I only quit wow 3 times. Right as cata came out because all my friends quit. right after mop came out because i went to a tbc private server. and then bfa when classic came out and tbc now. i dont see myself going back to retail without major overhauls. Honestly I dont think thats ever going to happen either so itll be tbc-wrath classic for me then ill prolly be done with wow.
So who is the authority on acceptable viewpoints? You?.. lol
im sorry did you take my general statement to everybody as a private message to you? i dont care.
You litterally said it as a response… You are trying to insist that if you don’t say what I agree with go back to retail… like you have any say over who gets to give feedback.
Well done, that’s a well I wouldn’t want to drink from. You wouldn’t have edited it if you weren’t getting pushback, but you can handwave the pushback as “not-serious.”
no i initially responded to the thread, not to you. you’re annoying and muted, buhbye.
I’m heartbroken.
I am pretty surprised anyone genuinely believes retail is better in any aspect honestly, that was nuts. I dont like the GDKP culture, but the alternative is likely no pugs at all so the suggestion becomes lead your own regular raids.
If all you care about is min max hardcore raiding I can see it. Other then that…well yea no.
You literally just proved my point. If my claims were so specious, why would you need to defend yourself? Shouldn’t the notion that you bought all of your raid gear be laughable?
Wow… delusions are an understatement. Someone proves you wrong and your defense is “Oh, uhh, well, uhh… you SHOULDN’T have had to prove me wrong if I wasn’t actually secretly right!”
That’s a pitifully desperate argument to make.
On-topic, I actually do play Classic for the boss fights, mechanics, loot, things to do, and the community. I enjoy it far more than I do retail in every respect. I went to a handful of AQ/BWL GDKP’s in phase 6 to get gold to afford consumes, but I’ve never had more than 1k at a time after buying my epic mount, Edgies, Sulfuras, and Lionheart Helm way back. In addition, Horde Westfall only has a handful of guilds even capable of raiding Naxx, and the only one that attempted a Naxx GDKP could only get like 11 bosses.
I’m sorry that you’ve had such a bad time with Classic, but just because you couldn’t break into a good guild doesn’t mean Retail is better than Classic. It just means that you’re a Retail player, and despite what many people may think, there’s nothing wrong with that.
Also protip: boosting and paid raids are worse in Retail than in Classic by a landslide. Retail trade chats and group finders are constantly spammed up with offers to pay gold for raid or Arena spots, at least on Classic you can escape GDKP on some servers.
Mankrik is a madhouse. Lots of people boosting, but lots not as well.
This was satire right?
There is ZERO chance classic COULD EVER become as god awful as shadow lands no matter how many things they changed.
He doesn’t even have a max retail toon, it was a troll.
You think i do, but i dont!!!
I only play TBC because its mechanically better desigbed than retail. I dont care about the community, stop speaking for me!!
Retail is full of people buying carries, don’t see how GDKP’s or boosts are any worse. The communities for both iterations are pretty bad.
If I remember correctly people were doing gdkp in tbc and wrath back in the day as well. Nothing has changed except the popularity of it and the increased player base.
increased player base
Should we tell him?
Thats because of personal loot and the trade restriction , it has nothing to do with the retail community of getting rid of GDKP. Blizzard can’t social police and neither can players… so they let PL to take over the loot distribution. PL killed nbg, ffa, ML, dkp and a lot of loot distribution systems.
I played wow since vanilla, and all the xpacs, all alliance. By far TBC is was the best xpac. However, what classic and TBC classic has morphed into is not the same, and its horrible.
It is a toxic dystopian money hungry environment and is no longer a game. Not fun at all.
Retail has it’s issues, but current state TBC/classic is trash.
