pur-lease
the only reason ppl put up with walking around for 50-ish lvls before they could afford a 60% mount was because we didnt know anything else, also the only reason world pvp was good back then was because of good server communities, WoW doesnt have good server communities anymore
and running halfway across a zone so you can res was NOT fun, and guards are easy as shit to kill these days (the elite guards near leaders have the same HP as mobs in the dread waste/vale to put things in perspective)
