Why is RDF not being implemented into wotlk?

It was a big part of wotlk and to not add it is a bad decision for alot of players. If people don’t like it and would prefer to make group the old (and much slower) way nothing is stopping them from doing this. Why would you make it more difficult for players by taking a feature that some people enjoyed.

I don’t enjoy raiding, does that mean i can start asking for it to be removed instead of just not doing it?

Sure, you can ask.

Classic is meant to be about community, dungeon finder killed that off. Having someone in the group that maybe isnt performing well, so everyone just decides to kick them because theres always another person in the queue. That was pretty bad. Noone liked a party member leaving mid instance and trying to find someone in lfg for hours but that doesnt happen anymore really, i can honestly say ive not experienced that in tbc

Hoping blizzard stick it out for the betterment of classic

That’s literally false and obviously so.

How was it a “big part of wotlk” when it only came out in the last patch?

Because it was implemented in 3.3.0, not 3.0.0.

Wrath lasted two years and RDF was part of the expansion for almost the half of it.

I have experienced it, in multiple normal and heroic runs. And it absolutely sucks having to find someone when most of the bosses are already down, especially when people mostly do them for badges.

I’ve mentioned this in other threads as well, but what people seem to forget is that as a leveling player it is virtually impossible to find a group for a dungeon. Especially on lower population realms this is an issue and your only real alternative is paying a mage 15g/run to boost you through a dungeon to get quests done which I can’t imagine is the design philosophy.

Wotlk will be based off of 3.3.5. LFG is a feature/system (and not content like a raid) so people are/were expecting it to be on launch.

who says that? And whats the definition of community? Spamming general chats? Classic was Vanilla wow. WotLK had Dungeon finder. If you dont want can play season of mastery??

We want the authentic version of WotLK, which means Dungeon Finder too. There are several polls on multiply sites show that 95% of people want the LFD…

There never was any community in 5m TBC dungeoning either, especially after the first couple phases when ppl no longer need careful CCing to get around stuff. If I wanna have a community feel I’m gonna play raids instead, where people actually are on voicechat and I can talk and laugh with other people while playing the game. If I’m in a 5m dungeon pug (which 99% of the time isn’t on a voicechat to begin with), then I’m not gonna waste time writing on chat when those hands are already busy playing the game. The fact actually grouping for and running those dungeons take way too much time for the number of badges they give you - compared to something like Kara or even ZA - doesn’t help, either.

Without LFD, it’s not that we’ll have more “community”, it’s simply that a lot of people will simply skip dungeoning altogether and just jump into Naxx, especially once Ulduar also comes out and nobody rly needs dungeon blues anymore.

Dear Mr. Phife,
can you tell me from which expansion are you playing WOW ?
i am playing it from vanilla. And your arguments are absolutely out.
In WOTLK community has not been in good shape even before RDF. What killed it totally was RAID FINDER not Dungeon Finder.
For most of the people dungeons are pretty much boring and it is just necessarily evil. Because who would like to go 8x Nexus just for one item and even spend everytime 40 minutes to find group? On OROGINAL Wotlk i dont give the s… with who i am in the group. Just want to complete the dungeon and get reward. In the open world or raids hat is different story, when guy save you from ganking rogue, these are the times when you can make the friends. Not when there is 5 pissed off people in the dungeon caused they waited 40 minutes to get to the dungeon just for one f… item which has not dropped.

Just because it’s a system doesn’t mean it should be there at launch nor in it’s end version. The BoJ system Changed alot during tbc. We didn’t get the BoJ system of the sunwell patch from launch.

Disagree with almost everything you say. Have also experienced leavers normally at wipes in some heroics on tbc. Have also spent ages trying to get into heroic groups. Getting kicked for no reason sucks yes i experienced this too many times over the years.

Behavior like this should be reported as griefing. It’s just another way trolls try to ruin others experience.

Exactly - hope for it to be added halfways again.

ICC wasn’t there at 3.0.0 we should remove it then?

Community???
hahahahahah

and in wotlk are so many badges how they wanna do that without RDF thats gonna be alot of spam every1 who played on a private server knows that these experiments were made and they completly failed it just doesnt work in wrath specially are the zones super annoying and not very pretty and reachable besides grizzly

There’s a pretty good chance you got kicked because you were clueless and bad. That’s usually why people get kicked in dungeons. Try and immerse yourself a little in the game. Read up on mechanics, choose a decent spec, stop standing in fire.

Sounds like you need to join a guild.

As I’ve mentioned before, any meaningful social interaction has and always will come from healthy guilds.

However, LFD has nothing to do with that.
Just because you’re in a healthy guild doesn’t magically give you access to 4 other people whom will cover all roles needed all the time for you to run dungeons with, regardless of your current level range.
