The game needs personal loot or raid/dungeon loot currencies, people just quit because they don’t get loot, also people stop doing dungeons/raids when they don’t need anything from them, SoD fixed this with reals but the amount of buyable items was very restrictive. Also HRs are a plague in Classic.
They also need to make leveling harder, like 400% more EXP needed for max lvl, people just reach 60 and quit, vanilla is all about leveling. Maybe give a 300% EXP Buff for alts after reaching 60 with 1 char. Buyable world buffs like in SoD or no WBs is also needed, a lot of people hate the WB meta.
Balance changes need to happen, but not as much as SoD. SoD content would be a plus + more mid game zones. More races and class combos need to happen (like add the Belf and Draenei starting zones but not Outland). More talent points or the TBC talent trees would be cool too.
This is awesome idea. Personal loot without item trade even in raids. I’d love it!
This is also awesome idea. Just would like to add, that it would require to prolong first phase. For me, comfortable time to level to 60 is one year. So with 400% more exp that would make 4-year phase 0. I’m all for it, I love slow games. Current anniversary speedrun feels so terrible and exhausting, I can barely take a breath.
Also huge plus from me. Blood elf druids are mandatory at this moment. TBC talent trees need to happen.
This has been discussed thoroughly on multiple threads. You should read those threads, and see pro’s and con’s.
Increasing the xp needed by 400% is a laughable suggestion. Maybe YOU think vanilla is all about leveling, but the wast majority dont think so. There is a reason why so many rush to 60s, to start enjoying endgame content. The good items are at the end-game, thats why people wanna get there.
i spent 6 days played getting to 60, as a mage who aoe farmed. You want me to spend 4 times as long? Have 24 days played for 60?
Edit:
You honestly want each phase to last FOUR YEARS?! There is no way the game will survive with each phase lasting that long, lol. Sorry to say, but thats actually an insane thing to even consider.
No, I’m talking about leveling phase (before MC is open). Other phases should last longer than today, so everyone playing from the start could realistically get drops they need from the raid. 6 months should be enough. Right now I didn’t even get MC drops I need despite the fact that I raid since second lockout and it’s already close to phase 5. With free R14 that’s kind of fine for me, grand marshal gear is crazy powerful and free for all, but that’s another problem that need to be solved also.
