Classic was a bad idea

people:goldbid runs,dungeons boosts,premades,reserve everything,rush to lvl 60 in 3 days
also people:we want true vanilla experience

i dont know if its a millenial thing.maybe you feel youre some special kind of a batterfly and you think you should have anything you want without effort.
maybe its the game’s outdated systems and you people abuse it,since you can.
all i know is that i need a new game to waste my casual time and get rid of this community

i didnt think id say this,but blizzard was 100% right and i stand with them for the very first time.i thought i did but i didnt expect all of this to happen

also.by releasing classic theyve found a new way to make money out of us and they dont have to make a new game.a wow 2 like every other company is making.they were surely thinking about it.i mean,it is dying.maybe they were making it in secret,but theyre postponing it.were stuck with a 20 year old game ,its outdated systems and im playing it because its stable.immagine that

I really don’t know what people expected from a game that was on private servers for years.
People will min-max.

They release a subpar product and refuse to fix broken aspects in order to appease to a nochanges crowd that left the game for retail a long time ago. Don’t blame it on the game, blame it on Blizzard.

No, us no-changes people are still here. People that wanted changes are the people that left.

Classic was always going to be this way, that’s how the playerbase is. The worst thing you could possibly do to an MMORPG is to ask the company publishing it to limit how players can interact with each other.

That’s just pure irony at it’s finest, not that I expected anything different from you. Protip by the way, Azzul; put a space after a full stop. Like that, right there.

And lastly; a serious question, though I honestly don’t give a rat’s backside about the answer:

Why do you keep making the same damn thread every other month?

It was a mistake releasing then completely abandoning it.

miylee you know what?im just gonna be honest with you

i didnt even read what you said.i just saw your name and cringed sry

you come in every post,bringing toxicity and comfrotation defending premades.when people dont want anything to do with you,you think that its your 0 nonsense arguements that stoped them.i think youre rude,toxic,naive,ignorant and i strongly believe that you and people like you are the reason that this game is dead.i think you thrive in confrotational online places like this and this says a lot for your irl existence.

i really dont want anything to do with you and ill ignore you

She’s basically saying that you’re talking bs. Your thread is the only cringe thing here.

Yeah, you made that much obvious half a year ago.

That’s adorable.

You LITERALLY made a confrontational post, AGAIN. You’ve done this every few months now, making a post crying about the playerbase and then suddenly expect the player base to agree with you.

Then you cry at us when we don’t agree with you.
You truly are a special kind of stupid.

I think you’re an absolute idiot with a brain deficiency.

Cute. The last time you said that, it included “lol reported”. How far did your reports go?

They were about as useful as your thread.

The problem you have is simple. you play for 2 hours a week and expect to be on par with the people that play 4 hours a day. Go to retail.

I believe Mages almost singlehandedly ruined classic. They destroyed low lvl content, which basically made the game very unappealing for new players. They were able to farm ridiculous amounts of gold that basically inflated the whole economy and made things like gbid raiding very lucrative. Even retail players are lvling mages with the sole purpose of doing gold trading for their main toons on retail, because they can farm like 3-4x the gold p/h on a classic mage. They are mainly used for botting and running auto scrips for instance farming.

They could have done something, but they never. Black lotus mafia was also a big part in ruining the economy of the game. They tried to fix it, but just made it worse imo. The damage was already done and people had tens of thousands of gold already saved. The game was never intended to have people bidding 20k on 1 BWL item. No class or player should be able to accumulate enough gold to warrant spending that on 1 item.

I had fun ranking with old friends to rank 12, but it wasn’t anywhere close to vanilla. I had better experiences of what classic was like playing on fresh private server realms.

Capturing classic essence turned out to be impossible and all it lead to this…boost-simulator, gdkp-fest, fotm-mage filled, bot-filled toxic downfall.Streamers and the awful community and level-rushing, min-max mindset they brought at the start was a damage factor too.

But despite this all, the first few months? Now that was a really good experience, especially the levelling is a good trip in this game when done normally.I loved revisiting old zones and captured that feeling I wanted.No regrets.My money at the end is well spent.

Current and on forwards, doing end game content? Feels pointless.I only came back to finish the levelling I left at 50’s and I am almost done, literally zero incentive to do max content.Played at launch one month, then another now to finish the journey, I would say it was a mixed bag, with the good and bad.

TBC classic was the most interesting one for me, as it’s my most favorite expac. but I guess I’ll pass it to not taint my TBC memories with these min-max scum.Since I already experienced the wholesome levelling-thing once, I have no desire to taint my TBC-memories.

The game is still great fun to play.

However in their classic signature style, blizzard managed to screw up many things and inflict great damage to the game.

If anything is impressive how well the game is holding up in spite of the plethora of management mistakes.

They in their classic signature style, sure did that.As usual.But it cannot be blamed on them alone, this time.

Simply some people’s mindset in 2020 and their scummy min-max ways while playing a 16 years old game did the unreversible damage.Not Blizzard.

With all due respect, what do you know? You stopped levelling when lvling was a thing and came back at endgame with no intention of doing endgame.

Seems a you problem to me.

Classic is a place for spoiled, arrogant and selfish people. The most care for nothing other than their own success: They reserve loot, often the most special loot such as the legendaries from Molten Core to further their own success. If people stand in their way for the Scarab Lord title and the Black Qiraji mount they team up with other people, even cross faction, to gank or disrupt the players they are sociopaths against so they can’t progress, until the gankers/disrupters are ahead or have completed it before them. All in all there is no respect for any kind of player who are approaching the game as it is meant to be played, the normal competitive, sporting way where the one in the lead often wins. The bottom line is that Blizzard seems to not care for this abusive behavior and lets it go unpunished.

All together Classic is lightyears away from the authentic vanilla experience as it can be, and if we knew how people would behave there when Classic was in development it would be better to stop and spend the resources on retail WoW or another Blizzard game. I think that Blizzard see how many that actually play Classic today and that they see it as a giant failure when it comes to active players, and I really hope they will not do any of the old expansions as Classic servers too. It’s a waste of resources and investment money when so few plays it, and again it would be better if they were used to improve retail WoW which is much more popular.

Why do people hate goldbid runs so much? Have you actually been a part of gold bid runs in BWL/MC/AQ40/20 ? Most of the time you exit with more gold than you entered with.

How come? I simply levelled up to 50, had to quit due to busy IRL reasons, came back later to finish the journey I started.Tho, I did huge part off it while it was fresh.

Now? I simply have -zero- intention to dwell in the end-game content with world-buff-hugging min-maxers in a 16 year old game, where already simple instances are further triviliazed due to people exploiting every-single-thing possible.It wouldn’t feel rewarding to me.

Don’t wanna hurt your feelings but the current ‘‘endgame’’ is a joke.It was meant to be done 16 years ago, you are late.

You know what… not everyone does this, not everyone likes playing like that, not everyone enjoys that. 90% of people in my guild refuse to get boosted as they prefer the Classic questing experience.

Classic was a great idea, classic still is a great idea. I’m enjoying it so much even almost 1 year later.

Don’t try and push your own thoughts onto everyone else. The whole point of WoW is that you can play the way you want to play, you do what you want to do. You’ve obviously been playing with the wrong crowd.

I love the game, the community, my guild and so do thousands of others. We’re not interested in being tarnished as having the same thoughts as you.
