What made classic wow better than current?

[Echo of Soul]

Reminds me of another user on this forum who liked to talk shit to everyone who is a sinner and likes vanilla more.

Blind faith and hate go hand in hand. The Blizzard cultists have plenty of both.

Honestly it's what got the Megathread closed. Why try and do the same shit again?

Yea. This thread is pretty much the same as the megathread was.

Yeah well. Its pretty common on both sides.
This is a never ending topic really. Even if blizz released official classic servers i think these topics would still exist and ppl would fight about their opinions :P
At least this is entertaining!

[Tijuana]

I'm doing some research and I'd like to hear your opinions guys and gals

Why was vanilla better? Age. Everything is great when you are a child, or a young adult. We don't get jaded until we get older.

Do not link to private servers by name, with images, with videos, or discuss your experiences on them.

Just for clarity, are we allowed to say that we enjoy playing vanilla on a daily basis if we don't mention that we're doing so on a private server?

If you want to make a point to compare how something was in classic, feel free. If you're just going to talk about your experiences on a server now, no, that's not going to be allowed. We're not here for people to discuss private servers.

So do the pro-legacy crowd. Please don't be dishonest and try to claim the vitriol comes solely from the anti-legacy side of the discussion. You know well enough it comes from both sides in basically equal amounts.

I get that, but experiences I had a few hours ago might be more valid than experiences I had 12 years ago. If no advertisement of a certain server are made or even of private servers in general should such a statement need to be moderated? For example I could say "yesterday my guild finally managed to kill Kel'thuzad in the original Naxxramas, it felt great!".

Replied in private messages, let's stay on topic, please.

Kel'thuzad in a rough approximation, emulated, knock off Naxxramas***

It was new. It was 2004.

Well in that case....no.

Yeah my guild never got to Kel'thuzad back in vanilla so I wouldn't know. I think we managed to down 6 bosses if I remember correctly. I've never killed him in the original Naxxramas, it still stings a little

Unfortunate.
Game moved on, so should you.

Nah it's okay. One day I'll get there, when Blizzard releases their official legacy servers

This reminds me when Towellie was trying to convince his viewers that he started playing in vanilla by showing old pics with bad resolution and saying some random tings that was common knowledge back then only to be roasted by multiple people who said he picked up those images from a famous vanilla screenshot site and that he ebayed his first account back in early wotlk

Wouldnt be suprised if he is the same guy. Type of text and the "im going to counter opinions" attitude.

Considering his current account here is freshly made and has barely any posts its 100% him, my guess is his main account got banned for too much shitposting and raging.

^^^^ there is alot of private server players who said even if blizz made legacy servers they would still play private servers, because they dont want to support blizz, dont wanna pay money, or think blizz will fuck it up, or dont wanna start fresh AGAIN

How amusing. People said this about players they were trying to "argue" against in WoTLK, too. 'Cos we all know that anyone that even touched the game in Vanilla is superior, right?

There are more older players than newer players. WoW's biggest issue is that it doesn't attract new players to the game in decent numbers anymore.

where do you get this fact. and how much do you consider "older players" people pre wrath? pre mop?

Well, considering that the achievs check out, why would it be false? You can armory the character.

Lol, the way you pro legacy babies report things, I'm surprised everyone that isn't a nostalgia tard isn't banned

But yeah try to ignore the concrete proof like you dishonest lot usually do. It's amusing to see how much you lie to yourselves to give your "point" any kind of validity.

Blizzard disagrees with you then, they revealed Wotlk only saw 5% increase in sub numbers which meant alot of old players were quitting while alot of new players were joining replacing the old playerbase, one can only assume same thing happened in following expansions. WoW's biggest issue right now is developer team full of idiots who dont even play or understand WoW and use a tablet instead of mouse.

Your proof is same as Towellie's, also i am not pro-legacy, you need to calm down your triggered self and stop attacking everyone who doesnt glorify current poor state of the game.

Compared to the classic devs that left 1 spec playable for each class.
