Different strokes, man. Some people like an RPG/social experience, and others like the interactive movie type. At this point, people like you just need to accept that people have different preferences.

Yes, I too consider doing fetch quests and hating other player’s guts for tagging your mobs to be a social RP experience.
If our DM was like that we’d overthrow him.
Maybe you should login and see for yourself. Nobody is hating anyone’s guts and everyone is having a good time. It’s good game design, you just happen to not like it. Move on buddy.

Good game design? Classic is devoid of it, there’s a reason they moved away from it.
They just made classic to contain those people, and profit off of them.

You know it’s obvious to people that you feel threatened by Classic’s popularity. Dunno why you keep exposing your insecurity over some video games.

Nah, I’ve been to vanilla. Done that. I just don’t want it poking it’s ugly head into retail 'sall.

I’m not sure why this was flagged. It’s a well written, and fair critique

There is a classic forum, and people are flat out sick of the classic threads.
Seriously, all it does is turn people away from classic.

What? It’s how the game is designed: your experience is slowed down based on the amount of people around you. That’s not fun for me. It’s not fun fighting for tags with the people I’m supposed to want to play with. I want to be left alone so I can get the things I need to done and not worry about low drop rates (hello again, Barrens…hello again…) along with small numbers of tags.

The same? You couldn’t be more wrong in that statement. Who are you trying to convince with that? Others or yourself?
If it was the same, people would in no way have been asking for Classic all these years and the servers would not be being jam packed every night with Blizzard opening new realms daily. Even at 8:45 am right now some realms have queues.
I think you need to take off the denial glasses.
If you play it like a single player game, of course it will be frustrating. Try grouping up.
Honestly when I played burning crusade and leveled a warrior and mage back then from 1-70 it really only took a good few days each and then a good couple weeks and off to the raids I was. Once you get used to the game the leveling is just a chore you have to go through but at the same time just becomes super simple.
Sure I could go onto classic and level a warrior to 60 in no time but I’d just be bored to tears.

That is a problem I’ve already seen, in Classic, at level 11 now. You are mistaking being held back, with “difficulty.” Everything is a lot more tedious, even the simple things.
I was in the NE area, with several quests making me do part of it in Dolanar and then run all the way back to Darn. to talk to another guy, then repeat. This isn’t more “engaging.” If you think it is, stop driving your car to work in real life. Try walking instead, which I’m sure will make you feel like your trip to work is way more engaging and fun!
I’m not even having trouble with other players, as far as quests. This is because Myzrael is Low - Medium. So without other people getting in the way, or slowing you down, you get much more of a feel for how it is the game design slowing you down.

All the retail salt makes me happy because it’s nothing more than “sour grapes” at this point.

Vanilla leveling is even more brain dead than BFA.
At least in BFA you can level via Dungeons, QUesting, Player vs Player, ect, to break up the monotony
In Classic, you just run around the map, spamming your main spells at mobs till they fall over and die, and you then have to stop what your doing for 10+ seconds to drink to refill your mana.

It’s almost like you’re an under-powered adventurer in a dangerous world or something and you should group with other under-powered and work together to overcome obstacles.

Give me looms and the now oldschool pre-scaling power leveling. That made me actually feel like I was getting something done. This is just a game, I don’t find anything that takes longer more engaging, I just find it more boring and more likely I’ll say, start an alt like I did 10 times in BC instead of see a character through in a reasonable time frame, but that’s just me.
Sorry man, you can’t get me to trade in my car for a horse and buggy.
what~!?
the game is more engaging when your not mashing buttons killing things with zero effort while you move to wherever the golden arrow points you whilst watching Netflix!?!?

I don’ understand people’s fascinations with being underpowered.
It’s a Fantasy MMO, with spell casters, and warriors pulling off extreme feats of strength that normal people can’t do.
The idea that people enjoy being weak is simply weird.
