>bots everywhere>every single open world farming spot is camped 24/7>instance farms are dead unless you're a prot paladin and even then it's nerfed and much slower due to the anti-boosting mechanics>auction house and mailbox have been painfully slow for 2 months, radio silence from devs>honor gains are fucked, literally 3-4 times slower than farming honor during pre-patch>arcanite rod recipe still not fixed, almost 2 weeks after a blue post said they fixed it>post-nerf raids but pre-nerf heroic 5mans, thus making 5mans way harder than raidsHow the fuck does Blizzard keep fucking things up so badly? Something as simple as running a TBC server, that some russians do for free in their spare time, and somehow a multi billion dollar game dev massively fucks it up over and over and over.
How the fuck does OP fall for that so badly?
Game for turd worlders gets the polish it deserves.
why do zoomers refuse quest, it’s not any worse, you even get rep
>>733661270>anti-boosting mechanicsWhat exactly?
>>733661270surely one more re-release will fix the game, right?
>>733661567mobs instantly appear next to you if you try to kite them, slows don't apply to mobs who have been in combat for too long
>>733661567after 60 seconds in combat, trash mobs in Stratholme will start spamming you with stuns and it even goes through immunities (ice block, bubble, etc)apparently paladins aoe farming strat made blizz mad
it's funny because there's already an anti-boosting mechanic in place (if mobs are grey to anyone in the group, all exp is cut by like 95%) but blizz took it one step further and made it harder/slower for paladins to aoe farm it for gold
>>733661802buy an official character boost, goy
kek that's so pettyimagine subbing for this
>>733661948They did it specifically to sell more store boosts.yes, you can now buy unlimited level 58 boosts in tbc classicgotta pander to the retail tourist crowd
couldn't believe it when they made pick pocket unusable in BRDlike, what, do you genuinely WANT people to buy gold from chinks?
>>733662043in mop classic they were going to delete all golds drops from old raids but changed their mind last minute
>>733662043Blizz wants you to be playing retail where all the pets and mounts and cosmetics and other microtransactions areClassic is only being hosted to give them more solid legal grounds to shut down private servers, nothing else>>733662198lmao this too, they hotfix nerfed old raid gold drops and only reverted it after a huge outcry from the playerbase
>>733662043I play a rogue, but what irritates me even more is how they nerfed grey drops from animals. They tanked drop rates into the ground to combat botters and some old farm spots are entirely useless now giving like less than half the gold they used to
>>733661671>>733661717Interesting. Did people get around this somehow?Surely the playerbase of minmaxxing nerds isn't just gonna accept defeat.
>>733662467Yes, you can still aoe farm strat on paladin, but it's much slower and you have to break it up into 3 or 4 pulls so that you don't hit the 60 second stun spam.
Why would you willingly play a sever where most of the people are scrubs with boosted characters lol
>>733662656considerably less third worlders
>>733661270Yeah that sounds like Blizzard alright. They probably have a single part timer managing the whole thing
>>733662656Bad playerbase means I am good.
How many times have they recycled BC now? And do they just wipe progress and people just do the same shit again?
>>733662909the point is to enjoy the moment, not to hoard digital pixels forever
>>733663103Couldn't you just create an alt and level up 60-70 in BC zones?
I can't guess why I'm here
>>733661270classic isn't being maintained, what did you expect? none of those things will ever get fixed because there's no one to fix them
>still farming stratholme on their paladinsthere's so many better spots even before the nerf
I quit the game after Blizz banned my account because I killed some Venezuelan bot farmers and they mass reported me. Until they fix that shit and actually get real customer service (never) I will not resub.
>>733662262They don’t need to do shit to have legal grounds to have pirate servers shut down, they own the IP.
>>733666263>they own the IP.too bad they don't own the code
>>733666316Cope all you want, but the law is what it is and blizzard will always win in court.
>>733666101Is that really the only reason you were banned anon?
oldschool runescape has the same problem which is why i refuse to touch it. somehow runescape 3 actually is better but people don't want to admit it.
>>733666316actually kek'd reading this
>>733666734Yes and I don't know why people still doubt the incompetence of Blizzard and second guess when people say this shit. You literally see it happen to streamers all the time and they only get unbanned from connections. Soda got banned like day 1 of TBC or some shit.
>>733666050Such as?Every single mote farming spot out in the world is flooded 24/7 because megaservers
>>733666734yes, if enough people report you, the system automatically bans you and you have to spend a few days to a week making ticket after ticket until a real human being reads it (and not an AI chatbot) and unbans you
>>733667406And that's if you don't get unlucky with a dipshit SAR that doesn't even know anything about the game and will reject you to close a ticket to fill a quota. They will then tell you that they will permaban your account if you keep opening tickets.
>>733667635I'm pretty sure at this point it's all just AI chat bots with a handful of actual humans. Their canned responses are all the same and they never actually help with anything ingame anymore. They will literally tell you to go to wowhead or the forums and ask other players for help. It's fucking pathetic.
