The only zone i was like oh no about going into was Zul Drak. A lot quicker this time than i remembered though.
leveling on a fresh start realm was fantastic (until everyone left me behind). It will be the new thing I’m nostalgic for. Now that I’m 80 the game feels like administrative work, staffing my groups, availabilities, sending memos. I wish I could have those 3 weeks back.
I stopped playing retail during Legion and was always a hater. Refused to play BfA and Shadowlands. However, I gave it a shot a few weeks ago and… it’s not that bad? Honestly, it will never give me as much joy as it gave during MoP, but I think that’s ok. I’m older, have a bunch of other stuff to worry about now. And the pace is much lighter, I can play with my friends as much as I want.
On the other hand, I really liked WOTLK Classic. The game felt way more alive, and I really don’t mind it being slower and grindier. I did it once, could do it again. However, as many people said, the lack of RDF is a bit of a hassle to me as well. On top of that, the community merged into this salty/zoomer/minmaxer state where you need perfect gear to do normals… Back then, I remember I was invited to run Naxx with a lot of bad gear. I didn’t even know what I was doing. And we did it anyways.
I guess this is the game now. Another community, another mindset. Sadly, it seems like it’s not for me anymore.

The grind was much worse than I remember it. Maybe I’m less tolerant now of grinding, I dunno. Leveling post 73/74 felt terrible.
I played a shaman in OG wrath and playing pld now. Much prefer the pld. I was doing it wrong apparently. Server is absolutely dripping in plate right now though, so groups aren’t super easy to find.
The zones are as fun as I remember them being. I liked zul drak more this time around actually.
I don’t know wtf I was doing in OG wrath but I’m speed running heroics in greens minutes after hitting 80 and bomb healing people like it’s my calling in life. While jumping around and dpsing a bit. I don’t remember the dungeons being this easy. I plan on pugging naxx this weekend.
I didn’t have expectations. So yes.
I’ve had a ton of fun so far.
I was hitting some burnout at the end of TBC, and expected to not get too into wotlk, but now im sinking more time into classic than I have since vanilla, doing pve and pvp, I wish I could run more naxx 25 on my chars right now.
Classes feel really good right now, I love the game again.

You aren’t fooling anyone.
This is the only character I post on the forums on, don’t bother. Just check history. I’m not who you think i am.
This is really weird behavior. I’m not garmuck, and I don’t know how to prove that to you, but you need to stop harassing me. it’s really weird.
Whatever issue you have with garmuck is between you two, I’m literally just another random person on the forums. Please leave me alone. You’re legit being insane.
Please leave me alone. I have nothing to do with Garmuck and I have no idea why you are literally bothering me to this extent. Please leave me alone.
I’m just going to ignore you again. I don’t know how to prove it to you, but if u can think of a way to prove im not him send it!
Please, leave me alone dude. Seriously. Goodbye though, i’m not gonna respond to you any further. This is the most cringe, weird thing I have experienced in a while on the internet. I’m not garmuck, i have never been garmuck, i don’t know what your obsession is with him but that is not my problem. I am some random dude who gave his opinion on garmuck and that was it. Leave me alone.
Go to the CS forums and add to Garmucks OP there, maybe it will help both of you in this case. There’s a line and accusing someone of being a groomer with no proof is incredibly insulting and damaging.

I didn’t have any and it was still meh.
About matched. The leveling rush was painful, but I dislike leveling, and anyway pre-raid gearing was easy and relaxing. I love how well you can strategize a gearing path even if it isn’t optimal. Hindsight and meta mindsets haven’t disrupted the game too much. The setting still hits me. Really looking forward to Ulduar because I missed it the first time.
Leveling was faster than I’d remembered, even without looms/rested
Pvp is WAY faster than I remembered, even for season5 (s8 is gonna be nuts since damage always outscales survivability)
Gearing has been absolutely insanely fast… There’s just so many bosses in nax + sarth and EoE (and VoA)… and then badges being able to fill some slots. We’re 3 weeks in, and I’m in nearly 100% full ilvl 213+ gear, most of which is either outright bis or 2nd-3rd bis… and that’s BEFORE my guild swaps to split running raids for less loot competition… I thought it was just me getting lucky (and my guild is caster light), but I’ve seen a number of others in dalaran at the same gear levels. It’s been super fast… to the point where tier longevity may become a concern.
raid are super easy and boring, everyone is raidlogging or afk in dal, WT are super boring, i remember people saying wotlkt pvp is the best whe n in reality is complete dogwater and countless bugs.
Well now that I’m 80 I’m realizing that what I miss about WOTLK was my friend group. And sadly they won’t be coming back.

Yep my CS thread worked, every single account including his current one got perma banned for ban evading and breaking ToS.
I even have a GM nice enough to keep my ticket open so any new account I can just send over to them and he’ll get banned, in the last 2 hours he made two new accounts and I got both of them removed too.
Dude just burned over a 100 bucks on WoW subs doing all of this too, it’s sad how he went out but it had to be done. He was going way too overboard.
