One of the big ‘‘selling points’’ people used was that WoW classic would be more social. That people would somehow be forced to interact more.
Yet I saw the exact opposite. People being incredibly busy solo leveling. No time to talk, no time to interact.
The grouping that does happen is usually already made clicks of people that already know each other.
This is nothing like classic was, it’s a rat race to 60.
In fact it is much less social than regular servers.
Odd, that’s far from being my experience. Are you being 100% honest here?
Got lots of new friends and yet im only lvl 29
This isn’t a Classic problem, it’s a people problem and nothing short of a time machine will bring back “the classic experience.”
Welcome to modern gaming baby, it’s a mess.
My experience couldn’t be any more of the polar opposite.
I agree with you, but I think it’s only at the beginning. People want to have a high level asap. So I hope they’ll slow down in a month or something.
OP just lying
i haven’t talked and interacted this much with ppl in game since… well… vanilla.
Lies! never had so much social fun in wow for ages.
I don’t know what to tell you…
I add and get added regularly, spend lots of time in groups and even chat about random stuff. I’m doing all the elite quests I bump into though, not AoE farming or solo grinding.
It has been complete opposite to me. It is practically impossible to do anything without someone constantly inviting me into the group. Even in the cases when it’s not really needed, like when doing “collect x amount of stuff” in area where there is plenty of spawns for everyone or even in cases where i am just running past someone.
It is common misunderstanding that social actions would come from forced interaction. Good, community building social actions come from voluntary kind acts of players towards others, for example: buffing others, helping people out, being friendly. I have had people come and help me when i overpull and i have done the same for others, i res people if i see them die, give greens to those who walk in white, grats when they ding and so on. The way classic world is built helps with this kind of interactions happening, because there is need for such kind acts. Not because people would be forced to do that. But i have definately received so much kindness and given it back as much i can. It has nothing to do with forced groupping.
Not true, Every elite quest I have spoken and met people and grouped. Never had a problem grouping. So many people in the lvl 30 areas and stuff is so overcamped there is always someone throwing invites out for a group. I will get over 10 invites a night just soloing.
I just finished the Morben quest in Duskwood, there were so many groups going for him, along with the Bride quest. I could not solo those zombies to grind just because so many groups were wanting to invite me.
then don’t join the shathole faction that is alliance.
Cool story bro.

I was leveling enchanting so I went to towns like “FREE ENCHANTS, +5 HEALTH, FREE ENCHANTS FOR EVERYONE!” 
First of all this is satire post. Second of all hordies are bunch of edgy people we all know that.
It’s been hit and miss for me. Dungeon groups have been great. I’ve already added a bunch of people from the few runs I’ve done. It’s mainly whilst questing people seem a bit less social. I’ll get random group invites from people doing the same quests but they won’t say a word. At the same time though if I make the effort to say hi then 90% of the time they’ll respond.
The biggest issue I’ve seen is toxicity and elitism in public channels. I guess it’s to be expected but seeing new players ask questions (as obvious as the answer may be) and immediately get told to “go back to retail” is pretty offputting.
It must be a ally problem, i dont have any issues making friends or having a good chat
That’s because you run into retail-minded minions who are in a hurry to hit 60 for some reason. Myself, I have grouped up more than I did in the last 10 years. I’ve chatted to more strangers than I did in 10 years - hell, I even made a new in-game friend yesterday.|
I’m sorry your experiences are so bad, but your experience is not the standard.
I prefer retail, but classic sure has been a social experience.
Join the RP-server. Everyone was helpfull and chatty
