Yeah SoM 1.0 was a failure of design since day 1.
“Hey, I got a great idea! Let’s re-do Classic all over again despite everyone just getting over it and burned out on Classic. But this time, let’s make the bosses more difficult and remove world buffs so the players are forced to mass spam consumes at all times, thereby making them farm gold every day so they can continue to buy flasks! This is a great idea, guys!”
Yeah everyone thought it’d save time not using buffs. But instead they still didn’t wanna farm the cons either. Hence the incredible amount of people buying gold instead. Sappers we’re like 40g a pop before the dev made them multi proc. Lol
Yeah if they thought people wanted a more casual experience by removing world buffs it’s beyond me why the changes made the consumable requirement naxx level in p1. They should’ve just switched up a few mechanics and kept each phases difficulty similar to what it was. Removing world buffs would’ve been enough of an increase in difficulty. I want world buffs in future seasons and hindsight its always easy to nitpick but the som changes were horrible.
if you’re going to come to classic era avoid the pvp west cluster. guilds are starting to break apart now from people understanding the extremely awful people they have actually had to play with but they need alot more time to figure it out. there’s just too many jerks in the 4 raiding guilds. we’re slowly sorting it out but the eastern clusters seem to be ok.
Its getting worse each day, I cant buy or sell anything on AH.
Cant do a single dungeon and PVP…
I am playing horde on Jom…
this is the only problem SoM had: timing.
the next one will be far more popular
Why play a seasonal vanilla server in p6 when most people likely have 1 or several characters in p6 classic era?
Seems silly and is likely why there are 3 times as many people playing in era than SoM right now , at least on horde.
I really just would like to play my lv 60 SoM char in Wotlk, not a big deal since most players are 70 in TBC servers
False. Otherwise the pop at launch would not have been good. It was
