no way. i dont want your stupid LFG crossfaction crossrealm things. that will utterly destroy the community and it will become way more toxic.

RDF was in WOTLK so maybe you need to go play Classic era instead?

How will it become more toxic?

Tbh itā€™s a pointless discussion. Itā€™s all about money. If they thought RDF would make better profit they would have put it in. If they think no RDF will improve the game, or other aspects of their franchise catalogue, they leave it out.

It boggles the mind how people keep beating this dead horse. As if Blizzard owes them anything. They donā€™t do charity.

Hopefully, they add RDF, Itā€™s gonna be miserable trying to catch up after phase 1 without being able to farm emblems.

From my perspective RDF was a nice way to include everyone in the game and its a pity they didnā€™t include it in TBC also. Selling tank services, invites to groups only if You had certain class/spec. The RDF did not discriminate. Even now on the new servers I see LF 3 DPS (mage/warlock). Is this fun? I think that its not about social experience, its from blizzard perspective people would be gearing too fast (lol?).

Also, there have been so many changes to this ā€œclassicā€ version that have more impact than RDF.

It can be an interesting discussion I think. So long as people are able to consider perspectives other than their own. Fact is, RDF had a severe impact on how the game was played (which in turn changed how people socialised). Leaving it out for Classic makes sense. Or it would have, if the server climates were more like they were in the past ā€“ but they are not.

As for the economic side of things, you may be right. Blizzard may deem it more profitable to keep the Classic and Retail designs separate. I personally like their approach with WLK Classic as I donā€™t think #nochanges has ever really worked. No iteration of Classic has ever been ā€œlike it was back thenā€ but that doesnā€™t mean that Classic hasnā€™t had other qualities that has made the game superior to Retail. They really did muck things up in TBC classic though and I worry for the consequences it may have on WLK. Servers are great for communities but they donā€™t really seem to work as well for a modern playerbase.

Questing is faster than spamming dungeons with a non-optimal group. In wotlk, you do dungeon quest runs once. The way it should be. Spamming dungeons is only worth it, if you spell cleave, and even then, you need a good group, and I think this is lame anyway

There was no dual spec this early either but we still got it

This isnt classic

This is WOTLK

Yes exactly. This is classic. This isnā€™t actual WOTLK, and the spirit of classic should be preserved. We donā€™t need retail 1.0, and retail 2.0. When they do things, they ask the actual wotlk OG designers, what their intention was, and Iā€™m very sure, that RDF was their Cataclysm design philosophy. It makes sense.

Sure hence why it was added in WOTLK

Iam talking endgame also. The mass DK dungeon spam. RDF helped balance the game. 10 people spamming quest mobs. Like come on. Of course ppl wanna play dungeons.

Exactly. So that means, it should not be in wotlk classic, since it was a mistake, that should never have been added. Just like LFR, store mounts, and transmogrification. If they do cataclysm classic, Iā€™d only play it without the features above.

If it was included in WOTLK it should be in WOTLK

Irrelevant since weā€™re not getting it at all.

Okay, but how does this factor into the ā€œRDF is out cause itā€™s anti socialā€ bit again?

If you donā€™t understand, either ask, or donā€™t respond to me. Noone cares about, whether you win an argument. Do something else with your life. You donā€™t need to argue with me about how I want the game to be. Iā€™m personally vehemently against things like RDF for classic. Idc if itā€™s wotlk, and it got added right before cata released.

If this was in reference to me, you can block my forum posts by clicking on my avatar and selecting ā€œIgnoredā€ on the right hand side.

Other than that, you can rest assured I will reply to every irrelevant item you bring to this discussion cause youā€™re muddying the water for an actual conversation on this topic. Deal with it.

Iā€™m stating a fact
You said RDF wasnt added until ICC
Okay well then we also shouldnt have dual spec then as that was added in Ulduar patch
Why do we have equipment manager? That wasnt added until Ulduar too

There is absolutly nothing wrong with adding RDF

I literally do not care. This is such a dividing issue that weā€™re going to lose players either way and Iā€™m betting on us losing less by adding RDF.
