The mage cleave groups we saw during classic launch, av hpm focus, gdkp quick gearing, the dg boosting, and the paid level boosts sure do point to classic being “GO GO GO.”
Me and 4 other people from my guild all spellcleaved dungeons to 70 in 1 and a half days.
You’re 100% right, TBC is pretty much go go go.
I think this will be even moreso in WotLK.
Cross-realm dungeons doesn’t solve your raiding problem on low pop realms. Nor your arena problem, your empty world problem, etc. etc.
Don’t use LFD as a get out of jail free card for Blizzard on server balance. Make them fix that, NO COMPROMISE. There has been an easy solution forever and they know it (OLD Blizzard devs have talked about it), they just don’t have the spine to take a minor risk in the leadership.
I had a crazy social experience during my initial TBC dungeon leveling process. And the few times I’ve gone back to do dungeons they’ve been relatively social. Maybe I just like to make stupid dad jokes or encourage my tanks to do insane pulls or whatever so that helps. Sure maybe once you’re in a guild that moves into discord, but until then social interactions should still be sought after in the game-design. In fact they should do MORE to encourage it, but that would require adding some new gameplay elements which is likely not going to happen here.
I will be honest I think people thought I was a ninja back in the day. I was a noob hunter who for all of TBC and part of Wrath thought shammy gear was good for me. It took someone yelling at me “You don’t need that you huntard. Agility is what you want.” That didn’t happen until Wrath.
I responded. “But don’t I want a high mana pool so I can keep usining my abilitys and not run out of mana?”
“What kind of idiot are you?” It took me a bit as I wasn’t feeling good after that but I learned to replace me gear. Also I think someone “blacklisted me because I took all that shammy gear.” In cata I did a xmog run and the raid lead demanded I talk to them. Only thing was I couldn’t because they had me on ignore (and they forgot why lol.) I had to get someone else to tell them and they took me off ignore and we moved onward with the run. I even tamed Chromagas out of it all for the lust buff.