Modern MMO players are effectively bots anyway so I just play a repack that does its own thing. custom content n shit in a "individual progression" setting where you have to go through the expansion content in order.Its pretty fun, I even AI'd in a system for absorbing gear similar to that Synastria server.Its not the "classic" experience but it is a good time imo.
>>733666734Most of blizzards support services are automated because they're cheap fucks.
>>733661270-WoW-Burning CrusadeGrifter edition
>>733661270>every single open world farming spot is camped 24/7Welcome to MMOs, shit has been happening since forever
We already knew this was going to happen. Classic Vanilla was a shitshow.
>>733661270>still playing nu blizzard serversLMAO and you pay for this shit on top of it LOL!!!!!come on don't be retarded these issues have been known for over a decade now STOP playing these garbage servers full of garbage human being losers who want to cheat for pixels and made up numbers.only the biggest fucking shitheads still play official servers.
>>733668315a lot of retards will argue against it but it's not as much of a problem in older mmorpgs like everquest, yeah the most popular spots will be contested but there's so many other things worth money to farm spread out across the giant open world there's always something you can do.While WoW has very limited shit worthwhile at max lvl because it uses a god awful binding and level enforced system for itemization.
>>733661270>Playing non-hardcore wowThere's your problem.
>>733668371God I still remember when they enabled PVP honor early before dropping the actual pvp area.Took nearly an hour to get to a dungeon due to the constant gank squads camping the flight masters
>>733661270Well, that's the kind of quality you'd expect from a premium game with a monthly subscription.
>>733669005>playing nu blizzard servers>playing hardcoreboth mean you're a retarded faggot loser
>>733669005Hardcore should be self found by default.
>>733661270You think you do, but you don't.
>>733670185anon...
>>733670185Anon I can see her goblins
>>733670185Why is she wearing a giant condom?
>>733663471no
>>733670185But we're talking about making money, chief. It's a lot shittier now for solo farms. Can't even go reasonably farm dark runes it's just all botched for returns.
the secret to infinite money in tbc is just having 4-5 tailoring alts and selling the cooldowns/spellcloth
>>733668315except it's way worse because blizz insisted on going with megaserverseven layer swapping doesn't help, every layer is crowded
>>733669005>playing endless leveling super slow and defensive modeGenuine autism.
>>733661520I played a bit of pre-patch, and almost every 55-60 questing area was packed to the point of unplayability. What the current Classic WoW team doesn't seem to understand is:>original TBC wasn't designed for megaservers>original TBC wasn't designed for boosts that put the entire population immediately in the same zones >original TBC had a much more new-to-MMO, casual playerbase that could take a year of play to get to max level>original TBC didn't have this compressed content release schedule With this version of the game, you get everyone all packed together at the same time, with less time to accomplish goals, and it makes getting stuff done out in the world feel like AIDS.
>>733661671This is a good thing to be honest, players shouldn't be farming all alone in instances, they should be out and about in the world.
>>733671352It’s the players that demand megaservers. >you think you do, but you don’t
>>733671617and yet, the forums are full of crying that megaservers are badcurious
and yet you keep paying and playing like a good piggy KEK you fucking junkies are hopeless
>>733671768If there is one thing you can count on WoW players to do it’s complain.
hellfire peninsula fucking sucks, couldn’t imagine fighting 1000 people for 10 wood and those named forge demons in 20 fucking 26
>>733661270I play turtle and have fun like in the old days :)
>>733661520It's worse. The world is filled to the brim with other players so you're waiting on spawns. When you finally pull something you get ganked.
>>733662656I have level three mages from level 1 to max at various points in the game's life. Across retail and classic I have over 800 days played on mages. If you hand me a boosted mage I'm only going to be a scrub for as long as it takes me to farm good gear, which, in Classic TBC, isn't long.
>>733661270
>>733661270Weird. I didn't have any of these issues playing my Rogue and Warlock in TBC in 2007.its almost like whoever was in charge back then knew what they were doing...
>>733673456>whoever was in charge back then knew what they were doing...not the issuegoldfarming cabals are an inherent part of the warcraft economy as a direct financial asset nownumber goes down if goldfarmers get bannedparasitic relationship has turned them into a protected class (you are more likely to be banned for disrupting bots than the bots themselves)
>>733671346this is unironically how i made millions at start of war within>notice tailoring has a 3 day cooldown epic cloth>get tailoring on all my alts>go gather the various tailoring knowledge>unlock recipe on like 9 alts>every 3 days do the cooldown just buying cloth off AH>make like 2-3 million gold in a monthafter a month though the prices crashed and it was no longer profitable to craft. was still good if you were early.Midnight might be the same situation.
