haha i’m not that desperate to chat with randoms.
Preach it! I can only agree!
So what you’re saying is you dont talk in dungeons and somehow that’s an us problem?
My dungeons go nothing like the scenario posted. Nothing even close.
Since Wrath came, I’made multiple friends and our guild recruited most of our raid roster during these dungeons. Problem just might be you.
Why have i got like 15 new guild mates because of no rdf?
I can confirm this. In 70% of cases, people write nothing but 123. They don’t even greet each other. People complaining about the social aspects of the game and how RDF killed them stopped playing the game immediately after RDF release or they play with their friends and don’t care. RDF doesn’t have to teleport players to a dungeon. I can click one button in Dalaran and go make myself some tea while a gryphon takes me to a dungeon or just type 123, it’s not a problem. And you call that the social aspects and open world? Pressing one button and waiting 3 minutes instead of 5 seconds to load and chatting 123 for the entire dungeon instead of nothing? Blizzard needs to stop listening to clowns who don’t even play their games.

Literally open with hello in every pug I do and get nothing in return.
What exactly are you proposing be done to facilitate a chit chat experience at that point?
How about stop making stuff up for a start.
bet i waisted 24 hours trying to find a groups
blizzard this not fun anymore
What stuff is made up?
It’s not the lack of chit chat, they’ve told us the reason RDF was removed goes beyond chit chat so I’ve assumed they don’t care about chit chat or lack of it.
It’s something more that bothers them, a lack of open socials maybe. No wait can’t be that as RDF facilitates doing more in the open world by removing the need to spam lfg.
Maybe it’s the overall social aspect of the server, no probably not cause RDF doesn’t dent that either. In fact again by removing the need to spam lfg to find random players (you wouldn’t use it to find friends as they get a special social UI) you open up the options for the player to be more immersed in the server socials.
Maybe it’s RDF doesn’t make meaningful connections. Oh wait no, RDF puts you with players that are potentially outside your current social circles and therefore provides a door to meet new people and make connections.
Hmmm, why is RDF bad again?

They’re slowly starting to shift towards not RDF being bad but “the system we have now works” which is laughable 
The “social aspect” that people refer to has nothing to do with talking but with this:
“LFM X Dungeon, Y item reserved, orb reserved, unwanted reserved, be geared (meaning BIS geared”
Giving players RFD would take away their power to have absurd demands.

Didn’t say it was good, I said it is most likely the main reason Blizz push on with the no-rdf thing. Personally I wouldn’t mind server specific rdf for Northrend (and possibly Outland) dungeons only, and a limited number per day. The dungeon finder was not initially intended to be a convenient way to level or grind currency anyway. At first it was just a ql addon for the daily heroic.
Not even I presume to think Blizzard is this stupid. Congratulations.

Just stating how it was dude, literally a daily queue to do the (daily) quest for a heroic dungeon. Took a patch or two before this was changed so you could spam it.
No, it didn’t.
What you’re describing is the situation leading up to RDF.
Call it whatever you like, it is not an argument. Before you could queue for random dungeons there was a short period where the daily heroic quest let you queue for a match-made random group and you would be ported to the dungeon. I can’t remember how long it was before the daily restriction was dropped, but it wasn’t very long.
This never happened.
this.
As of with every game title, experience and information kills the inmersive and naive experience (experience that we all miss somehow).
Warcraftlogs, streams, competition and all of this has gone wild since 2012 to 2022; and this social context affects the nostalgia right in the heart, because we aren’t gona live those days anymore.
