The word purely means entirely; exclusively. It was not exclusive to WOTLK and it was not part of the entire expansion. It was however part of the entire Cata expansion.
RDF was part of all of the Cata+ experience and NOT purely part of WOTLK or the major experience. It was added in the last phase of the expansion. It was absolutely part of a portion of WOTLK but it was NOT purely a WOTLK feature.
We are right now in phase 1 of Classic WOTLK. Nothing of what was claimed as “the better leveling experience” did even exist during this phase of WOTLK retail.
So I pointed that out. What was described was the Cata experience and not the WOTLK experience. When we played all phases of Cata we had those features. When we played WOTLK we did not have them for the major experience, aka any of the progression until the last phase.
With that said. RDF and LFR have no place in Classic and I hope they never add it no matter how long it was or wasn’t part of any expansion. It’s just not what Classic is all about.
The Joyous Journey buff feels pretty Classics though. As long as it’s for a limited time. It adds something to the game without taking anything away like RDF does.
lmfao, this is the beginning of the end. Extreme easy mode retail-like feature pumped into the game in desperate attempt to save the declining player count.
I was leveling a character to 80 but I’m not sure if I even want to continue now.
You’re overthinking it, it’s purely a super transparent attempt to get people to join the game and be ready for Ulduar which is widely acclaimed as the greatest raid Blizzard has ever made.
There is no other reason for this buff.
edit:
Should note that this is going to fall entirely flat on it’s face unless they get their thumbs out their rears and actually unlock the servers as they promised to do.
What does RDF takes away again? Social interactions which most of the time are kept to bare minimum since there’s barely need for more? People from the world which is already barren since others either rush through it or already sit their asses in Dalaran and their faction capital?
It’s not just that. One thing that is crystal clear in the world in general, not just on the internet, is that more and more people are getting their kicks by spoiling the fun of others. They are only happy if others are not, and that’s all there is to it often enough.
Not AN innkeeper. Big city Innkeepers only.
You roll new? Go all way to Capital go get away buff. Dangerous at level 1. Not nice. Why not ALL innkeepers?
Do you have any example of gatekeeping in dungeons so far?
My experience is that people bring anyone that is willing to join. Every single group have one or two low gs bad players in crap gear that hardly know the basics and no one even lift and eyebrown because it’s so easy anyway.
U know what u can do with ur joyous journey. u can stuff it where the sun dont shine. Typical Blizz pandering to whiny forum brats who hate this game but play it anyhow cus there addicted.
