Amazing how different the world is in 2019. No one did this shit in 2004.

I know this is reddit and autistic, but I think it's kind of cute how they're all lined up and being so orderly.

This.

Grind to level 5, then gtfo of the starting area

Game launch, seven expansion launches, and dozens of patch day launches later, Blizzard still can't get its own shit in order.
>there are people that took time off/called in to experience this

Out of pure fucking morbid curiosity for those of you standing in line yourselves, what happens when someone 'cuts' you and just walks up and kills the mob the second it spawns like a normal person would?

So this is the true power of Nostalgia.

Nothing. You might get "blacklisted" by a few players who won't even be playing the game in a week. Any serious blacklisting is only reserved for actually heinous things such as ninja looting bind on pickup items you can't even use.

are lvl 19 twinks going to be a thing again?

Doxing and rape I assume.

People who cut queues are niggers, not normal people.

I guess everyone from 2004 is not a normal person then.

Dumb nigger pretending he knew how the game was in beta and on launch day.

Real question, why would you wait in line for hours when you're probably better off grinding mobs for exp?

>2019
>never hearing of a breadcrumb quest

>forming orderly lines and patiently waiting
What bullshit is this, I was promised the true classic WoW experience, nobody was this polite back in the day, shit was every man for himself when it came to quest mobs.

So far the community experience has been great. Everyone is chatting and having a good time. I've witnessed quite a few people just help out random people for no reason other than to be nice and helpful. I am seriously enjoying myself so far. Playing horde on bigglesworth if anyone cares.

Standing in line in a mmo does not make you normal.

I'm making a small profit right now selling water to people waiting in line for quest mobs

>especially one from fucking blizzard

have you people forgotten diablo 3 already? of course it's a fucking mess today

i played wow 4 years ago a lot should i buy membership for classic?

I've got two questions:
1. Why don't people just make groups of 6?
2. Why the fuck are these idiots waiting in line and not just bum rushing it

Based and agreed.
Fuck everyone else just skip the quest and grind.

>No one did this shit in 2004.
Dude what? This was common in MMOs even before World of Warcraft released. Normally the lines were only 3-5 people long, but still.

this is the reason why I hated MMOs so much growing up, there is nothing fun about having to share loot, quests, and mobs with 50+ other players

>2019
>walking simulators
>standing in line simulators
whats next?

My and my friends skipped every line lol

Because you can't make groups of 6. 5 is the non raid party limit.

DUDE, I'M BEEN PLAYING FOR HOURS ON A HIGH SERVER AND I'M LEVEL 10, YOU ARE RETARDED FOR SKIPPING SHITTY QUESTS LIKE THAT AND GRINDING TO MAKE UP FOR IT, LMFAO

You know how after about 2 weeks of an expansions launch everyone is bitching that there's nothing to do? And then new content comes right as they're about to cancel, and the process repeats itself?

Classic isn't getting new content ever.

Not entirely true.

its a fucking game fag

in 2 weeks only the hardcore player will be max level and it will take a long time till people are geared you sound fucking butthurt honestly

I guarantee less than 1% of people who play WoW Classic will ever clear Naxx

honestly this shit is pathetic. wait 1 hour in queue to enter to server. only to wait in line again for a fucking quest because blizzard can't into game design.

Fact. Nobody fucking got in line in real vanilla. This is some top tier autism and a shitty launch. Just further proof that you can't reproduce the "magic" of vanilla because it isn't 2004 anymore. Retards.

I don't get why they didn't just adjust respawn timers.

wowfags SEETHING

Yes starting areas are laggy as fuck and completely overcrowded. So much for all that layering bitching.
Beyond that game is smooth as fuck. In the past 5 hours I had more fun than wod legion and bfa combined

Classic's brought the best in people. Everyone's so active and nice. No issue getting in groups, helping others and I'm honestly just having a blast. More fun socially and gameplay-wise than I've had in the last two retail expansions.

you're fucking retarded, oh now the game is 15 year old wow you can't enjoy anything old, god you fucking butthurt baby.

The chat is half of the game. Vanilla was a very social experience. If you didn't experience the explosion of the internet in 2001-2004, and then the phenomenon that was WoW, you missed out and will never understand. You could finally play a game with friends in a huge world. Not just Counter Strike at a lan. Not just 16 people. Thousands. And form guilds. Have GvG warfare. The drama that surrounded it outside of the game. It was, and still is, my dream game. Nothing has come close to pulling off what WoW did.

