SoM has failed

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Somehow the game has evolved into becoming even more min/max than before. I thought that SoM was intereresting at first, yet nothing changed. Rogues and Warriors are still the top dps specs with mages and warlocks in the back. The only thing that is different is that the raids are harder, that’s it.

Classic is a journey, an adventure and a lot of people detest min/maxing in a game that can be completed wearing greens. We just want an adventure, we don’t want to sit in a raid for 4 hours a day trying to kill the next boss. We just want to explore old forgotten kingdoms, ruins, fight some big bad dragons in a cave and reward loot that is fun. Instead Blizzard doubles down and caters to the hardcore min/max community with this trash.

Like I wrote in my thread. It is a horrible experience and not worth the time.

I saw your thread and I agree with some points, but I am also skeptical in wanting to introduce things from other expansions into classic wow, like the TBC honor thing as an example.

Classic is so easy that you don’t really need BiS to do content, and I find it funny that the reputation rewards for PvP are so abysmal. I would rather have them upgrade PvP reputation gear than to follow footsteps into TBC.

The bottom line is that while some grind is good, too much of it just leads to a chore.

I am mainly talking about PvP for R11-R14 gear and PvE High End Raiding.

And if one has done it all before, it is even more of a chore.

They did mention that they weren’t interested in changing classes or anything like that because if someone wanted to play a spec that’s not very good in Classic they could do that in TBC or retail or whatever. But honestly, SoM is quite the low effort project, and the interest from the community in it reflects that. Like imagine they made new raids and zones. People would be all over clearing new content and SoM would be a lot more popular. But few people are interested in raiding MC, BWL, AQ again, even if it’s technically harder. Still the same raids, still the same loot. Who cares. And all this on a 1 year seasonal server with no future to it whatsoever… yup, many questionable decisions were made with SoM.

They tried to make Season of Mastery super competitive to appease the competitive crowd, alienating everyone else in the process.

i dont get this thread TBH. I considered SoM to be for those HC minmaxers/speed people. Classic Era servers still exist for those that want the levelling/exploring experience.

See there’s a small snag with the Classic Era Realms: They are pretty much dead.

Except they failed to even get the hardcore players, because people that speedran and a lot of top guilds aren’t interested in playing Classic without world buffs.
