Woah there, I’m not suggesting this is the case at all.
You don’t need “hundreds of lifelong friends” to run an Auchenai Crypts. You’re making the effort to form a group seem monumentally insurmountable for the purpose of making your point.
I form weekly Kara runs as a DPS, as in, I do not offer to tank. That’s ten people needed total, not 5, including both healers and the tank (or tanks depending). Do the tank/healer spots take a little more love to fill? Absolutely, but with some social engineering and some light-hearted behavior and well-meaning tells, you can fill those spots and get going for that badge run.
IDK, I just don’t see “I couldn’t run my Heroic Mechanar last night” as some kind of mind-bending obstacle in the face of consistent weekly experiences like that.
I mean to be fair who actually has a server community? I can see tiny servers but servers like mine that are quite average in size (10k) doesn’t really have one.
Ive done several dungeons on my priest since coming back to tbc. I do not remember a single one of their names. We did not talk to eachother except to say ‘omw to stone’. Please stop with the dumbass lies.
One example is all it takes to counter the argument of RDF does not fix “anything”. I understand there are work arounds, my point was purely that it does indeed fix something. I did not state that there aren’t other fixes.
You’re talking to a flat earther. You think there’s any argument it’ll ever accept? Of course not, because it’s not here to have a discussion. It’s here to TROLL. And all you’re doing is encouraging that behavior by feeding it. Same with Zippy and Bloomer.
Look, someone can be against dungeon finder. But to say, ‘It fixes nothing’ is, of course, factually incorrect. So why does someone say such a thing? To push your buttons. That’s it. That’s the reason. And you’re letting it.
The ignore list is so nice. Wish more people used it.
There are plenty of tanks right now that will tank for no charge in wotlkc. The problem with tbcc heroics is the design of the heroics offer very little replayability because the badges dont scale with raid teirs. In wotlk heroic designs when naxx is out heroic dungeons badges (not doing the daily heroic) scale to heroic dungeon gear. Come ukduar the gear you can get from heroic dungeon badges scales to naxx gear, ToC heroic dungeon badges scake to ulduar gear. Its designed in a way that offers much more replayability than tbcc does.
The problem is you are looking at tbcc end of expansion difficulty of getting a dungeon group and comparing it to wotlk and ignoring all the changes that came with it.
Rdf doesnt make more tanks, but having the deathknight class does. Having dual soec does. Tanking being easier with all tanks having good aoe and single target aggro does. The faster and easier heroics of wotlk also increase the rate at which a tank will finish a heroic and be ready to do another if they so chose, or for a dps to get on a tank alt after finishing it on their main due to how alt friendly wotlk is compared to tbc in design. Rdf doesnt make more tanks.
How does this differ between finding your own group and RDF doing it for you? There is no special networking that happens during manual group formation. You do the dungeon, type thanks, good run, whatever, and you leave.
I made a fact based counter to a comment you made and it has now incited personal attacks about my ability to read and take responsibility. How is this constructive? I even acknowledged that there are other solutions.
Socialization is more than becoming “lifelong companions” with another person.
I went to a gathering a few weeks ago with the wife, it was like a group-meet-up type thing for her culture, and I talked to a lot of different people, and I don’t remember any of their names (okay maybe the 1 or 2).
