How to know if someone played vanilla!

[MrPaladinGuy]

If you saw the Leeroy video when it first came out and thought those players were great.

[exquisite]

If you still avoid Hillsbrad while leveling an alt out of habit.

Drakedog the warlock pvp master
having riding enchant on gloves, mithril spurs on boots, and carrot on a stick for faster moving in PVP
Engineer trinkets that reflect a certain school of magic like frost or fire
using noggenfogger to jump from the giant tree to darkshore
climbing the mountains behind kargath to get underneath stormwind
wall walking

[Grimfrost]

If you remember barrens chat or mankirks wife or remember the paladins during molten core who had to give buffs all raid long.

[Franzy]

I know most of these "You know' things, and I started at the end of LK..
And some of the stuff here still existed pre 4.0.1, and still some in cata.

If you saw the Leeroy video when it first came out and thought those players were great.

and rolled a shaman cuz you watched unbreakable

[Anavrin]

When warriors had to "stance dance" fears on onyxia/neff.

Farming encrypted twilight texts and cultist gear in Silithus to pay for your epic mount, and after you're done realizing you too wanted exalted with the Cenarion circle for the AQ20 mace.

You played Vanilla if you admit it was a terrible game and you feel you wasted your time on it, and you lay awake at night wishing you'd just played when TBC came out instead.

Also you keep mistaking everything for Molten Core scenery.

It will never go away.

Help me.

[ChaosWolf]

You remember Naxxramas as 40-man endgame content.

[mercutiouk]

well UBRS was a 15m dungeon. I still remember queuing for that.

The old "best way" was ppl with pvp titles but as they brought those back... I guess checking WHEN someone got a pvp title. If it's from the date of the achievements patch they're likely vanilla

[PizzaSHARK]

You played vanilia if you know, Scholo was originally a 10man raid instance.

15 man. Successfully finishing it with only 5 was valuable street cred.

You played vanilla if you remember when tanking actually involved player skill.
You played vanilla if you remember when Sap pulled the Rogue out of stealth and it was a race to pick up the mobs before they splattered the Rogue all over the walls.
You played vanilla if you remember the original Badass Warrior Weapon was Blackhand Doomsaw, not some pussy "arcanite reaper" bullshit.
You played vanilla if you remember a time when you could tell some uppity little Paladin to "shut the fuck up and heal me," and they'd say okay instead of raging about the Blizzard bourgeoisie trying to keep the hard working Ret Paladin down.

Another thing, I'll never forget dueling in Ironforge by using the little pillar trick to challenge. I don't remember when they fixed it, but it made me so sad.

[Gemini Soul]

When blessing of salvation was the BEST buff ever for a DPS.

[Angella]

Easy.. they quit WoW sometime during Wrath because it was never the same after BC...

Guilty as charged.

Also you played vanilla when you know that an honor grind involved 80-90 hours/week no sleep no food.

[Deleted]

Yeah except early on a lot of us 'enjoyed' running on foot, until 60. Who actually had 100g from questing back then?

Me .

You actually played since vanilla .. if you call it classic.

[Angella]

Oh you played vanilla if you feared shockadins and their god-like holy fire of death.

When the server was an actual community. Everyone knew each other, especially in BG's and world pvp.

This peaked for me in TBC. Certainly present in vanilla though.

[Playintrafic]

Iron forge was not the only city with an auction house OP.

Its just that the AHs were not linked, and that was teh good auction house.

[Arkenaw]

They insist on bragging to everyone in earshot that they played vanilla. :P
