It was less about grinding out the gear in classic and more about leveling and socializing with people . Right now it’s farm your mythic cache with random strangers or azerite power.11/03/2018 11:21 AMPosted by PillówPeople upset that they get an opportunity to earn mythic level gear for doing trivial content every single week are in for a huge wake up call when they realize that they have to work their !@# off to obtain gear on that level in classic. So no, I don’t think that will be a reason people will quit BFA and play classic. Gear didn’t rain from the sky and it took me 8 months of clearing molten core every week to finish my set.

BfA is already a graveyard, but I’m not going to maintain a Battlenet subscription for a 14 year old game when I’m not even playing the one I wanted to play.
Edit: and it’s just an earlier, less-refined version of the one I wanted to play.

Judgement removing your SoC? That was the intended point of the damn mechanic.
You use your seal up in exchange for burst dmg then have to reapply.
Did you ever even play a Pally pretbc?
Drinking after every 3rd mob?
Yea, it was called Mages being both a useful class, and a useful class to actually master because you could literally sell conjured water and make gold back then.
Can't set traps in combat? Working as intended. It should have never been changed.
To set a trap as a hunter is an immediate benefit for very lil cost now, actually none with how their RESOURCES are currently. A mess.
Anyway having to pull off a Feign death+ ice trap combo during a PvP fight against a rogue or a warr was part of the damn Hunter class back then, and youre acting like it's something ppl will !@#$% about.
It's actually just the damn opposite which is what the ignorant classic haters don't seem to realize.
It's what ppl actually desire when they think about playing classic again. All the original intrusive ^-*! you got put thru just to survive as your class, ultimately made for much better players all around.
Back then ppl had a main, singular. One single beloved class they mastered.
Now ppl just have alts all around.
o11/03/2018 11:17 AMPosted by Weathervaneha, spoken like someone who's never even played classic. a lot of people who want classic are either feeling nostalgic for something they enjoyed 14 years ago, dont remember it like it really was or have no bloody clue. i remember having to drink after every third mob, how about judgment removing your seals, can't set traps in combat, shammy overlords?
if those things arent in the game, then its not classic; its just a bastardized version of it.
granted there are some who want ACTUAL classic. there are also people who like grinding so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

11/03/2018 11:22 AMPosted by MonsterskillIt might turn both into graveyards.
Yeah. Segregated communities can do that. Also, people who are burned out by BFA and don't like what it has might go to Classic, realise they don't like what Classic has (a LOT of people won't actually enjoy Classic, not all, but a lot), then give up on WoW completely.

Eh I don’t know, I feel like gear mattered a lot in classic. Like if you had t2 you melted people. Gear is so easy to obtain now that it doesn’t matter, which is why the cache rng should not matter. The game allows everyone to gear up relatively equally now and then dumps the rest on individual ability and skill, which I enjoy a lot more than farming up fire resistance gear so I can defeat a boss. It’s not that fun not being able to beat a boss because you didn’t farm all the fire resistance. It’s a lot more fun knowing you defeated a boss because of your skill.

Older classes like enchantment shamans will be more viable as they can even tank, warriors won’t be a joke a of class anymore. Mages will actually get to use all 3 of their specs at once.
Change my mind/
People will fall in love do more than one specialzation .
did you play classic wow?
there was only 1 spec you could be.
hunters could be marksmen
priests were holy only.
pallies were holy only.
shamans were resto only.
monks did not exist.
dks and dhs did not exist.
druids could only be resto.
warriors were tanks only basically.
i dont know what rogues were, but def not subtlety.
mages were fire only.
that about covers this lesson in specs in classic wow.

Apparently you didn’t there’s many enchantment shaman out there , hunters used all of their abilities. Feral Druids were amazing in war song gulch .11/03/2018 11:34 AMPosted by DirtytricksChange my mind/

If they're both good games they'll both get played. If BfA fails, it will only because of bad design decisions and the attitude of management that what customers want to pay for should not be a consideration.

Have you checked the classic forums recently??
I think seeing the future for classic server you will change your mind regardless :)

Lol... nope.
There will be a small number (compared to BfA) of dedicated players that stay but most will just be tourist that will run like scalded dogs once they really get a taste of Vanilla.
Do you really think that the same people that complain about not being able to fly as soon as they hit lvl cap are going to relish walking until lvl 40 and never flying at all? No more free mounts so even when you hit 40 you still got to have enough Gold (which will be hard to obtain) to afford Training and a slow mount.
Do you really think that the people that have been able to just push a button and get into a Dungeon are going to enjoy standing around in some Capital City spamming Chat for an hour or so to get a group together... and then hope it stays together long enough for all of you to get to the Dungeon entrance?
"Scaling issues?" indeed you will be able to twink out and gank to your hearts content but most of today's players will not want to invest the amount of time into the game to get that gear... it is all about instant the gratification.
Ammo, Reagents, Poisons... all things that take up Bag space and will need to be Crafted, Purchased or Farmed. The modern WoW player will not an entire Bag just to have enough on hand to function.
Almost forgot.. Raiding. Only those that are in a Raiding Guild are going to see the inside of any Raid. Do you think that today's Players are going to be OK with being told "You are not good enough" to join our Guild?
Bottom line is that Classic will have it fans, fans that will Main it and stick around but it is just too much work for the modern player to enjoy enough to quit BfA.
I will be playing and I think I will enjoy it but I highly doubt I will give up BfA for Classic.

11/03/2018 11:07 AMPosted by Packlo11/03/2018 11:05 AMPosted by Geesusclassic is still a long ways away.
It’s coming in summer when the next raid will be yesterday news. People will flock to somthing new. When they play classic for a while they see all the problems bfa has .
Let me know how many guilds will be running AQ40 and Naxx 40. My bet is 2 because there won't be many and people will realize how much it takes to complete those and how much time needed that they will stop raiding.
Although I am betting DBM will work for Classic which wasn't around back then so maybe those will be easier to complete now. But again, people will need to grind resist gear for earlier raids to get to the gear level to do Naxx 40 which I don't see people doing.
