I kind of feel like me manually leveling an alt instead of paying for a boost says all that needs to be said about WoW's newest content. The shit can kick rocks. I'll go through it when my alt hits max level, but if this newest upcoming content patch doesnt measure up to be nothing more than a grind... well then he's going on the back burner too. Which is likely.
Im not super excited about classic, cause Im not looking at it through rose colored glasses. The grind was definitely there and min/maxxing was hard even for those that wanted to do it. But since this many people are excited about nostalgia, Im down. I cant stand to play EQ, even p99, anymore because I dont know anyone. But in that same vein, when I had a solid online group - I had fun doing it and blasted through the levels. Which, I think can be said about WoW Classic, since everyone and their mom is apparently going to play it.

I think paying for a boost played a big part in ruining the game.

I know a lot of people say rose tinted glasses but I have been playing on a private few the last week and it's been fun. I am sure like any game at some point it gets old or you have everything but I have always enjoyed MMO's. As much as I enjoyed EQ in the day I could never get into P99 or anything in revisiting that game it's just to dated for me. The game feels clunky even at it's UI. WoW on the other hand is still very enjoyable, again probably not for everyone but compared to BFA it's vastly more fun.

True, but griefing alts while they lvl in STV until their main logged in, then their whole guild. Those massive battles were good times.
If you make skipping the process of lvling a micro transaction, it turns great world pvp zones into a desert. It's also a lame cash grab and promotes pay2win. This is when you know a game has jumped the shark.
Surviving STV as any class between 30 to 40 is s rite of passage and the best way to learn your class IMO.

World PVP died ages before they added the pay-to-level feature. So, this point is moot.

It's because they did half assed PvP objectives in late Classic (EPL Towers, Silithus spice) and Burning Crusade (Zangarmarsh towers, Nagrand town) which were really unpopular. So they thought PvP objectives and staying in old zones was unpopular and stopped bothering.
Their egos wouldn't let them accept it was their shitty implementations, which is clear given how Nesingwary Camp and Southshore/Tarren Mill were bone strewn wastelands of player generated content.

I remember someone mentioning (old dev stream?) that the entire reason they implemented BGs was because the game could not handle mass PVP at the time, and neither could your computer.
Word pvp sucks anyways dudes, I dont know how any of you remember that shit but it was always about who had more people would wipe the other. The best world pvp was like team vs team or 2v2 or 1v1 that shit was the best The pvp that would spawn organically when you were out doing some shit. The zergs in tarren mill were fun for about 10 min.
Honestly looking back none of that shit stands out, where the AV and AB stuff I still remember tot his day.

Yeah or High Overlord Saufang who was just the random Nerferian head turn in NPC but everyone noticed him destroying raids on Orgrimmar because he was bugged somehow, so now he is a major lore character.
How do they not get it?
They are so scared of disrupting cities by incentivising capital raids, but those were such memorable experiences. Newbies who are getting one shot and can't turn in their quests don't need a lack of raids doing that, they need rewards for doing their bit and chucking a frostbolt at someone.

The most disruptive shit I can remmeber is the ally killing off quest fuckers in barrens and back then they had like a 30 min to hour respawn or some shit, which would literally stall your progression for that time. The same shit happened on the private server. They would kill the quest dudes and the flight master. Fucking annoying as hell.
