It's because the early testers were too retarded to be able to think for themselves.

You had to be there. You’re judging it by modern standards and not by what existed at the time.

If you're still asking the same question after 22 years then the problem lies with you anon.

>>737427401
Yes, I know. But I can choose to just not play the game without pain and courage. The same can not be said about real life.

As opposed to what? Queuing fortnite games over and over?

>>737427795
damn, asocial subhumans that hate everything ever disliked a social game?
>>
>>737426567
Back then it was something entirely new for most players. Together, they explored, battled, learned and laughed.
You had to be there to truly understand it. There will never be another one like it.

ok but we're living in modern days and blizztroons are still playing it. what's your excuse for that?

Why are people still playing Counter-Strike or Diablo?
>>
>>737426567
I prefer osrs because at least your progress doesn't get reset every 3 months

third worlders who can't afford better fps games

Millenials and Gen X were born huffing leaded gasoline fumes and it permanently damaged their brains, thats why

Also as the other anon said 3rd worlders just play the same free game forever

what's a more expensive shooter

anon, please
>>

Because they were too autistic to pass the social skillcheck and get into a raiding guild, which was the entire endgame back then.

>>737433405

Now post the median.

No they didn't dumbass I literally discovered 4chan through WoW in January 2005 and people were generally pretty positive towards the game, the /v/ hates everything attitude came in with tourists like yourself who can't comprehend having a conversation with another human being that doesn't involve mentioning trannies or some other fetish
>>
loved wow, raided in a bunch of top 10 US heroic and then mythic raiding guilds, playing at the top with the best players in the world/country really opens your eyes into how shitty even the "top" players actually are

for reference one of the top end raiding guilds I was in was 5 nights a week for 5 hours a night

fun times

I tried watching some of the new expac but for some reason wow just seems insanely formulaic now, like 100x worse than even 2 expacs ago, where everything is copy pasted, like when I played the expac prepatch just to see what the game was like, it was literally the same exact prepatch from like 8 years ago, fly to the rare spawns and kill them, it actually killed all hype I had for midnight if they couldnt even put the energy in to do it proper

old /v/ did hate wow but like other anons have said, it was due to intense autism/skill issue
>>

the social aspect
>>
>>737439056
Which expansions did you raid in and what was your class?
>>
>>737426567
Appeal is you're 20 years too late, OP.
>>
>>737439114
This, unfortunately the boosting/botting culture and pug nature of raids has eliminated this. I took my time leveling and made little to no friends long-term and I found out my guild had a secret discord where they were openly mocking everyone out of the inner circle as slaves.

>>737426567
ADHD zoomers will never understand trve adventvre kino because social media has destroyed their brains. You cannot possibly comprehend the comfiness of the 1-60 journey.
>>
>>737426567
It was actually peer pressure mostly when WoW released. Everyone had that one guy in their friend group that made everyone else play it with them and it was enjoyable in that context because its not a soulcrushing slog with help. Its why so many people say it feels hollow and dead now without really being able to articulate why. They never actually liked the game to begin with, they liked the people they played it with. If it came out today it'd just be a friendslop fotm fad like Helldivers 2.

>A game made for 80 IQ slaves.
more like a game that actually filters 80 IQ slaves like you

the fun of classic wow leveling is constantly having to think about how to progress efficiently. Setting out to do a single kill/collect XY and return (rinse and repeat) is slow, tedious, and it's not how you were meant to progress to begin with, but it is how retards (like you) play

often you have around 25 active quests, which is the limit, and often you even have to decide what quests to accept
the quests send you to varying locations, sometimes even to the other side of the world, traveling takes time and your resources and storage are also limited so you have to plan ahead to tackle them efficiently
they also have varying difficulties/danger, sometimes you can't handle them alone or efficiently or at all, or without further preparation, but also offer varying rewards that can really boost your progression. The varying difficulties also encourage cooperation with other players.
add to that you have proper resource management with finite money you have to constantly spend on learning skills, consumables, gear and other stuff, so you have to set priorities and micromanage your builds, and ofc you have to visit different places to access these that you also have to plan with

This is a vastly superior, more engaging and engrossing leveling experience than modern WoW (or most modern MMOs/rpgs in general) where you might have more scripted/cinematic/minigame filled quests, but you are on complete autopilot through the entire leveling experience, where there is nothing to think about or plan ahead, the enemies are never a threat to you, you are always showered with more loot and money than you need, quests are always clearly laid out to you to tackle in a predetermined order, etc.

it was actually really fun with friends.
40man raids, everyone screaming at the top of their lungs in voice chat, good times...

You are a modern brain poisoned robot who can not conceptualize value in a journey. I don't say this to mock you, Anon. You can't help but be what you are.
>>
>>737434628
The fun and magic of WoW was when barely anyone was even in a raiding guild and molten core was this mythical place that might not even actually exist

Quest limit is 20 you fake vanilla fan.

A level treadmill is not much of a journey. There is nothing of interest to see, do, or experience in WoW. It is only marginally superior to gacha trash.
>>
BE HONEST:

Is WoW worth playing again? The occasional threads showing old WoW SOVL and hot night elf bitches make me want to try the new expansion. I haven't played since WoD
>>
>>737445919
>new expansion
lmao. retoilet is an absolute sewage treatment plant tripe garbage with literal faggot centaurs, frogs, and tranny angels, and I wish I was kidding or exaggarating

nothing past wotlk is worth playing

Are you the schizo who makes daily MMO threads complaining about leveling's existence in MMOs? What're you doing here?
>>
>>737445919
Play Conquest of Azeroth when the 1.0 server comes out, which seems like it's going to be soon(tm(for real this time)).
>>
>>737445919
>Is WoW worth playing
no and it never was.
you should be playing other mmos, like Pantheon Rise of the Fallen
>>
>>737426567

I hope that lays it out for you
>>
>>737441042
if you are still around I played vanilla up until dragonflight (2nd tier M sarkereth or w/e his name was when I really quit)

main class was holy paladin, but I played some other healers here n there like monk/shaman/priest when my guild needed the specific class for a fight
>>
>>737426567
In the past the appeal was the social aspect which made it so you had to actually group up with others to overcome most challenges. That + the auction house and limited knowledge of the game at the time made the world feel like it was a real alternative reality on to p of being a game.

Unfortunately, the modern game is both a solved game where every build, secret, and itemization is all figured out, and it’s filled with anti-social low IQ brown RMT traders and scammers who see the game as a way to make money and not as a social experience.
>>
>>737426567
That's like every game, you fucking retard.
>>
>>737446378
>Conquest of Azeroth
Will be shut down soon. It’s over for private server trannies
>>
>>737445919
Yes, it's worth playing. The first time you play wow it'll be a magical experience, it's only when you get to the endgame that you don't want to play anymore.
>>
>>737447503
stop lying, I played wow years later than most, and after a month I gave up, nothing magical about it, shit looks ugly and quests are boring as fuck, I kind of forced myself to play because I paid for the whole month but never again
>>
ban gachafaggots

i never ever will understand the appeal of MMORPGs. what's the point? how do people get addicted to this shit?
>>
>>737427686
KEKAROO
>>
>>737441957
Yeah I've been trying it for the first time, the only fun parts have been when you team up with someone and go in a cave area and kill everything and then there's maybe another quest inside, then you kill everything again and maybe get a chest or something. Then you turn all the quests in. That's about it though.
>>
>>737445304
stop replying with worthless shit
OP was likely bitching about classic, not decided to make a thread about Vanilla 20 years later, also not like leveling experience was any different in TBC
>>
buy an ad maye

>>737426567
Only people who don't read quest text say this.
