Why nobody is pointing that out ?
I don’t play retail and I remember Vanilla perfectly in some kind of situations.
Levelling in Classic is a bad joke.
For example spirit proc way more then Vanilla.
You never need to eat.
In Vanilla eat was a huge factor.
You remember of course that also the food cost was a factor back then.
Now you don’t even need to buy food.
I can easily kill 4 mob together with a rogue.
Do you think I know everything about vanilla ? No I don’t.
You can go back to see solo video of players, top players back then, that knows a lot more then me that have way more trouble doing certain things.
In Gnomeregan we had a pull of 2 elite and 5 adds normal.
Hot on tank aggro killed the priest in the beginning of the fight.
We were able to kill everything in 4 without priest.
Good luck with that in Vanilla.
Also before the priest came back the mage aggroed an elite.
And tanked it…
Without healing.
Back then people were ready to remove a mage for that because usually priest heal the mage (badly but insticntively playing ), the mage die instantly, the priest that healed him get aggro and died instantly too.
In that case the mage keep on shooting the elite. We helped him. He got nearly 7 hit.
He end the fight with 85% of health. Really ?
Are you kidding me ?
All those mechanics are just my memory of Vanilla.
You don’t remember that kind of things ?
You have never played Vanilla in that case cause this kind of things were a knightmare back then.
And what about MC ?
Come on that’s ridiculous.
Apes are certainly a huge and experienced guild, probably the best of vanilla nowadays, Nihilum best in vanilla for sure.
But without any equipment and 15 char below 60 is obviously ridiculous. Blizzard is trying to justify that by the huge modern skill. Of course…
And what about Onixia ? They got 19 char killed at 40% of Onixia health.
And were able to kill her in 15. Really ?
40% of onixia with no gear and under levelled ?
You really don’t understand what’s going on ?
Retailers pointed out that now players are way more skilled and know everything. All the players ? Sure.
Retailers pointed out that Vanilla today is too easy.
So I blame Blizzard that feed them with a Classic way too easier compared to Vanilla to allow them to keep going on that way.
Business model of retail is in total contrast with Vanilla. The real Vanilla.
Classic seems to me easier then Vanila by at least a factor of 3.
This is a really bad joke.
You can experience something for the first time only once. Everyone gets better with time. If you want the true Vanilla experience you need to somehow forget how to play WoW.
Cuz classic is based on 1.12. “Hard” videos from vanilla you are comparing to classic is way before 1.12. It was said many times before, classic will be (and as we can see, it is) way easier than vanila.
1.12 was 3 times harder than this joke of classic.
Let’s not even talk about what was Vanilla before that.
People 15 years ago didn’t know what keybinding was ?
Really ?
Another joke.
15 years ago players were dumb ? Yeah for sure…
Good luck with that too.
I dare every vanilla player to deny those things.
If you don’t remember those things you probably have never played Vanilla.
That’s your problem.
So what are you talking about ?
This is because you remember the pre 1.10(?) patch vanilla. Before the classes got the talents re-balanced and elite quests and quest elite mobs were nerfed to normal mobs. I played since patch 1.5 and i know exactly what you mean.
1.12 is indeed a little easier, but you still get the vanilla vibe. I do enjoy it.
