Basically people in their thirties who play this game still. Do you ever find yourself reading forum topics or in game conversation and thinking, “Man, I don’t have a clue who any of these names are or what these words they’re using mean” and then proceed to wonder whether or not the time of the founders, us the original players, has come and definitely gone? I’d like to have a discussion about this while we all have nothing else to do besides kill ICC rares.

No, and I’m closer to 40. I will never call myself a founder either.
I’m pretty over the whole “I played in…” crowd. No one cares. Raspberry

It wasn’t a bragging point. More of a reference to the point that I’ve been here for a long time and sometimes it feels like too long. Any other opinions?
No, the game does everything to appeal to us and our inability to commit a lot of time to the game, to the detriment of the game.
I feel too catered to.

Oh this one is interesting. Would you mind explaining this more in depth?
Legit lol to this hahahaha
Playing pretty consistently since BC and in my 40s.

I don’t M+ so I don’t have the IO score thing and understand exactly how it works. If I started running m+ I would figure it out. 
Is that what you mean?
I’m 33, been playing the Warcraft franchise since WC 2 when I was 8 years old.

RaiderIO is an addon. It tells players what your experience is so they know if they invite you, you won’t drop group and leave them with a failed keystone. At least now keystones just downgrade and you don’t have to run a successful one first so it’s not as big of a deal.
It’s pretty much the new gear score.
This is a good example. I DO M+ and I remember learning raider io. At first i thought it was a scam when it kept asking me to become a “patreon”. “Do they mean patron? Isn’t that what I’m doing now patronizing this website?” but I figured it out.
I don’t know as I would say I think that my time with the game has come and gone, but it doesn’t appeal in the way that it used to.
I know the terms that people are using around here, though WoW isn’t a game I play almost every day for several hours and am pushing top end progression like I did back in Vanilla->WotLK.
I doubt it will ever be that game again for me.

I think of all the posts so far, I’m feeling more like you. I’m glad the game is moving forward for sure. It’s why it survives. I mean how many of you have tried Classic? Shudder.
I’m 36 and started with Orcs and Humans AMA
#void elves and pathfinder were a mistake

An addendum, rep gated races and pathfinder part two were a mistake.

Little older, not much in my 40s but most of the time in chat and discord I have no idea what is being said.
In my mid-40s and yeah… sometimes. Not about game things mind you, just other random bits. I have an 18 year old daughter though, so she makes a very good translator. 
I’m 32 but pretty much in the same boat here otherwise.
I don’t ever think this, though. Maybe I’m just on the forums too much.
I enjoy Classic quite a bit, though the community hurt things once you hit the end game with the obsession over min/maxing everything in a version of the game that really didn’t have tightly tuned raid fights.
I’d really be looking forward to a TBC or WotLK server, which smooth out a lot of the rough edges of the game.
It’s just a shame that such servers would never see new content developed under the design philosophies of those eras.
