World First Ragnaros and Onyxia Kill on Classic by APES - Gehennas EU

[Frozenbro]

Yes because wow should be an esport, exactly what the mmo community needs!
Classic isn't about competition it's about rivalry & community and that's what closed realms have.

The only competition retail has is gear boundaries. The bosses are literally tuned to the T from a numbers perspective.
The retail mentality is just "race to be the first to down this mythic raid because it's a competition to progress" then rinse and repeat. Pretty boring if you ask me.

The Classic mentality is about enjoying an mmo in a world that you can escape in for hours on end. Something retail will never have again.

In all seriousness, it's RPG vs eSport or better yet, RPG vs Casino.

Thats just your illusion cause you are still lvling, which i agree adds to the rpg feel, but endgame? its gonna be the same as retail, ilvl is already there, logs are being used https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/ so expect to be dissapointed, its time to remove your vanilla glasses and realize this is classic.

Unfortunately, lvl 60 for me is very organized pvp raids in between very organized pve raids.
It's going to be an absolute blast, just like pservers.

I can spend hours on end world pvping where as I sign into retail, do a bg or arena and want to hang myself due to the repetitiveness.

Wasnt this a pve thing? cause i pointed out that classic pve is gonna be as elitist as retail pve, pvp ofc its diff, retail has nonexistant world pvp while in classic world pvp is one of the selling points, anyone that doesnt realize this is blind tbh, so i agree with you there, classic for the world pvp makes complete sense.

Yes end game raids in classic are very boring, especially MC & Ony being faceroll.
I agree with you there.

AQ & Naxx are very fun though and most likely less then 10% of the player base will even step foot into Naxx.

For me, I'm all about the open world and enjoying the server community. Something that hasn't been around since Vanilla in pretty much any game.

If APES wanted to they could get World First Kills in retail.

What the fuck are you even talking about? They wouldn't be able to get top20, let alone world first with which there is a colossal difference in. A majority of these guys are not world class players, they're classic enthusiasts.

PVE isn't hard my friend, no matter if it's retail or classic.
PVP is where it's at and PVE is just a walk in the park for any skilled PVP player.

APES would roll over World First content if they wanted to.

There is no such thing as "world first content".PvP and PvE are two different games with two different skillsets. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about yet you spew an incessantly large amount of garbage onto this forum. Also, I'm not your friend. I would never befriend such a fucking tool.

lmao, i got glad in the first season, WoW's PvP has never been hard or skillful because the game has never been balanced.
that's why no one ever gave a shit about it.

.

Only, that's exactly what the vast majority does when they play Retail, what with only a small percentage ever playing at a level that requires organized teams. There are stories every week of players using retail as a means of escape, as medicine for the soul, as a way of meeting others without feeling social anxiety etc. Yet there are delusional people like you out there spewing shit that's not anchored in any sort of fact.

Your bias doesn't alter reality. And APES being able to easily take world firsts on live is laughable at best. They got world second first against content they've repeated hundreds of times upon entering the raid, against raid mechanics below LFR in complexity with classes that you can optimize by pressing 2 buttons.

It's not about "they're too smart to do it", it's about them not being able to, not wanting to, and thus not trying. Unlike all the guilds attempting World First every new tier.

Truth.

It's pretty clear he has no grasp nor experience from anything he's trying to paint as easy. The whole "I play Classic cuz Retail's too repetitive!!"-line alone is just laughable in its complete lack of logical reasoning. Feels before reals-sort of thing. Tbf, most of the Classic zealots tend to adhere to that crap.

Uh... what? I get that you think retail sucks, and it has severe problems, but this is one "problem" WoW has never really had. It's easier to waste hours in retail than classic, even, because there are more things you can get roped into doing that take hours and hours... and you can do them all over again every day.

I think your unbridled hatred of modern world of warcraft has blown over into making stuff up to try and support your case. It's not necessary. Most people are already aware BFA is pretty boring right now and needs serious help. I am not even going to attempt explaining that your experience is not identical to everyone else's, because that would probably blow your mind.

The simple fact is that classic appeals to players that want to play classic, and "retail" appeals to people who want to play modern WoW. The crazy thing is that there are a lot of people who are playing both, and many, many more who are playing neither.

Personally I loved WotLK and TBC; classic was just tedious, and I don't really miss it. I am likewise bored with "retail" and don't plan on coming back unless there are significant changes. Neither form of WoW interests me right now, but I'd be more likely to try classic for a month or two than get back into Battle for Azeroth. It would be closer to being fun for me than BFA, which is grinding for the sake of grinding, as opposed to classic where everything is just feeling needlessly tedious, but at least is about playing the game for the sake of playing it.

Just my two copper, not that it's going to matter much here.

Besides Queen of REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE still seething because of classic, APES beating Method(with the bonus of humiliating PreachGaming) and even this thread, is there ANY reason to keep this thread open?

its literally a minefield of reports and inflated egos at this rate.

Or maybe, just maybe... Ppl sucked during vanilla. Vanilla is easy compared to todays standards and I am pretty sure they could have done this if we had the old talents system, sure a few more wipes maybe but there are also like 3 days left to farm the gear and lvl up.

People didn't suck in Vanilla, they were some of if not the best players ever to play the game. They just didn't have any information to go off of and most were doing these raids with nearly zero addons, no Big Wigs, and not even a threat meter at first. Try doing Lucifron without any addons and never had read a guide on how to do it. It took a long time for Landsoul to develop his spreadsheet. Not that someone like you knows who Landsoul was. Elitist jerks was the first site that you could actually trust and developed the first real guides that were solid. You're basically saying Leonardo da Vinci was a moron because some high school kid with a computer has more information at his fingertips in today's world. You're just another bloke trying to puff himself up as something great by trashing those that did the heavy lifting so that you could have it easy with all that information now at your fingertips.
