Ah, I see where the disconnect is. If I had been clearer in my wording, I would have said that there was a trend of this behaviour within this thread itself, not the greater tribal unit itself. Thank you for pointing that out to me, I appreciate it.
Alas, love. We shall. Though know that I will still love you forever and always as your loyal Incubus. Ready to serve and please with but a moments notice.
Im excited. I havent logged in in over a month and i cant say it even phases me. I know my brother is coming back to play, so thats great. Classic really was great for me, i hope i still get similar enjoyment…
Beginning May 15, select WoW players will be invited to participate in a small-scale, focused closed beta test. Players will also get a chance to help put our servers and technology through their paces in a series of stress tests running from May through July—you can opt in now through Account Management and select the WoW Classic beta. Subsequent stress tests will extend the opportunity to even more players. Level caps will also be in place to ensure we’re emphasizing the “stress” in “stress test”
I’m not excited about vanilla. I do not want to give up what I’ve earned over the last 15 years. Nor do I want to give up the QoL improvements sincve then.
That being said - I do want vanilla elements back in the game.
Removal of PvE seasons.
Removal of free catch up gear
Removal of TF
Deterministic rewards
Finite grinds
Difficulty being progression not arbitrary “grind” retention systems.
etc.
If vanilla does well … Blizzard might get a clue … which seems to be lacking from their current designs.
I used to think that way too until I unsubbed and started playing other games. Then I realized all that little stuff you dismissed help realize a world, engross a player in the experience and create a sense of satisfaction upon mastery of the game. Having wow super streamlined and efficient has lead in my opinion, to a detached feeling where the journey is glossed over and adventures become simple chores you do to complete x for y. I think that’s what people mean by the whole rpg not rpg.
I myself am not interested in classic (no space goats and lolret) but I really wish pristine servers were a thing.
