They have added even more proof to how nerfed 1.12 actually is.
Do people really think this mass pulling was possible pre patch 1.10? Seriously? Not unless you were way over leveled it wasn’t, but that’s not what’s happening in Classic. It’s appropriate level groups clearing dungeons in two pulls or less…
Saddest part is so many players still refuse to believe that Vanilla WoW was ever any harder than this.
Will Blizz address this? I hope so.
What a shame.

Why would we care if it was possible pre patch 1.10? Classic is based on 1.12.

The insisting by many that Vanilla WoW was easy mode like Classic is getting old that’s all.

I think you’re seriously underestimating the ability for modern gamers to adapt to the best methods of grinding this game.

I find lots of complexity, difficulty, and enjoyment from classic wow.
I don’t really care that people out there find the paths of least resistance. The way they play and experience the game has zero bearing on how I play and experience it.

Why do you care so much?
Does it tarnish your gaming reputation to all your gaming friends?

Sounds really boring to me. Like farming rifts in Diablo 3. I usually form my own group, and I don’t stack particular classes. More fun to run dungeons the old fashioned way, IMO.

Explain how it wouldn’t have been possible before patch 1.10. Go on, show us some math and evidence to solidify your claim.

Bad players wiping in 2006 is your proof, okay.

Did you play back then?
how does him playing back then or not prove you couldn’t mass pull? just because a strategy wasn’t used commonly doesn’t mean it couldn’t be done.
Players are a lot smarter and better than they were 15 years ago.

If he played back then he would understand.

Like retail or not, the game got harder when folks got more skilled. Classic was hard at the time, Naxx especially so, but mechanically basically anything in classic will be a cakewalk to current mythic raiding. That’s what players are used to, so coordinated mass pulling naturally won’t be very hard as it’s pretty straightforward

but do you have any proof besides fond memories from 15 years ago?
telling people “you wouldn’t understand” just because they didn’t play actual vanilla doesn’t make you right.

AOE farming groups existed in vanilla
Players found all sorts of exploits and clever uses of abilities and groups

Coordinated mass pulling prior to 1.10 would be an insta whipe for the players back then AND for the players of today. Did you really not know that the patch history clearly states massive nerfing from 1.10 onward?
It had NOTHING to do with strategy or skill. It was literally impossible since you would be dead in seconds.
