After the realm is done "progressing" and the whole content is released will there be RDF? I like the leveling experience,but I have limited play time and I don't want to have to level alts without dungeon finder.
Also how will wotlk heroics be handled? Will bosses drop emblem of triumph ?

Question about RDF

Probably EoH
EDIT: Also Kaer Said that RDF will never see the light of day in Lord.

There will probably be no RDF until much much later. It may be reconsidered, but that is unlikely. Don't get your hopes up.
We haven't decided on how we'll handle emblems yet.

I do hope RDF never ever happens. I do LOVE it as it is now without it. RDF might be handy dandy and make dungeon groups easier to find. but it ruins the community. Thats atleast my opinion.
And to be honest i find groups as fast without it as i do with RDF. Its not like its hard to use chat to find a group

The plan is never, however plans could always change.

you could have left the RDF open till TBC for example. Now as alliance ill never see the day of SFK, Caverns, and that dungeon inside orgrimar. I could shout all day in global but no one really bothers with them. Obviously its much easier to get groups manually when all the dungeons are in one place (northrend for example)

Honestly I find it stupid. Spamming quest to level gets boring over time, and I bet not many care about the 'socialization' while doing dungeons - I actually socialized way more on old Lordaeron while doing dungeons via RDF than now (which I do one per week). Sure, it's a hardcore realm, but RDF should be enabled if nothing at least at the same time it was on retail - (same content tier), because it breaks the monotony of same quests all over again in each zone (kill x this, collect y that, loot z there) and helps collect emblems a bit faster.

I too was really disappointed when the majority wanted no RDF. My guess, they didn't know what they wanted. It sounds all cool and stuff, but the questing grind is such a pain and i'm guessing more people see it now.
For me, this is the only downside of this server, in the long run. It's the only thing that still lets me wonder if I'd be enjoying another server that had this option more.

I did not like the idea that RDF is disabled, but once I got flightpaths near dungeons it became not a problem and people usually are willing to do more than just one run and kindly share all of their quests for particular dungeon.
I hope staff will give us a chance to gain emblems by doing dungeons.

I never really understood why people dislike RDF so much, I find it very handy at max lvl especially, but it also breaks the drudgery of questing. And I like spamming HC 5 mans at 80, when I'm really bored.
People who want to talk and "socialize" will do it anyway, people who don't will just say "lvl 40 hunter, inv pls" or whatever, then stay silent throughout the dungeon.
IMO RDF should be enabled once ToC/ICC hits, if not for everyone then at least for max lvl players, but it should be a thing.
^For me, this is the only downside of this server, in the long run

Agreed. That was one of the perks of WOTLK.

Yes, I totally agree. I do love me some good quest lines, but I do not care to do it again.... Hopefully maybe in the future it will be reconsidered once the major content has been released, that we can have a bit of a break from quest to quest action.

Yesterday i tried to make group myself, since for me as dps i bit problematic to get in for a days. But you know what, it was so damn good without rdf, after one hour spam in global for a tank i feel totally socialized and can speak anyone now. Than i asked adventurers to go for summon but it seems was bad luck, we had no any adventurers in group, so i decided to go myself, but meanwhile people was leaving party and at some point i was alone. i can confirm "no rdf" truly changes your life.
But you know what, most my dungeon quests are gray now, this means soon i can do all of it by myself, so not big loss.Edited: October 11, 2015

I was part of the crowd who initially found the removal of RDF to be a rather enticing feature or lack thereof but I soon came to understand that it was a unique concept that looked good on paper but was actually not well off in-game. RDF has pros that outweigh the cons, the "hardcore experience" and "socializing" is not all its cracked up to be. For the initial few months of expansions and bug fixes RDFs absent may prove fine, but later in the realm's life we might need it. I understand that the devs are more anti-rdf but please consider adding it or implementing it with limits per day; it is the issue dividing the community the most at present.
This is for the health of the realm, we care about it's continued success and the players' enjoyment.

RDF depupulate the world. With RDF people do not have to leave the major cities. They can stand outside the bank and *poof* they go to a dungeon. and then back. with RDF it is actually possible to level to max without even leave the city. You only have to quest in the world untill you can use the RDF.
Same thing when you are at max. You can just stand inside Dalaran all the time. With RDF the game world gets dead. or atleast much less alive.
