Reduced cost of respect in classic WoW

[Laydeesoth-medivh]

I was thinking along the same lines when I read this lol.

I don’t usually grammar/spell police but this made me chuckle

It’s about the connotation, change implies something huge while modification suggests a minor tweak.

So what you’re saying is that when people have been asking for no changes, what they really mean is that they didn’t want any really big changes – completely contrary to every #nochanges statement made after someone asks for a small “modification.”

I know you’re trolling, but let’s see how you wiggle your way out of that one.

He doesn’t know anything about Vanilla, it’s clear just by reading his posts.

• Don’t complain when you can’t find a tank, because the DPS warrior can’t afford or doesn’t want to respec
• Don’t complain when you can’t find a healer because they prefer playing a Shadow Priest and aren’t going to respec just for you

In classic any warrior can tank, and any priest can heal enough to succeed regardless of spec. The abilities required to do so are baked into the class, unlike modern WoW. I personally tanked successfully in every raid up to and including Naxx in Classic as an Arms warrior.

I guarantee you that if you spend time to make friends, you’ll be able to find healers and tanks just fine. This social interaction has been lost in modern WoW. Classic is a chance to bring it back.

I disagree with this.

If you want my respect, you need to pay up. Big time.

[Kindwolf-emerald-dream]

Make it free!

Man you love your BFA, don’t you?

Keeping things the same is fine, just remember this:

• Don’t complain when you can’t find a tank, because the DPS warrior can’t afford or doesn’t want to respec
• Don’t complain when you can’t find a healer because they prefer playing a Shadow Priest and aren’t going to respec just for you
• Don’t complain when you are grouped with people playing sub-optimal builds because they want to enjoy the game and explore their talent choices
• Don’t complain when your favorite farming spots are packed because people are forced to spend hours farming to pay for respecs
• Don’t complain when your raid takes a long time to fill because people don’t want to spend the gold on a respec when they aren’t even sure if they will have enough people or if it will be successful
• Don’t complain when you raid takes a long time to fill because people are out farming materials for gold because they can’t just immediately respec because you invite them to a dungeon
• Don’t complain that the goods sold on the AH are much lower than they should be because supply is high from so many farmers, and now all your skins and whatever don’t payout very well
• Don’t complain that this Resto Druid who can’t heal you what you would hope has crappy gear because he sends all his resources to his Feral Druid character because it’s better than respecializing all the time

It’s fine if you want to keep it the way it is. Just don’t complain when so and so chooses to play the game instead of spending hours farming for the gold needed to meet your qualifications.

I personally don’t care what the group makeup is for most dungeons, and I have had a lot of fun in weird groups. A lot of people don’t have the same thoughts, and will do a lot of complaining.

That’s fine.

But that shadow priest, ret paladin, feral druid, etc. also can’t complain when they has trouble finding groups because they refuse to heal.

[Kindwolf-emerald-dream]

I do! I don’t have a lot of free time, you know like the vast majority of the player base i.e. casuals.

So convenience is king.

[Eaglesgift-ravenholdt (Eaglesgift)]

Playing Classic requires a lot of free time. Just the way it is. But you can spread this time played over years if you wish. This is not a race, it is a game.

Convenience is the king of garbage games.

[Kindwolf-emerald-dream]

So it’s conveniently stagnant? Got it.

[Eaglesgift-ravenholdt (Eaglesgift)]

Describe it any way you want. Don’t like it? Don’t play it.

The rest of us plan to have a great time in Classic.

You can’t buy respect.
Respect has to be earned.

I wish they would reduce it I remember as a druid it was ruff leveling and doing dungeons. I respecced so many times to make it easier finding groups for dungeons but then if you wanna solo quest at all you have to respec. Maybe give a privilege to healing classes.

It’s not that bad leveling as prot or resto. I’ve done it with a prot warrior. I’m allegedly doing it now with a resto shaman on a pserver. As long as you wear gear with dps stats and not tanking gear or pure healing gear, it’s not that bad. You maybe do 2/3 the dps of a full dps spec, but gain survivability.

The pros of it are smoother 5-man runs, and you gain a reputation as a bada$$ tank or a bada$$ healer, and it becomes easy to find groups, for 5-mans or even just a partner to quest with. And meanwhile, as you level, you learn to play your class as the actual spec that you will use in endgame.

It’s really not the masochistic suicide that many make it out to be.

[Kindwolf-emerald-dream]

Good for you. I’ll have fun playing both retail and classic.

Probably only have a few toons on classic, not enough content to keep me that interested.

[Eaglesgift-ravenholdt (Eaglesgift)]

Suit yourself.

you and I are on the same page about this Kerg. I leveled a Prot warrior and holy paladin in Vanilla into TBC (because TBC came out while I was leveling these). And it’s exactly like that. It does get a little painful at times, but it’s really not a big deal. The survivability alone makes it easier to keep pulling and not have to stop so much too.

[Starz-boulderfist]

Good you should continue playing it and leave classic alone since you claim to not have time for it! Problem solved! Now stop crying about classic

[Starz-boulderfist]

I love seeing girls bitter people come into a forum and bash a game they have little interest in.

[Kindwolf-emerald-dream]

Whose crying? Are what is " girls bitter people" about?

Lmao get some thicker skin champ.