However, in 2004, noone would do this. It's gay. Just jump the queue and kill steal.

That is is incredibly fucking lame.

nigguh it's an mmo; you're not standing idly like an austist but talk with some random fags. The least that it does it provides you with an unique online experience. Nobody says it's anything more than that

I'm 8 but max I've seen so far is 11

highest on firemaw eu was 16 or 17 just before the servers went down

i got to 12, but i didnt get in before 1:30 am

Not only there was no such thing on vanilla launch, this is just purely retarded and unfun. Anyone who unironically claims that this is better than retail is an idiot, contrarian, or just tries to look sophisticated and oldschool.

This is not inherent to vanilla, in fact I had even better and richer experience with Ultima Online, Ragnarok Online, Lineage, and Rising Force Online. For instance, in the latter you had three factions that are hostile to each other but can form alliances, nothing in WoW had that depth.

You're desperately chasing the feeling of happiness you had when you were young and playing wow for the first time.

What you fail to realize is that the key component in your happiness from back then wasn't playing wow, it was being young. You can never be young again. The novelty of "Oh it's that thing from 15 years ago I remember that" will wear off faster than you want to admit.

I don't understand. Half the fun for mey was being new and being amazed the world. Figuring out where shit was, the danger of being ganked while questing and most important the sense of of exploration. Then you make friends, join a guild, get epic loot, realize you've wasted years of your life, give your shit away and /gquit.

Every one of those men are legendary and will go down in history as winners. We're still reposting their contributions 10 years later and I don't see any signs of stopping.

If you don't intend to play on the server, go for it. We had people taking up names and screenshots of line skippers. That, and a barrage of spitting. Scared them straight pretty quick. And in the 15 minutes I was lined up, not a single skipper got a kill.

You'll be labelled as a Line Cutter and that's basically a death sentence since Classic is all about server community. People will refuse to group, trade or even speak with you.

The invisible hand

very epic

>competition
He mentioned "share", not "compete for". There's no competition in WoW because there's no World FFA PvP. You can't kill the people doing the same quests just to take their quest reward.

The funny thing is, we settled on the line after literally 200 people tried to swarm that guy in the Durotar cave in one big blob. Nobody could see shit or even loot. People realized it was the most sensible method and, sure enough, it was done pretty quick when we lined up in groups of 5.

I started playing WoW during Burning crusade. It's literally what got me friends in high school. Still talk to those friends in real life. I quit wow like in 2011 but the memories will always be there.

Nothing happens, people will forget in a few hours.

What was the story behind this again? I thought it was a group of like pedophiles or gay men who met up at a barn to eat together and then have an orgy.

True patrician. At this point I'm wondering if "Classic is fun" is a meme. There's no way in hell anyone legitimately considers 2004 gameplay to be superior than 2019s.

I was on a pvp server, and it was more of an annoyance than fun. It was almost always just an unfair gank where you started with 10% hp. Whatever if you find that fun, I don't.

The amount of bugs you have to kill to open the gates is ridiculous, and that's on top of keeping up with your potion mats. You might like poopsocking but it got old to me and I only stuck around so others would not be screwed (main tank). Its boring time gating that exists as nothing more than to give them more dev time, similar to the early BC boss difficulty.

I feel bad for people who weren't redpilled about vanilla on nostalrius, you're in for a rude awakening, and that server had an actual community, not just zoomer tourists.

Reputation is pretty important. I remember a hunter whose entire raiding career was fucked because he ninja'd Dal'Rend's from the wrong guy. By the time I was in T3 near the end of the expac, this goober was dueling lowbies in Goldshire in maybe half T1.

Except this user is right , In vanilla you didn't do this shit, you bunched up and the moment that add popped you went nuclear trying to get the tag. It was a fucking feeding frenzy. The thing is, you made friends that way too. Two people waiting long enough would get to talking and start questing together. You would also occasionally explore a bit to try later, stumbling on other quests or interesting locations.

This shit is so forced it's sickening, and there is no point in exploring since the vast majority of the autistic fucks currently playing know the zone like the back of their hand.

Too bad you don't have any. I'll check on streamers vods.

Ninja looting Dal'Rend is a little different than killing a quest mob in a starting zone, and if you can't tell the difference you are an actual idiot.

Was it really like that in Vanilla though? I started with TBC, which shouldn't be too different from 1.12 and multiple people could interact with 1 NPC just fine.

