I cant remember any thread before the announcement of the removal that acually was about this feature (at all).
Some people were talking about it off-topic, but at least on these forums people were more occupied with trying to get Dual Spec into TBC than even thinking about RDF.
You make it seem like was a campaign against it, it was not.
I always assumed it wouldnt be a part of Classic, seeing the big population that wanted Classic/Prestine servers often used it as a argument against Retail.
Even J Allen Brack used RDF as a argument against the whole Classic community, saying they think they want it removed but forgot how it felt. Meaning - it was understood that it wouldnât be there.
However one could argue that the current demography of WOTLK, seeing the paths Classic took and the features added, is anything but the people wanting original Classic. Seems like bigger part Retail drop offs and Wrath babies to me.
In other words them being carried and the loot handled almost free as their performance didnât matter at all, only number of carries in the group. This is what dissatisfies me in LFG, you learn nothing in it, because someone drags your weight along the way. Your performance doesnât matter unlike in challenge mode dungeons in MoP because of gear difference, so the only thing you can do is not make fight harder for carries by dying or triggering skill check mechanics of the encounters.
Not really no. Leveling in Northrend with my Paladin I was not nearly at that amount, hell at that time I barely had 1000g to my name at that moment and almost all went on Titansteel Helmet. Now I did make quite a bit from clearing zones I did not touch somehow during leveling
Also you still forget that prices arenât equal among servers. BoEs especially T7 ones are still high in price. Craftable items from P1 ok those are cheaper but still hefty price for few
Or you know classic players arenât exactly that much different as they like to think they are. Honestly not only content progresses faster in Classic. Changes in way of playing, player interaction and hell even realm population mimic those that Happened in retail except they happen way sooner. Monofaction realms? Checked, GDKP? Happened way earlier than in retail, people basing their choices around min maxing? Yeeep we got it here. And those are our actions. Entire community. All Blizzard did was doing nothing.
Each quest gives around 10g. How on earth did you get to lvl80 having only done 100 quests? That average gold given per quest isnât including the silver dropped by mobs either.
I only cleared like Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragonflight and Sholozar Basin⌠Also donât forget forking 1000g on Cold Flying once I reached 77. Stuff like that happens you know.
Well if you skip most of the content then ofc you will start off with less than people who did it, for example my rogue is done with most of Borean Tundra, all of Dragonblight, all of Grizzly hills and have now started on Zul Drak, have made around 2k on it while doing that and im only lvl 76 on it (and sure I didnt pay out for flying on it but on my main but it still have 4 levels left untill it would have to get any gear in reality). Getting a few k from leveling is stupidly easy tbh, even though I also dont like that people say that you should join GDKPs at all, the gold you earn should get you atleast a bit of crafted gear easily enough.
Didnât feel like I was skipping honestly. It just happened. As I went I started doing dungeons, taking quests after I got an option to fly to Dalaran and by the time I did Sholozar without much indication to do do Grizzly Hills I just Dinged max level and shifted to trying to gear up
Trues statement ever, sadly followed by a complete lie in.
Prove that its something needed, mind you we have just had vanilla classic and tbc classic that both were successful without RDF, giving the claim that is not actually needed way more credit in recent history than the claim that its needed.
So in reality what you said should be read as.
âYou may not Want it but I Want itâ
Seeing that you said its needed without providing any proof that its needed its basically the same thing.
Funny I have only had to do something like that once and that was at 2 at night looking for a healer during the wrath pre patch on a under geared alt. What I have learned is that if you make sure that your add for the dungeon is more than just âLFM HoL HCâ there will be people who get interested in your run and cut down on the amount of time you need to look for people and also makes people who are more social (and most of the time a bit better) want to join your run even if they are not actually after anything from the dungeon in question.
But if you just want to rush through things and not actually try to make things interesting for others then I understand why you WANT RDF but you still have not provided any proof that its needed just that you want it.
People want to progress their characters if they wouldnt have been making a decent profit on both of those then there wouldnt have brought out wrath just to make people happy.
You WANT to do low level dungeons but dont need to in reality. (And that one I do get that people get annoyed at but its still not something you âNEEDâ to do)
You wouldnt find a tank any faster with RDF though, most people are not leveling at the same time right now so you would still have to wait for hours most likely for a chance to run deadmines.
Still not proof that you NEED RDF to be able to enjoy the game, you want it to make it more enjoyable for you.
100% I want to do raids but I dont NEED to do them, when I once in a blue moon get benched I dont even try to join a pug unless im personally asked to join it by one of the few pug organizers I know.
It dont sound daft at all though. You clearly want to have a easy time getting shiny things by ether getting yourself to level up a bit faster or later on by being carried through dungeons before you have the gear to tackle properly. Thats what I get out of you thinking that wanting to raid but not needing it is a daft statement and also why you think the game actually NEEDs RDF. Now I once again ask you for proof that its actually needed (a good way to prove it would be to show that we are trending towards to low of a population for the game to be able to continue and that they all would come back if RDF was put into the game)
