ive been playing retail since bc and have loved what the game was in a social aspect. i never got to play vanilla so i was interested to say the least when i heard classic was coming out. ive been playing classic since release and its been pretty fun! but now when i log into my retail account and try to have the same kind of experience, its just empty. nobody talks. i whisper people and nothing. i talk in general and trade talk and nothing. i see people moving and playing yet they do everything in their power to ignore social interaction.
so i have to ask, what is the point of retail now? ive worked so hard on my characters and spent alot of time and money playing over the years and now, whats the point? nobody wants to play together or even speak like its too much trouble for them or something? is retail dead and im forced to replay old content just to enjoy a game i have already played?
i love alot of classic but at the end of the day its still a very flawed game. is retail even worth it now?

If youâre not having fun there isnât a point. Playing video games are meant to be fun and relaxing. If you log on and just sit there bored, you just need to take a break from WoW.
The best thing you could do is find an active guild and make new friends to socialize with if you want to keep playing WoW. Everyone is playing Classic right now because itâs fresh(old) content. Once 8.3 comes/new expansion everyone will be back on retail again. Classic is a nice way to fill in the content droughts of retail.

Is retail worth is? To me, yes it is. To you? Only you can answer that. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. What works for you wonât work for others.
And to the person above me Jcon, yes I do. I donât like discord⌠but then again I prefer to be alone with my thoughts.

i agree on that but like i said i really enjoy classic but i already know where that game goes. and when new content comes out for retail people still wont act like they do in classic. you can solo most things so why bother with other people? i hate that mentality and im afraid thats just what retail will be from now on.

Ive stopped playing my retail characters for classic. Ive seen more conversations in Green chat in 5 minutes on Classic then ive seen in a month on retail.
Trade chat in Classic is busy with people LFG or trying to sell stuff. There is even friendly chatter across General chat from Zone to Zone.
In retail its just Trolls. Has been the entire Expansion.

Lol right⌠The rage and swearing at people in Ashenvale last night was real. That was if people could be bothered to stop with the Keenu Reeves puns or posting anal + whatever. Oh and did somebody say âThunderfury Blessed Blade of the Windseakerâ for the 50000th time?

If youâre looking to socialize more you just need to find a more active guild and make some new friends. Raiding, dungeons, M+, PvP, Islands, even leveling together with an actual group of people is really fun. Sitting in discord and talking and joking around while doing it all is even better. You just need to find the right group of people to play with IMO.
Retail wonât ever be like vanilla again because of LFG, phasing/cross realm/layering, ect. Itâs really up to the players to find their own groups of people to play with now. Sadly. WoW is really boring if youâre playing it solo IMO.

Half the time I play wow to get away from people and just level alts.
So yeah, I have plenty of reasons to come back. People are overrated anyways.

i agree 100 percent. ive not been able to find any of the right people sadly. nobody talks or responds and so much of the game outside of mythics and heroic raids can be done without saying a word to anyone. i hope blizz make content more difficult so it forces people to have to group and talk haha
Yes, just delete retail and stay on Classic. Thanks

The choice is there.

yer forgetting like, most people who come to complain about the game ânot being hard enoughâ for them donât even touch the challenging content and they just like to say itâs not; or they âdont have time for itâ
