:warning: WARNING: CLASSIC WOW IS NOT A GAME—IT IS A LIFESTYLE, A SOUL-SHATTERING GRIND, AND A TEST OF HUMAN ENDURANCE :warning:

Classic WoW is not here to entertain you. It does not care about your “casual gaming schedule” or your “real-life responsibilities.” No, you are about to step into a world where progress is measured in weeks, death is a financial catastrophe, and every mob is an unholy abomination designed to obliterate your will to live.

You want to level? HA! That’s cute. Enjoy your 30-minute corpse run because you pulled one extra Defias bandit and triggered an entire civilization to descend upon you. You want to run a dungeon? Buckle up, because you’ll need four hours, a candlelit summoning ritual, and a summoning stone that works 10% of the time. Oh, and don’t even think about quitting—because someone WILL hunt you down IRL for abandoning the group in Sunken Temple.

And raiding? You sweet summer child. You will farm for weeks just to afford the potions needed to enter Molten Core. Your guild leader will be an unhinged megalomaniac demanding full attendance, full consumes, and your soul in exchange for a 1% chance at a loot drop that a rogue will ninja anyway.

Your repair bill will haunt your dreams. Your hearthstone will be set to Ironforge for eternity. Your tears will sustain you, because food costs too much gold. You will spend hours fighting for a mining node, only for some level 60 rogue to appear from the shadows and erase your existence in 0.2 seconds.

But if—IF—you make it, if you grind through the pain, the heartbreak, and the existential crisis that is Classic WoW, you will know true glory. You will stand in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, clad in your hard-earned epics, as peasants kneel before your sheer dominance.

Or you’ll just get ganked in Stranglethorn Vale. Forever.

Welcome to Classic WoW. Your suffering has only just begun.

We are reaching the levels of cringe that were previously considered physically impossible. It is almost fascinating in it’s terrifying beauty. Cringe off the charts.

You underestimate the power level of my… credit card!
Buys 10000g to get boosted to 60 and then raid log for the next 12 months.
WOW is SO EASY!

I dont know what version of classic you are playing mate… I play on Alliance on a PvP server, and it has nothing to do with that wall of text you wrote!

Think you gotta find your self a guild…

Edit : typo

I feel sorry if your experience in Classic is bad, but for me, even with all its flaws, it is still the best version of WoW implemented so far.

I actually cant get enough of classic. For me its the investment into your character i love. Everything feels meaningful.
I logged on retail at season 2 launch and Im struggling to get that bug. Ive never been big on the goofy side of wow as i like the traditional wow fantasy and now we have a whole seaspn dedicated to the goofyness. I done the undermine campaign, done heroics for my 8 vault rewards (skipped siren isle and got curved and ksm in seaspn 1 and stopped) so i got a bit of grinding before i can do mythics/raiding. But do i really want to?
I think i might stick with classic and skip this season. I feel that retail is just a endgame loop, I have never been a massive collector so farming mounts and tmogs aint really for me, not a fan of delves, heroic dungeons is just run to boss spam aoe and I am not sure i can be bothered with the mythic+ rat race

My only complain is about raid consumables. Right now I’m spending 20-30 gold per week which is acceptable to me. But I need to put a weapon enchant which is like 250g. I need to buy two crafts which are like 1000g total and they are BiS. I’ll need to buy a flask every week in BWL which is like 200g right now and probably will be more. And I have 40g right now total, LoL.

So, yeah, raiding is expensive. Or at least my guild requires it to be expensive. I don’t know if it’s truly necessary, but that’s the way things are.

Not a biggest issue in the world for me. I’m leveling alt to farm money. I expect to farm 100g/hour which will cover my expenses. Will be rough for a few weeks while I’ll need to rank at the same time… But hopefully it’ll get better afterwards.

Do not play on PvP servers. Problem solved.

Cheers

Completely agree with this. The game loop is pretty mich the same for the last few expansions and you’re right about goofy stuff. Even as a big collector, I just lost my motivation to play retail since it became way to far from the WoW fantasy I like or want. Don’t see they are getting back on that track any soon, so Classic is actually my home and I am pretty happy that we got new servers. Hope it will progress to WotLK and that we will get permanent TBC and WotLK servers, like ERA. WoW Classic, curretly is the best version of WoW for me.

I wish they erased me from existence in 0.2 seconds but instead I spend the rest of my life in CC.

I don’t think the OP was being entirely serious, it was clearly a joke post intended as satire,
but people seem to be taking it entirely at face value.
