EPTIt was actually fun because after you've wiped for 2 months on a boss and you finally kill it EVERYONE in the raid would get ECSTATIC! Now no one wipes for 2 months on anything because there are no DPS races....

Maybe if you're not aware that you're in an eternal hamster wheel doing the same thing with slightly modified textures it would be fun. Virtual rat race. Cool. | ||

It just makes the kill that much sweeter. I really think the entire root of the problem is Blizz (along with every single other MMO company) not implementing any DPS race fights at all! Vael was the last true one, as we can see how long it took to clear BWL compared to Naxx/AQ40. Vael started at 30% HP and you needed 8-9 tanks for example (they would get insta-killed by one of his spells). Vael was a legit as hell fight. If games implemented DPS races, then these companies who make new MMOs won't have to release content patches 1-2 months after the game came out, that is downright ridiculous (see:SWTOR) because people just fly through content nowadays since everything is so simple and based on mechanics, which is much easier when back in the day MMOs would base their fights on both DPS races and mechanics with an extra 15-20 people (40 man raids). If they had DPS races then guilds would actually have to farm the content in order to see the rest of the game. It makes everything better IMO. | ||

If they had DPS races then guilds would actually have to farm the content in order to see the rest of the game. It makes everything better IMO. I think you need to take the rose-tinted glasses off. I raided in Vanilla WoW and loved the Vael fight as much as the next person (one of the better ones they designed), but the only reason farming for months and months to beat one encounter was exciting was because raiding was new to almost everybody back then. Even with the novelty factor, the burnout and attrition in guilds was horrendous, and multiple guilds on my server failed because they couldn't keep a consistent raid group together so they could gear up and kill Vael. The fact is, WoW has burned people out on the MMO model. SWTOR tried to do a lot of things that WoW did right, but to be honest, they should have gone with something completely new because people are sick of the eternal grind MMO. I'd also like to mention that aside from gear-check encounters, which while rewarding and fun in their proper place, are really the only way they can design fights that will actually challenge the top tier of raiding guilds. The fights can only be as hard as the designer's imagination allows them to be, and aside from really off the wall stuff there's not much they can come out with that the top 1% of guilds won't be immediately assuming gear isn't a factor. But at the same time, nobody wants to grind out farm content for 6 months in order to beat one encounter. It's sadistic and while it seemed fun in MC and BWL, people aren't really into it anymore. Blizzard has done a good job scaling the investment required back a little bit. Could even take it one step further and say that through WoW, Blizzard has trained a generation of MMO raiders. I doubt BioWare can release content in SWTOR that is actually challenging, since the people doing Ops (Raids) in that game are likely ex-WoWers. Same could be said for TITAN, but knowing Blizzard they could completely revolutionize the genre. | ||

Just like any activity, playing can be work or fun... one doesn't play CoD because of it's novel design, they play it because it's fun. I hear "rat race" a lot, but i honestly believe that's just an individual's perception. If you don't care to get the best gear AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after a patch, there is literally zero penalty for not doing so. WoW is simply not a competitive game, so don't treat it like one. Don't let video games stress you out. | ||

I remember when we first beat Rag, it was basically one of my top moments in all of gaming for me. Maybe raid sizes now keeps guilds less stable because they can have a higher turnover rate due to less people being needed? I dunno but it was awesome with 40. I would not hate bringing back 40 mans for 1-2 raids (like have the final boss being a 40 man and the lesser instances be normal size?) | ||

PvE: I don't know when you started playing Vanilla, but the grind in Vanilla was just as bad (if not worse). I don't know a single guild that would stop raiding MC once they hit BWL. You can never have too many TFs. BWL wasn't so bad, but Naxxramas was by far the worst and best raid content. I guarantee you that any guild that downed 4 Horsemen in Vanilla were putting in at least 30 hours a week of raiding. On top of that, you had to spend even more time farming all the materials for every flask and potion or be best friends with a gold farmer. How long were guilds stuck on Naxx for? 7 months. And I don't even mean 7 months Cata-Style where you progress from regular mode to heroic mode. No, I mean 7 months, 6 hours a day, 6 days a week of the exact same shit. If I remember correctly, only 10 US guilds cleared Naxx by the time TBC came out. PvP: I played on Blackrock, a super high population server. To hit Rank 14, you had to grind 12 hours a day and 7 days a week for 3 months. It was nothing more than a time commitment - just a bunch of semi-geared players in a pre-made mowing down random pugs until you hit another pre-made group trying to do the exact same thing. Some of the worst PvPers I know from Vanilla were GM/HWL. My point is that Cata might be too casual-friendly, but to experience the absolute end-game content in Vanilla, you had to be unemployed or a student who just did not give a fuck about school. I'd rather take the former than the latter. Don't get me wrong, Naxx was one of the most fun moments for me in WoW, but Vanilla WoW was more of an occupation than a game for many players. | ||

