Man what golden days. Unironically some of the best days of my life. Friend flew in from another country to meet with me and my friend and play this almost nonstop for 4 days.
While their remake wasn't as faithful, it was THE BEST time to play WoW, even with all the bullshit and all
Vanilla may be bullshit, unfair and unbalanced, but it was FUN, a goddamn rarity these days
How so, enemies actually require strategies besides just roflstomping everything like retail
Most abilities were more ingrained to the class Mage was still bullshit
Tons and tons of flavor skills
Mini-elite dungeons on the open world, good dungeons
>But what about other game

The way I look at it. If they had a chance to relieve a time in their life they hold dear, except now they know all the best leveling routes, where and how to get the best loot, all the bosses etc.. it's like asking someone if they would go back in time knowing everything they know now. That's my honest guess. Truth is wow came out at a very specific time where we didnt have social media and hanging out online with thousands of people was still novel for the average person.

what makes you think they will change anything? they've already confirmed to have the ability to res your character for a price should you die.

I seriously don't understand why you gays want classic vanilla again, yes it was fun the first time but everyone knows everything, everyone will chase the exact same meta as before, etc etc.. how is that fun?
we also don't want people like you playing the game, even though you say it's terrible and everything is figured out, logically a person like you would frick off and let us have our fun, but you'll play the game too and make it miserable for everyone you come in contact, till we figure out how to get rid of homosexuals like you it's probably a good idea that blizzard never does another wow classic vanilla fresh
It was fun for the first 2 months then everyone left. I got fully MC geared as a resto shaman than quit a week before BWL dropped. My guild leaderwas PISSED. Frick that homosexual

a tiny minority of players buy gold illegally? therefore the entire game should be destroyed for everyone
yep, this is the average IQ of a blizz consumer in 2023
it really is a mystery as to why the ORIGINAL wow failed so hard that they had to create classic as a response to that
and not only did they create classic
but they managed to manipulate the absolute losers that still pay for wow blizzslop in 2023 to be convinced TO DO IT A FRICKING SECOND TIME
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
more proof that you zooms did NOT get even 1/10th of the joy and excitement as us, the people who played the OG game.
You played a pale imitation filled with zoomer morons.
I remember playing OG Vanilla and going into TBC and gold buying was only really a problem in TBC a month or two in, think it was mainly because how shitty the expansion was, I'm sure there was gold buying in OG Vanilla but it was never as widespread as it got really out of control in OG TBC. I think because the homosexual arena culture didn't want to play any part of the game other than arena lol fricking cancer culture
I mean, people DID do it, but if you were caught people treated you like a leper. People seethed at the bots and camped them for days, and if you ever made the zoom excuses you're seeing on the Classic sub or here you'd have been laughed at until you quit.
These homosexuals are not only outright defending buying Chang's gold, they're trying to tell us it's a GOOD thing
If you think a "tiny minority" of players in Classic WoW have ever traded real money for gold you are beyond delusional.
People in EVERY guild I joined were quite open about purchasing gold, I would say easily 25% of the classic WoW playerbase had purchased gold at least once.
How do I know for sure?
Look at the amount of fricking bots, do you think these guys do it for free? As long as there's a huge demand for gold, bots will continue to run rampant because this is LITERALLY PAYING SOME CHINK'S MORTGAGE IN HIS SHITHOLE COUNTRY.
What a wild leap to say this "destroys the entire game for everyone".
Obviously WoW token is dogshit but you are beyond delusional if you think it was fricking WoW token that dug WoW's grave.
you're either lying through your teeth or are completely moronic
I literally did not see a single person in a raiding guild I was in talk once about buying gold. I did however see a shitload of people farming for gold in the open world
you're seeing classic through the lens of a coping, gold buying autist tryhard homosexual who probably joined a guild full of people like him (who are still a minority) and then projecting that onto everyone else and then using that as justification to implement a token into wow
you talk about being comfy on hardcore era realms? nah, I bet you're a homosexual there too, probably watching twitch streams 24/7 and using a bunch of other shit that wasn't available back then and then justifying blizz to frick the game up even further for profit
or maybe you don't even do that, you're just some homosexual larper or person who plays live realms who hated classic always
you spend all your time posting furhomosexual shit so seems its the latter
Whelp, I guess your anecdotal evidence differs from mine.
I joined many guilds through Trade Chat or friends and all of them were filled to the brim with gold buyers and tryhards.
I don't need to justify implementing WoW token because I no longer play classic WotLK and it does not affect me at all.
Really shows how much of a fricking loser you are by somehow thinking I can be a "homosexual" in how I play classic hardcore? It's just some solo challenge where I chill and level through old world content and quest. Explain to me how you homosexual that up?
I don't think Blizzard is innocent in any of this but I am so sick of the dogshit classic community, who somehow made their version of the game even more pay2win than fricking RETAIL, b***h and moan about blizzard being this fricking boogeyman when they themselves ruined their game.
>It's just some solo challenge where I chill and level through old world content and quest.
in 40 years, Ganker is going to be those grandpas who never leave their room and only playing 50+ year old games only they know and care about from their childhood, just like those grandpas who sat alone every day watching old 50s westerns

