You flat out ruined wrath by removing LFG because it was against the ‘spirit’.
Then you ignore any conversation on LFG.
Then without any conversation you add the flipping token.
Now tackling RMT is a good thing. The issue is you’ve now made wrath p2w and declared full support for gdkp.
Have you forgotten that gdkp is against the ‘spirit’?
Rather than have a server of healthy communities you now have servers full of bots, token buyers and gdkp boosters, nothing, absolutely nothing in the game has any meaning anymore.
Noone “removed” LFG. It literally wasn’t added up until the later patches of WOTLK, so technically it’s just not being implemented yet.
They are not ignoring the conversation, they just simply can’t be bothered to please 5% of the population that wants LFG.
It is clear that you have not played any p2w game. The ONLY value that gold has in WOTLK right now is if you go into GDKPs. Which, you are not obligated to in any case. There are many guilds out there recruiting for players, and clearing the raids with other loot systems.
Blizzard did NOT make GDKPs. Community did. People did. They cannot simply “ban all the players that join GDKP”.
In fact, adding wow token will reduce the amount of bots and goldsellers, but it requires a bit of thought into that, which apparently you didn’t put into, before writing this post.
Yes. It was actually a pretty smart play by Blizzard, which will result in a positive way for the population.
Gdkp and RMT have always been tolerated. Gressil was going out for goldcap in 40 naxx. It was apparent that RMT was running wild, even blizzard must have noticed.
RMT and Gdkps are part of the “classic” spirit. RDF and LFR are not.
He never said that he wanted all those 100 things to be in the game at the start, so you can’t say that it’s a bad argument.
We can’t remove the things that have already been screwed up, but we can still prevent the addition of other screw-ups.
You’re like some of our customers.
“Why can’t this camcorder make coffee?! If a camcorder can’t make coffee you should state that in the product description!!”
At least i’m not the one who said “Please no RDF it kills the social”, and after that argue with “RDF wasn’t here because we are not at the last patch” lol.
At least, they should admit that they are the reason why RDF was removed and stop with bad faith.
Sure, I can admit that people like me are the reason why we did not get RDF early (or maybe at all). Unfortunately, it seems in case of token Blizzard did listen to someone who wants stuff early.
It makes perfect sense to add the token but no RDF, when you think about it.
Coming soon, we have the ICC heroics, and then we have Cata heroics. Both are much more challenging than WotLK’s launch dungeons, and I presume both will also get progressive new difficulty modes, like we’ve been seeing so far. With RDF, all players, gold-buying or otherwise, would be able to queue for these dungeons and eventually get a group that can complete them. Without it, groups are formed manually, and so we’ll inevitably get sky-high gearscore requirements and people selling heroic group spots for 2k, both of which encourage people to buy the token just for entry into the game’s basic content.
Geez and we sure also had Dual Spec from the start of Wrath, and mounts from level 20 and 40, And ability to swap our Glyphs whenever. Going for “it hasn’t been implemented yet” doesn’t work when you implement everything else ahead of time.
No, it doesn’t. All those things you mentioned are not “no changes”. Blizzard have said they’re going with “somechanges”. For each item you mentioned you have to ask yourself “how does this alter the game?”
Think back to TBC to a time when people were debating whether dual spec should be in the game or not. Some were against it simply because of “no changes”, and honestly their arguments were the least interesting to read. Why don’t you want dual spec? How does it alter the game in a negative way? Some people did manage to find an answer to this, and maybe a portion of those people no longer play the game because they’re so upset that dual spec is in the game.
Not all features are the same, and some have larger impacts on the gameplay than others.
Nah they fall under simple idea of using last patch as the basis when it comes to Balance and Features in classic releases. They aren’t changed from what they were at the end of Wrath. Better example of #somechanges would be the item that allowed you to store World Buffs as that never existed in classic. Or the current LFG tool that again was made from scratch.
But if you insist… Did lack of RDF really change the game for the better? Would ability to access dungeons easier be worse than the current gold centric state of the game that now culminated in Blizzard throwing the towel and dropping Token in order to get something of the RMT Pie?
That’s a fallacy. Any one bad thing not being implemented is still better than all of them being implemented.
However, if you still think that your post is correct then you should start making threads for inclusion of all other retail features right now.
Dungeon Finder was Wrath Feature. Not retail, not “classic”. Simply Wrath. Current Titan Rune Dungeons Blizzard is so proud of (and which basically killed off regular Heroics even further pushing people into Gold oriented meta) have more in common with Retail than classic.
Tell me again what terrible damage would RDF Incur that we as players didn’t with P2W meta of our own creation. The one currently cemented by Blizz with a feature that shouldn’t exist for next 2 or 3 expansions
I don’t see the connection between the absence of RDF and “gold centric state”. Are people paying gold to run dungeons on your server?
GDKP is something created by the playerbase. Maybe we could get rid of it if we implemented personal loot?
Many people will point to the Dungeon Finder as the thing that changed WoW from what it used to be to what it now is. It’s perhaps the one WLK feature that is still going strong in retail. It really redefined the game. When J. Allen Brack said his now-famous “you think you do, but you don’t” he continued by describing how things used to be with how things now are – and the thing he was talking about was the Dungeon Finder.
No it’s not. It’s exists but in the grand scheme of things it’s absolutely irrelevant with endgame Dungeon content being relegated to Mythic difficulty that requires manual grouping. It’s not even relevant in leveling or alt experience.
Nethergarde didn’t seem to attract it no. Though I guess it’s more due to the fact we’re by all modern metrics “dying” server or by standards of anything Except maybe Mirage Raceway non existent when it comes to the Horde side of things with not exactly high influx of newcomers.
