Thinking about going to a pvp server, have no idea what tools are available for all classes/races though.

I used to take my orc rogue to Westfall and farm that murloc coast about once a week and stock up on the nets they dropped. You could throw them as a ranged snare.
Could almost see the surprise on an alliance face when I did that, but I reckon now everyone knows everything about everything.
Savory deviate delight.

Thanks for that great list!

The meta-knowledge is something that many players wanting a re-creation of the original experience and feeling aren’t taking into account… But perhaps a lot of people simply forgot about many things? I, for one, played in classic close to BC launch (then quit and back again close to wrath launch), and I must say I forgot about a lot of stuff from before the Cataclysm.
remember when really sticky glue was tradeable?

I played till WoD. So things have changed so many times I can’t keep track of what is what anymore. I am looking forward to re-discovering things all over again my self.
Thanks this was a great video!

Is it wrong that I still have 10 in the bank on multiple toons because “I might need it someday”?
A lot of people are going to be too lazy to farm consumables except for people who are bad and solo queue.
Serious rankers don’t have time to farm consumables, nor do they need them except if they decide not to queue dodge other premades. PvP doesn’t make any money either. At the very least they won’t be chugging pots every match, they might use them once in a while to break a turtle or when it makes a difference between capturing an objective. There’s no reason to spend time farming stuff that can’t be farmed while waiting for pops just to win a tough match when you could have just spent the same time farming easy pugs and getting more honor.
Raiders dabbling in PvP probably don’t want to farm consumables for PvP on top of raid consumables and are just hoping that a bit of coordination and raid gear carries them to victory over PuGs. They might want some extra edge and be tempted to, but they’re usually just trying to take a break and let off some steam and have fun, not so much try to win at all costs, that cost being having to farm to win.
Lazy casuals, obviously they aren’t going to farm. They’re not even going to farm decent gear for themselves, why would they farm consumables? They just want to queue up and mess around trying to get HKs and ignore BG objectives.
That basically leaves solo queuers that tell themselves that consumables make them pro and think they’re pro streamers and will probably reply with something implying people are bad for not using consumables. They will farm more than they PvP and throw bombs every cooldown as a crutch. Then because they use consumables, some other competitive people who don’t normally use them will use consumables in response to level the playing field and this will convince the solo consumable user that consumable use is actually quite widespread since in their microcosm of PvP experience where they always throw the first bomb, other people react by throwing bombs back.
Edit: On use items will still get used though, but some are too situational and awkward to use regularly. Since matches are often shorter than cooldowns, you can’t use them as crutches. Raiders and lazy casuals probably won’t bother farming too many.

I agree with you for BG’s and doubt I’ll be doing them much. I’m mostly thinking about wpvp for using consumables.
Oh right, in that case, it’s always fair and desirable to use consumables if you don’t want to give gankers an easy kill.
This is the only one I had the wits to use back then.
Elemental protection potions are good also. Greater frost protection, greater shadow protection and so on.
People always forget about Elixir of Poison Resistance.
It’s very strong.
