Star rating only
It felt like back in the day, the mechanics are normal. Only halfway through TBC with 3 toons but it's been good and stable. Generally, groups are good... once got into TBC content people seemed more 'faceroll' demanding of their tanks. Might just be my experience as a SEA player but RDF seems a bit toxic to newbie tanks. However, I do love it
