I’m finding it really fun , i know that sounds crazy but i am having fun whereas in bfa i am not. That doesn’t mean Classic is better i don’t think that. I have had so many social interactions in 10 hours than i have had in years. That’s no joke. Nice to see zone and trade chat doing what they were purposed for.
People comparing it to bfa i feel is unfair. They feel and play like two completely different games but with … the same skin if that makes sense.
To be fair… If you are having fun in game A, and you’re NOT having fun in game B, I think that pretty much means game A IS better, at least for you.
This is what I found when I played Nostalrius & Elysium private servers. I’ve checked back in to retail every now and again and I get bored within 2 weeks. Hell, I played a few days of Legion and decided to pre order Battle for Azeroth - then I gave up playing the next week as I was bored. I paid £40 for battle for azeroth but never played it once.
Whereas on the vanilla private servers, I could play for months on end. It is more fun.
Do you even Thottbot?
A lot of what you’re saying sounds really logical, but mobs, characters, talents and items were all increased/decreased and made easier with each expansion (or some anyway). The point is, players were a lot squishier in 1.0 to TBC and maybe even to WOTLK. I’m not sure i’ve actually died in retail while leveling and I came from 2 expansions prior…so my gear was utter trash. I died even before level 10 in classic and I was laughing when I did 
It’s difficult but that’s because my mindset and playstyle was still on retail mode. It’s two different games altogether, there isn’t that feeling of having to rush to 60 at all.
Still in Mulgore on my druid and level 11 but it’s been fun fishing to keep that up, same for first aid, collecting herbs, alchemy and grinding so you can afford to purchase new abilities.
There is a lot I think or will do myself in planning before moving on to another zone or area within a zone.
It’s nice that even you’re 11 in a zone you haven’t out levelled it within a few quests and can just take your time, enjoy the slow pace of the game and don’t feel rushed to have to get to end game as it’ll be over and moved on withing 18 months to 2 years or so.
Retail is fine in that way, but I think I prefer the Classic way (first time playing this version of WoW) in that there isn’t that feeling you need to rush.
If other expansions got this treatment then the only lesson I want Blizzard to learn is that it’s not a race, things are fine if they take a while to get to a new level cap. But also, maybe fix the story by actually not repeating the same mistakes like they did this time around.
WoW Classic could be a refined, finished product where unfinished plots were finished and characters introduced got more in-game time, that sort of thing.
It won’t happen and Vanilla is all we’re getting but like to hope one day in future that we might see another WoW develop storywise differently or done better without need to rush an expansion out every 18 months or so, let Retail do that. But Classic would take it’s time and only release something once it was perfected.
Both games would survive on their own and offer the same IP to totally different players.
Just like in Vanilla, I am playing a night elf rogue. My character is stronger than I remember, I die a lot less than I did back then, perhaps mostly because I have more experience, and I spent a nice fun while questing with a random stranger I ran into, and we even did the journey from Darnassus to IF together. All very friendly and similar to Vanilla days.
Personally, I won’t be playing retail much for a long time now that Classic is out. This makes me remember what I loved about WoW. Retail makes me think of all the things I hate about WoW.
doing great. no issues with qs or laggas or dcs. been playing for the past 2 days ALOT
The past 2 days was mostly in Queue, but the gemplay i got (Hunter 14 lvl) was a blast :). If only those damn queues were faster 
Finally a WoW version worth playing again, where one has to actually use both hands to get somewhere. Having to put effort in stuff in order to gain something which then feels valuable instead of pressing a random button and get instantly rewarded. It’s good to have mobs again that can actually kill you if you aren’t careful, having the blood flowing I’m feeling alive in this game.
To have to actually read the quests to understand what to do instead of mindlessly clicking the windows away and follow a blinking light like a zombie, not having a clue what the story or lore behind it is.
Oh yeah I’m loving it.
Apart from the queue problems, it’s great!
I’m loving it atm, questing with friend and have done Dead M with randoms as Paladin healer. Good times
It’s been great - “your position in queue: too many!”
Uhm go on BFA as a lvl 1 and compare to Classic. In BFA you can pull 5 mobs easily.
You need elemental precision talent
How insane is the low drop rate on that harrpy quest in Northwest part of the map xD
Also the Dwarf quest is just too brutal if you are trying to solo it,god forbid if you pull the prist mob xD
Im abolutely loving it. ON quirk i have is that all my friends and their friends friend their mothers friends their uncles and nieses and grandmothers firends and them boys on the moon decided to play on Firemaw. Aired the idea to go on a another server, had a discord revolt. So now we are all playing the Queue game.
So far it’s more waiting to get into the game than actual playing.
oom yes, die not yet 
If you’re not dying, you’re not playing it properly
