The other poster isn’t arguing in good faith, they’re just here to stir the pot. See how their very first post in this thread is laden with insults like “scrub” and the implication that people only want their BiS gear to “pwn noobs in bgs”, while crying about how rude and disrespectful it is to point out (accurately) the stupidity of comparing 1 in 20 per glaive, per week odds to 1 in 300,000,000 lottery odds LOL.
If you need any more evidence that this person is simply trolling, look at their 1 sentence derailment replies to thorough and substantive arguments, their total misdiagnosis of the Argumentum ad Hominem fallacy (classic trolling technique), their insistence that anyone with passion must be very upset… or simply take a gander at their posting history.
That other poster is a confirmed, bona fide, bad faith forum troll. But, thank you for the honest account of your experience with original TBC and now TBC classic, as well as the evolution of your life circumstances and relationship to the game over the years. It’s a well written post that I expect speaks to many of us.
Money increases the odds of “dropping” deluxe editions, credit card mounts, character boosts, etc.
And that is why Blizzard is rushing to release the next phase of content instead of honoring the original timeline.
Would it be more long term profitable to do the right thing for the long term health and happiness of the Classic community, and cherish and savor this very special gaming experience? Yes, but the individuals who make big decisions for publicly owned corporations aren’t incentivized to think that far ahead. They are only incentivized to think about mortgaging the future of their IP to juice the next quarterly earnings report. As for the future, who cares? They’ll collect a nice bonus, sell all their stock on the boost from that earnings report, and retire or jump ship to the next company. The future will be someone else’s problem.
I feel like you are confused on glaives, it is a 5pct drop rate with a 50/50 chance for it to be MH or OH, which doesn’t equate to a 9pct chance of having them drop weekly. They share the same item slot in loot.
Edit: The reason that some people claim that you can have both drop in a night would be a 5pct on top of another 5pct, with an off shoot of flipping a coin on both sides. So to get one of each is much lower then you are leading on.
If it was up to some people, classic would have lasted 10 months, TBCC 10 months, WotlkC 10 months. The classic trio would have ended a few months ago and Classic would be dead right now and we would have no solid servers left to play on aside from SoM.
Some people… smh
So you’d rather us do another 4 months of BT / MH?
Tbc has already has had incredibly long and boring phases.
Phase 1 was the worst phase of the game I’ve ever played in it’s entire history. Phase 2.5 was an absolute nightmare and never should have been nerfed without new content to replace it.
Honestly this is good to hear. I am in a Dad guild personally, and I feel like in a month we would be DEing 97pct of all gear anyway. If I was stuck into 3 more months of this phase I would just pass out due to bordem.
I agree with this. Because the majority of players set foot into Black Temple with SCC/TK bis gear, this phase of content was put in farm wayyyyy faster than most content tiers. If half of the raid groups are full clearing from the 2nd week, you can’t be having it on farm for 5 months—that would lead to burn out. There needs to be a somewhat balanced division of progression and farm. Personally I’ll enjoy progression far more than farm and I think a lot of people feel the same way.
I feel like it’s rolling through pretty quickly even if what I’m looking forward too is Wrath. I mean once we get done with Wrath all that is left is SoM servers and those feel even more pointless than retail has over the last couple of years.
That said once retails woes became as evident as they were I fully expected them to push Classic into a time table that would carry Q4.
“savored and cherished” bro, its a game. an almost 18 year old game at that. chill. I’ve been playing WoW since vanilla release too but damn, if you’re really in here about “savoring” a 18 year old game…no words man.
You seem to think classic TBC is just going to die when wrath comes. You can still play classic TBC.
What blizzard should consider doing is severely lowering the number of TBC servers/allowing free migration between servers once they launch wrath.
No one is stopping you from playing TBCC once wrath comes out. It will probably be better for you honestly since you’ll find like minded people that just want TBC and arent in the wrath waiting room.
TL;DR
CTFO, enjoy what you have now.
