Yet, leveling on classic feels infinitely better then it does on retail. Why is that?
There are a lot of other people around, and you have the power and opportunity to help them out and make their gameplay better. Players are appropriately weak and challenged that healing someone who is in a tight spot or dispensing a buff or some water feels fucking great.
Most of my fun of leveling a lv.19 priest so far has come from healing, buffing or rezzing someone who I came across while leveling. Then it hit me: it has been several years since I've seen anything like this on retail.
Some takeaways for the next expansion, blizz.
