I don’t care if I ever clear naxxramas its not why I started this game. Joined to experience a fresh classic experience. Easy as naxx is, it does take a long time to get the fights down through multiple nights of progression. But if our guild never does it I don’t care at all. Retail is more fun now .
Classic is almost an entirely different game now than it was last year around this time. Everyone raid logs and nobody levels outside of dungeon boosting.
Long story short: I’ve really stopped caring much about classic and I really only raid log as well. But I damn sure don’t spend 1200 gold a week on consumes. If THAT was the requirement I would quit now.
if you dont buy price will drop
plus when you are expected to wipe numerous times why bother to pop any consume at all until your guild learns the fight?

Humans have been trained to by hyper-competitive in all things. So, they look for any and all edges over ‘the other person’. Just so they can get a ‘99’ on WCL, and say “look, I’m ranked 37th in the world for my class!”.
If only there was some way we could have known what instance was coming out 12 months before it did. Remember when you were selling elemental water for 20 silver each, 6 months go? Well now I have 200 Frost Protection potions to sell you for 10g each.
You had 12 months or more to prepare for this. Pay the cost or don’t.

So basically, most of the player base is not meant to run Naxx, much less clear it.
QED
Doesn’t cost 1.2k a week if you planned ahead.
I calculated out the pots I would need for 30x clears of Nax … and 60x clears of AQ +10% to account for learning attempts … and had all of it sitting on bank alts by the end of p2 for 1/10th the price of what it is currently listed for on the AH.
I also stocked up on all the mats I would need for full FR set and full T3 … it was all sitting in my bank before the release of AQ.
On top of this, I was able to plan for the Market crazyness that would occur on the release of AQ and the release of Nax and have extra of everything to sell at stupid prices in the event that others didnt plan ahead.
I am sitting on piles of gold to take care of anything I didnt think of … all while not really needing it, because I did in fact plan ahead … just like anyone who did any research at all could have done as well.
Sorry to say … if you are forking over 1.2k gold per week to participate in nax … you kinda dont belong there.

Just out of curiosity, did you spend time playing on private servers prior to Classic?
or you know…we could just wipe everyones memory, delete all data on the game and the game would be different. 
It is expensive, however I don’t think it requires what you’re saying.
After the first week it’s pretty clear to me that the majority of bosses can be cleared with relative ease without any sort of consumes/wbuffs.
Spider wing, noth/heigan, and raz/gothik.
Assuming you wbuff and consume then go construct -> spider -> noth/heigan -> raz/gothik.
This will leave you with 4 bosses that would ‘require’ consumes.
Also, I highly recommend not using bis consumes for progression, you will go broke.
Practice the fights with minimal consumes and when you look like you can down it next attempt, consume+buff and pew pew.
I think this is the method my guilds will have to employ, at least for the first few weeks.
People like to feel powerful. People also don’t want to put in the time. There are also people who want to feel better at a game they were probably terrible at 15 years ago.

No people think they’re entrepreneurs by manipulating the prices and deep throating every node to simply sell things. Don’t we enjoy the game or do we just wanna ruin it for others. Jesus Christ. These bots r ruining everything don’t be surprised when people who dont have 15 hours a day to ply quit. I’m fortunate to play as much as I do but this is too toxic to wanna even be apart of. Might as well chill till this dies down.

I quit mainly because once i 60 and i got to experience the low level dungeons for once. But once I saw my casual guild (granted mostly from retail) start scheduling buffs via discord, that really set the nail.
But when TBC comes out and the people who really love Classic are around, i may come back.

It’s pserver tycoons playing with a stacked deck to gouge entire servers. Nobody who played private would fathom spending 5k-7k on something like edgemasters, but Classic has a lot of players that don’t understand what the real value is of a lot of items. Additionally, there’s much more gold to RMT in Classic, and Blizzard has done nothing significant to combat the RMT in Classic. This created an environment where it’s easy to price gouge players because they’ll buy gold to cover the gouge. Blizzard is ultimately to blame for the current market fiasco.

The team lead from vanilla wow confirms the pop cap of 3k more or less with them being able to adjust, but hard capped around 4k due to hardware limitations.
No what? You don’t believe that I had all of my consumes ready by p2? Or you don’t believe that planning a head is a valuable tactic?
Actually, no. The players are. Over crowded servers and queues weren’t a Blizzard problem. It was a player problem. Most of these issues are player created and Blizzard is just an easy cop out. Didn’t have the prior experience the private server players had? Too bad. Catch up. Not ever yone gets to start “even”.
The information was already out there. If you wanted to make money, it didn’t figure out that when X drops, these will be valuable. Heck, knowledge was even stated multiple times in these forums.
Frankly, players are plain lazy and want things spelled out for them.
