What Is You Least Favorite Thing About Classic?

For me its weapon skills and leveling them.

Also shoutout to the dwarf hunter in my guild who got Rhok’delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers then realized he never trained bow skill.

World Buff for sure. Trivializes already easy content, encourages players not to log in their main to save buffs which removes the community feeling of hanging out in cities with guildies.

Also people caring about parsing in a 15+ year video game with 2 button rotations or less on most classes.

World Buffs. Takes up so much time and is so toxic with people being sketch about head drops plus other factions camping things like songflower.

that the best druid spec (bear tank) doesn’t get a tier set and instead all the tier pieces go to the druids worst spec (resto).

Blizzard’s severe lack at defeating bots better than their efforts thus far, just so they can look better with inflated numbers. Imagine being so greedy you’d rather see your own game fail.

I believe all of these player behaviors are a result of a shared sub with retail. If those players went away many of these behaviors would as well.

I love leveling weapon skills, by the way.

I think the vanilla/classic honour system is kind of bad.

Overall however, Vanilla was such a well-built game compared to sloppier and sloppier expansions. Its incredible.

(I like world buffs btw. I also think its hilarious how people take farming and dispelling them so seriously.)

I think the biggest flaws in an otherwise brilliantly designed game are…

World buffs. Such a ridiculously cheesy and overpowered exploit. None of what we’re doing with them was intended, and nothing was tuned with them in mind. I get them every raid because I don’t want to look like a slacker who doesn’t give his all to the team, but it feels dirty every single time. Luckily this gets fixed in TBC.

Paid boosting. It’s pay-to-win. It fuels the gold selling industry. Which has littered servers with bots. In most other RPG’s this would be considered blatant cheating. And it harms the community by reducing the pool of people available to run dungeons the intended way.

Multiboxing. Also pay-to-win. And another thing that should be considered blatant cheating, but it’s not because Blizzard is bribed to look the other way.

GDKP runs. More pay-to-win. And another thing that fuels the gold selling industry. Which litters the game with bots.

So fix the world buff exploit, and somehow remove all the pay-to-win trash, and this game would be damn near perfect. But I know it’s not going to happen, and I understand why, so we just have to live with it.

I don’t like Gnome Mages. They are awful.

There are different variants of spec compositions. Some published, some not. Perhaps you’ve made a new discovery. If the group doesn’t listen to facts and is not open to reason, then I think its safe to say that you should change to a guild that is.
