Forget boosts, can we get RAF?

So people who have no idea of the authentic TBC experience are trying to talk as if they know the original TBC experience, and are trying to aggressively tell veterans what it was like.

I mean, do you follow this stuff at all? Or are you just not aware of the way changes are being made to the game to preserve the original experience? Like the world buff meta. Was that a thing in Vanilla, or is it a product of the times we live in?

I really don’t understand what you’re saying here – Do you think someone needs to be a ‘veteran’ to know that things actually have to be tuned to preserve a similar experience?

Also RAF is a counter to their arguements and claims about how things work or are in-authentic.

I mean, it’s pretty simple. You couldn’t buy a level 58 character back then. And even in comparison with RaF, that system was launched just a few months before Wrath released, and a handful of months after BC was essentially over.

Like I said, it’s a nice “gotcha” but it really isn’t an argument at all.

See my point at the 400% was to point out that you were changing the argument by saying less originally and I was saying well it goes both ways. I’m not trying to be combative here but that isn’t some kind of compromise. If they did RAF it should be the full 90 days up to 70 with 300%, anything different and we can go both ways. I can argue for longer or more xp and you could do the opposite. The point is really the best “win win” or “lose lose” is to leave it in changed.

I mean, there’s a pretty decent handful of things that absolutely have to be changed to maintain the whole point of Classic, which is getting a similar experience to back in the day. If players back then were as good at exploiting things as they are now, they would’ve been patched back in the day. Even stepping back from the speculation though (because you could always say we can’t know what they would’ve done), ‘no changes’ has turned out to be a really terrible idea, and it’s one that Blizzard has learned from if you look at their philosophy on changes for BC.

Either way, the world buff meta didn’t exist back in the day, and releasing the game without that part being tuned for modern times has resulted in a vastly different experience. An understanding that we must have in this discussion is that the arguments against the 58 boost are NOT inherently a demand for no changes. Only people who don’t know what they’re talking about would ask for no changes.