>This shit is so forced it's sickening
Why does it upset so much that people want to bring a little order into the anarchy of blobbing the quest mob? Does it anger you that they're talking and having fun? Help me understand my man.

It's mob spawns, not talking to NPCs

nope, whitemane us

>making a queue in a video game is fun

>roll on Rattlegore because the queues on every other server are 4+ hours
>end up grouping with a few randoms to tag mobs
>end up questing with them till level 8 before we all log off for bed

Was comfy as fuck.

The point is, you fucking dingus, is that people remember if you slight them. Someone might not care, and someone might care enough to make a note of it. It happened before, from stealing nodes to being just a plain fuckwad in a group. If you want to risk it, risk it.

>raid loot is the same as a lvl 5 zombie
>implying people will pass up on a tank/ help on an elite quest ("INV") because of this

>Why does it upset so much that people want to bring a little order into the anarchy of blobbing the quest mob

It isn't fun. People still talked and had fun when blobbing, way more fun, actually.

Doesn't it say a lot about modern WOW that people would rather stand in a fucking line for hours in Classic than play the main game?
I wonder how Blizzard feels about this

Is there anything enforcing them to wait in line politely? How come none of them dick out and just pass everyone is this a pvp zone and everyone will rape him?

>Why does it upset so much that people want to bring a little order into the anarchy of blobbing the quest mob?

You can talk and have fun without acting like a bunch of faggots. The blitz was fun, it sucks in the beginning but eventually you get one and you feel on top. It's not like it goes any slower than the line either, simple mathematics dictates that much.

same; ally or horde?

it is, if larping as a teenager with a bunch of thirty year olds is your kind of fun. classic is basically a bunch of people forcing themselves to interact politely with one another: it'll burn out real quick and people will be calling each other libtards and niggers really quick

It's not fun to you? All right, I get it. Maybe it's fun to them though? If you're unable to understand why some people might find that kind of social experience fun, then you're a legitimate, socially-inept autist.

based stalagg chads dont need lines

you're still waiting for it, one way or the other

What if all the line cutters get together and form a guild? Problem solved. I hate that 'the people' are trying to dictate how others should play a game they paid for with their own money.

>If you're unable to understand why some people might find that kind of social experience fun, then you're a legitimate, socially-inept autist.
yeah the user is autistic and not the people paying $15 and waiting for hours to wait even longer in a line for a quest mob. those guys are mentally sound

You're a dumb, the people taking screenshots to mark people on their petty shitlist are genuinely autistic and should not be allowed to interact socially with other human beings.

If you think making a virtual queue is fun you're autistic

Horde, Rattlegore.

Deathknell was a fucking mosh pit of undead newbies zoning in. Complete and utter chaos. People weren't even bothering with the supplies quest because it was taking 5+ minutes for one box to spawn, only for 5 people to race to loot it first.

plenty of other things like starwars galaxies existed before WoW came out. What WoW did was manage to invest so much into marketing that it pulled in the pleb audience that was untapped revenue like call of duty did.

it actually kinda bothers me people with this kind of opinion keep acting like WoW was the only game ever made during that time, not that it was the one that managed to pull in the casual nongamer market it wasnt actually a very good game. There were better that go unacknowledged only because many babies only experienced WoW before runescape or other better stuff.

Imagine if there was no layering. You would have people dying in line waiting for that mob.

If I had taken any pics during the stress tests I would’ve posted them now.
I really didn’t spend much time in the tests mainly because the chat made me so fucking depressed.

It's fucking vanilla WoW in 2019, anyone playing this shit is autistic.

Just bummed that it turned out Rattlegore was a west coast server. Was really aiming for an EST server for the sake of eventual raid time schedules. But who knows. We'll see.

I mean, you had two courses of action, try to argue that somehow not playing the game and sitting in a line with your thumb up your ass and hand on your dick is actually good, or you could just be a fag. You chose the second option, which was the smart choice since you're good at it and it's easier.

That's the most autistic shit I've seen in a good long while. People are really playing it like it's a fantasy DMV simulator.

other games were designed like WRPG, and not very accessible (eg, Ultima Online, Everquest, SWG). WoW made them accessible without being casual.

If that's your definition of socializing then I think we all know who the real virgin is.

WoW was ultra casual for its time

hey runescape had questing where you had to gather supplies to complete the thing. Like rope, a bucket, etc. For what it was, I have yet to see a modern day mmo not be a chore where you grind by fetch quests and boar till you can do “end game” content. The fact that WoW is literally 90% grind worth of content and then 10% content people actually want to play is what people consider amazing. Guildwars made content feel great all the way through, but that was more of a coop story game than an mmo.

