Weirdest things on WoW Vanilla

[TheRevenantHero]

And without the group, the skinner wouldn't have been able to skin that dog you just killed. The miner wouldn't have been able to get to that ore at the end of the dungeon. The tank wouldn't have been able to kill that boss that dropped the shield he needed on.

Should we roll on what the skinner skinned? The miner mined? The herbalist herbed? The shield that dropped that I can get gold for?

It's all similar. Rogue can unlock the chest, you can't. Sounds like it's the Rogues. The skinner can skin, and you can't. It's the Skinners. Tank can equip the shield (And will), so it's the tanks.

Any rogue that takes everything in the chest without sharing with the group deserves to be blacklisted and branded a ninja looter on a server. But unfortunately, unlike what most people claim, there is no fucking community like that in Classic.

Not starting this thread as a topic to actual discuss or insulting classic in anyway, but instead, to give you some entertainment watching it.

Have fun!

Thank you for this video. I got quite a bit of nostalgia out of it. I play a druid and so when classic was out I pulled up the talent tree caluclator and looked at the trees, and remembered how bad it was. Like the +damage in forms talent being in the balance tree blocked by something completely useless for feral. Other fun things for other classes is the bonus crit chance for backstab being deep in combat. So yeah. Half of talenting in vanilla WoW was finding the least sucky things to waste talent points in to get to the stuff you actually wanted.

Have you considered that community DOES exist, they just disagree with your stance?

*GASP*

Also, NO ONE claims that community exists in Classic; we claimed it *existed* in Vanilla. This isn't Vanilla.

I mean, if the rogue wasn't there you wouldn't get the chests at all so I'd say its fair to let them have first pick of the contents.

And if the group wasn't there the Rogue wouldn't get the chest at all either, this goes both ways, we all know the Rogue isn't able to solo the 4 mobs standing within agro range of the chest.

Lockpicking is a perk that Rogues bring to the group, like Mages making food and water, and Warlocks making healthstones/soulstones/summoning lazy people.

Ah ok so rogues are permitted to be absolute shitheads with no repercussions. Just further showing me that Classic really isn't worth playing anymore and even if I do play, NEVER group with a rogue.

do you roll on herb or mining nodes as a group as well? because im pretty sure you don't

if there are 2 or more miners in a group they roll between each other, if there are 2 or more rogues or engineer/bs they roll between each other for the chest
if there is one person that can use given node than there is no roll

quite simple

[shaunika123]

The belt that shouldn't even be in the game until phase 5 but Blizzard are more lazy than a bunch of bedroom developers? Count yourself lucky it exists I guess.

I mean it's hardly my fault it is in. and isnt the point at all.

Well, sure Rogues are shitheads, but so are the Herbalists, Skinners, Miners, Tanks, healers, DPS, Mages, Shamans... Etc. By your definition.

[Gjin]

Yeah, I'm not at all on the same page as you on this one bud.

Ye it was like that before, nothing has changed for last 15 years, ppls just dont get their roles

I used to love being an annoying rogue to be quite fair. Shitheads rogues from old version of the game aka old expansions, was the best.
I remember when i played my rogue in cata the most, and everytime they said to me rogues are so fucking annoying, i would receive that as a compliment xD lol (never had a rogue in vanilla tho)

Lockpicking isn't a profession, it's part of our class.

bs and engi are professions

[ONCHEhap]

No, the weirdest thing in vanilla/classic is people expecting you to not need on upgrades because they are BiS for someone else that you never seen before. (In PuG's)

you mean people expecting others to not be assholes?

Tbh, I never saw lockpicking and professions on the same level that way. Usually, a mining node gives the miner things to use in their profession. Same for the skinner and the herbalist. These items are of no direct use for the other group members in most cases. If I am not an alchemist, I do not care about the flowers you pick. Thus only those who have a need for the items can "unlock" them, i.e. harvest the nodes, so there is little issue.
Chests on the other hand have the same loot table as the mobs around them. As such, someone in the group might need it but would not be able to unlock it. Meanwhile, the person who unlocks it might not need it. That is the core issue in play and the group has to resolve it according to the set loot rules. If you agree to need before greed then that should apply to chests too. The rogue can have the currency inside and the food or whatever as compensation for raising the skill, but why shouldn't the usable items be distributed like any other?

So assholes are those who refuse to pass on items you want despite these items being an upgrade for them too. Gotcha.

This kid, who obviously plays a rogue is right. I main a 60 mage, and If it wasn't for him/rogues we wouldn't even be able to get those locked chests open, so they should be allowed to have first pick of the contents it's 100% fair.




IN LIGHT OF THIS! I have decided that every rogue I now play with in UBRS(AND THERE'S A LOT!!) I will roll against on Dal'rend swords,If the mages weren't there to do all the aoe/dmg.... that rogue would of never even got to rend anyways, so I/mages should get first pick of the contents.
Other mages leveling up in dngs should do the same, you want that snazzy cool looking sword or dagger? hey man...you did all the work, first picks on you buddy!

Let the double standard roar

Skinning gives material for Leatherworking, which the Skinner doesn't have to be and someone in the group could be. The same is true of both other professions (Mining --> Blacksmithing, Herbalism --> Alchemy).

The materials benefits another profession; the person may or may not benefit from that. What the Rogue gets out of a chest he may or may not benefit from.

Of course, if there's a Blacksmith in the group and has Skeleton keys, the Rogue and BS should be rolling. And the winner gets to unlock and keep the contents.

[Dead Moose Fandango]

Classic topics seem to drive me to want to drink away the stupid more than retail has for a good many years. I find that pretty weird.

Also. If you're the only one with the key to UBRS in group, does that mean you get every piece of loot dropped? I mean, without you, no one could be doing the dungeon in the first place.

[Annelie]

Yes, dont be an asshole when someone gets an upgrade. But aparantly that is a big problem for people.

FYI Lock player. Not Rogue.
