Everything you just said is completely wrong. Gear in classic is EVERYTHING when you’re only using 3 abilities to attack

I disagree. There were a lot of things that were done better in Classic. Immersion was much better in classic, power progression was done better, the community was freer and openly communicated with each other in classic, combat was better in classic, and thematically classes were much stronger in a lot of areas.
Yes, there were obvious flaws, but, to assume the game was worse in every other way besides the story, is absolutely absurd.
Not every forum poster is a guy.
That’s your opinion.
Gameplay is superior.
QOL is superior.
The raids and bosses are more complex and interesting. (not everything is Ulduar or ICC)
You aren’t restricted to a server.
Class and Combat you are out of your mind.
Combat is smoother, but gameplay in general isn’t better, though this is subjective.
You mean the QoL that they’re continually reverting and changing? There are certain aspects of the game that are better QoL wise, and some worse.
People complain about this, but I would agree.
No, the combat was more meaningful. You put more thought into combat, even though your rotation overall could be simpler. Now you just mash that AoE button as you charge into 40 mobs, and then move onto the next set of mobs… over and over and over.
Yea, I will NEVER agree with that and I’m sure the majority would agree with me.
Changes didn’t happen in classic constantly? Oh…
The majority of rotations were 1-2 buttons and mechanics were simple for boss fights, with very little thinking… gameplay has become more than just mindlessly pressing 2 buttons. That’s a good thing.
Really? I never knew.
I’m sure this statement has no value.
Such as?
You mean the thing that I just mentioned?
Ohhhhh…
It wasn’t that before. before you had to use CC and plot your actions. There’s very little of that now outside of high end M+, but even that’s mostly on autopilot. And the rotations aren’t super complex even now, or rewarding.
So, is there just no one posting on classic forums? Is there no activity that the trolls feel the need to come here for attention?

Classic is so amazing that I am going to spend my time telling you how amazing it is rather than playing it.
- Classic characters
You might want to check the parsing numbers before getting ahead of yourself.
Vastly more people are completing Sunwell compared to all difficulties of SotFO, and that is not taking into account the fact that people are still actively running all other older raids in TBC whereas there is almost noone replaying CN or SoD currently.

Discussing retails flaws belongs on the classic forum? Oh sorry my mistake.
The community in classic was better becausd you had to interact with people to play the game.
Everything else about classic, especially gameplay was WORSE by a large margin

Since you wanna talk about those “numbers” post em?
645,881 parses for Destruction Warlock alone in Sunwell. That is already more than all Sepulcher parses (or at least close enough to it)
There are also 5 more specs with over 200k, and another 4 over 100k.
No source? Well if that’s how we’re doing it, we got 12,421,649 feral parses… I’m not trying to be a douche, but if you want tp supply numbers… you gotta source em. Plus it’s just raid parses… you could have 40-50 pulls per character, so that’s a big * for parses.
Why do you think they’ve cut Shadowlands short? It’s bleeding badly. FFXIV does everything retail does but better, despite the fact I’ll never play it due to not enjoying the aesthetics. I can only endure retail for less then a month before I realise they have failed to enact their promises of improving the game and it’s still the hollow cashgrab riddled with boosts and carries and boring currency grinds and arbitrary time gates and gold sinks.
Classic is for people that want to relive their past.
Retail is for people that can’t move on.
Everyone has issues.

It’s ok, I’m sure they will fix it all for Dragonflight as they’ve said they are listening and have heard us loud and clear and this time unlike last time they heard us they understand and will fix everything with… PLAYABLE PSEUDO DRAGONS!!
I’m not saying SL is good by any means and it is the end of the expansion. But I’m pretty sure more still play retail by a large margin.
No it doesn’t… gameplay is clunky, all classes feel the same (melee to melee, ranged to ranged, heals to heals) and PVP is worse than Vanilla WOW’s PVP.
Then stick with classic, the classic forum is… there? Why not talk about it in there. You wanna rehash content that’s probably been done hundreds of thousands of times, go for it… most people in general are retail players.
