right, blizzard some liars lol
Sadly they never made half the specs and runes OP to begin with and never bothered to buff them besides a few outliers like Starsurge, which became fun after it was buffed.
Retail has amazing class design in the case of some specs at least and is a lot of fun from that perspective. The PvP in vanilla is by far the absolute worst compared to any other version of WoW. Consumable fest + rock paper scissors class design with very few interesting or fun mechanics.
Battleground Blitz just added in Dragonflight was also a pretty cool idea. That would be a lot more fun than SoD premade-fest oldschool WSG.
Thatâs why 300k+ are playing SoD and only 20k play era. They came for the runes. They came for the different and new class mechanics.

Iâm not sure what claim youâre trying to make other than attempting to imply that some guild, somewhere did this and you think that this was some standard that was applied across all of naxx, and as such, that is the only reason the class was brought into the raid?
Talking about a raid that not many guilds worldwide had on farm or semi-farm status before it was wiped from the game. And precisely which of the first guilds? I can tell you it wasnât DnT. It wasnât Risen. It wasnât Dread. It wasnât Drama.
So how do you reconcile that when during that period of time, all notable guilds had players present in undesirable specs, who produced less dps and offered no necessary utility than a hunter. lol
Youâre trying to allude that there was this weird established meta when there wasnât, at least not among any guild of consequence that was actually routinely clearing. There didnât need to be.
Your reply would have made a little bit more sense if we were talking about classic, and for no other reason than players being more try-hard than ever but even then, it wouldnât be accurate in the sense that running more than two hunters presented itself as any measurable detriment - as if wipes were inevitable because dps checks couldnât be overcome, as if the reason was because ooopsie, brought one too many hunters. The content was trivialized and put on display, even before classic released. You can thank pserver brethren for those discoveries.
My comment was more for classic not vanilla.