>World of Waitcraft
This is legitimately what I always called it when it was still relatively new. Whenever I saw my friend “playing” it, it seemed he was just waiting around for the other players in his guild to show up.

reminder that anyone bitching about queue times is literally autistic
every single mmo has login issues at launch/expansions. it's because servers are designed to hold high traffic, not literally 20x or more the usual traffic.

Why not just slaughter some boars or other useless shit? These quests barely give XP anyway.

Boars have queues too with how many people kills them and how many they have to kill too

they wont in a few weeks

Then make a group and farm ones two levels above you, probably outside the 1-5 zone.

There's a core of wow players here that's absolutely obsessed with FFXIV. It's unreal

I think it's safe to say if somebody tries to talk about WoW like he knows shit and gets one of the most basic functions completely wrong, he's probably from FFXIV.

I never thought I would see historical revisionism applied to a fucking videogame but I guess 2019 is just full of surprises

Yeah this shit is bizarre; I dunno if that line shit is a PvE server thing but on PvP servers you spammed /invite on everyone in a 25m radius while keeping your pet on aggressive or your /tar [quest mob] /cast [rank 1 instant spell]

Felt fucking fantastic to get the tag on a mob right after some asshole declines your invite

Most people that plays FFXIV don't care about WoW desu senpai

pretty sure "magic of classic" is just people talking and co-operating out in the world, but of course r*ddit makes it fucking cringe

Now what?

>>clear a challenging dungeon with fuckton of mechanics
He's right you know any M+ dungeon from retail shits all over classic boss mechanics hell even raid mechanics are inferior to retail's M+ mechanics.

The server is too big for this. You are having 6 hour wait times to log in showing tens of thousands of people still trying to get in. It's so large that there is a solid chance you and none of those people will ever see that player again. This isn't some private server with 1k people bro

Yeah, I did it too. Sarkoth. Except there were 90% less people at release, so it was much more manageable. People started forming lines because due to the clusterfuck of people nobody could see shit or even loot anything. I saw one line form, only to devolve into a blob because some dumbass tried (and failed) to steal the mob, and then the line formed again. It's dumb, but it's the best alternative if you want the quest done. There's just too many people. It's a victim of its own popularity.

I get why you'd cut in a virtual line, I really do. But when I think about these people in an actual real life line and not having the balls to cut there, it just seems so fucking pathetic. Like cutting in line in an online video game is the revenge of some bullied, milquetoast nerd jocks used to shove into lockers.

Hope you faggots are happy with your choice of hairstyle by the way. Because you're stuck with it for about four years unless you shell out real money or delete your character and start over.
What? You DON'T want to look like a clown? Sorry. Looking like a clown is part of the Classic experience. The ability to not look like a mismatched retard didn't come until 4.3. Never ever.
Hey Hordies, how the fuck are you holding up by the way? Must suck, having your Orcish Horde be populated mostly by fucking zombies. At least it's not ladded by elves though! You guys are doing great.
What's that Alliance? You miss your gypsy goat booty? Oh noooo, that suuuucks.

Hey, while I'm here though, can anyone lend me 2 gold?
What? Nooooo? You can't? Oh fuck. I wanted to buy a bag or two. Oh well, guess I'll run back to the nearest settlement and free up four bag slots because the rest of my inventory is filled with quest items.
So fucking fun! Such quality! It's so good to be back /home/ bros! Look at what we've been missing!

Lets be honest, despite Waterworld being a shit movie it would make a pretty cool game, probably better than WeW.

Which is hilarious, because there'll be no one playing it. Nobody to fellate your blood elf or draenei futa in Goldshire, nobody to jerk you off over your mount or pet collection.

I fucking hate my life. Took me nearly fucking 2 Goddamn hours to connect to the game then had to wait in line in-game for another fucking hour. Once I killed the retarded boss Windows 10 thought NOW would be the best time to automatically update without me having any input and gave me choice of "Update now" or "Automatically updating in 10 minutes". I couldn't control jack shit except watch the 10 minute timer go down or press "update now"

He's right, you know

>People were literally cheering there were no more draenei.

