I am 100% behind classic and I am really looking forward to it. However, there are things that we have forgotten about that will be hard to swallow when confronted with them so start mentally preparing yourself now. Here are some things off the top of my head, feel free to add more.
- 3 second mount cast time- double the cast time, double the fun!
- no diminishing returns on spell pushback - get ready for 2 rogues to prevent you from using any spells at all without ever using kick!
- Soul shard farming - if you want to play a lock, get ready to spend a lot of time farming soul shards!
- Mounts are terrified of water - step in a puddle… DISMOUNTED!
- fickle pvp trinkets - You think pvp trinkets will get you out of that CC? Roll the dice, maybe it will… pvp trinkets are class specific and only work on some CC’s depending on that class.
There is a million more of these, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head. Prepare yourselves!

Damn, my class won’t be able to do everything. Maybe I should play Retail…

The rogue thing still happens to me in Retail. I’m not gonna be THAT surprised at how OP rogues are.
As for soul shard farming… bring it on, I actually miss that!

All of these things are second nature to me, I don’t even think about them.
I’m not sure what the fuss is all about.

Just someone trying to tell us we think we do, but we don’t.
When we actually do.

There are less races which means you are statistically that much more likely to see gnomes.

Where’d you pull THAT little yarn from?
You left out the two most terrifying things.
Players have to actually travel places, like out in the world and everything and sometimes they have to talk to … other players. The shock and horror

Oh noes! How will I ever find the Defias Messenger or kill Hogger if I have to socialize with other people?!
…Oh wait. That’s how it was done prior to Cata.

Omg that reminds me… if you play horde… get ready for barrens chat and in particular “where is Mankriks wife???”.

Maaaaan…and Chuck jokes and/or Murloc movie titles.
OR BOTH - Crouching Norris Hidden Murloc, for example.

Wow. Murloc movie titles.
That kind of stuff used to just go on and on. I don’t remember seeing it much in the past couple years, is that just that I’ve not played much in the last couple years, or has it gone away?
I dunno, Malaw. haven’t been subbed for some time myself.
But it was a thing once. Oh…it was a thing.

(edit)
Are hashtags still a thing?

Complaining about absolute non-issues seems to be the staple of modern WoW’s player.

How few graveyards there are. Some places you die are a crazy long run back (southern end of Darkshore comes to mind).
How few flight masters there are, and how convoluted the flight path is if you’re missing a key location.

let me tell you kids some thing, back in my day! we had to walk through black rock depths, 20 at a time due to the instance cap, in order tot get to the molten core.
every time we wiped with no soul stone or revive we had to walk through black rock. some times we took to long and the trash mobs respawned.

Ah, MC progression nights. Those were the best. I remember on raid nights seeing others at the GY who weren’t in my raid.
Oo! Oo!
Raid instance chat! Does anyone remember talking to other raids inside the instance? I do.

What? Resources use to matter in Vanilla WoW. I am sooo shocked that I might just have to go back to Retail.
…wait I used to main a Hunter in Vanilla, and I was legit sad when we lost our ammo, and our pet happiness, and our mana.
Bring on classic, I want my reagents back.

Convoluted is right. Don’t forget ,if you’re alliance, that if you have the Ratchet flight path and run to Ashenvale you will not, I repeat WILL NOT be able to fly back to Ratchet if you do not have the connecting flight path which for some reason is Menthil Harbor.
