if it changes nothing in raids, then it shoudlnt matter that you’re able to do it in raids.
I don’t want it for raiding. For me Dual Spec has literally nothing to do with raiding. I would possibly never use it for raiding.
perfect, then you shouldnt have a problem with you only being able to change it in cities

You gotta realize hes the kind of player that uses 28 warriors in his raid and hes proud of his 20,000th Naxx speed run because he cant move on from the game and do actual hard content in later versions of wow.
Dudes gonna be 60 years old still speed clearing naxx, target dummy raid bosses are all his guild can do.
I do have a problem with that. When I’m in sunken temple and our tank leaves, and I have to run back to town, fly back to grom gol, zep back to org, talk to my trainer, repick all my talents, redo all my bars, run back to the zep, zep back to grom gol, fly back to SoS, then run back to ST. All the while 4 other players are sitting there on their thumbs for 30 minutes doing nothing because Sponges is deathly afraid that some sweaty guild will figure out a way to shave one second off their speed kill if they can Dual Spec.
i hope you realize that dual spec switching will do probably nothing for speedrunning, its the fact that you think the game would be better if you took out friction that makes finding people for the dungeon, travelling there, completeing it together, getting loot, etc fun. its just really obvious to me that you don’t like the play pattern of classic ig
Correct. That’s why I’m playing Anniversary and not Era. I do not value my time being wasted for the purpose of wasting my time. That is not compelling game play to me.
anniversary is vanilla. the devs said themselves they want this to be faithful to vanilla

I don’t think you remember Vanilla. There are several changes in Anniversary that were not in Vanilla, like Dual Spec that we’ve been talking about. It’s definitely different.
yep, which is why im here explaining why these changes will make the game worse, not better. “wasting time” when things go wrong is part of the game and is why the game feels so good when it goes right. it makes you want to find ppl who will stay, find people who are competent, travel to the dungeon and pvp or kill mobs or do quests on the way, etc etc etc etc.
its the reason I and many others enjoy vanilla, its the friction that makes vanilla what it is, and removing it will just make it retail minus.
Sure, but that’s why I responded to explain why you are wrong. There are a lot of aspects of Vanilla WoW that I enjoy. One of the few I never did was having my time or gold wasted.
If the Devs can keep the experience almost exactly the same, ie. stay faithful to the original, while the only change being wasting less of my time, that’s a huge win-win to me and it’s why I’m playing Anniversary and why I stopped playing Era as soon as BC servers came out.
then you are perfectly fine to play other versions of the game if you do not enjoy the vanilla play pattern, but please, there are people who do like this game and want to play it. idk why you insist on changing a game that you admit yourself you don’t play as much as the rest of us

I’m not. There are aspects of the other versions of the game that I don’t like. So I play the version of the game that has the most things that are most enjoyable to me on whatever particular day I log in.
do you really think that people play vanilla because the content is good? do you think people enjoy one button specs and tank and spank bosses more than interesting and flavorful retail bosses?
no, thats not the case. honestly i think the majority of the playerbase has no clue what makes this game good and thats the reason we get slop like som and sod

There’s all kinds of reasons people play Vanilla.
insightful comment
To add, for me, I enjoy the dungeon and raid play style. It’s much slower paced than Retail. I enjoy the combat style. I’ve almost never play a one button class, that can get boring.
I enjoy the loot style…kinda. I prefer TBC or Wrath where raids are a little more generous with the drops, but in general, I enjoy how you obtain your gear upgrades in Vanilla.
So that’s why I played it. It was never a “hey, with this version, I can spend most of my game time not playing the game!” So yeah, that’s why I haven’t played Era since 2021.
im struggling to see how losing the ability to change specs mid raid changes anything about what you enjoy about the game, but ok.

You are struggling to read anything I’m saying, so that makes sense. I couldn’t care less about changing specs mid raid.
perfect, then you have no issue with the original post. have a good night, apparently you forgot how to read the post that you are replying to
