The "Social" problem of RDF is a strawman argument and not the biggest problem caused by RDF (long post).


I see most people when arguing about RDF saying that the inclusion of RDF butchers the social aspect of the game but this is simply not true.There will be only a minimal difference in social encounters between RDF and LFG.The only difference will be people wont whisper you "inv tank/dps/heal".The only thing RDF changes socially is the group forming part nothing else.Generally there will be alot less social interaction present in wotlk dungeons since they are really easy even heroics and they are really streamlined.So what are the problems of RDF then, well there are several and I will list them, but since the subreddit is heavily biased for RDF these real problems wont get mentioned.The biggest problem of RDF is the causation of emptier zones there will be a lot less people lvling on the overworld when you can just press a button and get tp´ed to an dungeon, this is further caused by the tabards you can get at friendly rep which skyrocket rep gains.So Quests will give you rep (not always and its more restricted) gold,gear (not always) and xp.Dungeons in comparison give the you a bit less xp less gold way better gear and probably the most important one rep which you can choose from with the tabards.Also there is no competition in Dungeons compared to questing in the overworld.The advantage of RDF is just way to massive compared to questing which would kill the incentive of questing in the overworld, if you ever played on a private server especially fresh ones you know the moment you turn lvl 20 you have RDF constantly activated.Dungeons should be a commitment to do since their advantages are balanced around that commitment.Lastly I want to say that the issue of not finding dungeons is way overblown by people being mostly entitled to get invited into groups but providing no effort to do so.By this I mean these people wont form their own groups but will cry about not finding a dungeon group or people HR certain items in a dungeon its pure entitlement.I however think there should be a better way to find dungeons below 70 for people leveling in Azeroth.
