The people that seem to be whining the most seem to be the purists when any potential change is requested on these servers. Pointing out the very real grind does not equal whining.
No one is saying the game is horrible or we wouldn’t be playing it. Settle down cowpoke.
Asking for an xp buff to an accelerated version of Vanilla doesn’t equal retail and doesn’t equal SOD. You don’t need to panic at every requested change. It’ll be ok either way <3
Exactly, I haven’t experienced this problem (of all mobs being killed “for hours”) but maybe that’s because if I go to a zone like that I just move on and come back later. Is it this guide everyone is talking about – does it make you do everything in an exact order? That was never how the game should have been played.
yes, everyone is following a strict leveling guide and refuses to deviate from it even slightly because that would require using a few of their brain cells i guess
There’s been a huge drop of players because classic is actually a pretty terrible game as evident by all the posts here demanding changes.
Before you says “mega servers” let me remind you that while originally there was no mega server there was also no layers or hyper spawns so full servers had the same competition for mobs back then as they do on mega servers.
What you’re realizing is you are not enjoying classic like you remembered and that’s totally normal because people tend to forget the bad and only remember the good parts
Why are you in such a hurry? What is waiting for you when you finish all the quests and hit 60??? Slow down and enjoy the journey and stop begging blizzard to ruin ours by dumbing it down…
They were also in SoM, and it still doesn’t make it retail or SoD
Agreed. But some are obviously whining. Just fwi
No, I am not. You’re being silly, bud. I am leveling, and having a lot of fun. Again, since you seem to be confused, asking for changes and voicing opinions does not equal whining, I think you need to work on knowing the difference. Enjoy Vanilla with me, accelerated xp or not, I know you’ll still have fun, here or on Era
Yes, and that’s one of the 2 places I mentioned. Seasonal and retail.
People who are happy with what the company presented for Anniversary are playing and having fun. There’s no solid reason to change the game those players are happy with to accommodate a few players who don’t enjoy leveling, especially when they have those options elsewhere.
Good to know you are handling it. Then you have no reason to ask for +XP.
Thanks but I play with a more RP oriented crowd. People who like the original game mechanics. The more you take away from the journey the less of an RPG the game becomes. Take retail for example. Many of us feel that the tag “RPG” no longer applies. It’s become more of a raid, collection, lobby game. Which is the reason many of us no longer play it.
Genuinely curious why you are here and not on Era then? If you love the original mechanics, isn’t something like dual spec enough to tick you off? Is it the sense of player population and fresh economy that draws you here instead of Era?
Because they claim to love Era (which is probably true) but they dont love ‘Permanent Naxx40 Phase’.
What they really love is ‘the leveling phase’. When that’s over, they cry for another round of O M G F R E S H.
Eyr has 10000+ posts that clearly demonstrate this (but you’re not supposed to notice).
I’ve always been team #NoChanges. Lock era at 1.12.1 and I’d be happy. F chronoboons and bring back spell batching, idc. I just want the game version to be left alone and unaffected by all these random seasonal modes Blizz invents out of thin air.
Yeah because kicking at 60% of the cast and still having it go off or landing a heal on a tank just to have it batched and the tank dies (loh tank, dead, loh on cooldown) is so much fun
If you play proactively instead of reactively, it’s exceedingly rare that stat values reach the point where deaths would result from spell batching anyway. Just look at HC raiding if you don’t know what I mean. Be more pre-emptive in your rotations if you’re losing tanks to playing catch-up.
Besides this, I’m not saying that I’m in love with spell batching or advocating for it, my original point was that too many changes to Fresh basically turns the experiment into SoD; and that all these tertiary seasonal modes being on the same game version/client as Era has introduced adverse experiences on Era.
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this here or in other threads but, as a #someChanges TBC/Wrath lover, I understand this and will gladly fight for you to have an unaffected vanilla server. But these servers are clearly not going in that direction. I personally am happy to see changes, but I also want the purists to have a real home with fresh experiences, and you guys don’t have one, which sucks, truly.
yall do realize that you arent even playing the same version of the game that used to exist right? theres already changes. and they keep adding more changes, yet somehow people are still crying for no changes and changes at the same time? chronoboons. did not exist. there was no “oh lets remove rank decay” back then, we are not playing a #nochanges game anymore, games been changed multiple times. if you want boosted xp bro SoD is literally right there. wanting an “unaffected” vanilla server is unrealistic, because most of you people dont even remember what the base vanilla game actually was anymore… you only know classic, and the entire concept of vanilla/classic is to beat your face against quests/mobs/dungeons.