Farming never seemed to be as much of an issue *shrug* had to farm several stuff so many hours a week but it never seemed THAT bad. Raids in my guild always happened at night and I barely slept anyway (college kid) so meh. | ||

BC is where I feel WoW was at it's best. Aside from being a hunter, I couldn't complain about the pvp at all. The pve was also very good. There were a lot of very difficult fights that took ~ a month to beat - nothing too ridiculous, but still a very long amount of time. When I beat Kael for the first time, I was legit jumping in excitement. Getting to gladiator actually felt so far away and like a real achievement, but now it just seems like you need to play the flavour and it's already yours. Though druids were pretty stupid in seasons 2-4  | ||

Vanilla WoW was plagued by problems other than stale raids that made it take to long. When you add up all the little time sinks, and how they've been diminished, I would love to go back and raid vanilla again with them diminished the way they are: 1) Buffing is instant and raid-wide 2) You can port people to the instance (HUGE) 3) Several Elixers lasting through death 4) Endgame content just before MC is stupidly hard for the rewards given. ZG would take way too long and would still wipe geared groups. UBRS same situation, LBRS... Jesus. 5) You can "Un-wipe" your raid group with a guild reward (res everyone) 6) The runbacks we're all wayyyyyy better from BC on, (HUGE) If they had all these niceties in the game when I was running MC and BWL, the game would have been incredible. The way it was, every raid was just a bit too long. BTW: If you had a tight team of good players (Guess I was lucky), you could clear MC in 3 hours even without everyone tippy topped on gear. And we stopped doing it once we were getting into AQ40, the BWL gear was just as good and the MC runs we're just to gear our alts. | ||

Any gear that was on the character prior to the level boost will be mailed back to the character via in game mail. Hunter pets will not be given a spec, so level boosted Hunters will need to spec out their pets normally after logging in for the first time. Note: Active quests may be abandoned when a level boost is performed. If a quest is abandoned in this way, you will be able to pick it up normally from the NPC who originally gave you the quest. Can I only level boost one character? What happens if my main character is on a different realm or faction than the friend who invited me? If the character that was level boosted is on a different realm or faction than the character who sent the invitation, you will be eligible for a free Character Transfer and/or a free Faction Change to bring you to your friend’s realm and faction. Note: Existing limitations apply for Faction Changes and Realm Transfers under the Scroll of Resurrection system. Please see the Faction Change and Realm Transfer FAQs for details. In addition, players on an RU server will not receive a free Realm Transfer if the friend who invited them is from an EU server. How many times can one person accept a Scroll of Resurrection? After March 5th, 2012, accounts are only able to accept one Scroll of Resurrection per eligible World of Warcraft account– if your friend has already accepted an invitation after March 5th, they will not be able to accept another for the same World of Warcraft account, but may accept invitations for other eligible World of Warcraft accounts. Is there a way for me to boost a character to 80 without a Scroll of Resurrection? The ability to boost a character to 80 only comes when you accept a Scroll of Resurrection invitation source: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/4556846/Scroll_of_Resurrection_–Resurrected_Soon- 3_6_2012 I am confused now.Who will actually pay for scroll of resurrection?Resurrecter or inactive one? | ||

A player who is currently playing casts the scroll on an inactive player, who gets the benefits mentioned above. IF the receiver THEN buys a month of gametime, the caster of the scroll gets an exclusive mount. | ||

There are some limitations on who you can use it to, and at least before one account could have max 3 scrolls pending at one time. But I think the resurrecter will get the benefits only after resurrected have bought 1month gametime. | ||
