The extent to which people misremember this game astounds me.
This is working as expected. Some mobs simply have no loot.
For the record…
This one is my favorite.

I assume someone doesn’t remember aggroing a mob 20 levels above you from 150 yards away?

Predicting Aggro range is hard, again. LOL.

Time to reroll
In all seriousness though I’m both happy and sad because it means I can’t do it to other people and they can’t do it to me. Thanks for the clarifications. Both time and misinformation on the internet have made some things which are intended seem like bugs simply because videos from another patch, etc show us otherwise or we just forgot.

I’ve added several items to the list in the OP:
- Long quest objectives don’t have text wrapping.
- Fall damage is equivalent to expected and verified values.
- Broadcast text can be seen multiple times if multiple players interact with the same NPC.
- WANTED signs do not have “!”, and are also not highlighted.
- Player characters do not animate when looting/interacting with quest objects (e.g. collecting pumpkins).
- Gnomes and Taurens are the correct size.
The last one has been carefully verified.

Hopefully not TOO carefully. Respect people’s personal space.

Slow as an old man in slippers when fighting. Fast as Usain Bolt when feared.
Really made the warlocks who knew how to ping pong with Curse of Recklessness stand out.

sorry. testing forum permissions
I’ve updated the original post in this thread with:
- “Melee leeway” is working as intended.
After careful study and testing, we’ve found that for players with low latency, the state of melee leeway is how they would have experienced the game in 2006.
There are more people with low latency now than there were in 2006, so we expect for some it might feel different, but it is working as expected.

I was hoping for a little more detail on the leeway mechanic, since there’s so much conflicting information out there. For example…does it apply when fighting npcs or just against players?

Range players are gonna have a hard time in PvP then.
Melee players will learn how to play with the leeway range
Especially vs hunters when players will play with leeway/deadzone and probably some addons that will tell you how far you are from someone.
But at least it’s authentic. So, well, it’s ok ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")

They have tools to keep their distance, they will have to learn to better utilize range management.

Whilst I understand that this is accurate, in those days it was expected for most people to suffer from high latency whilst gaming.
In todays society we expect the opposite, and that latency will be considerably lower due to the increased technology and accessibility over the years.
Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to assume a slightly less aggressive leeway mechanic that takes into account that most people have good connections now; whilst not being as authentic, would better replicate the experience that players encountered in the game?
Honestly at this stage it feels like it will overwhelming push players towards melee classes such as Warrior which are already expected to be a strong majority of the player base.
