    Hey just wanted to give a few words about the video. Obviously I get into some pretty nasty stuff here. Toxicity isn't something I generally like to hang around because it usually just breeds and festers even more toxicity. That being said, I have about 300ish videos(at least) about classic so far, most of them sharing what I like about the game and what it does well. Over the past year some of these things were reinforced, and others....not so much. The community in particular, while it can be great, can also be REALLY bad - it's something I've been wanting to talk about for a while but took me about 10 months to be able to put it together in a way I wanted to. My past 3 months ranking also really opened up my eyes to how bad it can really get. I'm pretty proud of the channel overall not only for the (generally) positive community who follows it, but also because I share honestly what I think are the game's highlights and lowlights, and I'd be remiss if I only talk about the good and ignore the bad.
    All that being said, as I said in the video I made lots of great friends in the game. I still think the community is one of its best aspects - but it's just like real life. For every great person you meet, there are many more you want nothing to do with - it's just amplified 10x due to the anonymity of it all. I tried to make the video mostly constructive, but also a bit entertaining(hopefully) so if nothing else you can walk away with a few laughs at the craziness that can go on.
    That's about it - just wanted to include this little write-up since it's probably the most spicy video I've ever posted on here(or maybe it was my "Most Disappointing Moments" video? idk). Hope you enjoy regardless.

      I don't agree with your statement on bracket breakers and ninja looters.
      1) Bracket Breakers. There are 2 aspects to this. 1, is that in my experience, the pvp stacking systems that servers create are inherently fair, because all it takes is 1 person to break brackets for the whole system to collapse. Therefore, the breakers usually have some kind of agenda or motive or even just plain paranoia which I believe justifies actions. 2, that is getting to rank 14 is a huge time investment for many people especially in more highly populated servers. If you spend 14 hours a day ranking, only to find out that it has to be extended by 2 weeks because someone broke, it's entirely understandable if you freak out IMO. Not to the extent of doxxing someone, but everything in game is IMO fair play.
      2) Ninja looters. Similar to the above, the looting system in classic is fair. If you can't be trusted to play fair, then yes, why shouldn't people announce that you're an asshole?
      All in all, I don't think the "its just a game bro" argument cuts it. How much time, energy and emotion you invest into an activity plays a part on how mad you will get if things go wrong, and plenty of people freak out over other real life activities too like sports. That doesn't justify RL actions like doxxing, yes, but anything in game is fair play to me. If you're an asshole in game, then you deserve to be shunned like one, like in real life.

    Back before I had my own credit card and my parents didnt want to use theirs for my sub, I needed to use prepaids. I was told that playing games and buying a sub was a waste of money. Even for a kid that didnt do drugs, smoke, or party, but I didn't care. So whenever I'd go out on my bike/parent's car for a "trip to the mall", I'd go to the bank, then game stop, get a prepaid card with the cash, then go to the place I said I'd go. Give it an hour, come back, put the code in, and play. I knew tossing the cards in the trash that they would eventually notice, so I used one of those metal containers that looks like a book and stuffed the cards inside. I did this for years for multiple games (WoW, Runescape, Wizard101) and I still have the damn cards.

      I paid for my addiction by using FAFSA money that I got for going to the local community college and also from selling textbooks back to the student store when I didn't need them anymore. One time I was like a dollar short for a game card at the mall. I solicited some random middle-aged guy for a buck and he seemed really suspicious about why I wanted it. I said that I needed to make a phone call... in 2008 or 2009, maybe. He kind of reluctantly parted with his dollar and I went off somewhere to disappear for a bit before buying a game card at Game Stop. I was scared he might see me!

      I mean that's the sad reality, anyone who has ran a guild that has gotten into tough times (or just ever-looming decline) will know that intimately. You gotta make things work or they'll just fall apart, even if it means making hard calls.
      Anyway, can't really tell much about your case, it seems the GM has gone too far but in my experience these situations are just the final straw, the devil is in the details and the attitude and usually these feelings build up over a long time. Most problematic people don't see themselves as a (big) problem since in their mind their aproach is the ideal one.

