Why are you worried about school?
Really? Is there a link to this source? Genuine question.
That might be the truest and most accurate thing ever posted on a wow forum.
They really messed up phase 2 bad.
This happened back in 2004/2005, before honor patch hit. I think your wall of text is pretty toxic tbh. Before someone cries that I’m horde, my first pvp character in 2004 was an alliance priest. All the problems people whine about today happened then.
No they didn’t, the servers could not handle the pops. they do now. Great job being dishonest though.
What a horrendous person for expressing their frustrations. You are a truly elite level individual.

I was gang banged multiple times on my alliance characters by roaming ganksquads of horde, some of them 15 and 20 man groups. These same things will happen no matter the server pop size or imbalance ratios. Alliance are just huge babies, just like back at launch.
I think you may have a hard time with math, let me help you.
A server is like a 16 oz glass, these realms were designed to hold 16 0z. This impacts quest mobs, resources and “living space”. You can’t force a 2 liter into a 16 oz glass and expect it to work like a 2 liter glass, no, you’re going to have a giant mess. Weird how that works. /logic

It’s also incredibly dishonest to be all like “the alliance are huge babies”. This even further devalues your input.
Myself for instance, I have pretty much always played horde and the fact is this is completely fubr. At this point, I honestly want to see these imbalances punished by locking down those servers when the AQ effort starts.
A great number of us will rejoice and drink your tears by the glass full.
On the other end of the spectrum, I’m a little salty at the 10 man raid that passed me while I was sapped in the road last night.
Can’t you guys wait a few seconds and let me ride into BRM with you? No? GUESS I’LL JUST DIE TO THESE 2-3 ROGUES, THEN.
You need to remember that TONS of people didn’t play vanilla. It’s a whole new experience for them and for years they heard these old tired stories of “World PVP was awesome, I miss it” back in vanilla. So you have a whole culture of players seeking to replicate what they’d heard during their entire time playing. I’m guilty of being one to say “world PVP died when flying came along” and I know EVERY vanilla player has said and agreed on that.
So while you may experience some really frustrating moments, know that it simply won’t last. You will see burn out of many players and standing around PVP queue givers will be common. Sure, you’ll get the bored ones doing the battle over Tarren Mill while waiting for AV to pop, you might also see those same groups migrate to Silithus when it starts allowing summons. But you won’t see wandering hordes or even Molten Span camping like you do now. This is a simulation of vanilla, it’s not the same but it certainly does have the same predictable outcomes. Diminishing returns demand that PVPers fight higher ranked PVPers and the only place to find them is battlegrounds. You might encounter that rogue who was bullied by his father and wants to “spoil someone’s day” or that attention starved fool trying to gank duellers out front of the cities, but you will see it die down as the momentum drops due to players not grouping because their BG will pop. Don’t forget- you can’t join battlegrounds as a group and get fast queues. Groups must fight other groups and if you want a quick queue, you are having to do it solo or suffer a very long queue.
This isn’t just the wow community. This is how all competitive online communities are. It takes a certain personality trait to enjoy it or to see nothing wrong with how certain people are acting. When there is no face to put on the person you are interacting with, it brings out the worst in them, especially when they can overpower you.
This community was there when the population was smaller ontop of having small “communities” in the world. Thats what people remember.
Vanilla WoW is small/medium sized suburb back in the 50s and wow classic is New York City in 2019. Just potatoes at every corner.
Are you suggesting more are playing now than vanilla? Because I think you might find yourself being wrong with that assumption. I remember the cities clearly and they might be packed, but not nearly as packed as the BWL/AQ40 days, that’s for sure.
I honestly think it’s just the culture of gamer trying to pretend they played during that time, and it’s more common for me to see people lie about it and than try to pretend they knew or did it all back in the day when they were clearly a cata kid or BC Scrub. I can’t tell you how many I’ve spoken to say they full cleared Naxx in vanilla, but as you can imagine 99% of them are just plain lying.
Point being, let them have their fantasy and pretend this is how it was ‘back in the day’ and let them finally live out that delusion of being HWL or the uber 2% Naxx clearing raider. It’s good for Blizzard and it’s good for the game as a whole.
Blizz already said that a medium/low pop server today is the equivalent of a high/full server back in the day. The population of wow classic is WAY bigger than it was back in the day. All the people talk about now is population imbalance and how there are more people playing now than back in the day.
Count how many retail servers there are. Each one had to reach nearly full population in order for a new one to be made. Do the math on that. Game peaked at around 4 million in vanilla, probably more. I don’t think there’s nearly that many playing right now, sorry.
#nochanges including the now older playerbase?
The doomer in me so very agrees this happened. The 35+ playerbase back then, with exceptions of course, is a more amplified version in 2019 in many respects 
“this isnt as good as eq” “this isnt as good as runescape” “uo better” lol…now “vanilla better” “blaspheme 2h tankers” “nochanges ever” “timeline for dm/p2 too fast”
Love ya, dont miss ya so much sometimes
Im sure us Gen Xers have our own familiar vibe for better or worse.
