WOTLK is going to die faster than any of the previous classic iterations

the raid logging is going to start this week.

Arena is going to be impossible to deal with facing people already fully PVP geared from wintergrasp spamming early… and selling boosts

GDKP is already happening

Phase 2 ulduar is going to most likely be riddled with vehicle bugs… we’re already witnessing these bugs in normal WOTLK activities where all sorts of mayhem is happening utilizing the horrible vehicle addition of WOTLK

My group of friends are already discussing leaving skyfury for benediction when transfers open back up.

It will last better than TBCC but not Vanilla classic. Same behavior that existed in Vanilla will continue into the different expansions.

Hopefully the phases are fast as well. Cata waiting room.

you’re prolly right there. TBCC was pretty much DOA… i didn’t know anyone really who played it from the group of us… and we cleared Naxx a few times before going to different games

Been a fun ride so far? I have at least 1 alt that will eventually get the 80 hike…. Eventually tht means the game has tons of replay value in that act alone… Now imagine having two or three alts…

You have no clue…

Yup. Dragonflight will also be a harsh awakening for all the Wotlk andies. I could even see Wotlk losing a lot of players to SoM2.

People are really spooked about this arena gear advantage. Give it two weeks after arena launch and it won’t matter. They’ll either be 2K+ or they’ll suck and be stuck around 1400 anyway.

Dragonflight seems to be good right … a lot of classes seem to have multiple A+ tier specs available… “revenge DPS Tank Warrior” appears to be back as well

I think it will pull a lot of people from WOTLK to retail, atleast for pre-launch and the first little bit

On top of retail being a genuinely better game, better auctionhouse, better in game UI at launch, better graphics, and easier to find groups to do stuff.

Folks don’t really talk in WOTLK classic right now as far as PUGs are concerned, and the same goes for retail… the mentality has def carried over

I don’t think it will die that quickly. The version they released is really fun. I think it’ll stick around for several months.

You’re insane.

That’s what happens anyway. There’s an initial addictive buzz keeping people for a couple months and it drops off.

With as much as there is to do i doubt people raid log this early. To much gold to be made in gdkps with alts. A lot of people are achievement farming/mount farming etc

WOTLK PvP is arguably worse than retail

Its all TSG and Arms/Holy

Arguable by an idiot maybe.

Wrath isn’t Classic WoW, it’s retail’s second soulless expansion.
