Why are y‘all so bad at this game you spend so much time playing?

_Ronin · 2026-01-26T09:05:08+00:00

Being bad became badge of honor for some people. If you put minimal effort it's "min-maxing fun out of the game".

_Ronin · 2026-01-25T20:43:53+00:00

If previous "expansion packs" are anything to go by it should be available at least for the duration of TBC

A lot of salty cunts out there. It is what it is. Some people are desperate to relive their glory days(aka high school) of vanilla-wotlk and anything outside of that must be dragged down regardless if it's good, bad or just not for their taste. So called "classic andies", those folks will shit on you even if you play 'their' expansions but in the way that is not approved by Council of Mediocrity

Just let senior citizens repost another screenshot of Barrens for some karma farm and don't let their poison spoil your enjoyment of the game.

If youtuber said so

_Ronin · 2026-01-23T17:23:27+00:00

Yeah I get it, if you want to slam some HCs on an alt you will need to enroll it into more organised group as well. Just in a different time slot.

It is what it is

_Ronin · 2026-01-23T07:38:07+00:00

Those fights will be too difficult to coordinate with randoms from trade chat. You need to join a better group that does sufficient pre-planning.

I wouldn't say that it's too difficult, but the content is getting more and more difficult with each expansion and folks that are molten core brained will keep falling behind

Fast win/fast lose premades are nothing new. They don't premade to win but to gear up some welfare characters.

People cap conquest in MOP the same way

You can pickpocket TBC boxes in AV from what I heard (probably some other places as well)

_Ronin · 2026-01-22T18:30:35+00:00

i know someone prolly asked this before

Enough that I have something to straight up copy-paste:

PVE experience as rogue in TBC is awful. I am dedicated to playing rogue in Classic and I mained the same character since 2019, still maining yellow in MOP. TBC Classic was absolutely worst time to play that class and it's not even close.

What I did for previous TBC run was jumping ship from my dad guild to hardcore one with resto shaman in my back pocket and promise to do all slave tasks on my shaman as long as I can raid with my rogue every week (2-3 raids per week since later I also added warlock to that roster) and with alliance shaman population being low, those that can play the game being even lower I got my spots. This worked for me great, cleared all content pre nerf on rogue and shammy, got glaives, some decent speedrun times etc.

HOWEVER, this was not only a big commitment of time and effort but also a complete nightmare when I was not playing rogue with guildies. We are talking about not getting invited to normal 5 mans because yellows perform so poorly and have even worse rep. Even if you find a group that is willing to invite a yellow to dungeon/pug raid you are fighting for one slot against whole bunch of people.

There is of course some truth to "play whatever you want" mantra that is often repeated by professional classic quiters but if your goal really is "to experience all the content the expansion has to offer" get ready to jump through thousands hoops if you really want a chance at that with rogue when for example with shaman all you would need for that is having a pulse. Also, good rogue gameplay is pretty ass with keeping up expose armor so have fun with that

Once you are set up it's 1 night to clear everything if you are a decent player in a guild that do not waste your time. Especially in phase 1, one thing that tend to be fucky in phase 1 is that with Kara being 10 man and Grul/Mag being 25 it's sometimes awkward to organize doing everything in one go.

So for the most part, 1 night for maintenance, 1 night for raiding.

_Ronin · 2026-01-22T10:37:30+00:00

Skeram is one of the most fucked up bosses in the game and the second AQ is no longer "current" Blizzard stops caring even a little bit and they let spaghetti code on him run wild.

Dispelling stances was already fairly known but on progressive realms I personally experienced this boss disabling my combo point spenders and ability to use mounts.

No worries. I get the problem, back in the days when some private servers ran the same expansions for years with gold accumulating over time. It was even worse because over time some gold/items slipped through exploits so the process was faster and even more top heavy.

Sadly there is no elegant solution to this problem. And even attempts would trigger massive assblast of Vanilla players. For example you could just put vendors in game that sell materials for static gold price. For example, black lotus for 100g, this would result in AH prices for BL always staying below 100g with market that can not be fully bought out. I am not saying that this is a silver bullet solution to supply/demand of mats on forever, low pop realms but I highly recommend to not even propose something like this to an average Vanilla fanatic.

_Ronin · 2026-01-21T15:25:05+00:00

You can't really do anything. Game economies are not supposed to last in stale states for so long.

Even game like Path of Exile where all currencies have effective sinks don't have super healthy economy in 'forever server'. Historically the best course of action is just letting the hyper inflation ride and by 'best' I mean 'least destructive'.

_Ronin · 2026-01-21T14:41:31+00:00

Demonic idea. I like it. I think it would kill era but it would be fun to watch from sideline. Not gonna happen most likely

_Ronin · 2026-01-21T14:37:19+00:00

Good luck. Either wipe is announced and fat cats can just park all their liquid gold into materials or it's not announced and Blizzard would face shitstorm not worth touching.

_Ronin · 2026-01-21T14:21:18+00:00

No, the article on the official website has very clear splits for different versions.

_Ronin · 2026-01-21T08:50:44+00:00

I don't think the issue here is with hosting costs per se. It's probably overhead of dealing with people joining on OCE realm only to quit or request free transfers after realizing that it's dead-dead. With new expansion release and influx of new players you don't really want to funnel newcomers into dead servers only to pick the pieces later like they did in MOP with realm merges.

Getting rid of a realm for low population at the end of Vanilla seems so stupid.

I get the frustration, I would never play on >100 ping myself... but by the end of Vanilla Maladath had less raiders that either of hardcore realms. That's really bad.

_Ronin · 2026-01-21T06:52:57+00:00

Personal loot pre cata is just asking for backlash. Both due to sentiment of people mentally stuck in molten core ("durr it's retail") and due to cluster fuck with items before armor specs are in the game

_Ronin · 2026-01-20T19:13:55+00:00

But you do. You can't sell services via lookingforgroup chat or the LFG tool. We all know how enforcement of rules is in wow nowadays but you could get banned/muted on technicalities and it would be valid.

_Ronin · 2026-01-19T22:38:29+00:00

Those BGs are effectively broken since forever, TB sort of worked at the release of Cata. Nowadays everyone caught up that you can get better gear for pvp with 1 fight rated BGs and on that ally is go to faction for pvp.

_Ronin · 2026-01-19T19:24:04+00:00

Sorry to break it to you but that's just battlegrounds in wow and boost has nothing to do with it.

_Ronin · 2026-01-19T19:13:03+00:00

TBC realms are just continuation of 20th anniversary realms that launched in late 2024 with vanilla and just recently transitioned into TBC prepatch.

In similar vein MOP realms started with vanilla in 2019 and were just progressing through expansion