The DK bots I 100% agree with but coming back for the Ulduar release I didn't actually see that many GDKP runs. I had no issue clearing 1-light with just a random group I found in trade chat late one night.
Shame ToC is the worst fricking raid in the game, I really wanted to clear Icecrown this time around but I ain't sitting through months of standing in 1 room with no trash again.
>wanted to recapture that feeling of playing WoW for the first time >Decide to run a WoWRPG tabletop game on Roll20, using some modified D&D 5E rules >Actually get a decent sized group with little issue, even if one of them is a troony >Everyone seems excited to play, cook up a campaign around the Shadow Council trying to regain control of the Horde using subterfuge and false-flag attacks throughout Kalimdor >Play one session, basic first-session stuff, introduce some plot hooks >Second session, the troony can't make it so play without him (>her), everyone again seems to have a fun time >Week or two go by, troony says they don't like the system and quits, instantly everyone else follows suit
Feels bad man.
Most people don't understand that Classic WoW Vanilla is a pretty big game and there's many people like me that have only played a few characters. I've only played a male dwarf rogue, a troll priest and in 2019 classic a female undead warrior and in SoM a female dwarf hunter. There's still a lot of stuff in the game I could explore, I'm not a powergamer like some of you freaks that play every pserver and have all their mods mapped out months before release. A lot of you guys should get a clue and frick off and stop malding so much over what people want to play, I can't believe this homosexual culture of whiners has developed to such a degree that you think it's ok to gatekeep what I would like to be playing, can't you homosexuals see how fricking gross you are lol
This right here killed it. Minmaxxing was always a thing, parsing is fricking gay with how some people take it seriously but knowing how you're doing is a good reason to know a parse
Blizzard doing nothing about the bots farming gold and letting this shit infect raiding with GDKP kills it for anyone who isn't hardcore poopsocking and asskissing for raid positions and loot. It's SOOOOO good that Blizzard finally came mask off by including the WoW Token for WOTLK so they can double penetrate people for gold for loot
People should probably realize you're not talking to actual players that want to play the game anymore, you're talking to fat loser men, mostly chinks and shitskins that run bot farms in wow and want to keep this corpse of a franchise alive as long as possible so they can keep their lights on in their bughut and favela shitholes
>all that is left is RMTing GDKP running parse trannies
KEK a hell of their own creation. Honestly, I hope they stay there forever. WoW has always been a filter and containment MMO, and with how troonydragon has weakening the containment field I am scared for all of the other online games out there should it break.
imagine this but with bloated 40 year old WoW trannies
>being nostalgic over rerelease of 20 year old game that ruined video games forever

so do OSRS/RS players. and EVE players.
>but OTHER GAME
I don't recall EVE re-releasing an old version of the game with cashshop features jammed in after the fact.
True, I guess that was just OSRS.
That said, RS, OSRS, and EVE all have their own identical versions of the WoW token. I still can't figure out why people think I should care.
>But what about other game
You know when someone is coping hard when they pull the "but other game does it" out of their ass.

