I mean, how is this affecting you at all? I get it, you wanted the not nerfed to dumb hell retail version of the raids, but I mean, how does this affect you now? I’m level 17 and couldn’t care less if a group of people cleared the raids… It doesn’t change anything to my adventures in Azeroth. Does it change yours? Maybe there is something I just don’t get… For me, Classic isn’t all about endgame like retail is, the actual journey of leveling and exploring is important. If what you are looking for is 13 version of the same content but more and more difficult, maybe go back to retail? I dont mean this to sound arrogant or anything, but this is exactly what retail is.

I think it’s the fact many people kept saying how Classic was going to be this bigger challenge then retail. When you get pumped up for something and then it turns out to be not what you thought, that will always be disappointing.
I’m going into Classic taking my time as I don’t have the time I use to have, but that doesn’t mean everyone has the same intent. For a lot of people endgame is the only part of the game and what they thought was going to be difficult is now completely trivial. Information is going to spread like wildfire and MC is going to be farmed now by almost everyone who wants to in the upcoming days.

Yeah I guess I can understand that.
Classic is a challenge. Keep in mind this essentially a pro team that pulled this off. They have been practicing this raid for 10 years and apparently were able to exploit the current system as well. Its like sending the US pro hockey team to the Olympics. Of course they are going to win.

There were people in the classic forums all but guaranteeing leveling will take weeks, guaranteeing nobody would kill rag for atleast 3 weeks. Just constant obnoxious overglorifying. It’s fun to laugh at their expense.

I mean it still is. You can literally pug every raid in retail, and gear up in a matter of days.

Some really stupid people thought we were going to log on to classic and go back to key board turning or heard stories about it
Then really stupid people decided to make these people the representatives for classic WoW
Then other people misunderstood people saying Vanilla was hard due to X reasons, most of which no longer apply and
Anyone that had idea of how this was going to play out we’d assume that most the raid content would be extremely easy in comparison to today standards
Again information about using the ubrs mob to make a lot of the content trivial is basic knowledge for anyone who wants to do MC now, available. There are virtually no mechanics in MC so yeah MC is now easier to do then a dungeon.
Thats a tall order for 15 years of people knowing the game upside down
Again, I know Classic was never going to be this super hard game, but a lot of people pre classic release were trying to sell it like it was. If you never played vanilla, you might believe these people and now some could be disappointed that it’s not what they where told.
Maybe because an entire progression system is virtually wiped out? Because you no longer need to farm fire resistance gear, you don’t even need to be level 60 apparently. Progression systems are why people were looking forward to classic wow.
I think people are upset that they’ll look ridiculous wiping to a boss that was killed the week the game was released. What and how well others do things has no bearing on my enjoyment.

Go prove it now. Take a completely random group and run it. Going to bet you wipe often.

It’s going to get more challenging moving into future phases. Recall that 1.12 has been established as THE baseline patch moving forward. Should be interesting.
In the meantime, Im enjoying the scenery and loving Classic.

some less educated people swore up and down on this very forum that it would take weeks to kill. they were pretty confident, some went as far as calling us dumb or stupid for saying it will be down soon

Because people live that OUTRAGE CULTURE, lol.
Yup. Really that is the only way to play Classic. Anything else is really missing the point.
People feared that the values would be heavily nerfed or modern values would be used, and alas, it happened.
This has nothing to do with knowing the fights. It should be mathematically impossible to do this when your tanks have no def/resists, your healers have no mana regeneration/healing and your damage dealers have no hit. Much less when people aren’t even 60.

if you exclude the PServer players the regular gamers aren’t very close yet to even doing MC. Classic is a joke to people that have been farming Classic for years and years and years.
