500 thousand better than TBC isnt all that impressive a gain to be honest.
Private servers are better because they police botting and cheating; something Blizzard lacks almost entirely, only making a show of force when people start to complain enough.
failure to enforce the rules kills the games, emboldens cheaters and kills the fun.
Pirate servers actually have staff selling gold and characters full geared to chinese all the way, if you don’t know this by now you’re just acting like a clown and entertaining us by being a low bait troll
Most of the things wrong with the game are due to the typical 2022 player mindset & attitude - which is likely a vivid reflection of RL society in general.
casual gdkp might be a good way of solving no new players. As for pvp and bots with new racial balance I can see that solved, bot though I am not sure we will ever have a solution aside from making herbs spawn every 5 seconds.
Literally 3 of your 4 reasons will continue in wrath and its debatable that classic or even later versions of retail are just as bad when it comes to PvP balance lmao.
Its not TBC you dont like. Its this community post mega servers lol.
GL in wotlk though. Fresh servers might be on the way for people that dont like how out of control the economy has gotten.
Yeah, the people that run private servers are really good at policing botting because they don’t want competition when they themselves try to sell gold to their own players.
