Loot bug was the best. That crap was around for so long too. I want to say at least a week or two, which given the severity of the bug, was crazy. Imagine something like that in a game's launch today and around for so long.
I was playing AO before going to WoW, so was somewhat already used to just running missions/quests over and over. AO was basically missions from a mission terminal over and over.

Small? Kharazan, Mag, Kazzak, Gruul, TK, SS Cavern, Fel Reaver, Hyjal, BT, Sunwell...that expansion was fucking stacked with content. I guess because some of it wasn't located in Outland it could feel "smallish", but there were a fuckload of raids in the expansion.

Ulduar was by far my favorite raiding experience in WOW. It was so good. Their Hardmode design was so innovative and just... perfect.
Of course, they killed it.

EQ2 launched before WoW and had a better working quest system on launch. So did DAoC. So did FFXI Online.
WoW had a dogshit quest system compared to those games when it launched, questing was the primary way to level in Classic WoW and even with 13 patches in Classic adding hundreds of quests and 15 years of people mapping out the best routes you still spend 40 hours+ traveling and can't actually level up using just quests. WoWs quest system on launch was better then EQ but EQ system was by no means the Standard.

I wasnt implying it was a standard or the best, just that it was a vastly improved system over EQ's.

This fuckin guy is The Mandella Effect personified. Everything you know to be true, he claims the opposite and it is all so fucking old now that he has you questioning your own memories.
Is he a master class troll or a time traveler?

And that's different from WoW how, exactly? I guess WoW threw some meaningless pop culture references and dad jokes at you on top of it, but that's essentially what their questing system was in 2004.
Which is how EQ2 was also. The only difference was in WoW you didn't have enough quests to do. In those other games you did.

Am i wrong? WoW literally just copied those other games and did a worse job because they didn't have as many "gather 8 buckets of Berries" quests. Later on Blizzard started adding some more unique quests like the bombing quest in Hellfire or how the Lore is deeply woven with cut scenes in Durnhold. But that stuff didn't start happening till TBC.

Since most quest hubs in WoW also had breadcrumbs to dungeons part of your leveling xp was expected to be dungeons. If you were totally skipping dungeons then yeah, you'd often have to go do multiple hubs all over the place if you didn't want to grind. Even back in Vanilla AoE grinding was the best xp but you didn't get the faction and other side stuff from questing.
