weird axe to grind, but go off
It is really not odd. It simply pushes back against a fundamental difference in developer mentality between vanilla and the current team.
I doubt it.
This would be an interesting experiment. Take the average group of retail LFR raiders, and port them into AQ or Naxx with no coms, no consumables, no preparation. Make their characters level 60, with gear comparable to what we have now.
The chances of them coordinating things and clearing all of the bosses is pretty much zero. But those same groups clear their respective LFR raids in retail most of the time, because it’s nerfed to the point that coms, coordination, preparation, and teamwork is not needed, by design.
The first guild to clear Naxx didn’t have any tanks in the raid at all. Everything was tanked by fury warriors.
That’s how faceroll it is.
Fury warriors are tanks in Classic. Ever heard of Fury/Prot? But if you knew anything about Classic, you’d know that.
You telling me warriors in agility leathers and no shields tanked the bosses? they may not have had deep prot talents but I’m reasonably sure they had some tank gear to run the fight, and fury/prot specs get most of the fury damage while getting the bare minimum to tank a boss. That would quite simply not have been the case if it was truly blind, like in OG wow.
Sort of? LFR requires MUCH less preparation, but I’d say the execution rates are likely the same. Even LFRs wipe if not enough people care about the mechanics, at least until enough people have geared up properly.
Do you get drunk and cry at how worthless life is while watching the Olympics?
Some people who are the best players at this game did well. That really shouldn’t have a bearing on your enjoyment of it.
Man, the day I learned someone had climbed Mt. Everest I quit hiking. Can’t compete with them. Their accomplishment completely devalued the enjoyment of my hobby. I’m going to go sit in a dark room and sulk.

the # of guilds that have killed naxx bosses is way higher than back then.
so not getting pulled into any more troll posts by you.
It’s clear you don’t even understand the underlying problem with what I’ve said.
This is 15 year old content and we know everything about naxxramas from retail WoW…how did you not expect a full instant clear on release? Nothing is new here. Everything could be practiced ahead of time.
Umm…bad news for you…raid progression requires no gear in some cases:

Then we’re back to the front: The WoW Classic experiment is a failure.

It never succeeded, true classic wow would have to begin with resetting everyone’s memory and having dial up internet with thotbot as your only source of information, and start from the very first release, not patch 1.12.
Do you guys have Fun data like first 3 per faction per server? That would be fun to find out.

Y’all clamored for #nochanges, so celebrating the steamroll is all they can realistically do.