    Story time!
    When I started playing WoW in TBC I leveled mostly solo until I met an undead Warrior named Grim who was leveling in Hellfire. We instantly became friends and he asked me if I wanted to join this guild he was a part of called The Broken. Real life was not going well at that point in time for me so I decided what the hell why not. To this day I do not regret that decision. I found a family in that guild that I have never experienced online since. Eli and her Husband ran the guild. They had children in RL but to me it seemed like they genuinely cared for everyone like we were part of their family as well. I became friends with a druid name Dia and bonded with many others. None of us really knew anything but we enjoyed questing and leveling and helping one another out. I was one of the first to hit 70 in that guild and many would soon follow me. Everyone worked together to get everyone to 70 so we could all be 70 together. I got the feeling that, while no one really talked about it, some of us were playing WoW as a way to dodge things in real life that we didn't want to deal with or were not happy with. WoW was our escape and the guild was a social environment we could all lean on.
    About 4 months later we had enough people at level 70 to step into raiding and a Hunter in the guild named Max was very keen to attempt Kara. So everyone discussed it and decided we would give it a try for Max and to see what it was like. Our first raid night came and went and all we succeeded at doing was clearing trash to Maiden and wiping on her quite a bit. I think that night it was made apparent to Max that our guild was not destined to be a raid clearing one. We were not raid clearing god gamers. A lot of us were not good at WoW or games in general. We were just a handful of nerds who bonded by having fun experiencing and screwing around in a fantasy video game online together. I'm not really sure why but if I had to guess a raid night was never setup again because of our poor performance and because most of us didn't have any interest in doing it ever again.
    A few months later Eli and her Husband announced to the guild that they were going to stop playing WoW. They had children to raise and couldn't justify spending the time or money they had on the game anymore. We all understood but it was still sad to see them go. A few days before they were to stop playing I remember a guild meeting was held between all the officers to decide who would take over leadership. I was not an officer so I did not attend it. I logged on after the meeting had been held and was standing in Org when Dia immediately invited me to a group and him and a few others who I was close with in the guild rushed to me. A decision had been made and some core members had chimed in and it was decided that I should take over as the GM if I wanted to otherwise Max would become our leader. This was a huge shock to me and I was deeply humbled by it. I was very young though and I did not want the responsibility of this role in the guild at the time as I was running from responsibilities in real life. I did not feel prepared for it and ultimately in the end I turned it down.
    You see I dont think I fully realized it at the time but Max and I represented two different futures for the guild. Max had continued to advocate for progression and raiding after our failed Kara run. He had plans to recruit more people who could play better and progress while most of us wanted nothing to do with progression. All we wanted was a chill place to hangout, have fun and help one another. This chill environment is what I represented. From day one I had helped with every group quest and dungeon that people in guild had asked for help with. I enjoyed helping guild mates with stuff and I enjoyed spending time talking to them.
    After Max assumed lead and Eli and her husband stopped playing it didnt take long for the guild to start under going changes. No one was forced to raid but Max recruited other people who did want to and it became clear that The Broken was no longer a place to just chill and hang out. Most of our core members left the guild within a month, myself included. The Broken we knew was no more. I dont blame Max for this and I still think the decision I made was the right one at the time. I do sometimes wonder about what could have been if I had decided to accept leadership for the guild though. One thing I never understood though was why Max decided that remaking The Broken from within was a better idea then just starting his own guild. It was clear that most of us were happy just having fun doing whatever we wanted. He was a minority to the point that only him and one maybe two others in our original guild wanted to raid and progress and yet he still chose to use The Broken as his raiding guild. One thing I know for sure though is that to this day I have yet to find that same sense of community on the scale that The Broken had under Eli and her husbands leadership. I played WoW for a few years after that but mostly found myself playing only with Dia or by myself as friends who left The Broken slowly began to leave the game. Dia found a new guild in Wrath and I eventually joined it and we made some new friends but ultimately it fell apart and not long after I wound up leaving WoW behind before Cata launched.
    I'm not really sure if there is a point or lesson to be learned from this story but this video stirred my memory of it up for some reason and I felt the need to share.
    If anything maybe it highlights the fact that not everyone plays games for the same reasons and our actions in online communities might impact others we know nothing about in ways we can't even begin to comprehend. I think the gaming community as a whole from low to high skill levels and across every genre of game can do a lot better at respecting others in the communities we play in and trying to think about how we are interacting with others online from other peoples perspectives.

    I didn't play Classic when it came out, I played BC. I remember in my guild and community raiding and all that was secondary to just hanging out, doing fun stuff together in the world for no benefit but fun. I was excited to relive that when Classic came out but all I found were gate keeping min-maxing try hards. I got really sick of how awful the community was and how it felt more like I was playing keep up with everyone else or be shunned rather than just enjoying playing with one another.
    It put me off Classic entirely and I don't think I'll be coming back to it. I'll try BC when it comes out because that was peak for me, but my excitement is more worry now for what trying to relive my old experience will actually feel like.

