback. I said that what people want in the general wow forums isnât the same as what the classic community wants. Clearly Blizzard has figured out the classic community does not want the LFG tool.
My reference to the classic forums was in response to the OP claiming âif you search the whole forumsâ. That is meaningless, the classic forums however, will give some insight as that is a part of the group they are appealing to.
Yet I cannot find a single post in the classic forums supporting they want no RDF at launch.

Seriously, this needs to change. We are not teens anymore. Most of us do not want to sit there for 3 hours looking for a group.
I even share the same sentiment with raiding and m+. I just want to play the game. We have a player rating system built into the game. Let people be matched and judged on their merits instead of bias. Please just let people play the game.

Thank you, no one has the time to spend 1hour+ forming group for each dungeon they need, when you need to run about 100 dungeons to get normal dungeon gear, to progress to heroic dungeons, to get badges for raid.

Itâs honestly the whole reason I dropped TBC. I canât sacrifice my entire day for prog, and itâs things like this that keep me playing other games instead. WoW elitists need to chill out and go get a job or start a family and see for themselves that spending 14 hours a day on a game isnât feasible for everyone.

The exact reason why I also stopped playing TBC classic after BT. Sitting in chat, filtering through the thousands of bots spamming, isnât playing the game for me. Oh and filtering through the hundreds of cringe/toxic player chat as well.

I hope they put it in during the expansion, if not release it at the start. I was a big fan of the old RDF. I also loved being able to invite a cool level 80 to carry us all through the dungeons

Was looking forward to visiting WotLK classic off and on, then saw the post about no RDF, and thought, do I want to spend the amount of time I do decide to go back having to spam a chat to run a dungeon.

No, no you do not.
People claim oh its about the community and this and that. But its not.
Look at Classic TBC, they wanted the community experience. And what did they get, 90% of chat trolling/toxic/cringe bullcrap spamming every chat channel you can use to find dungeons.
To which the player base decided, hey lets all use LFGbulletin. Why not just give us RDF? If you donât want it or donât like it, thatâs your cup of tea. Do as you please. But donât force the entire player base to conform to a system that damn near no one wants except to troll other people.

Having TBC Classic be nothing like my actual tbc experience was, I wonât even be playing wrath.
Itâs retail classic that is literally infested with boosters and p2w. Your characters donât even matter when everyone cheats

It wouldnât take 5 hours of âshouting in chatâ to build groups, if:
- Blizzard actually put effort into maintaining healthy server populations
- Boost spam in LFG/trade were made a bannable offense, so your LFG ad didnât scroll offscreen in 0.002s.
Thatâs not to say that Iâm entirely against LFD, but the cross server aspect turns players into faceless content completion bots which I hate. If they limited LFD to single servers and properly maintained server populations, that could work too, but if they give up and once again apply the band-aid of crossrealm on the severed limb of server populations it will be a sad day for Classic.

i recall there being some tool in wotlk early on where you could pick a dungeon (maybe more) state your role and that would be publicly visible to at least everyone in that zone and groups would be formed from that. Not automatically and one still had to travel to the dungeon but it was like an early semi auto group finder. If something like that existed it would reduce alot of the age old sit in a city alt upping âx class lf x dungeonâ for a day
I remember reading this one:
Thereâs (also) this one:
Thereâs a couple, out there.
You remember reading a thank you post, with no context to it at all. With 17 likes, and the first comment below it talking about how âLFD will be the best for Wrathâ with 78 likes? lol. You remember reading that do you?

With the title being about how it will kill wow. Even without context, clearly the implication leads to that poster not wanting it.
I did, but itâs irrelevant.
You asked for one example of somebody being against LFD for Wrath, and I gave you two.
You didnât ask if they were popular or not. Not that it matters 'cause the forums donât reflect the majority. Iâm the only member of my friend group who comes here.
How about linking something with some actual substance.
Not a thank you post with the top comment being the opposite opinion with a majority overwhealming it.
And a second example of âLFD will KILL WotLKâ with the only context he put there is about how it ruined world pvp.
Its completely useless information and does not provide any actual meaning to the âLFD is badâ bandwagon. Its just bullcrap.
I have provided actual proven knowledge from years of experience of playing WotLK original and years on private server. I think the information I provided has some actual weight to it. Considering its the same opinion as hundreds of thousands of players who have played WotLK every day since Cata came out.
I guess you did get me there by posting 2 bullcrap post about how LFD will kill WOW though. Mustâve used a time machine to find that because theres thousands of post wanting the opposite burying that bullcrap.
Edit: I just read through that post by the way, and its a single poster saying thank you, with the entire board telling him he is wrong. Lmao

No, like most (not all) posters, you just spit out your opinions and act like itâs everyone elseâs opinions, when itâs not.
More like scrolling through the same poster spamming it multiple times, but I digress
Also, according to you, you think itâs BS.
I have my experience, too and played Classic, when it came out (and still play it). Youâre exaggerating, when you say â5hrsâ. And, youâre spewing the same jargon of lazy players not willing to put forth effort to form a group.
There are people against LFD for their own reasons. You may not like it, but they exist.
Iâmma go ahead and mute this thread, now since it belongs in the Classic forums and not GD. GL.
Really? Play literally ANY WotLK private server and ask, you will get the response I have provided. Prove me wrong.
Oh? So if you need to run lets say 20-30 normal dungeons to get gear for heroics, and it takes like 30mins-1hr EACH dungeon to form that group, travel, buff, complete and return. And then you need to run a lot of heroics as well. And with there being no RDF theres much less geared people available to do them, so it will take even longer to form each of those groups. And each one will more time to complete than the normal version.
You think its an exaggeration? Okay. Lmfao. You just donât know because you havenât seen wrath in 12 years.
