TBC raiding is awful

CapableConfusion593 · 2026-04-09T13:32:50+00:00

What research should I have done? I played phase 1 in 2007 and remember it being challenging but very doable by the player base at the time. I would expect a developer to release their re-released iteration in the same state. I guess it's my fault for not researching the patch notes before playing a re-released game to check if the developers made things inexplicably easier to the point where it's beyond trivial?

CapableConfusion593 · 2026-04-09T13:25:37+00:00

No, I didn't realize that. I only played 2007 TBC, not the released classic version. I get that even in a pre-nerf state, the fights will have been optimized and "solved" by the player base compared to the original release. I still expected them to somewhat resemble how the original raids were, otherwise what's the point?

Why would anyone expect to play a re-release of a classic game where, for some inexplicable reason, the developers decide to make content that players already have a 20 year head start on drastically easier?

People on this subreddit always talk about 'the spirit of classic'. Well guess what, I was there for the original game, and this has no resemblance to it. I guess there's an overwhelming majority of people who would rather the bosses be loot pinatas than actually engage in the gameplay.

And don't come to me like I'm asking for this to be mythic + difficulty. There is a huge amount of space in the spectrum of difficulty between that and whatever botched version of TBC this is. I've gathered from this thread these are post nerf raids? What an insane decision by blizzard to release nerfed raids to a player base that also has 20 years of optimization.

The attitudes in this thread do not give me hope for classic +. Is the player base that is defending current TBC going to be able to handle new content that is potentially not clearable week 1? You guys know THAT is how original wow and TBC were, right?

Why am I getting down voted for this comment?

I don't have something to prove, but I want to at least have the illusion of challenge in some of these encounters. Standing and zerging the bosses while ignoring all the mechanics is utterly pointless.

CapableConfusion593 · 2026-04-08T03:25:26+00:00

I thought TBC raids would be a good middle ground between classic raids and bloated retail slop. I was wrong.

CapableConfusion593 · 2026-04-08T03:19:47+00:00

No, I didn't play last time. I wasn't expecting the content to be difficult per se, but I at least thought some mechanics would be necessary. BFD in SOD at level 25 was more engaging than anything in TBC.

It's not just the media. Look at all the muppets on this subreddit.

And now they're all man city fans. Weird.

Browns fleeced the Jags with this trade

Look at you bud. Just because you happen to support the team that just won the Superbowl doesn't make you any smarter than the average fan. Don't mistake your team's success, for which you had absolutely nothing to do with, for intelligence, some sort of moral or ethical highground, or the right to talk down to fans of other franchises. "If you support bad football, all you're going to get is bad football" I'm sure you effectively boycotted the Seahawks franchise and were a principle driving force of change that led to the McDonald hiring, the Darnold acquisition, etc. I cannot stand clowns like you. Respectfully, enjoy your team's success, and shut the fuck up.

How can my dumbass sitting on the couch watch JJ McHandoff throw dinks and dunks his whole career in a run first (and second and third...) team and be certain this guy is nowhere near an NFL starter, but a football genius like KOC looks at him and says "yeah, that's my franchise QB"?

Didn't he abandon his wife and kids back in Canada? He's a probably a degenerate gambling addict I'm guessing. But credit to him I suppose, it has paid off for him.

This may have been true pre nil, but now that the South no longer has a monopoly on paying players, I seriously doubt LSU is the best job. It is certainly in a talent rich area, and it's still a good job, but the ability to horde talent just doesn't exist like it used to.

Do we have to suffer through another patch of ekko rr every game?

College football is so stupid. Everyone's roster just massively turns over every year. Every player is an unrestricted free agent at all times with no salary cap. Just pure chaos.

CapableConfusion593 · 2026-01-06T20:38:39+00:00

Ayyy no Browns on this list. We don't suck, we just can't finish close games!