      Very true. Playing as a 30 year old it is just simply different than when I was 14. You grow up, have played a variety of games, had more experiences etc. Even my nephews who are 10 and 14 approach the game different as they are young. Nothing wrong with that but playing a game you once did 16 years ago will feel different in many ways.

      @OfficialTommyEch Před 3 lety +12

      The main problem, imo, is that vanilla wow hit during a time when information was still scarcely shared through the internet. Few people knew about Thotbot for instance. If they released a "new" first expandion, aka tbc replacement ontop of vanilla, did not include any data registration of it prior to release, and kept it a secret, finally fillled the content with tons of secrets that dont appear in data mining, we would experience how the content would feel when it is unknown to everyone. This is imo the essence of vanilla wow; information came through word of mouth, and the world itself felt dangerous and unexplored to most people :-)

    Reminds me of one of the main reasons I quit before the Panda's got introduced. Started feeling too much like a job. I did jump back on for classic, but I guess I filtered out the bad stuff because while I enjoyed leveling like I remembered the end game wasnt nearly as much fun as I thought it would be or remembered it to be.. Like losing every AV for an entire day because the server is so imbalanced, the hours spent prepping for a raid, the infighting. So I quit again, only to decide to start up a subscription for the long weekend. Picked the lowest pop server and rolled a new character. And I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Sure zones are ghost towns, but as more of a solo gamer I'm enjoying the exploring, atmosphere, quest lines and complete lack of pressure to "be the best" or rush to any accomplishment.

    World buff meta is literally the stupidest shit ever. Spend hours collecting all the various buffs and not being able to log onto the character to save them for the raid purely to clear it 20 minutes faster than you would with no world buffs. Makes absolutely zero sense and people get so spergy about it. You spend less time on the raid if you JUST RAID. All those hours spent collecting buffs is literally counter productive. YES the raid time will be faster, but overall you've spend hours of extra time just to brag about your clear time on reddit.

Maybe I should not have called him a cry baby, but that is how he was acting. A few minutes later, he whispered me and said "I finished the quest, so you can do it in about 15 minutes, you cry baby.

      This is why mainstream popular games like league and wow will always have the worst, disgustingly low iq people you can find. Unironically. I think I still keep some SoD chat logs from 6 months ago, some random mage malding that I fairly won the Feline Mantle as the group Priest, which gives 10 intelligence and 3 spirit. To the mage, that was completely unacceptable, as the item clearly was designed for dps casters, and not healers, because the shoulders have way more intellect than spirit. I calmly tell him it's literally phase 1, the shoulders are literally on my pre-BFD bis list and I've been standing here for an entire day farming it just like every other caster that did. Actually it was my 3rd consecutive day of running SFK because nothing I needed dropped, and I needed like 3-4 items from that dungeon, but that's besides the point.
      He went on a tantrum spiral about how I was manipulating the whole thing with false bis lists, how he has been playing wow for years and he KNOWS spirit is for healers and intellect is for dps casters (completely untrue, healers use intellect a lot, especially in classic where mana pools are small), and how I was a filthy newbie casual to wow not knowing how the stats work and how I should've just "played retail as my first wow experience, it's made for brainless kids like you anyway". I was just curious how would a noob know to manipulate people with false bis lists when they would have no clue what a BiS list even is, or what items to put in there? Oh, the mage was also the worst DPS we had in the group by far, we just tolerated them up to that point where he just sat in the corner like a child, sulking about losing the roll and how the whole party was scamming him. Threatening to report everyone and write our names in the server discord. I don't think he ever did, must've felt huge shame after he left.

      It goes both ways. I'm on a pretty sweaty server but a pretty dad guild (though some would consider my guild still fairly sweaty--two scarab lords, two raid groups, killed C'Thun week 1, but by my server's standards we're definitely on the more casual side), and we don't require world buffs but I always get them because I think it makes this trivial content more fun to have the fear of dying and to just get to delete shit and see big numbers... but then on the flip side I have a guildmate who for some reason is very upset about people getting them and really is annoyed that we 'allow' people to get them. Then most of the sweaty guilds on my server will do cringey stuff like link people's parses to make fun of them. In my opinion, the game is inherently casual so you should just play it the way you want, but if you're trying to insult or mock or just be a degenerate about the way other people play the game it's really asinine and cringey.

    In guild chat last week, a guy who didn't have a 60 in the guild got into an argument with the raid leader about whether or not to use dynamite on Viscidius. He argued that casting dynamite cost .3 more seconds than using a GCD and that if everyone would just attack or use a spell that it would be more optimal. But he wouldn't let it go. A guy not even involved in the raid was unwilling to tolerate anyone in his periphery not playing in what he believed to be the optimal way. That kind of attitude is exactly why Classic is so toxic: people believe that the optimal way to play the game is the ONLY way to play the game.

