Is there a reason the literal old RDF was implemented when there was a new specific group finder implemented? Why did you not keep the new retail-esque raid finder tool in premade groups and resort to the old incredibly outdated version, when you had put development hours into specifically creating it to keep peeps happy for not implementing rdf? The version you implemented was incredibly good for finding specific raids and listing yourself for specific raids, the “new” old one is absolute garbage in comparison, would absolutely love all of you if you literally just reimplemented the new one you created specifically for wotlk classic.

You mean the group browser/board thing we had? Yeah, this new backport really makes me not wanna search for groups. Old one was amazing, it just needed to be made xserver +ilvl in tooltip and ilvl and CR for PvP.
There is no PvP tab at all as well.

Exactly, and then just remove the Group finder tool, inside the RDF.

What do you mean?
The reason was crying on the forums. The result is as expected.
Point out where anyone asked for the group finder to get changed into a crappy version of the retail version.
The question I was answering was not “is there a reason why RDF is this bad?”, it was “is there a reason the literal old RDF was implemented?”.
But it wasn’t.
Post title is referring to raid group finding, i used RDF cause i dont know what to call it, i dont mind RDF as in searching for dungeons, but searching for raids now is near impossible and horrible through the old “new” tool
Aside from pvp tag problems and maaaaaybe the /instance chat channel (I don’t remember it, and it seems most people don’t, but it seems not using it is what causes those extremely silent groups so it might have originally existed, with just nobody noticing that it did) everything is as it was originally released.
Oh, that’s why they had a hotfix hit today, ok.
And why you can kick people into a deserter tag before you’ve fought a single mob, ok.
And why you get rewarded for doing specific dungeons and RDF itself even at max level only awards you with 20 gold.
If you’re not already doing Oculus for Scourgestone farms and FoS for speed you’re just not metaing hard enough.
Yes, the hotfix was not a fix to a bug, it was a change to RDF. Back in the day dungeons had lower level requirements - they have been level-squished and deleveled twice, once in TBC and once in Wrath. We did not get these dungeon level changes in Classic, which is why a correctly implemented RDF did not match the dungeons we have.
So you actually think that back in the day you couldn’t RDF into dungeons you had quests for?
Interesting.
Entirely and completely factually wrong, of course, but interesting.
I didn’t find any posts or patch notes relating to dungeon quest levels specifically, but these changes were not documented very well, usually just a single sentence at the end of the expansion release patch notes. This might be the reason why we did not get them in Classic - Blizzard just didn’t have their data and didn’t feel like doing all the work again manually.
I really don’t care, if you can’t queue for SM before you can get the pre-quest for In The Name of the Light done it’s clearly not functioning.
Especially since that was a big part of the experience back in the day.
What work?

The level requirements as they were when Cata was in beta.
Looking at the page history it seems even player-made documentation was full of holes before then.
Yeah cause players only had the option of checking individual levels as they gained them and contribute that factoid to the page.
Do you need an explanation of how Wikis work?
Even the current version of the document with all it’s post Cataclysm beta state of the game still has the original level ranges in it.
Some of the level ranges were changed from when the table was first added. Not big changes, but still. It’s an interesting read for sure.
