I'll just repost this from another thread-
"So I remember being perfectly happy to farm MC in Vanilla to get T1 and feel like a badass for having killed Nefarian once (lol). And I'd inspect all the players with AQ40/Naxx gear and be envious, but still happy overall with the game. Now people can't even tolerate a number being higher, let alone lower players generally not having access to cool looking gear in Vanilla, whereas now even if you're in quest greens you can look pretty cool thanks to old content and transmog. And yes, I remember being mad that the Tauren hunter in T2 could easily beat me in PVP, but that wasn't THE reason that I quit back then.
Is this just an overall cultural shift in both WoW and IRL that people whine for equality rather than saying, "Yes, that is a nice Mercedes, and I am just thankful for what I have" or am I some sort of weirdo for having had these attitudes back then, let alone now?"
Honestly if you simply cannot enjoy the current game at all due to inequality then I don't know how you ever enjoyed the game. Like @
Frozenbro's statement- there was, is and always will be gear and skill gaps. Even if the game were simplified to the point that all you did was press 1 button to DPS, there would be top parsers who press that button more often than Johhny B Bad who presses it half as much. You dislike something so much, it's either time to step up your game or quit like I did early Legion. Being without WoW is not going to end you.
