The content being too easy makes flasks worthless

Kind of sucks that one of the key moneymakers in the game and the end-game culmination of your alchemical abilities is no longer useful because of the extreme content nerfs. No one is going to blow 60g for MC/Ony. Hell! No one even wants to run Scholo to get to the lab.

This may be Classic but it sure ain’t vanilla! I guess I’ll be dropping alchemy for engineering like all the other zoomers.

I’ve got news for you bud, like nobody used consumables in vanilla outside of guilds pushing cutting edge content.

Now days you wouldn’t even need it for that given how much better people are. Vanilla was always super easy, people claiming it’s because of nerfs just blow my mind.

No “bud” I’ve got some news for you: I’ve been playing classic for 15 years, stop gaslighting me or I’ll report you.

Great, save your money. This will all change once BWL and beyond comes out anyway.

There are too many alchemists in classic anyway. I guess it’s all the private server kids that thought they’d be make the same bank on servers without inflated economies manipulated by the chinese

I wouldn’t say that it’s because of “nerfs”, but 1.12 itemisation, tuning, and debuffs aren’t anything like when the current Classic content was relevant.

Report me for what? I played classic too, you’re outright wrong dude. The game was always a joke.

It’s not because of nerfs, it’s because the average player today is many, many, many times better at the game and knows far more.

I remember people in my guild keyboard turning and clicking during Sapphiron prog.

The reality is you never needed consumables for any of this stuff. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Dont worry. Even BWL alone will change things.

Flasks were literally an integral part of the fabric of vanilla realm economies. To say that Flasks weren’t important or revered by the average player as the ultimate alchemical moneymaker shows how naive you are about the original culture of the game. Based on your retail character I’m guessing it’s because vanilla WoW dropped a few years before you were born.

You are completely incorrect. I literally never used a flask, not one time during vanilla.

I raided in the best guild on my server. This is like my 4th wow account. I promise you that I am better than you are at this game and know more about this game than you do.

Yeah you were in a scrub guild with clickers and keyboard turners that didn’t use flasks in Naxx progression. Great accreditation. “Clicker” was an insult in 2005. I guess nobody remembers “nice binds” whenever someone posted a screenshot without keybinds.

Sorry this isn’t retail kiddo, giving Blizz more money doesn’t make you better at the game. Lmao… 4 accounts.

Lmao that guild managed to down KT. Literally every guild had keyboard turners and clickers in vanilla, because you guessed it, the game was a complete joke.

Large portions of the game clicked in vanilla. The fact you’re seemingly unaware of this makes me doubt you ever played the game at any real level.

Which is likely why you’re posting on a lv 13 with a hidden profile.

Tier 1 content.
v1.12 balances and character improvements and fixes
v1.10 item revamp and upgrades
Countless nerfs to Tier 1 content along with Tier 0 content.

Classic Phase 1 is a joke, fixed it for you. When Phase 3 comes out, guilds will down BWL instantly but the fraction of guilds clearing it will be much lower. Same when AQ40 and Naxx come out.

People playing the content for years will do well for it, pugs and inexperienced guilds will struggle with it, just like any content.

60g for a flask? Bro you’re lucky to even get a black lotus for under 90g on whitemane, flasks are pushing 130-160g on the server and BWL isn’t even out yet

Idk what graveyard of a server you’re playing on but those prices are insanely cheap

Black Lotus sells for about 15g on my realm.

There’s no god damn mechanics in the game, it’s tuned at LFR level, how can you possibly struggle with this?

Ummm, so you think that the players today are better at a game that has been changed to a “fair” game? Using fair sarcastically!

It is Vanilla FFS. It’s 1.12. Also the nerfs to content were very minor. The content was already faceroll when it was released.

Remember they also nerfed all of the farming spots you all cried about.
or don’t you remember before release… “NERF DM IT WILL DESTROY THE ECONOMY!”
