I have literally not had to spend more than 5 min ever to make a group for a dungeon in wrath, might be because I ask in my guild for people first and fill out the last spot or 2 with the tool. And non of the dungeons take less than 5 min to clear.

You and everyone else who is screaming about wanting RDF and claiming the tool is bad are clearly not using it in the intended way, Blizzard have made clear that they want to make guilds and friendslists be more important than they were from 3.3.0 and forwards in classic. If you would use it to fill the last few spots then its an amazing tool, but if you are just trying to use it like the RDF then ofc its bad. The social interactions are not in the dungeons them self but whit your friends and your guild, sometimes you pick up a person from something like a worldtour even, they might join your guild or they saw that you were a player who knows what they are doing so they add you to their friends list so that the next time they can just whisper you and ask you if you want to join instead of going through the tool.

aKsHaULlY, Blizzard actively encourages people to of all backgrounds and genre enjoyers to come and explore Azeroth, from the prompts on loading screens suggesting players bring their friends to Azeroth, to cross promotion, TV Spots, Celebrity endorsement and Promotions such as recruit a friend.

WoW has always been a “game for everyone”, just because some people take it upon themselves to gatekeep does not change this fact. It is easily one the most accessible MMO’s to exist.

Wishing it was not, does not make it so.

"We want players who don’t want it to have a place where they can play with out it.”

From Blizzard.

Can you please explain? what it means?

pander

/ˈpandə/

verb

gerund or present participle: pandering

  1. gratify or indulge (an immoral or distasteful desire or taste or a person with such a desire or taste).

“newspapers are pandering to people’s baser instincts”

They want people who quit retail and stated “because, RDF ruined WoW”, or people who quit and play pservers or both to give them $$ and will say whatever to keep you playing, even allowing you to believe they actually care about any of the people they are pandering too.

Yeah that means classic is not for everyone :slight_smile:

There are no Dwarf Shamans in classic, classic is not for me I guess. Off to retail I go.

Removing a tool, for their own reasons, and pandering to wayward customers as to why they did does not mean the entirety of Classic wow and everything in it is “not for everyone”. They have already changed their reason from pillars and preserving social interaction to clarifying they are worried people will consume content too fast.

Nobody needs RDF to raid, or PVP or Quest, or farm or grind.

Bro they literally said this game is not for RDF lovers, why you are still argue about that?

Because I am sat in LFG waiting to be selected for a group/ people join my group and have nothing better to do. :man_shrugging:t4:

Also, you keep tagging me. Stop doing that if you don’t like my replies.

Fair.

No man you can share your opinion, I do respect.

I and 3 other guildies literally had to call off our heroic rampage around 22.30 cause no one was in the tool for the instances we wanted to do.

But I guess that’s just us “using the tool wrong”.

Shame I’m on another server or I would glady have taken up arms with you on your ramage through the frozen north. If only there was a way we could do that, oh wait…

(Sorry - I had to :rofl:)

"MMORPGs aren’t for you then, because this is the entire point of those dungeons.

Who has the right to say if a mmorpg is for someone or not except for the person in question.

It’s supposed to take time to build a group to go clear a dungeon.

No it’s not, WOTLK changed that to modern mmo rdf

If you don’t understand that, you shouldn’t be playing an RPG where you need to rely on other people to do certain things.

Except WOTLK changed this to RDF still lets not forget they got rid of this idea

If you don’t understand that, you shouldn’t be playing an RPG where you need to rely on other people to do certain things.

Ofc we dont understand cause your explanation is garbage and every argument the anti rdf used is contradicted lol

We dont care about fast levelling or XP farm.

This right here is the biggest lie, The people who defend no rdf the hardest are literally the people who “Kick incompetent and undergeared people”

Hehehe then why you are not playing that “modern” MMO on retail? Because it sucks right?

Yes Retail completely sucks but its not rdf that makes it suck, it’s outer powers, unholy daily locks, forced dailies with no end, gear disparity is through the roof, lack of content, etc.

Other modern mmos are usually actions rpgs, ffxiv is too story focused for my taste. Literally nothing to do with RDF why i dont play them and wotlk not exactly standing high with its infested elitist players, bots, gdkp’s and rmt’s.

For most of us, it started with RDF. You can do your research.

Copium, it started when wow community stopped being friendly and started being a toxic nightmare. if RDF is the cause of wow downfall then why is FFXIV gaining in popularity and social aspect when it’s literally even more convenient where even ur savage raids are instant ports into it

“In the months after the launch of Cataclysm, WoW’s third official expansion, the game has lost almost 1 million players”

Cool and? there was a lot wrong with Cata one being lack of content due to focusing on world revamp, not rdf