the simple fact that you had to pirate the client gatekept the undesirables

Cant wait to buy Shadowmourne and have no risk of being banned now. Although Blizzard hardly does frick all to ban bots and RMT anyways.

it's more that you're too dumb to articulate why you think it's a problem. you're just nebulously mad about something that's totally optional to engage in.
It's literally the anti-token spastics that aren't listening to reason, though. It's actually hilarious how often they get cornered and revert to screeching insults like middle schoolers.
you cattle deserve everything blizzard does to you
best inn song coming through
what's your favourite one Ganker?
>nostalgia homosexuals think classic was good
>they have never experience classic private servers in their prime
I pity you, I really do.
I've been playing private servers on and off since 2008. They're overwhelmingly dogshit.
Classic felt so much smoother to play it's like playing a different game compared to pservers.
We're getting fresh classic soon but with tokens, transmog and pronouns
the troons were dabbling in the game since the beginning so now it's funny to see the morons get what they deserve
this is even funnier in retrospect when the patch this happened in was called Chains of Domination and was focused around domination magic
>have lots of money
>the idea of just buying a Shadowmourn and dabbing on poorgays is appealing
>but I don't want to give Blizzard money
>could give Chang money but I'll bet they suddenly MAGICALLY start policing gold sellers lel
>play for a week and a half
>get to level 42
>completely burn out because of house primitive the gameplay is
>realise the solution to every problem is to spend more time
actual trash
It didn't take long for it to be ruined by boosters, bots and homosexuals otherwise optimising the fun out of the game
>getting nostalgic about a re-release
no, Ganker, this isn't okay
that's the point of re-releases.
>re-nostalgia
>Played vanilla back in the day
>Skipped Classic release
>Just started playing Classic about a month ago with my friend and brother
It's pretty comfy playing it right now. Still lots of people running around leveling.
I seriously don't understand why you gays want classic vanilla again, yes it was fun the first time but everyone knows everything, everyone will chase the exact same meta as before, etc etc.. how is that fun?
we also don't want people like you playing the game, even though you say it's terrible and everything is figured out, logically a person like you would frick off and let us have our fun, but you'll play the game too and make it miserable for everyone you come in contact, till we figure out how to get rid of homosexuals like you it's probably a good idea that blizzard never does another wow classic vanilla fresh
It was fun for the first 2 months then everyone left. I got fully MC geared as a resto shaman than quit a week before BWL dropped. My guild leaderwas PISSED. Frick that homosexual
>Blizzdrones are Stockholming themselves into thinking the token in Classic is good
>ITT defending it
lol
lmao even
case in point. never an argument. straight to the middle school insults.
>"NOOOO I WANT TO KEEP PAYING A MONTHLY FEE TO PLAY A GAME THAT WILL DIE AFTER PHASE FOUR!!1!"
>Missed my chance for comfy fresh leveling on release because I got swept up into the "level to 60 asap and start raiding with a guild" bandwagon along with a couple friends
These threads are blizz paid shills
Seeing alexsensual come back last night and have a good reeee on twitch was amusing
>I DEMAND YOU TELL ME WHY ME EATING AND ROLLING AROUND IN SHIT IS BAD
>hey guys look at this moronic shit eater haha, what a fricking nasty moron
>HEH GUESS YOU HAVE NO ARGUMENT SHIT EATERS WIN AGAIN
lol
lmao even
>YOU HAVE NO ARGUMENT
true, you don't. it's so pathetic lol
what happens when the slippery slope flat out landslides into the ocean? Well, you get shills defending it kek
>WOTLK killed WoW twice
its almost poetic
wrathbabbys are too moronic to comprehend this though
do the anti-token ppl not realize that they''re making themselves look moronic?
this all reminds me of why we used to make fun of wow players here.
>mfw poo poo eaters think they deserve being spoken to like actual human beings instead of the laughstock subhuman filth they are
whatever helps you cope with being too stupid to articulate a coherent position kek
HAHAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Wait wait wait
Are blizz actually putting token in classic? And paycuck goys are defending it?
HahahahHahHHHhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahsshshahahahahahahahahaha
they actually think I'm going to 'debate' them instead of just laughing my ass off at how Blizzdrones have no floor; they can always fall lower
Haha, I don't expect you to debate me. Stupid people always flee like cowards the moment they experience any pushback.
>yum yum blizzard shit in my mouth yummy yummy please Bobby, let go another load on me
and just to think we playe for 2 years with that godwaful 400 ms batch window because no chnages
should I play a druid or a paladin on HC?
>prestige
>classic
lmao. they aren't serious, are they?
>died again in HC
Bros... why can't I just stop being moronic?
BLIZZBlack folk DEFENDING KEKTOKENS IN THE ONE VERSION MEANT TO BE PROTECTED FROM THEM HAHAHAHAAHHBSAHSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH IS THERE A DEPTH THESE Black folk CANT SINK TO? IS THERE LITERALLY A BRAND OF SHIT THESE Black folk WONT LAP UP
HAHHSHSAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHSHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Haha, I don't expect you *swipes card* to debate me *takes out payday loan to buy more token*. Stupid people *pays GDKP* always flee like cowards *buys Shadowmourn* the moment they experience *still stuck 1400 in arena* any pushback *gets evicted*

