The Wrath of the Lich King Classic Pre-Patch Goes Live August 30

What vanilla experience? Mega servers where I never see the same people twice? I love my mega server for this exact reason. The world feels so much bigger because there are so many available people to do stuff with. However this new LFG tool is so busted that trying to find a group as DPS will be awful.

On another point, dual spec was not in OG Wrath at launch but we will have it on pre-patch…

The dream of vanilla community is dead and this is proven by the majority of the player base migrating to mega servers to have access to content.

I would accept this if they came out and said it. I would level to 80 and then cancel my sub until RDF came out. Instead I will get to 80 and then go to raids with my guild and not be pre-raid BIS because the number of dungeons I can do will be greatly diminished.

These guys just push their dumb agendas when it’s convenient to them

Not until they’ve changed everything to where the retailers are happy.

It didn’t come at the end of the expansion. Do you do ANY kind of research before spouting off?

New content has always been released on Thursdays. Tuesdays for patches and maintenance.

Plz reconsider releasing the RDF, it’s good for the game to have a tool that includes non-meta classes in groups to do stuff, sometimes we just want to do a dungeon even if we have to wait, I play with 4 classes in TBC and its cancer to get an invite with my rogue in any dungeon group or with my ret pally. You want to endorse human interations in dungeons, but the scenary we have today is ppl actually excluding classes they dont consider to be OP and the only human interation is during invites, if someone wants to create a group they can just create it and announce in channels, if they dont, they can just join RDF or see if someone is creating a group that demands his class thats a way better to do stuff, I dont want to pay for something to logon and have nothing to do with the classe i like to play.

Today seems like a day for some wild takes so far lol. All of these changes are not retail freindly, they are the opposite. Sweatlords are probably pretty stoked at having no dungeon finder, more gatekeeping, etc. Litterally every change blizzard has announced caters to those with no life, wrath was originally designed to be more casual freindly, which is what many of us are today, being in our late twenties and even late 30’s with jobs and families.

Never had a problem getting into a group on any class.
My secret? I’m building my groups.

Giving free win trinkets and weapons that early is a dumb move (especially considering they’d be bis or close to bis). I’m not saying they WONT do it, but it doesnt make any sense.

Playing as a dps in retail and having this feature already available to me, there is no problem finding a group as dps. As you said you play on a mega server with more people looking for groups.

So complain half-way into the game then? If your debate is arguing phrasing, you’re still wrong.

3 weeks Prepatch is ok but 3 weeks to lvlving from 1 to 80 so short and no fun . Make Freshserver sooner .

Thanks but I think I will point out the glaring error now. Feel free to disagree, but trying to silence me? Not a good look.

I think a lot of people are underestimating the want for fresh start servers. People who stopped playing because of the boosting and DKP. I also think that this is WAY too late to start the fresh starts, i cant comprehend why they would wait this long to start them up. But they don’t read these or any other posts so who cares really i guess.
