    We, the true average wow player, were not impatient kids and read the quests patiently.

    Thank you for posting that. Sorry, the lack of "markers" didn't make vanilla questing difficult, especially for those of us coming from older MMOs like DAOC and the like.

    You know what made it hard? The fact that you were a kid that didn't want to read the quest text. The rest of us were more patient and just read the text that literally told you where to go. The game came with a built in compass + map. You didn't really have to work hard compared to older MMO's which lacked even those basics.

    I understand the window has shifted in the last 15 years, and now all the shiny outlines, and flashing arrows and pulsing icons on the map are the norm. But that doesn't mean that without those things it was "hard"... cmon now.

    Ganking is the whole point of classic wow...

    If you were clueless perhaps. Nowadays we have wowhead and addons that will make leveling alot easier and faster.

    I mean if you have played/followed any private server you'd know that leveling hardly takes anytime these days in vanilla and even less when people reach lvl60 and start boosting for gold.

    leveling was not a big part of vanilla, it just took a buch of time for first timers. It takes maybe 8 days of played time if youre going at a moderate pace to reach level cap. Then you get to farm gear for a raid tier and then respec and farm new gear for the next raid tier. Farm Ekos, farm res gear, farm mats for pots ect ect

    You realise that 8 days played is 192 hours? Looking at the current releases, RDD2 clocks in at 67.5 hours and AssCreed: Odyssey at 99.3 hours and those games are large sandboxes.

    How can you say with a straight face that 8 days of /played is not a big part?

    I mean, when vanilla ended my main at the time was at 50-80 days played so 1/8th to 10th isn't really that much time, all things considered

    Leveling requires you to progress, to actually do something, amount of time you spent AFKing doesn't count in leveling, because you've got no experience doing that. And sitting around and waiting is how you spend most of your time in vanilla at 60.

    So, all things considered - 8 days of /played time IS a big part. It's almost 200 hours of you sitting in front of a monitor pressing buttons and playing the game, compared to spamming "LFM, BRD NO ROGUES" in orgrimmar for an hour, while watching TV or something.

    You do realise that 8 days played is almost 200 hours right?

    So if someone is ONLY able to play 20 hours a week (about 3 hours a day) they will take about 10 weeks to get there.

    Just an example.

    Now that we have defined what a millennial is... I just wanted to say that I was born in 1987, so that make me a millennial and when WoW came out in 2004, I played the shit out of it, up to AQ40/Nax40. And I think that 90%+ of the WoW population are millennial.

    Sitting in ironforge was probably how *you* spent your time at 60, sure. Just like now, I play with a lively roster of friends and I pretty much have no downtime.
    So yeah, it wasn't that much time.

    I'm fine with it. Leveling was painful but so rewarding in Vanilla. I didn't even understand what raiding was when I hit 60. I was just thrilled that I was finally at the level cap and winning the game!

    It's important to people who had never played MMOs before, and, to be frank, they're the majority, but to many of us who came from other MMOs, e.g., neocron (me), eq, daoc, levelling was irrelevant for the most part because we knew that the real fun started at max level when we finally had access to everything, being able to do said "everything" was a different topic

    And there's plenty of asocial and antisocial people back in classic who never talked to others, if your only goal was to quest, you could easily survive w/o ever communicating, plenty of people did so. When it comes to doing group quests, I'd seen plenty of people who either quietly waited till more people showed up for minutes/hours, or ignored group content altogether till they could do it themselves by outlevelling it on purpose.

    Cant wait for the leveling in classic. Its actually one of the things im looking most forward to. The max lvl is the same as retail. Do dungeons, do raids & Bgs.

    But the leveling? it takes place in the old azeroth! How it was before cataclysm! its been years since I traveled in the old world.

    It will be great! Max lvl content is long down the road.

    I remember back in classic/BC we were often pushed into having to group up for certain stuff. It was often more "I must group up to do it", than "Oh yeah, lets group up for this, it will be fun to meet someone else!"

    Can be debated if its good or not "forcing" people to group up in order to complete content. Personally I dont mind it. I like the idea of needing your other adventurers to complete certain tasks. Its more than just you, but theres a "us".

    Thats how it is with raids and dungeons, so why not in the outdoor world?

    Depends what you mean with ganking.

    World pvp between same level/gear/numbers power? Yes, absolutely.
    World pvp between high levels and low level characters? Absolutely NOT!