>Blizzard releases Classic WoW
>Players immediately start rushing the leveling (80% of phase 1 content) stage of classic, forming spellcleave groups and refusing to invite classes without AoE abilities that are inefficient to do dungeons with.
>Streamers and tryhards alike spend an entire week poopsocking, grinding hours of the most efficient AoE grind dungeon until they reach max level
>Months after release, the only players doing low level dungeons are sitting AFK, alt tabbed while their max level mage in full tier one gear boosts them through Scarlet Monastery for 5g a run
>More time goes by, with the release of Burning Crusade classic nearing, guilds already devise fully geared AoE farming groups to dungeon grind from 60-70 the day Burning Crusade launches
June 1st, 2021
>BC drops, players immediately rush to 70 in their premade dungeon grind groups, clearing all phase 1 raid content within the first 2 weeks of phase 1 dropping
>All raid groups require 6 shamans for bloodlust, as well as a strict raid composition the maximize buff and debuff uptimes, if you're an off-meta class and you're not giving your raidleader blowjobs under the table you will never be brought to raid.
>Players begin boosting their alts through Slavepens and Shadowlabs AoE mage carries for 20g a run
>GDKPs start surfacing, allowing players to spend their hard-earned gold to guarantee themselves the best in slot loot from raids
> RMT and buying gold from 3rd party websites becomes commonplace, at this point players can pay China for thousands of gold, in exchange, they can have their character boosted entirely from 1-70, AND they can receive any gear as priority in their GDKP runs, in which their freshly dinged 70 in greens is brought as a whale to be carried.
> GDKP run carriers get ludicrous gold payouts from the massive amounts of Chinese gold being injected into the economy
>tards think wrath is classic
>tards don't understand that classic is classic and that theres no token in classic, only in wrath
CLASSIC FOREVER BVLLS STAY WINNIN
I've been chilling playing classic hardcore on era realms and having a blast.
I just like highlighting the hypocrisy of the current wrath crybabies who think WoW token of all things is what's tainting their game.
>create terrible strawman
>ignores all of the ways in which hardcore era is moronic in 2023 just to shit on wrath in the same vein
big brained guy
SO BIG UWWWWAAAAA
WE GOT DA BIG BRAIN GUY OVA HEAAAAAA
>having fun playing a game in 2023
keep seething moron 🙂
100% agree with you lol
next time add something about how dungeons were bugged and were giving full xp to 10 man raid groups at classic launch
a tiny minority of players buy gold illegally? therefore the entire game should be destroyed for everyone
yep, this is the average IQ of a blizz consumer in 2023
it really is a mystery as to why the ORIGINAL wow failed so hard that they had to create classic as a response to that
and not only did they create classic
but they managed to manipulate the absolute losers that still pay for wow blizzslop in 2023 to be convinced TO DO IT A FRICKING SECOND TIME
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Buying gold is extremely common in classic
t. bought gold and knows almost no one that played classic that did not buy gold
its extremely common among a minority of morons
it is not extremely common among the majority of people who played it
more proof that you zooms did NOT get even 1/10th of the joy and excitement as us, the people who played the OG game.
You played a pale imitation filled with zoomer morons.
