Was going to play til’ I realized you guys are charging money to get a level 58. Going to pass on TBC just like Vanilla. I had some interest, but it’s really pointless to have to go through the entire leveling process just to get to TBC content.
It’s not against the rules. But that doesn’t automatically exempt it from being griefing, if someone is deliberately doing it to keep you from getting a tag on something.
My theory is that people who use the word “entitled” as a slur are the entitled ones.
TBC prepatch reminded me of why I fell in love with WoW in the first place. Remember when a new xpac dropped and your character advanced and was added to? New talents, new abilities, new crafting professions, ect? Now a WoW xpac comes out and it is pruning, squishing, scaling, and adding temp items that we already know will all go away after the xpac.
I do get what you are saying though, it did feel more meaningful back in the day. Though idk if the grind is worth giving up the QOL changes over the years. Having a quest take you 2 hours to complete vs 15 mins just based of how cluttered the zone is and who tags the mob first is not fun. I remember when Classic first launched and my Tauren Shaman was lining up with ~50 other characters waiting for Chief Sharptusk to spawn, get killed, respawn so the line moved 1 by 1. There were always people jumping in and tagging him lol and the group limit is 5 people when there are hundreds on the quest.
You have new, worse grinds in retail. It’s not net QoL if you have maw dailies and renown grinding when you respec and conduit energy to slow your respec time and caps on soulash and caps on this and that and everything else.
It’s not QoL if they make the game a chore to play.
It’s hardly clear what’s happening. This is the internet, where people can post anything and others will flock to justify the worst behavior to give themselves an excuse to call other people “entitled”.