Show three examples.
I've never seen anyone but salty fags mad about a WCIII retcon complain about Draenei.
Horde complaining about Belfs, sure, since they basically overran the Horde and killed it's identity with a former Alliance race tinted green, but Draenei females were always more or less adored since it's the closest WoW ever came to Tiflings. Hell, Draenei make up the bulk of WoW porn, that alone attests to their popularity as at least something pretty to look at.

>shameless self promotion

>Shame it isn't WI-FI eaneabled.

I know that reference, and I hate you for mentioning it

You do realize this is all a ploy by Blizzard to start pulling more subs back into retail, right?
For every nostalgia driven boomer who wanted this, there will be ten zoomers who quit in three days because they can't handle it, and then say fuck it and go see what's going on in retail because they already paid for the month anyway.

Yea Forums and reddit are basically the same at this point. Shame, really. used to NOT be this way, on either site.

>I've never seen anyone but salty fags mad about a WCIII retcon complain about Draenei.
Which is most of the WoW community? Since it is a huge retcon and a very, very bad one for no reason?

I played a draenei and fapped to her regularily but I can still see how bad the retcon was and how they didn't fit. Would be great if Classic+/New TBC didn't include them.

not him but since my sub also pays for retail, i gave bfa another chance and it just felt like ash in my mouth

it's not even a bad expansion; mostly the same as legion, just without the legendaries, but somehow completely devoid of soul. it's a bad mmo

Shared tagging means you don't have to party up with anyone to mitigate issues like this. Retailfags don't like this old system because it emphasizes the "multiplayer" portion of MMORPG.

It's not sharding if it only splits into four shards.

>Which is most of the WoW community? Since it is a huge retcon and a very, very bad one for no reason?

The fact that you think most of the WoW community even played WCIII shows how out of fucking touch you are.

The Forzen Throne sold under two millon copies compared to what, the 12 millon subs the game had by the time WotLK launched?

>Hell, Draenei make up the bulk of WoW porn, that alone attests to their popularity as at least something pretty to look at.

lmao, they finally filtered jizzbrain did they

What generation is the processor? I just bought a 7th gen laptop and it took me two days to install Windows 7 on it since all the drivers are windows 10 only. Worth it.

why is no one sniping the mobs? is it illegal?

Never waited in lines in Vanilla. I do remember making a:
/target
/cast

Macro, setting it to the mousewheel, and having no problems getting quest mobs from the swarm

>Would be great if Classic+/New TBC didn't include them.

Nope. If Classic launches as it was with only minor behind the scenes tweaks, so to must any future expansions they do. Like it or not, that's fair. To demand otherwise would make Classic players look like massive hypocrites.

>Retailfags don't like this old system because it emphasizes the "multiplayer" portion of MMORPG.
And it's exactly why I'm loving classic. Puts the social aspect back into the world. I've talked to more new people and made more new contacts in the last five hours of classic than I ever did in Legion or BFA, and I honestly did try. People just don't see the need to befriend others.

Nothing holding them back but social conventions.

You still had people respecting the lore though and I mean the Draeneis of Burning Crusade were even without any knowledge of WCIII incredibly bad storywise.
I mean they crashed on to Azeroth with a literal spaceship. The first time I heard that I thought they are just Protoss with a different name.
Not to mention that those official sales for frozen throne are misleading. Especially since we talk about a time were lending games was quite normal. My version of frozen throne for example is a used one that I bought years ago from amazon. Doesn't really count as a "sale" for blizzard.

>To demand otherwise would make Classic players look like massive hypocrites.
Nah. If the reason they like Classic is because of a certain design philosophy and an expansion threw away that philosophy then it would be reasonable to still want the expansion but in a manner that fits with the original they love so mcuh.

Max. lvl 18 right now, hurry up scrubs!

Retailcucks. What do you expect?

I don't mind the lines, I mind that there are people who will screen shot someone who just walks to the front of it, spreads their name around, and blackballs them from the game because they chose to play a different way than the 'mob'. It's rude to cut a line, but it's even more ass-hole like to try to ruin the rest of their wow experience for doing so. Besides, the old FFA way sounds way more fun. Line sounds cringe and boring as fuck

And what about the people who loved the design philosophy of an expansion?
Fuck them?
Their love for something doesn't count? Only yours?

>paying for a shitty chatroom

>better than wow
lol no

some other user already explained that due to the massive amounts of players, lines are more functional than blobbing because you can't actually loot when there's 50 people on top of the corpse and refuse to move just to spite you

if there's 10-15 people, just form three groups and blob it

just woke up
i have the queue time to decide whether to play warlock or mage

They didn't. Everything blizzard did after vanilla was at best tolerable with the excuse of "new content" and "balancing."