I remember playing OG Vanilla and going into TBC and gold buying was only really a problem in TBC a month or two in, think it was mainly because how shitty the expansion was, I'm sure there was gold buying in OG Vanilla but it was never as widespread as it got really out of control in OG TBC. I think because the homosexual arena culture didn't want to play any part of the game other than arena lol fricking cancer culture
I mean, people DID do it, but if you were caught people treated you like a leper. People seethed at the bots and camped them for days, and if you ever made the zoom excuses you're seeing on the Classic sub or here you'd have been laughed at until you quit.
These homosexuals are not only outright defending buying Chang's gold, they're trying to tell us it's a GOOD thing
lol
lmao even
If you think a "tiny minority" of players in Classic WoW have ever traded real money for gold you are beyond delusional.
People in EVERY guild I joined were quite open about purchasing gold, I would say easily 25% of the classic WoW playerbase had purchased gold at least once.
How do I know for sure?
Look at the amount of fricking bots, do you think these guys do it for free? As long as there's a huge demand for gold, bots will continue to run rampant because this is LITERALLY PAYING SOME CHINK'S MORTGAGE IN HIS SHITHOLE COUNTRY.
What a wild leap to say this "destroys the entire game for everyone".
Obviously WoW token is dogshit but you are beyond delusional if you think it was fricking WoW token that dug WoW's grave.
you're either lying through your teeth or are completely moronic
I literally did not see a single person in a raiding guild I was in talk once about buying gold. I did however see a shitload of people farming for gold in the open world
you're seeing classic through the lens of a coping, gold buying autist tryhard homosexual who probably joined a guild full of people like him (who are still a minority) and then projecting that onto everyone else and then using that as justification to implement a token into wow
you talk about being comfy on hardcore era realms? nah, I bet you're a homosexual there too, probably watching twitch streams 24/7 and using a bunch of other shit that wasn't available back then and then justifying blizz to frick the game up even further for profit
or maybe you don't even do that, you're just some homosexual larper or person who plays live realms who hated classic always
you spend all your time posting furhomosexual shit so seems its the latter
Whelp, I guess your anecdotal evidence differs from mine.
I joined many guilds through Trade Chat or friends and all of them were filled to the brim with gold buyers and tryhards.
I don't need to justify implementing WoW token because I no longer play classic WotLK and it does not affect me at all.
Really shows how much of a fricking loser you are by somehow thinking I can be a "homosexual" in how I play classic hardcore? It's just some solo challenge where I chill and level through old world content and quest. Explain to me how you homosexual that up?
I don't think Blizzard is innocent in any of this but I am so sick of the dogshit classic community, who somehow made their version of the game even more pay2win than fricking RETAIL, b***h and moan about blizzard being this fricking boogeyman when they themselves ruined their game.
Have some fricking introspection.
>It's just some solo challenge where I chill and level through old world content and quest.
in 40 years, Ganker is going to be those grandpas who never leave their room and only playing 50+ year old games only they know and care about from their childhood, just like those grandpas who sat alone every day watching old 50s westerns

