not only has wow grown - but we have too.
90% of the difficultly (mathematically impossible bosses aside) in vanilla was that we were collectively bad and had no idea what we were doing.
we’ve got 15 years of experience now.
if they were to get rid of mythic raiding and go back to normal and heroic, a chunk of us would clear the raid in a couple weeks then… what, 1 night farm for 8 months?
no thanks. I prefer to have content that takes longer to progress on.
Hah maybe. Either way that was their explanation at the time at least.
Not if they do it in 445 gear, Classic doesn’t have tiers or corruption.
Classic currently has 3 tiers, and while it doesn’t have Corruption, it has world buffs that Retail lacks.
They were reusing trigger mechanics just by Ulduar. Can you imagine now? 150+ bosses later?
Also that would prevent people from doing both difficulties since it’s tied to the same ID (some would find this good, others bad).
You’re comparing world buffs to +84% Mastery. Not even close.
To be honest, whilst I love a lot of what classic has to offer, content difficulty isn’t up there at the top. You quite simply cannot equate difficulty in classic to difficulty in mythic raiding or high level M+.
Removing those options would simply be a loss to the current game.
At best an argument could be made to slide each difficulty down whilst maintaining difficulty so heroic would be like current mythic, normal like current heroic etc. That is how it used to be. But removing difficulty tiers entirely from the top end? Yeah nah, sorry friend.
LOL. Only difficult thing about classic was we had potato pc and dial-up internet
Well yeah, that’s my point.
Classic wasn’t hard. People were just godawful at the game back then, and in the case of C’thun, Blizzard programmers were as bad as the players.
Vanilla was hard though…for the quality of players we were at the time.
You are still grading classic with a 15 year veteran lens.
/2 LF heals Ony know the whelps.
Yeah, no thanks I would rather not wait forever.
Yes. I’m tired of repeating myself. People sucked at the game back then and Blizzard sucked at designing it.
That’s why a boss that was little more than a DPS check with a “don’t stand in the raid with an AoE on you” gained infamy as a guild-breaker.
LFR isn’t hard just because people don’t understand how N’zoth works.
OP is the one arguing that Classic is challenging. By today’s standards, it’s an absolute joke and if you can get your entire raid in the portal before everyone else can, you stand a real shot at claiming world first when a “new” raid drops.
Classic being challenging lol. Classic is about as challenging as sending an e-mail to the correct recipeint.
Classic was hard because add ons were less advanced, voice was less prevalent and lower quality, Youtube didn’t exist, and most importantly, raids required the recruitment and coordination of 40 people instead of just 20, all from one server without the possibility of cross realm recruitment.
I’m no better a player than I was then, and I’m closer to cutting edge content now than I was then. At most the best guilds are better now because of the broader recruitment net.
The Geddon bomb wiped the raid if 1 out of 40 players failed the mechanic. Now, you can have 1 out of 20 players fail, say, Skitra Psyche, and good healers can still save it.
We are saying the same thing.
All I am saying is I don’t label vanilla players as “sucking”. They were good at the time. They only suck when compared against today’s standards.
I disagree, I raided with so many keyboard turners it was insane.
I have been in numerous LFR that was encouraging wiping for the buff so we could down the final boss.
that’s the issue with alot of you people… and specifically you. you feel the need to stoop to insults to make yourself feel superior instead of just having civil discussions about a game we all love.
