It’s part of the reason why you don’t see anybody talking in /say anymore. Bunch of anti-social mindless drones slaving away to the constant grind. Everything was just completely different when we were kids. Kids just know how to have fun a lot more. The older you get, the crankier you get. The gaming generation playing Classic are too old to understand what true fun is anymore.

I spent a couple hours going under Orgrimmar a few nights ago. I got no gear. I gained no advantages, yet it was some of the most fun I’ve had in Classic, and I recruited people to do it.
People want to get something like it’s real life. I already have a job I work for and get rewarded, getting a pixel reward is really not quite so thrilling compared to that.
I am trying to maintain the youthful excitement about stuff when I’m trying to have fun. Efficiency and optimization is pretty boring.
I do miss the young playerbase in this game, they were open more to the fun. I even enjoyed Fortnite when it was on top of the world, and I dislike first person shooters, but it just had a fun loving community. I think casuals make a game fun. I know I’ll get DDOSed for saying such a thing

You’re right, it does. So why are you trying to act like only your side of the story matters?
We did not get 1.5 av for the same “reasons”, I’m just kind of numb to it by now.
I’m all about doing things just for the fun of it. I used to kite world bosses and unique mobs to major cities just because it was really fun. Then Blizzard leashed everything and I wasn’t able to break up the monotony. I would also go outside the map any way I could and discover cool Easter eggs. I used to make raids to kill world bosses that didn’t give any reward. I actually had to lie and tell people there was a small chance something would drop from them, haha! Nowadays, people can just look it up and expose my lies, so it’s difficult to get something like that going. People forget that having true fun playing a game is all about the journey. Not the destination.

I’m not. I waited 14 years for this week long event again and you people who cry about respecting other people’s version of fun couldn’t last another 72 hours respecting our version of fun, which is forever gone now. You act as if the norm and your version of fun is the “standard” and any deviation from that is depriving you of your fun, while not realizing QQing to the point it gets removed early again is treating our fun with the exact same disrespect you complained about. It was a week, and you knew it was coming. You could have planned for it, but didn’t. One week of WoW doesn’t go your way and you have to whine and get it changed back to whatever YOU like then have the audacity to tell people they should respect others’ version of fun? You’re totally unreasonable and closed off from compromise, and this event proves it. You want all what you want, all the time. I waited 14 years to have this event again, and just like 14 years ago, the people claiming to “respect fun” couldn’t respect the fun that a hell of a lot of people are having for just 72 more hours.

Sounds more than reasonable to me. I wish there was a server for people like us. And game developers would set up fun events just like this one every now and then.

This you, bro?
You waited 14 years for something you can do at any time by just going to the enemy faction’s capital city or any of their quest hubs, just for the ability to do it to your own faction? I’m not sure it’s the anti-plague people you should be talking about having an “addiction”…
Also, for the record, I literally boosted a priest specifically to go around cleansing the plague and stop its spread, aka, participating in the event. I’m just here to call you out on your hypocrisy. You can stop wagging your hate stick now
Your RNG buzzword machine is broken I think
If you think any modern xpac prepatch event is anything beyond that … your standards are hilariously low
Hardly anyone like the zombie thing the first time, hardly anyone likes is this time.
If you wanted change you should be playing retail where stuff changes each patch.
Does anyone know where the explanation for why it started early is?
Cause it seems like it was released early to try to help with the queues knowing some people don’t like it.
I was really looking forward to it and now have entirely missed it as it happened earlier than planned.

I haven’t seen an argument in favor of the event that wasn’t completely written in bad faith. Anyone who claims to have “waited 14 years” is either lying or terminally unwell-- 14 years encompasses multiple presidencies, could take someone from being a newborn all the way into their 1st year of high school, etc- if you waited 14 years for a developer-sanctioned griefing mechanism to be enabled, there is some serious and overdue reflection required.
The event is not immersive or interesting to me and many others, it has been obnoxious and frustrating. I know Wrath of the Lich King is coming out soon. My primary concern, along with the hundreds of other people competing with me for quest mobs in Outland right now, is making good use of the time afforded for a +50% EXP gain buff. Going to Stormwind and getting griefed out of minutes of your time stuck in cycles of infection and death when you just want to train your abilities so you can go back to playing the game is garbage.
Instead of taking the event out because it doesn’t share a tutorial on how to dodge zombies. They are really easy to dodge. It is understood that as part of the story there will come a point where it will be impossible to avoid them until the expansion is released.
I’m currently playing as a lvl 10 character, I know that when I see herds of zombies, I have to avoid those points. And if I see another infected character stay away from them and always stay close to the healers.
Not everything needs to have loot to be worthwhile.

Tell the AH ppl how to dodge plz. and the quest givers.
Me too man. That would be awesome. I like to raid and PvP and whatnot, but there’s so much more to it than just making your numbers better each week.
