"Bring the class, not the player" Which of course sucked sometimes but it was cool to have different advantages in instances depending on the classes you had with you.
Now everyone can buff everything... there is just less class diversity
Harder solo content. Seriosly even a blind person could level to 85... it is just trivial, you never die, there is no challange in leveling a character, there is no challange in doing dungeons,
In vanilla there were elite quests; you had to READ the quest log, not accept quest, press m, run there loot this do that.
Cataclysm should have revived the old world but it did the opposite... the old world is dead. Everyone is sitting in Og/sw. Wanna do a dungeon? Np click this, get invited, wanna do PvP? np click this get invited? wanna do a raid? np click this get invited? wanna go to a high lvl zone? np click this get ported.
In Classic you had to use ships now you click somewhere and you are there. There is no world PvP nowadays. There is no zone high level players need to go for some reason. There is no Tyr's hand anymore. And even if there was people now have flying mounts and can easily avoid PvP combat. PvP servers are a farce.
There are many points why classic was better in my opinion. Not because the quest designs were better, they weren't. Not because it was more complex and more balanced because it wasn't.
It just wasn't this "gaming fastfood" it is nowadays and when they say they wanna make Dungeons in MoP like they were in wotlk I ask myself what the fuck is going on lol
