Pre-patch - No RDF
Phase 1 naxx - No RDF
Phase 2 - Ulduar - No RDF
Phase 3 ToC - No RDF
Phase 4 ICC - RDF added to the game.
RDF was not part of the leveling experience or the major WOTLK experience or any progression. It was however part of all of Cata and all of the Cata leveling experience.
So I pointed that out. What was described as the the WOTLK leveling experience was in fact the Cata leveling experience. When we levelled and was progressing thought the WOTLK raids we did not have those things.
Also I use the word experience because that word was used in the post I commented on:
Non of that was actually available in phase 1 when the leveling experience for an expansion happens. Just wanted to point that out.
Exactly. And when we levelled our mains in WOTLK retail, when we had that leveling expereince, did we have any of the things you mentioned? Queue for bgs anywhere, xp in bgs or RDF?
Indirectly yes. You are talking about features that made the âWOTLK leveling experienceâ when in fact the WOTLK leveling experience did not have those things you mention. Not until the end. Meanwhile Cata had that leveling experience. So I pointed that out. And that was how the discussion started.
Not sure what you are saying. We are still in phase 1 and everyone have been leveling in this phase.
And I pointed out that what you describe is not the WOTLK leveling experience and is more like the Cata leveling experience.
We did not have a single one of those features you mention in phase 1 when everyone was leveling and having the leveling experience. RDF specifically was not added until the last phase and wasnât part of the leveling experience or progression of that expansion.
I canât see a single time you even mention alts in this thread directly or indirectly.
Anyway
Personally I would not describe leveling a bunch of alts at the end of an expansion as âthe leveling experienceâ of that expansion. I have vivid memories of my leveling experience from WOTLK retail (including alts during progression) but I canât remember a single alt I leveled in patch 3.3-3.3.5 and I know I leveled a bunch of them using RDF.