It was expected. First week will be shit until population evens out and dies down. Blizzard is well aware of this.

There's literally a GM enforcing a rule that doesn't exist, and punishing people for ""cutting in line"". One of them fucking killed me just for running through the cave to get to the other side, and auto-hearthed me back to the spawn.

Question for Classicfags.
If you love the design of Classic so much, why did you all use mods back then?
Why are so many of you clamouring for them now?

Doesn't that defeat the point?

lol did he get booted from the server and forced into the que?

In your opinion. You do not speak for everyone. Nobodh does. We aren't a hivemind.

I used a minimal amount of addons needed for raiding like a threat meter, plus something to keep my bags in order.

The quartz cast bar is leauges above the original cast bar. Fucker!

>competition
>staying in line without free pvp
kek

Look around all you want. It started already with the night elves in vanilla even. People complaining that they are not portrayed correctly. But it was kinda "accepted" because balancing.
This was always a hot topic in the past. For example. The same goes later with Draenei or the need for special faggy classes like the death knight and if they are even needed....

But those go against Classic's design philosophy.
You are intensed to manually organize your bags.
You are intended to raid without mods.
Everything you need to be successful and self-sufficient has already been provided to you by Blizzard in the base games.
Installing a mod to add a new feature to the game that makes your life "Easier" is no different from future expansions where Blizzard did the exact same.

"why do you put y on your x if you like x so much?"

I recall comments from the dev team noting that a "medium" population server is already far higher than a high population server back in Vanilla ever was. Part of the reason you're seeing lines and queues is because there are just more people period.

I didn't use any mods back then. There were some I think. But most didn't use mods I believe.

>You are intended to raid without mods.
Well this seems weird considering mods aren't banned outright

But mods are an acknowledgement that the base game is flawed and has room for improvement.
Classic is flawless and nothing should be changed. Not by Blizzard and not by the players themselves.
If you all truly cared, truly believed in the classic experience, you would all do yourselves a favor and discard your mods this time. You aren't truly playing vanilla with them on.

>You are intended to raid without mods
even the precursor MMO's raid designs to warcraft assumed fully that the player would (and should) be using external sources to keep track of events during an encounter

every single one of your posts reeks of american education

>I recall comments from the dev team
I don't give a shit what nu-blizzard says to be honest. Almost all talented people already left the company. What you have from Blizzard today are always very cheap excuses nothing else.
I remember in the past you had servers that were literally falling apart because of playercount. Some raids of cities you went outside and you saw thousands upon thousands of players.

I seriously don't remember ever waiting in lines like this back when I played Vanilla

Attached: 1557819891013.jpg (2053x1079, 720K)

There were less people in vanilla at launch so blobbing was more effective.

Me neither. I did remember waiting for some quests but never with so many players. Thing is blizzard just didn't offer enough server to play in and instead went for layering. Its like they want classic to fail.

But it is a widely accepted fact that the increase in mod use and necessity over the years has led to an increase in mechanic bloat and balancing issues in raid encounters as developers always need to balance around popular mods, and not their own in game systems.
Why is it so hard for you to accept that mods are one of the reasons why classic evolved into what it did in future expansions to begin with?

Friend and I did some mob sniping on a line for about 2 hours. Setup macros and everything, then we started racketeering. It was fun.

Pick a server that isn't full and you should be good to go.

t. never did nefarian, c'thun or literally anything in naxxramas in-era

even basic shit like geddon, shazzrah and onyxia nearly demanded the raid-wide use of addons to 'simplify' the fight, since half your raid force would on average be incompetent enough to always fuck up the fight otherwise

i remember how fucking revolutionary it was when we actually had semi-functional rough drafts of an aggro meter introduced to public use and how much of an eye-opener it was for how shitty your tanks or how greedy your DPS were being, and why you were always fucking up on parts of a raid because of it

>the increase in mod use and necessity over the years has led to an increase in mechanic bloat and balancing issues
this is true to an extent, but it has more to do with the developers being caught in a feedback loop of trying to jump the shark more impressively than the last with every new implementation

i think what you've done is adopted a dislike for mods in general due to how the devs would often see a semi-commonly used mod feature and think that it's something that needs to be the new base formula rather than just a component of a whole - which is something they've shamelessly done time and time again when it comes to assimilating other people's mod work into game features to give you the soulless blob that the game (and genre) has become due to it
