Believe it or not the community is so stupid that in legion that’s all they complained about . ‘’WE MISS THE SIMPLER DAYS WHEN WE WERENT SOME ‘’HERO’’ AND HAD MORE SIMPLE ROLES WITH MORE IMPORTANT CHARACTERS THAT WE HELPED “ and killing boars specifically was used by asmongold as an example what he nostalgically liked/preferred to the current situation. Ironically now people laugh at that since we got classic. I just hate this stupid community that cries about everything left and right.

Honestly you did not miss as much as many try to claim, vanilla wow was seen as amazing during its time due to this vast world of mystery that you were free to explore. The majority of classic was trash and so were the players, many did not even do any end game content with pvp being the biggest thing at the time. Majority of players that want vanilla want it back for the player interaction that once existed (not that its gone but just shifted the areas it's in).

@brandondoor 6 жыл бұрын

totally incorrect. You did miss a LOT. This game was launched in 2004 back then there was simply no game like it. There were other MMOs but nothing could touch the raw player count and open world that no one knew. It would not be the same to play it again now that tech is so much better and class balance was very bad in the old days but if you played it back then, it was incredible. Vanilla isnt the best game ever and it was fully of issues, but for its time it was a marvel of technology that literally shook the world and our culture. I would avoid down playing how amazing it was to log in back in 04-05 and play with friends and your family guilds in a huge world no other game could give you.

@mrpetebojangles21 6 жыл бұрын

You’re correct... Vanilla WoW... was insane. And magical is the only word I can think of. I was so in love with it and exploring as much as i could. Entering new zones for the first time, hearing the music, and the world, it was amazing. People knew other people even across factions, you would develop nemeses and rivalries. 40 people having to meet at a flight point and traveling together to black rock mountain, and the guild fights the would occur.... amazing. Downing onyxia or Ragnaros for the first time.. so good.

Haha yeah I see why some people feel that way. I would say most people just crave getting to max level where I personally believe the real game starts. When you reach max level there is a lot of grind, and reducing the time it takes to reach max level might reduce fatigue where you feel like if leveling took too long then it would be disheartening to start grinding just like you did when you were leveling. I hope that made some sense

For me, personally, Wrath of the Lich King was the height of my experience and love for WoW. I loved it, because as a punk kid who played Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness when I was 12 years old, and been playing Warcraft games since, it felt like it brought a closing to part of my experience after killing Arthas, one of my favorite hero's in the Warcraft universe. Plus, it brought us to Northrend, and fought against so many cool undead enemies, and the DK was so much fun on release. However, after watching this, and hearing some of the details that go into each expansion, I have a newfound respect for each expansion, whether I liked them or not, for the effort Blizz put into each one. For this long time Warcraft player, since 1995, I'm pretty excited for Battle for Azeroth, the first expansion I've been excited for in a few years. The intro cinematic did its job on hyping me up, especially with the last shot of the Orc and Footman squaring up, with very similar poses to Warcraft 3 I believe. Anyways, i have way too much nostalgia and memories to list since Vanilla, and it was pretty cool to see and hear the way WoW evolved chronologically.

I quit the game on the last day of Cataclysm. I started the game back in 2.1 in burning crusade in 2008. Got serious about the game in Wrath of the Lich King as a hardcore raider. Was with in the top 10 warrior tanks on my server and within the top 30 warrior DPS on the same server during the end of wrath. Then I completely burned out in Cata. Pushed 2 toons to 85 in less than a week or 2. My warrior main made it to 85 in less than 3 days after launch. Came back to see the end of Cata and do some raiding. Fun game and great time with the folks I played it with. Most those folks don't play it anymore. For me the game turned into a loot grind that felt more like an unpaid job than a game at the end of the day.

Only thing that could kill WoW was WoW itself. It's been downhill since the end of WotLK. This is what the general part of WoW players think. I felt amazing going back to Classic WoW on Nostalrius' private server. So we can only see if Blizzard manages to resurrect WoW with future Classic servers. I'd be happy to come back then.

@HarvestrX 5 жыл бұрын

I still enjoy it but agree that classes have been watered down. Those that claim it died years ago confuse me though. Either A. they are still subbed or B. did all of BFA in a week and then QQ'd about being bored and unsubbed until the next expansion launches. In the end for me, no MMO is perfect. I like ESO, but its not WoW. I like GW2, but its not ESO, and its not WoW. In the end, WoW still pulls me back in like no other MMO does. Last of all, $15/month is not a reason to hate the game or to label it as evil or greedy. Sure, free is always the best price! Yet I would bet a lot more than $15 that those complaining about a subscription spend more than $15/week on fast food and energy drinks. This isn't judging. I love my carbonated beverages and drive-thru burgers just as much as the next guy or girl. Yet I realize that just as that food isn't free, neither is using someone's server on a daily basis.
