Why classic is a LOT worse than retail

Community General Discussion

1.The “weapon skills” It is so bad hitting a mob and having it be a miss and then a parry and then a dodge and then they hit you and its a crushing crit.

2.Pvp in classic is absolutely horrendous pve gear being completely overpowered and being able to have your entire health bar disapear before your very eyes like a magic trick because somebody got a random crit.

3.pve in classic is mind numbingly easy with most dungeon and raid fights having 2 mechanics maximum. Which amazingly is not stopping people from wiping on 14 year old fights in icc.

  1. the classes in classic are about as shallow as they can pheasibly be i remember when ret was mostly literally auto attacks.

i’m sure there are more

It’s a swing and a miss!

I’m not i said pve gear is op in pvp which is awful because again pve in classic is absolutely brainless .
Deathbringers will among other trinkets were allowed to be obscenely op despite being a pve item.

Classic content and classes being much simpler is part of the appeal for many players.

Yeah, people with better gear should easily roll over others. Complexity doesn’t = good.

When you’re done with this topic, OP, you could start a thread telling us why wow is better than tetris.

For the gamers who don’t wanna be put through the wringer with complex mechanics, 1 shots, actually needing to utilize CC and dispels with precision, and knowing your class front to back with massive 20 button rotations - classic is where they go.

There’s nothing wrong with that. They just want a game to chill on, not have to go hardcore to learn and master.
