Why did they add RAF?

[BaboonX]

Why did blizzard add recruit a friend and make you rely on your friend to level, and if you go solo you well level 3x slower? I mean, I would of recruited my self for the mount and maybe 100g and thats what I think they should of done..


I really like leveling solo, but with everyone else leveling at the speed of light it makes me want to quit to a different game. I think blizzard is keep getting more money hungry..

Here's my list on why I hate RAF:

• It makes you totally rely on the person you recruited. If that person quits/leaves your screwed.
• I look back when I played 2 days straighte level 30-50 over a weekend, now people are doing that in a day with out even trying.
• It makes leveling to 70 in the past like a huge waste of time. It's some what un-fair to the people who leveled one or two 70's before RAF
• It makes blizzard more money hungy, the only reason they did this was for money.
• It makes you have to recruit someone. A lot of people even recruit them selves (like I did) just for the EXP bonus..

I don't hate RAF a lot, i mean with the leveling cap being 80 and all it saves a lot of time. And 1-60 is the boring levels imo and you can just zoom through em now.

I give blizzards recruit a friend 6/10, its great with the next 10 levels, but bad for the reasons i listed.

Discuss?

1.) No, then you can still level solo. You aren't "screwed" by any means.
2.) So? You should be happy. 1-58 is extremely tiresome and boring because they haven't revamped content at all.
3.) But guess what? RAF doesn't last forever. So if the recruited person wants to make another class down the line after RAF expired, they have to do it without the EXP bonus.
4.) Making false assumptions never makes your argument more valid.
5.) You don't HAVE to do anything. Blizzard is not forcing you to use the RAF program.

They "nerfed" leveling so more people can enjoy the endgame content instead. Just like they did with patch 2.3 when they made it alot easier to level.

I know, this is more of a QQ thread why they added this though..

Why didn't they just add the 3x exp bonus for everyone then? Just to make money. Next time read the whole thread not just the thread title

money kinda obvious

[gravestalker]

I have a question, why do people work at all? Because they love to go to work? No (maybe) they want the money! You can't tell someone to work for free and they will be happy with it. The whole point is because Old Content sucks and is boring. New content is fun and they want people to experiance it. WOTLK is completly based on highlevel content, and giving new players a boost along with the people who showed their friends this game deserve. It's your choice if you want to do the RaF but if you wanted to test out a priest would you rather pushing and torturing yourself through the boing parts or skip to the parts Blizzard has spent so long making.

Just because they added something that will make them lots more money does not mean they are money hungry.

I don't really see the big problem with it

[moonlit011]

i dont see why you would complained about RAF
1) it makes your boring 60lvls go by 3x faster than normal
2) if normally you asked a friend to join you, wouldnt you still have to help out with their quests+instances runs, cept this time you can CHOOSE to re-experience the lower lvl content with them
3) if you want to recruit urself, thats fine too
either way you can use this program to ur own advantage =_=

Easier to bring newbies to this game.

op, quit being a cry baby.
They're not releasing new content for newbies, so they're trying to get them past the areas where noones at (newbie areas).
I think it's a great idea, i played on private servers for ages because of the fact that it took ages to level on the normal servers.