>WotLK finally releases
>Once again players flock to mindless dungeon grinding, already feeling burnt out by the time they hit 80 (Players with full Tier 4 or Brutal Gladiator Gear at least, the plebs
with shit gear got to actually enjoy their leveling experience)
>GDKP's erupt, most pugs are just GDKP's and most decent players will just join GDKP's to at least get a decent chink gold payout for their carrying service
>Arena is plagued with scripters, cheaters, and hackers
>BG's are filled to the brim with DK bots to fuel the insatiable whales that keep purchasing all of their gear with RMT gold
>Servers die off left and right, faction imbalances become a huge issue and the only playable realms are megaservers with 99% alliance population or 99% horde population

>Blizzard releases WoW Token
I CANT BELIEVE IT CLASSIC BROS, WE UPHELD THE INTEGRITY OF CLASSIC FOR SO LONG AND BLIZZARD HAD TO COME ALONG AND RUIN EVERYTHING WITH WOW TOKEN! THIS BIG EVIL CORPA CANT
GET AWAY WITH RUINING OUR PRECIOUS GAME LIKE THIS! HOW WILL WE EVER RECOVER BROS?
The DK bots I 100% agree with but coming back for the Ulduar release I didn't actually see that many GDKP runs. I had no issue clearing 1-light with just a random group I found in trade chat late one night.
Shame ToC is the worst fricking raid in the game, I really wanted to clear Icecrown this time around but I ain't sitting through months of standing in 1 room with no trash again.
Take me home bros...
>wanted to recapture that feeling of playing WoW for the first time
>Decide to run a WoWRPG tabletop game on Roll20, using some modified D&D 5E rules

Most people don't understand that Classic WoW Vanilla is a pretty big game and there's many people like me that have only played a few characters. I've only played a male dwarf rogue, a troll priest and in 2019 classic a female undead warrior and in SoM a female dwarf hunter. There's still a lot of stuff in the game I could explore, I'm not a powergamer like some of you freaks that play every pserver and have all their mods mapped out months before release. A lot of you guys should get a clue and frick off and stop malding so much over what people want to play, I can't believe this homosexual culture of whiners has developed to such a degree that you think it's ok to gatekeep what I would like to be playing, can't you homosexuals see how fricking gross you are lol
Was a nice first and a half month. Then it continued getting worse and worse. Game sucks when it's just minmaxxing, parsing, and buying gold.
>buying gold
This right here killed it. Minmaxxing was always a thing, parsing is fricking gay with how some people take it seriously but knowing how you're doing is a good reason to know a parse
Blizzard doing nothing about the bots farming gold and letting this shit infect raiding with GDKP kills it for anyone who isn't hardcore poopsocking and asskissing for raid positions and loot. It's SOOOOO good that Blizzard finally came mask off by including the WoW Token for WOTLK so they can double penetrate people for gold for loot
Streamer homosexuals also didn't help
it's time for you...to come home...
>come home to a crypto miner
nah
prove it
People should probably realize you're not talking to actual players that want to play the game anymore, you're talking to fat loser men, mostly chinks and shitskins that run bot farms in wow and want to keep this corpse of a franchise alive as long as possible so they can keep their lights on in their bughut and favela shitholes
I'd rather go back to 2006 or something
Wow token mindbroken all the puritan trannies, not a single one is even playing the game either.
and that's a good thing, quicker the game dies the better
>all that is left is RMTing GDKP running parse trannies
KEK a hell of their own creation. Honestly, I hope they stay there forever. WoW has always been a filter and containment MMO, and with how troonydragon has weakening the containment field I am scared for all of the other online games out there should it break.
imagine this but with bloated 40 year old WoW trannies
Retail is better.
Imagine playing a lesser game for the sake of nostalgia.
Retail is a trans furry abomination
Retail is all of those things. It also has relevant and challenging content. Enjoy your copium
Nah, Dragonflight slaps. Seethe
maybe it does but 20 years of shitting on their fanbase has ruined all good will and I'll never care to find out lol
I don't know what's worse your phonepost or retail, both are godawful
