    Some people like achievements. This does not make them trolls.

    If it’s a vanilla experience then there are no achievements to get.

    Your mistake is that you look at those bosses and compare it with what we have now but its been 12 years and times have changed if everyone had the knowledge and skill they have now and used it back then everyone would have steamrolled through BWL but they didnt /facepalm.

    Also look at my quote it sums up my whole answer.

    And Blizzard has said they plan on recreating the classic wow experience...for good and for bad. Achievements were not a part of the classic wow experience.

    Besides the point we dont even know if blizz will add a achievement system to classic coz originaly there wasnt one, you didnt need to run ZG to clear MC coz it wasnt that hard only thing you realy needed was for your tanks to get fire resistance gear for tanking which you had to craft, we stopped running ZG after a while and eventho some bosses might still drop a good item (i remember all paladins wanted the mace from Jin'do) it wasnt worth it.

    Achievements literally have little impact on a vanilla experience. It's simply recognition of completing a goal. It could add world content too. Like kill everytype of critter in the game. It could give people something to do and more reason to log in. Get real. It literally doesn't effect the vanilla gameplay to have achievements.

    Then you literally do not need it.

    That's true, but if they represent a development cost, I would not vouch for them over something else. If I had to take a modern gameplay-unrelated UI feature (I don't really want that kind of change anyway, but let's say I had to) I would rather take the Calendar or the little alarm clock feature.

    The calender is a good feature that should be in classic too. It could help people organize pug raids on their servers since there is no cross realm acitivites.

    I really wouldn't mind achieves being added into classic in an ideal world,

    The problem though, if you add curve or even just achis for clearing molten core it will change the 'vanilla experience' we will have people who have power level'd through with their guilds or friends and cleared molten core very really quickly then wanting pugs to have the same. Same as we've got in retail - legit yesterday saw people wanting the normal achis for the burning throne because they'd done it on their main and now wanted to do it on a alt. And to me, in vanilla that would be wrong

    So the compromise I'd suggest is, have the achi but have it appear on your BFA account, so you can show off you've done it but hopefully it won't effect the classic side.

    I actually don't care that much...I'm just telling you that Blizzard plans on keeping Classic as close to Vanilla as possible. Achievements were not in Vanilla WoW.

    That person wanted a run as smooth and quick as possible looking for achievement. Who cares? It is what it is.

    This post is complete nonsense. You clearly never raided during Vanilla and are just making things up.

    I think he means without achievements that person would have to gather information via an other way, like possibly gathering information through contacts. Giving maybe more value to guilds because you somehow assume you know them better. Achievements are more efficient, but maybe not better for that. A lot of them just add fun things to do, but maybe it's one of their trade-offs.
    But this is all speculation, maybe it would not happen. Willing to take the risk ?

    Agreed, it's almost embarrassing to read. LFR Kil'Jaeden harder than Twin Emps? Mmk. Everyone in Vanilla just happened to be retarded, for no real reason, and over the years, everyone including new people to the game magically became exponentially more skilled because reasons and therefore would have no problems at all.

    Pro-tip, Zensunni - boss abilities andmechanics alone weren't what made later Vanilla raids hard. You seem to have a very short memory.

    Well if there's not achievements I'm sure classic wow armory pages will show your progress like they do for retail.

    Group finder and achievements in Vanilla?

    How about, no.

    Give us a chance to enjoy the content the way it was before you kids go demanding all the modern shit.

    It's nonsense for week 1, and your response is exactly why achievements need to stay out of classic.

    Hopefully classic armory pages are modernized to vet people before raiding with them if there's no achieves. Why take a noob who hasn't cleared over a veteran with a few kills. Am I right? Modern armory pages show kill counts aswell.