I can see how, if these things are true, the guy would have been upset. Not at you refusing to change your play style, but rather for your attitude about people needing to do it specifically your way, weather your way is wrong or not.

      @@vitorsantos3971 You just made Dutchman's point abundantly clear. xD The thing that made MMORPG's stand out from the standard game is the fact you can communicate with other players and actually enjoy the game socially. Judging by your comment I'm assuming you're used to everyone being dead silent, but I'm not. I always used to stand around in MMO's just chatting & actually making friends and THEN going on quests/adventures. Making friends is not cringe, taking the game too seriously & thinking you're above everyone because you "ride solo" is cringe.

Kill but as lower rated you can't trash talk anyone and get away. That's why Vanilla PvP sucks no rating. World PvP is stupid anyway 90% of time it's completely unfair as someone either has no cooldowns or gear. Majority of people that gank are those who can't climb in rating. Yeah some gladiator may kill you if you get close to him but all rogues that gank qesting zones or camp portal in MaW and Zerath Mortis all day are below 1800. I look Armory of every single Rogue that ever ganks me and emotes then call them out i never seen high rated Rogue gank anyone they are all in Oribos spamming Arena all day and climbing.

You also gear up faster because there is less people to roll with. It does take away some of the pride you had in each consecutive tier of gear, but at the same time more people are getting to experience all of the content, you got time to experience more than one class, and you can do it all on your schedule, like a real game is supposed to be played.

I've encountered people who hate casuals so much that they unironically idolized the nolifer existence and wish the game was inaccessible to anyone who couldn't dedicate all their time to it.

In classic I met some of my best friends in the game hours into my experience, and I saw them in the later zones i was leveling in! I was reconnected with the people I had memories with, in retail questing is boring, its super easy, quick and mind numbing. in classic I actually had fun while leveling because i made unique and interesting connections in the game that i will cherish for the rest of my wow career! Hell i kept a wool bag someone I met in the wetlands made for me as a gift for helping him, even though it is useless to me now. The game is more community driven, and while that community can be very toxic, it can also be a very welcoming and fun community to be a part of.

I rejoined for classic and instantly was out within the month as there is no community like the old days; there never will be.

    Well I'll add my story for all to see. I first started playing right when WotLk was in beta. I picked a Troll Warrior and had fun for quite awhile. I still remember loving that I had a kendo sword I found as a rare drop. I stopped playing though after my first dungeon. I rolled as a Tank and got insulted and kicked on the first boss. It turned me off from the game so bad that I just didn't want to play. I tried again during Cata because Blizzard sent me an email offering a month free and WotLK expansion for free. I tried it out again and this time played a Troll Druid. I played the entire game avoiding dungeons because of my experience. I did do some PVP and that was fun. I tried dungeons again because of the positive experience. I got insulted and kicked out because i had PVP gear. Haven't played since then. I'm too casual for rank PVP and unrank was getting boring. Dungeons proved to be too toxic and the guild I was apart of was having a power struggle so only people who picked a side played together.

      It happens a lot, just a few hours earlier I did a raid in lfr (looking for raid) as a healer. They had a few attempts already, and when we tried the boss after I joined we died pretty early because of people being unaware of the mechanics. As I died early I got blamed for it, getting ganged up on for joining as healer but "going afk"
      In those cases it's really tempting to leave, but I stuck with it knowing I did nothing wrong (and luckly not getting vote kicked). When we finished after some more people left and got replaced, I was second on healing.

    There is a translation error in the french version of the game that was likely corrected in BC, the expansion where I started. Instead of saying "Increases the damages for spells and magical effects", it says "Increases spell damage and healing done", and of course it doesn't increase healing as it says. I play a priest and in a whole year, nobody told me that I was wrong for rolling on the items that have this line during MC. First BWL we do with half guild/half pickups, an item that is solely made for dps drops and I roll on it because I think that it is good for me. The lootmaster gives it to me without looking, and after a few minutes I start receiving whisp insults from another dps that rolled on it. I tell it to my guild and quiproquo follows because I don't understand what is wrong. Then we realise I didn't know about the translation mistake, and we tell it to the pickups (that were starting to rage) as an explanation and it should have stopped there right ?
    No. For the whole duration of the raid after that, I received insults and mockery in vocal and death threats in whispers. My guild leader and mates didn't try to stop it because it was their first BWL and they didn't want to lose the pickups. I didn't quit because I really wanted to help my guild, not understanding how much they didn't care about me as much as I cared about them, the realisation only happened a few days after that. So for two hours, even if I had played for more than ten years and knew really well how to play, I felt like the shittiest player ever.
    I stopped playing for a few weeks, telling my guild I would come back when I will feel better. That never happened, I never played again and probably never will. I was hyped AF about classic for months, but it all fell down when I realised how toxic the community is. It's not the game that has changed. We changed.

