This is a lie.

This one is my personal favorite. Itâs irrational for us to have expected that a Wrath feature would be in Wrath classic.

My favorite was in another thread, same subject. He kept going on and on about some damn vanilla only ice cream shop and that if I was a chocolate lover it would be better off if I left to be with other chocolate lovers⌠no joke, it was like 5 posts full of that.
Just bizarre rants that I think make perfect sense to him and nobody else.
Itâs irrational to have expected an exact replica of original wrath with nothing removed or added.
Itâs strange how you comprehend things. Like it actually does make me curious. Itâs either authentic or youâre just doing it on purpose in order to maintain a narrative that Iâm not making any points or arguments, but I legitimately believe itâs the former.
I read the words that you write and I take them at face value. It shouldnât be that strange, but since you seem to be trying to read between the lines and find some ulterior motive to everything I type I guess I can see how that might seem strange to you.
There were so few significant content changes made to classic and TBCC that it honestly never occurred to me that they might even consider straight up removing a feature as big as RDF. Admittedly, I didnât think about it much, because - again - I was accustomed to the pattern of re-releasing content warts and all.
That you can type what you type and have the nerve to try and pretend half your posts arenât literally dripping with condescension suggests youâre either wholly dishonest or a great fool. Either way itâs obvious that engaging with you isnât really worth the time and energy.

I remember that. No offense, but you didnât really come across in the best light there either. That did remind me of his absolutely awful analogy about how RDF is McDonaldâs and forming your own group is wholesome home-cooked nutritious meals.
Because, No. Forking No. The dungeons are the content, theyâre the meals and they are McDonaldâs. Make no bones about that, Wrath Heroics are McDonaldâs. RDF is pulling into the drive through, rolling a d6 and ordering the corresponding combo meal because you need caloric intake and youâre at McDonaldâs so it barely matters what it is. Filet OâFish is The Oculus. Fight me. LFG/Bulletin Board is going inside, HR>SR is asking them to hold the pickles, add extra - whatever; and then sitting down to eat it in the restaurant.

I can go ahead and use your example just fine.
RDF is a drive through.
But Classic WoW is attempting to be a sit-down restaurant, not a fast food one.
RDF pushed original WoW down the road of becoming a fast food restaurant, which it still replicates to this day.
RDF cheapens the full MMO experience, that which is all the tedious bells and whistles in doing basically anything, such as forming a group. They are all an important part of the immersion and the effort-based reward factor in every action you take.
Itâs applying pageantry to a fast food meal. Youâd have a point and I might have a different opinion if Blizzard was going to adjust the difficulty of Wrath Heroics or were really engaging with the player-base on some solutions to the population imbalance on so many servers (and between servers) but theyâre not trying any of that. Theyâre stretching caution tape over the drive thru entrance, throwing away the headsets and putting out place settings. At McDonaldâs. And youâre walking in trying to tell the rest of us how fancy it is.

Pugging without LFD is drive through as is.
You are just whining that mcdonalds is better than wendyâs.
We arenât talking about a filet mignon vs a burger. Weâre talking about a mcdonaldâs burger vs a wendyâs burger. They are the same.

I donât think anyone was expecting it to be 100% the same, but no LFD is a pretty big change.

I would say it will be far and way the largest change made to classic to date (excluding SoM of course).

Agreed. The previous biggest change was same faction BGs, which I was also against.

Because itâs the biggest one.
Not having LFD (at least prior to ICC) is somehow #NoChange. Because WOTLK existed without LFD.
Most of it did, to be clear.
This is completely your subjective opinion, based on which things you think are a big deal and which arenât.
Iâd say a feature that the expansion originally existed mostly without is not some kind of major tent pole feature that it requires to exist or succeed.
Why change the most successful expansion ever? Wrath was peak WoW. A copy and paste is a guaranteed success, while making changes is a huge risk.

Just because it was the âmost successfulâ doesnât mean there werenât things about it that were bad and would be subject to #somechanges. I can think of a number of things, actually.
Why not strive for greatness instead of being complacent?
Wrath IS greatness when compared to all of WoWâs history.
It can be greater.
Thatâs the point.

Sure and if blizzard was actually announcing some changes that would address the issues LFD addresses that would be great.
