Not to mention all the confusing ravines and lack of connecting quests. 8 to 11 took me ages Not to mention Org is the only flightpoint lol Aye, levelling takes twice as long in classic.They halved the level time around 2008-9 i think it was? I'm on fairbanks. | ||

I'm guessing only Ahn'Qiraj will be decently tough as that's the last instance in classic and the patch at the Classic servers are already in that state. Probably not either, as there have been a few patches after that as well. I'm gonna take a wild guess that you don't know what you're talking about if you think AQ is the last instance of classic? Lol Also it's not that MC was nerfed, it's that classic raids were never hard, especially not MC. Reminder Onyxia, also a 40 man raid, was 4-manned while classic was current. The hardest part of the hardest raid in classic wow was having 8 tanks geared to handle horsemen. It's not mechanical, it's not a player skill issue, because the mechanical side of it is easy. | ||

Probably not either, as there have been a few patches after that as well. BUT, MC (or any old raid really) was never hard. There are no difficult mechanics at all, there is no enrage, no gear check worth speaking off. Every single Classic raid going forward is going to be cleared in a few hours at most of it opening up. And calling AQ the end when Naxx was kinda shows how little you know. | ||

But yes, I never played anything after MC in Classic so I indeed don't know much about how it looked later. I guarantee you the later bosses in MC were not easy in the first patch MC was being tried. Or everyone sucked. From what I read it took the first guild 74 days to go from Majordomo to clear Ragnaros, and I'm pretty sure it's not because people are just way better now (so much that many people aren't even max level) but because of patch changes.. Yes people are WAY better now. | ||

They basically assembled 40 hardcore players. Each probably has killed Ragnaros 100+ times during the last 14 years. Every mechanic of the fight is known and well understood (and there aren't that many in the first place). Theorycrafting is also on a so much higher level than it was back then. Even in 2005/2006, when 20 out of the 40 players assembled in our raid weren't terrible, we blasted through it. It is a little bit surprising to me that it was so quick, but after second thought it actually isn't. BWL might be tougher because there is more one shot mechanics and maybe the gear isn't there yet. But with enough consumables it might be easily doable as well. | ||

 Kind of unfortunate how toxic the retail/classic split is. | ||

Gonna take a month for this all to die down and the people who genuinely wanted classic and want to play it will get their game they want and everyone else will either be back on retail or back to fornite xD On that note also, last night playing with my friends i noticed people in trade asking such new questions it was insane. Genuine new players playing WoW in 2019 i never thought i would have seen that, its amazing to think that people are picking up this game for the first time. | ||

I love how hard people are shitting on method for not getting world first and they weren't even trying to race lol I think a lot of it is just memeing since the whole event is called "race to world first" and they brought up the first to 60, rag & onyxia stuff so many times. They weren't really in the competition as they died when half of method was still high 40's to starting the 50's. | ||

I’m personally looking forward to more people getting 60 and the price of crafting mats going up so I can start making gold. | ||

Thanks to player reports and feedback, we’ve identified a bug affecting how XP was calculated for parties of 6 or more players. We are rolling out a hotfix right now, to all realms, that should correct this. Going forward, XP awarded should be significantly lower for parties of 6 or more players. Again, thank you very much for your feedback. Slightly annoying that they fix this after the wave of people using it got pretty much to 60 but before other people did, oh well. They were getting 2.8x the intended experience for 10-man groups. ----- https://classic.wowhead.com/news=294853/hunter-caster-pets-glitch-seems-to-be-fixed-in-classic-wow My opinion on this is that it's fine having the pets have proper stats, although it's quite likely that it's an oversight rather than an intentional change. I can see why some people might not like it (as these pets used to just suck and be completely irrelevant, so why shouldn't they now?) but i'd keep the change personally because it's not really harming the spirit of the game. | ||

Genuine new players playing WoW in 2019 i never thought i would have seen that, its amazing to think that people are picking up this game for the first time. Thats plain wrong? The community is ridiculously nice. I didn't join any Guild yet but just two random examples, i could come up with MANY of These: I group with a guy for 15 minutes to do some random quest because we were tired of Tagging each others mobs, no other interaction. He see's that i'm Alchemist --> Gives me the herbs he found in a chest, whiteout asking. 2 People tag a Questmob a second before i am there… They stop hitting it when its at 20%, invite me into their group, wait for me to actually dmg it and then ask if it's "ok" to kill it now. But then again, i'm now lvl 25. Which is for sure a bit ahead of the curve but behind the tryhard crowd that took days off and there are no streamers/twitch idiots on my server. | ||

Im still raiding on retail, but since I have 66 neck and don't really need to grind anything, that time I mostly spend on classic now. | ||
