Because that’s all there is for people to do.
If you’re not in end game now, you’re just wasting your time there.
People said Classic was about leveling and “the journey”, but that’s a complete lie. They just want to get to the end to raid.

It’s a video game.
It’s a waste of time by default.
You are going to quit playing eventually and all the effort you put in will be gone.
These boosters and speedrunners don’t seem to understand that concept.
That’s the retail mentality leaking into Classic.
It took over around the time all the sweaty neckbeards farmed the people who actually like WoW off of the game so they could get Rank 4 in 2019.

You can defend your obsession with old content all you like, but that doesn’t change the fact that from Vanilla to Wrath, it was never about “the journey”. It was grinding through as fast as possible to get to max level.
That’s exactly WHY Retail is the way it is today. No one ever liked leveling, even back then, and “getting it over with” was always the goal.
Making such a ridiculous statement doesn’t negate what I said.

Except you, like Eyr, are just assuming that I use Questie and yet you have no evidence to prove as much. Presumptuous much?
I never stated that the questing experience is “always the same” so I’m not sure whose butt you pulled that out from. And why you would place it in quotations as though you are directly quoting me is a mystery to me.
Can the questing experience by a bit tedious at times? Absolutely yes and I imagine most if not all people have felt that way at one point or another. Especially after they’ve leveled their umpteenth character.
I am not defending boosting. I was simply offering up a possible reason as to why some, not all, people might choose to do so. Yes, I admitted to using one of my characters on one account to boost another character on a second account on a few occasions. And so what? What business is it of anyone’s to dictate how I play the game? If you want to pick up my subscription costs I’ll be more than happy to play the game whatever you dictate is best.

Most players in Vanilla didn’t even get to 60.
Even less raided.
Of those that raided most didn’t even get past Vael in BWL.
Even less saw AQ.
Less than 5% globally even saw Naxx the first time around.
Retail is the way it is because of the hyper-casuals crying about every little thing to the point that blizzard removed all the uniqueness from the game.
No more Tradeskill specializations.
Class normalization where your choice between classes is what colour of spell effects you want.
Removing PVP servers entirely because people kept rolling on PVP servers and then complaining when they encountered PVP outside of BGs.
It’s the objective truth.
All video games are a waste of time.
They’re designed to gobble your time up and give you fun.

Taken in context of what I said, your statement was ridiculous. I was not talking about videos games as a whole, but WoW as a time sink in general.
Which is why people started boosting and haven’t stopped since way back them. You’re not disproving what I said, you’re strengthening my argument.
Thanks.
You’re just full of ridiculousness.
Clearly we won’t agree on anything, so I’m moving on.

It’s supposed to be a time sink.
That’s what it was designed to do.
No people started boosting because the attitude of “Only the end game matters” took over the same some time between OG TBC and Wrath
Is that your way of saying “I don’t have a counter-argument to this statement”?
Yeah it sucks when you can’t admit you’re wrong and have to walk away from a conversation to save your ego.

She also talks like she’s an expert when she was wrong about every single assertion she made.

it’s sad when people can’t enjoy the simple pleasure of leveling 1-60
what i don’t get is why these people feel the need to play classic WoW at all… like, isn’t there some new more modern game you can play instead? or are all modern games really so terrible now that even people with these poor attitudes have to invade classic WoW? lol

I don’t get it either tbh.
If you’re solely raid and PVP focused Classic is not the game you should be playing.
The PVP is horrendously unbalanced and the raiding could be done by a drinking bird.

They’re Retail dropouts who want to feel like all-stars. So they boost to max, stack every world buff and consumable for already easy content so they can tear through it and /flex.
Two can play this game

Cause south america’s economy just had a crash.
No one enjoyed it.
Mokjin didn’t understand that, and neither do you.
He can say whatever he wants, and attempt to cling needlessly to some youthful idea of what WoW “used to be” but that will never be captured again.
There is no “journey” in Classic anymore. That ship sailed when it stopped being live content.
Regardless, I’m done with this topic, I’m muting the entire thing and moving on.
Good luck with your misplaced nostalgia.
There’s nothing wrong with speedrunning in and of itself.
It’s the arrogance that comes along with it.
People act like being good at WoW is some amazing feat.
WoW is designed to be a casual easy game, this version especially.
you sure do love speaking for tons of people when in fact you can only speak for yourself
So don’t play it and take your negative attitude elsewhere, the game would be better for it.
A lot of people enjoy it. There’s a reason Fresh servers are always so popular. And it’s not the endgame, where players could be raiding in Era right now.