The fun of wow is exploring the world and leveling with your friends in a party
>2006>original TBC launches>every player on every server crammed into one zone to level>absolute beans>Blizzard learns from this and disperses players going forward>2026>TBC 3 launches>know Hellfire is going to be clown shoes>go out of your way to combine every server together into one super mega server where people ethereally fade in and out into nebulous, unrealiable "shards">Hellfire has more players than mobs>mining nodes are a dream>herbs extinct>Ramparts overflowing with rep autists and people trying to avoid 7 hour camp to kill 20 hellboarsMega servers are the dumbest thing they've ever done. Only championed by autist sweatlords and streamers who can call out into the void and have dozens of people come and lift them away to be carried elsewhere.TBC is peak and Blizzard has done everything they possibly can to tear down its legacy so they can say "people don't want it."Wrath will be just as mutilated. Look forward to camping nerubians for 8 hours. We already know they can't get the boats and zeps to work.
>>733661270meh ill just play twow
"You think you do but you don't" was always correct.
>he's still holding onto mmo's in current yearyou gotta move on at some point
We need to go back to comfy 3k pop servers ... megaservers were a mistake
>>733674480just play on private server if u want more realistic tbc
They'll do anything except put actual GMs into the servers to remove botters
>>733673003>chinks everywhere>pay2win donations (30 slot bags, portable auction house and bank, etc)>10,000+ people on one server>hardcore players sharing a server with non-hardcore>broken funserver shit like the tents that essentially give you permanent rested exp>"just like the old days"keep coping
>>733661270WoW was never good
>>733677505it was good until patch 3.2, that's when everything went to shit and never got better
>>733677402keep coping with retail :)
>>733677586>he thinks I play r*tail>he thinks I have even touched r*tail in the past 10 yearsholy giga cope
>>733676130The problem with low-pop-cap servers is that they have a chance of dying out and then people get stuck on a dead server. That and it's hard as fuck to find dungeon groups outside of primetime.>t. played on a 2-3k online pserver back in 2017
Turtle already won, classiccucks lost bigly a long time ago
>>733677629Keep coping :)
>>733677629Tbc is indeed retail, even if they stamp the word "classic" all over it.
>>733677725You know they can just merge servers right
>>733677745I would play Turtle if I wasn't utterly infested with thirdies. Not that Blizz servers are that much better, but the sub fee keeps out a fair amount of undesirables.
>>733676130How do you prevent the number from going below 3k? Populations constantly rise and fall. If you cap at 3k then in the lull between patches you end up with 800 people playing.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/g23kzC5-sDQum, TBC bros???
>>733677998>name conflicts>guild name conflicts>among other issuessilence, retard
>>733678018Who are these "thirdies" you speak of? You know you can find a us only guild right?
>>733678040yeah it's kinda hilarious how fucked PvP is right now, at least in terms of arena ratings and honor pointsyou literally only get like 200-300 honor for a battleground win and a single piece of gear costs 10,000+feels good to be a PvE carebear right now
>>733678040Classicfags are the same players as retail. They dont want to actually play the game.
>>733661270Everyone who played the first TBC Classic knew it was going to end up like this.
>>733661802Shame that doesn't matter when they're boosting slave pens.
>>733678147>you don't want to farm 40 battlegrounds for 1 piece of gear? guess you don't want to play the gamegenuine retard
>>733678072>Complete non-issuesOh no I have to choose another name, how awful! It doesn't matter that it solves every other problem perfectly, finding an alternative to Pooniggerxx is just too hard!
>>733662656Because that is still a thousandfold tiles better than playing on private servers.The "people" on troondlewow or trannyscension can't even be considered human. They're subhuman retards with IQs that would make a chimp seem like einstein
>>733678218>NOOOOOOO I HAVE TO ACTUALLY DO WORK TO GET REWARDS???Yeah, you most certainly are retarded. This is your brain on retail.
>>733678361Cry more retailbitch
>>733678147>Classic faggot trying to pretend retail players are just as badLol. Retail players are spamming delves or mythic keys. They actually play the game.
>>733678367>Work>In a video gameRoflmao mazed lunatic
>>733678419Sit down latinx, humans are speaking
kek @ retoilet players
>>733678492Nobody actually plays retail lmao it died with Shadowlands
>>733678536Enjoying your bot simulator retailbitch?
>>733677402WoW when it first started was just dumbed down everquest anyway, broIt's hilarious to watch WoW players whine about dumbng it down when WoW has always been mmo for casual
>>733678147Its truly a sad state of affairs. Given the opportunity classic players(retoilet tourists) will buy their way out of any sort of slight friction.
how many times can you guys get tricked into "going home" and still blame blizzard
>>733678993holy fuck
>>733661270Being a blizzard fan in 2026 is a sign of serious mental illness. If you play ANY of their live service games you should be deported.
>>733678567>healer parses>matteringholy shitskin moment
>>733678492>spamming mythic keysoh look, it's diablo 3 remastered
>>733678993did she live in a tanning bed? jesus