      Jesus, that's horrible. Last year I faced a similar form of verbal abuse. See, I started to play retail WoW with a resto druid after not touching the game for a long period of time. I went to a dungeon while leveling, probably Shadowfang Keep, and told the guys that I was new to resto druids and I still hadn't really figured out the rotations and stuff.
      Anyway, I could heal them quite well for a time, but the tank who was toxic af started to insult me sooo much and for such a long time, that I felt like the worst healer on Mama Azeroth.
      Yep, I know that I was incredibly terrible as a healer, but I was eager to learn and get better, so the toxicity was really unnecessary. The others were really understanding and tried to help me correct my mistakes, we even had a resto druid main in the team who was really helpful. The tank left after some time because we weren't fast and good enough for him and mainly because I was a sh*tty healer (he managed to reassure me in whisper messages, too, even after quitting).
      So in my experience, this game has just as many great people as toxic ones. Through the years I've managed to build a thick skin but I admit, sometimes I too can feel really bad because of these people.
      Just keep going, and find the people worth playing with. ;)
      Side note: The most toxic people in games are sometimes the ones with the biggest frustrations, problems and mental health issues. After overcoming my initial shock and anger after meetig one, I always feel sad for them a little.

    10:13 I think it just becomes a question of, Do they REALLY like getting buffs then raid logging?
    I'm sure there's a tiny tiny amount of people who do, but I think it's fair to point out how massively flawed a game is when a key component of it is.... No playing? And any defense of it basically amounts to stubbornness more than anything.
    And it's a bit of a disingenuous comparison saying in retail you just "maybe need some flasks or potions". If we're talking actual min-maxing, the sheer grind for min-maxing azerite armor traits alone, each patch, is quite excessive as well. Although casually raiding in Classic definitely requires more commitment than casually raiding in retail, just comparing a top end to a low end is a bruh moment.

    As far as the "15 dollars per month thing" goes, I consider "How much quality gameplay/hours of enjoyment do I get per month for this money?"
    If I could pay 15 dollars for random games that gave the same amount of hours per month, of gameplay and fun, as WoW, that'd be the grandest deal on earth.

    Story time:
    Early on in Classic I joined a guild that seemed pretty chill. During leveling it seemed like a really good guild. People were talking anytime of the day, sending memes and having fun discussion in discord.
    Once I reached 60 I joined a Molten Core run. This is when I started to notice how serious people took this game.
    The guild had a excel spreadsheet of the BIS gear for all classes and different pages for each member of the raid. So they knew exactly what you needed and what you had. So if a piece dropped and you thought "Hey this is better than my blue piece!" then think again buckaroo!
    That piece is not BIS and thus it is better for it just to be disenchanted unless it's BIS for another class.
    It really removed the whole idea of it being "my character". I was just playing it but the guild was controlling what I was allowed to wear.
    During one of the runs one of our priests got The Eye of Divinity. I was also playing a priest so was a little disappointed I didn't get it but figured this other guy has been around for longer so he has priority.
    Once the raid is over I got prepared to logout and head to bed. However the raid leader told everyone to stay after the raid to talk.
    He went over how important Benediction would be for us as a guild and that it would make our logs better. So he picked a handful of people (I was one of them) to farm The Eye of Shadow with the Priest who had gotten The Eye of Divinity.
    At this point it was almost midnight and I had work in the morning. I was told that this was for the benefit of the guild and that sacrifices has to be made for the guild.
    I decided to join for about 30 minutes and then I told the group that I was going to bed as I could not afford to be tired during work.
    Around 10 minutes after I logged off I got a message saying I was banned from the Discord. Logging in after work I noticed I was kicked from the guild and was ignored by all of the officers.
    I managed to reach out to one member of the guild who sent me a screenshot of a message that had been posted in the Discord about how people need to take the game seriously. That it's NOT a game for babies who can't put the work in to earn their place.
    After that I managed to find a guild that just raided for the fun of it and didn't care about min maxing. They didn't log their fights and had no requirements on world buffs etc.
    The guild I was originally in is still raiding to this day as far as I'm aware. The Priest who got Benediction quit the guild like a week after he got it. Turned out that being one of the first priests on the server with Benediction opens up a lot of doors to join other guilds that are further along in the gear race.
