When will you people understand that this is a 20 year old game, with standards from 20 years ago…
It’s what you asked for, J. Allen Brack tried to convince you, that you really don’t want this back, but still you knew better. Now don’t come here and QQ.
J. Allen Brack is still wrong (for me).
I’m enjoying my time in Classic way more than retail since WOTLK. At least i have the feeling of playing a true MMORPG.
Some players are a bit sad about it because what was done by less than 5% of the players during Vanilla is now done by more than 80% of them.
It’s the same game but the players “killed” it and it’s probably truly NoChange for those 5% who were already min/maxing like this back in the day.
The World Buffs meta killed the raid content and everything around this content like crafting, boss aren’t even doing their few mechanics properly because they are crushed, healers doesn’t even struggle with mana because fights are short etc…

Indeed. Retail stopped giving us the sense of MMORPG

Oh hey, have you heard about retail?
I heard that all you guys are doing is whining about classic after all.
Don’t you play classic too?
Yeah, but if all they’re doing is moaning about classic… especially regarding difficulty of raids, why wouldn’t I say go to retail.
After all, the hard content is in retail.
I couldn’t even stomach leveling past 82 on Retail, while I leveled 5 lvl 60 alts besides my main on Classic (haven’t boosted any of them either)
Maybe there actually is some difference between Classic and Retail? Who knows

In terms of leveling, there is.
End game wise, they feel exactly the same.
Sigh
The reason why classic is not hard is the environment that made it hard are no longer present.
When classic was released strategies were much harder to find, they were guild secrets, the client was buggy, players didn’t know their optimum raid set-up, consumables, there weren’t addons to trivialize parts of the game and equipment and they hadn’t been playing the game for 15 years.
So if you want a “more real” classic experince.
use no addons
use poorly optimised raid setup
with players in less than optimized gear
don’t use any strategy guides
and finally find 39 other players that played wow for the first time in 2019.
Then you’ll have a challenge.
WoW classic is a MMORPG - the RPG is the role-playing element, it’s designed to players can role-play and still finish the game. That means Enhancement Shamans , Ret Paladins, Shadow Priests. And not “well we have a shadow priest, so there”. You might have only Shadow Priests for example or only Ret Paladins. No consumables etc etc.

Uh no they don’t.
Part of a big reason why I dropped the game before even reaching max level is because of how uninspired and alien the current gameplay looks like. For example, I played Retradin both in TBC and WotLK, but the Retradin as it appeared to me in BFA has basically nothing to do with how it used to be. Many skills are completely missing, the few ones with the same name works in vastly different ways (Divine Storm, Judgment, etc), and the new skills are basically all different ways and flavors of saying “you do damage to something”. I doubt this feel would just go away upon hitting max level, and I sure as hell am not going to suffer through the leveling just to try.
And it’s not even the class gameplay. Multiple difficulties and an emphasis on speedrunning really makes me unwilling to even consider something such as Mythic+ dungeons. As much as I can enjoy the occasional timed challenge like Baron Run or ZA bear run, having the entire content based around beating the dungeon within a certain time limit doesn’t appeal to me. At all.
And I could go on and on with this. There’s so many ways Retail manages to feel less appealing to me than Vanilla/TBC/WotLK, gameplay wise, that reading you saying it’s “basically the same” leaves me halfway between laughing and cringing.
You can laugh all you want, the gameplay in classic is unfinished.
Ret paladins = auto attack.
Warriors = Auto attack
Rogues = Auto attack.
Majority of their damage is just auto attack.
99% logs are just doing 40-50% auto attacks.
So… yeah… gameplay as a melee isn’t exactly fun in classic lol.
Retail end game and classic end-game are pretty damn similar.
It’s the rest of the features that are completely different.
Okay for retradins… but you can’t rly tell me that Warriors are “all auto-attack” lol - a large part of Warrior’s DPS depends from how they spend their rage efficiently. I know retail might have led you to believe that it’s a boring/unfinished rotation unless you have all your GCD filled up and at least 4-6 spells on your rotation with some kind of “resource” to build up and several reactive procs, but that’s more your perception than anything. I don’t rly need anything of the sort to feel like my class is fun or enjoyable to play, and to me “flavor” and “class fantasy” counts more than generic buttons that all do the same thing, just on different cooldowns.
I don’t mind if such a frenetic playstyle arises naturally from a class/spec’s own fantasy/concept, like Enhancement in WotLK. But when it’s basically forced into each and every class/spec, with little effort to give said abilities something resembling “flavor” (I hardly even remember the names of the skill my BFA retradin used, because of how utterly generic they were), then I just don’t care anymore. I know it’s subjective, and you might prefer BFA classes. Personally, I find Vanilla Warrior or TBC/WotLK Ret far more interesting and enjoyable than BFA Ret.

Did you one shoot AQ40? Or are you some random individual that watched a video of people doing it and came to the WRONG conclusion that if they can do it so can you so you came to the forums complaining about something that you have no idea that you can even do?
Hush! No logic allowed in emotional posts from people complaining about the achievements of other players.
