How to know if someone played vanilla!

[Deleted]

When as a warlock on level 20 you had to journey to Thousand Needles to finish your voidwalker quest. For alliance lock that was quite epic adventure.

[lolo855]

and you needed to enchant a special set of gloves for skinning as it required skinning higher than max.

If I remember correctly you needed the finkle skinner that dropped from him, with +10 skinning, I don't think the gloves (+5) If I remember correctly, where enough.

How you know people didn't play Vanilla.

When OP responds "Alliance did have the Ice Lord!" when Lok was the horde summon, the tree dude was alliance. And each time they killed someone, they got stronger. Just an FYI
Also, to who said you grinding "5-6 weeks of your life for R14" you grinding more than that, and had to earn your way to the "A team, B Team, C Team" as well as "no one under this rank is with this group, and you cannot go over this amount of honor or else it will mess up his weekly gain for HWL / GM"

You also played vanilla if you:
-rarely EVER took your 31 point talent.
-Totems were group only, so make sure you got a shaman in Group 1 aka tank group with the warlock for his imp.
-you grinding your ass off for Argent Dawn rep to do Naxx, because arcane crystals were too damn much and a p.i.t.a to get
-You screamed PoM Pyro mages had no skill because it was all luck or they were screwed if they didn't kill you within the 2 seconds they tried to burst you down.
-Ally claimed horde OP cause of shamans, and horde claimed ally was OP cause of Pallys.
-MC'd the mob in Blackrock Spire for the +80-83 Fire Resistance 'Debuff' that actually benefited you.
-Knew the whole Ragnaros speech by heart and still do to this day because you farmed to 190301235123 + times.

When the only reason you rolled an undead priest was due to devouring plague.

You are correct. Finkle's Skinning Knife was required, not the glove enchant.

LFG Jailbreak.

This reminds me of one

ALLIANCE HAS IT EZ BECAUSE WARLORD'S COMMAND WAS HARDER THAN JAILBREAK

caps mandatory

[Hexotic]

Not sure when they took it out, of if shamans still g2 do it, but when you had to do a ridiculous quest chain for each of your totem elements.
and i dont know if people mentioned the obvious one, when mail intel gear dropped for alliance raids.

[Deleted]

When you used two trinkets at the same time to oneshot people.
AP+ToEP+ZHC+PoM Pyro anyone?

[Hexotic]

yeah but too bad you cant display those titles, i have a Sergeant ally title and Lieutenant General horde title, i would love to display them over my new toons.

[zetitup]

You played vanilla when Trade chat was world global

[MrPaladinGuy]

When you did the Paladin Charger chain pre multiple patches which made it significantly easier quest, instance, and class-wise during vanilla, they were welcomed changes though.

You played vanilla if you know you had to pay 1kg for epic riding.

i remember when i finally farmed enough for this. was one of the greatest achievements for me back then. haha!

OT. hunters had quivers that added 15% haste, and were also an ammo bag.

a lot of the other shit i remember was already mentioned tho.

[Xe4ro]

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

I started in early 06 and i'm still around

[Fawxey]

You played vanilla if you enjoyed running on feet until level 40

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