My sadness is rising for TBC

Im sure this will settle out with time, but just seems a lot of people have left back to retail. Im on Mankrik and can hardly find any groups for questing etc. These group ones are becoming increasing more time consuming waiting for groups or just outright needing to be passed on

In Stormspire and cant find any help

lol roll a class that isnt a dime a dozen and you’ll get a group, also the biggest problem with classic tbc is a toss up between retail paypigs killing the soul of the game and botters and gold sellers/buyers, not dps being unable to find a group.

I’m guessing you’re Alliance then.

If not, press X for doubt.

How did retailers kill the soul of the game? And on small servers yes finding a group is an issue. Don’t be a tool buddy.

Subby is on Mankrik.

dont be on a small server then, thats literally the point of small servers is a small community, not anyones fault but your own.

And if i have to explain to someone why the sky is blue, i would rather do something else, if its not painfully obvious when you see all the boosties and deluxe mounts thats killing the game, retail tourists and redditors like you, i can’t help you.

Yeah, it’s hard to find any horde on Mankrik. We’re a dying faction on a small and lonely server forgotten by time.

Honest question here … are the people complaining that they can’t find groups not members of guilds? Are all these complaints from people trying to pug stuff?

I know that my realm seems to be very healthy and alive but I could see the pug scene being a bit harder. When I encounter groups out in the wild, they are very often members of the same guild.

One of my in game hobbies is reading the guild names of as many characters as I can. They are usually pretty funny.

My memory could be off but I seem to remember that the pug scene wasn’t all that good during original TBC either. Again, that could just be my flawed memory.

Yeah it’s been 14 years but I seem to remember that this was a common complaint even back then.

Guilds do not solve grouping I don’t know why people keep saying this. My guild is plenty big with people in my level bracket (been leveling TANK) and most of the time all I hear is crickets. Occasionally someone will help you if it has to do with attunement or something but a majority of the time everyone is looking out for their own gains. Some don’t want to dungeon all together on theirs alts and just chilling questing. I’ve pugged 99% of the way because guilds aren’t the solution.

this is wierd. i made a few on the horde populated mankirk. of Corse at that time it was 80% horde populated. -pagel was alliance, mankirk was horde- did they(or most) really just all quit or is this a troll thread?

Sorry to hear that. I guess that I am lucky that my guild isn’t like that at all.

Funny hearing that from someone with your name. But yes, most people want something mutually-beneficial.

i thought this was important.
i haven’t played retail in a longtime since legion. one of the reasons is retail got so easy to solo stuff and not need grouping while leveling. people did not need to communicate unless it was a elite they could not solo. i guess got worse over the next few expansions. so seems like people got use to not communicating. retail players bringing there retail attitude and game play to one of the best 15 year old multiplayer classic mmo of all time. asking for the same changes that got people to stop communicating it the first go around. befor they even were released. so tech speaking we just killing the communication part faster than the first.

Mankrik has like a billion players

And cant find anyone to help me with a few group quests
