In the current dungeons in Retail you have to constantly be moving around to avoid fire nonstop which is not fun

The average classic player couldnt do wotlk ulduar normal modes though. I can provide proof in the form of wcl logs for phase 2 of wotlk classic if you need proof.

It depends on the movement, really. If it’s rhythmic and predictable, I enjoy it. If it’s chaotic and reactionary, I tend not to, but there are exceptions.
Not sure what’s fun about Classic dungeon design, though. The cramped cameras alone are enough to make me roll my eyes.

Classic is baby’s first MMO.
1-2 button rotations, overly simplified boss mechanics, incredibly grindy gameplay and for people who don’t like change.
I feel the same people that play Diablo 2 still are the same type of people who play WOW classic.

That is not too different from a fury warrior in TWW.
I have way more spells and a much more complex rotation in Classic than I do in TWW.

Yeah I really like Dragonflight and TWW, but the one thing I won’t argue about is how annoying the constant Dance Dance Revolution encounter design has gotten.
Enough is enough already. It makes playing caster so annoying.

Lol. Fury has like 4-5 buttons and it’s full of spam. Mage has 1-2. I’m talking rotation, not your cooldowns.
and… no you do not.

I miss actual slow dungeon-crawls with a group of five, not this M+ E-Sport speed mentality. It’s no longer ‘chill’ outside of auto-queue LFG.
It’s actually killed PvE in WoW for me.
LFR, when it appeared back in Cata, killed my desire to raid, so I don’t really do much PvE anymore lol.
I just do it once on LFR, to see the raid, bam done, no reason to do it on higher difficulties because I don’t chase numbers.
When raids were only able to be done on normal, I’d actually bother to do what was needed to see them, to see the entire thing. Now you just press a button, and don’t have to bother with mechanics really.
PvP is the only thing I’ve really got left that’s still fun, to me.
I’ve often felt I’d mesh better with Classic’s approach to PvE, but the quality of life and the art from Retail is what keeps me here instead.
I really wish there was a middle ground. Season of Discovery is frankly worse than both lol.

Yeah miss me with that lol something taking longer doesnt mean its more challenging just means its designed poorly or old.

So everything should be ultra-hard and fast because that’s enjoyable, right?
I want to play WoW, not Valorant.
And WoW became popular in the first place because it took stuff from older mmos like Everquest, and guess what? Made them easier.
WoW is an easy game, always has been. It’s an MMO ffs. Designed for the masses.

It should be engaging
Pulling a pack of 3 mobs while i poly one on my mage and the tank clicks his abilities isnt that. But i just described how the average classic player does a dungeon.

Well, maybe try classic if you’re looking for easier content.
This makes less than no sense.
I will always loath comments like this when it’s from someone who’s achieved next to nothing in the game. It’s just so weird… like how would you know?

Yes but why is it the players who have been playing since 2004 refuse to adapt and moan and groan yet still remain subbed and playing? True boomer mentality

Imo, Classic with having to CC mobs or face the punishment of death and long walk from the graveyard, is a hell of a lot more engaging than Retail’s current method of just running up to a group and AoE’ing everything down.
The overworld of Classic was the game, in Retail it’s nothing more than a glorified lobby.
It’s funny because I’m a millennial.
looks at achievement pts okay lol, whatever you say bud
Keep loathing

I do love WoW’s gameplay in retail.
There are other games in which I have liked simpler gameplay too!

Doesn’t change the fact that you wouldn’t know if the game is difficult or not.
Enjoy your L.
