Cancelling sub because game is too easy

Blizzard I didn’t wait 15 years to play a game where Rag could be downed by level 55’s in greens. You gave us NERFED CLASSIC. This is a watered-down version of the game. You were too lazy to tune the pre-expansion patch which was meant to get everyone caught up to Nax. What are we paying you for? However part of me really suspects that you did this on purpose so that you could say “SEE, you thought you did but you don’t, we TOLD YOU SO” and hope we all go to retail out of boredom. What a disappointment. Bye.

Was gonna ask if I could have your stuff, but you don’t probably have anything interesting on your lvl 29 toon anyway…

Oof, imagine thinking MC was ever hard. People just sucked more back then.

Maybe you sucked. Stop projecting. This idea that players were idiots back then is idiotic. Spamming frost bolt in raid is not hard. The problem is basic math, the itemization upgrades and huge buffs to talent trees along with boss nerfs gave us a very watered-down experience in 1.12 meant as the “catch-up” patch to get players to Nax. You aren’t such a l33t pro compared to the average player 15 years ago. When MC was first released players needed BIS blues along with max fire resist gear and pots to even THINK about attempting Rag. Trust me, the guild that took six months to get a world first Rag kill knew how to use key bindings.

Or maybe you suck more than you think you do.

You do realize classic isn’t release version but the last patch which ofc is easier than beginning.

2006 gameplay in a nutshell

So that video is dated in 10/06, while MC came out in 2004 and patch 1.12 was 08/06… Can you trolls please try harder?

First Rag kill by one of the best guilds in the world half a year after MC release, and most of the raid is dead by the end:

But these trolls want us to believe that the only reason lvl 55’s in greens can do it now less than a week after release is because of “l33t skillz”.

I’m not sure that video proves what you think it proves. Then again, on the other hand I am quite sure that you made a mistake upon character generation.

Clearly you meant to pick “Troll”.

Actually it proves my point exactly. It shows that it’s not a question of complex mechanics, it’s a question of math. At the original difficulty there was no way level 55’s in greens with zero fire resist could take down Rag by spamming frost bolt.

Um please refute this.

You pretty much copy-pasted all the patch highlight page from wiki, ignoring all the dozens of class-talent-item buffs that happened from launch to the 1.12 we are now playing.

Mate you should stop for a second and think about it.

This game is 15 years old. We had tons of time to learn every little aspect of it. Average player now is skilled as the best guilds back then. Its just simple fact.
It doesnt matter what activity you do, if you do it for 15 years, you will become master of it.

Lets roll some examples for you.

If you have sex for your first time, you wont be as good in it as it as you will be at it after 15 years.

If you go out right now and sign up to qualify in any sport for Olympic games, everyone there will beat your ***.
Why ? Because they are doing it for long period of time, most of them since they were little kids.


The point is, people knew key bindings back then, but they didnt know the raid and all the class / gear mechanics as we know them now. You can just google it in any second, they couldnt do that, because sites like Thottbot were still young.

Srsly WTF are you talking about. Thotbot existed and contained all info and drops, I remember googling all gear I needed from dungeons and planning accordingly. That was 2005. The classes and raid bosses aren’t rocket science, after 300 hours of gameplay pretty much everyone who made it to a raid knew how to play their class. All the boss strats were available through google. If anything the average player today is WORSE than back then.

Watching lucifrons debuffs I see mortal strike up there among a few others, terrible debuff management by the raid, sometimes less than 8 on the boss.

Players were so so bad in those days.

Dunno what you are so worked up about Vindolf.

Classic 2019 is not your new Retail endgame replacer and nobody ever said it was.

On the other hand, questing to 60 is much like i remember it. I’ve lost count of the numer of corpse runs i’ve done so far. :grin:

You’re late to the party, people were complaining about 1.12 version of the game way before the game was even out.
They said they don’t have the data for the previous patches so they gave us the TBC pre-patch, no matter how much you bang your fist on the table it’s not gonna magically give them the data for the previous patches and get them working on making the game a patch-by-patch re-iteration

Whether they do possess the data or not, whether they’re just giving us the 1.12 version cause it’s the most stable and it costs them the least amount of money in labor cost to reproduce, that’s the lie they want us to believe, so believe it

You sir are completely clueless and total idiot with your silly and arrogant behavior. BEST player back then is the complete AVERAGE player of today. People didnt even know their pre raid gear and were raiding with d0 sets lol.
In the video you linked of the world first rag kill i see a crappy geared rogue with fiery enchant weapon’s clicking abilities, an arms warr with crappy gear and some crappy geard rogues with lifestealing enchants. GTFO now cause posts like this irritate me.
And last but not least YOU KNEW ON WHAT PATCH CLASSIC WAS COMING BEFOREHAND. Why the fk did you join then??

Maybe if you all would stop whining on the forums so much, you’d actually get past level 30 and do MC and see that all that you’re saying is full bs.

Even if these bosses hit thrice as hard and whatever magical upgrade you think the talent trees got never happened, their mechanics are incredibly barebones. Most of the healers in my guild are decked fully in prebis raid geared because we all farmed like crazy.

Just look at that video you posted. Where’s the fr buff from ubrs on the melee and tanks? Where’s the greater fire protection pots? They’re not even positioned properly. A lot of people have been farming these raids on private server for years, every single optimal thing to do is known.

Most of the stuff on that ‘nerf link’ is completely inconsequencial since most of it isn’t even in this phase and a lot else is just stupid nitpicks. What you think that mp5 change is gonna change the difficulty of bosses that have 3 mechanics in total when we have a 8+ healers decked in prebis gear and know how to click a potion of mana?

And yeah when YOU walk in and kill ragnaros with lvl 55 tanks with no fr gear give me a call really. Until then maybe either quit already or stop whining on the forums.
