So hey guys, maybe a bit of an odd thread, but now that Im almost level 60, I figured id just wanna hear other peoples opinion on this. You know things that surprised me and whatnot.
1. I did not remember us being this weak - I knew combat would be slower, but it does not seem to matter if you're fully epic geared, you still struggle in 5 mans. Unless the hole group is BIS geared, it just goes slow. The other day I tanked LBRS at 56, with a semi-epic geared restro shaman, figured it would be easy, but no...Still many breaks, snooze fest.
2. Next point to that is gear - Im surprised how little gear matters. Now I dont want it like on retail where people in BIS gear from last patch can't even do damage, but today I did a MC attune quest, our tank was a BIS furyprot warrior with even thunderfury - Like...hes the shit then you would think, but even my admittedly good geared arms DPS keept up with him on meters. I understand hes tanking, and not DPSing, but gear should matter more...I know using devilsaur, black dragonscale set, lionheart helm etc before level 60 is not very common, but...I was thinking he would carry us so hard I would be bored, like when you see that 1 amazing tank in heirlooms or w/e on retail being insane when lvling...You know what I mean.
3. There are a lot of outright broken and silly things - Going back to the furyprot warrior above; Why does procs pull mobs (We wiped once, nearly twice due to this thunderfury)? Why does aggro range pull mobs below the floors? There are so many silly things that should had been fixed.
4. A lot of abilities dont fill a role or its needlessly clunky to use effectively. I would for instance love if one could use Thunderclap in defensive stance. Some of these things just dont know sense, like slam. Im sure you have abilities that also dont make sense.
5. Gold struggle aint even a thing. When I first started on classic probly 2-3 months after it had launched I went to Thunderbluff and already saw many on epic mount. People were geared out and done pretty much as well. But the gold especially suprised me. I remember back in vanilla on my high pop realm back then, the prices were so much less, than what they are now. A flask cost 180g or some, arcanite bar 80g...Like these prices are insane, which leads me to think everyone has to much gold - Which I also quickly saw in my self. Granted im an AH player, so I just do my thing, but making like 4000-5000g before im level 60 is kinda silly. The inflation is stupid, and I dont understand how...1 example is devilsaur set, I remember making them on my druid in vanilla for 25-30g, and now they are always 75-100g etc.
6. Leveling I somewhat thought would be worse. Yes it sucks, I hate lvling, and classic lvling is even more aids with awful quests, but its not as bad as I thought it would be.
7. Classic seems to have attract people that have never played video games, or wow before. I have seen some good players, but I have also seen some outright...Look, I dont wanna be negative, but damn...If you think retail is bad, I dont even wanna hear you. I can jump right now into LFG, do my weekly freehold 15 meme and be done.
So I'll end it there, could probly think of more, but yea...
