Back in my day

I think I had more patience back then. Well sort of. It’s messed up, I don’t know how to explain it. For example back then you’d give me a book to read I’d run away from it like the devil from holy water. But for some reason I’d read anything on a screen. Remember those old RPGs? Like that Torment game? I read it all. All the text. Now, you make me read text in a game and I’m searching for the skip button, on the other hand, I get my hands on a book and read the first few pages, I can’t function properly until I finished it. It’s strange.

Not only that, but I had to walk five miles, in the snow each way to my computer.

Don’t forget Druid’s and paladins who thought they could tank in vanilla dungeons. You had to poly one mob, sap another and have the arms warrior off tank another while the Druid tanked one mob and called themselves viable

And having to mine each ore individually until the node was exhausted. And you could fail when attempting to pick herbs depending on your skill level.

Back in my day mobs couldn’t swim. You get in water just deep enough and you were safe.

You laugh at me now, but you try being taken by surprise by a devilsaur in un’goro.

Then we’ll see who is laughing.
