Yeah, and then you fight for loot against other warriors who are fucking horrendous 9/10 times. I quit this server mainly because of leveling a warrior, but also for other reasons listed below:
1) I played only warrior since WoW Alpha testing, and it's not even remotely fun here with half the server playing bad DPS warriors and pulling aggro in raids/5mans. I've seen more people blame myself/other tanks for doing bad, when they fucking can't even target the same mob I'm on. Don't even try arguing on this server though, because everyone has "played retail" yet they can't even answer basic questions about vanilla.
2) People on this server have such a rose-tinted outlook on shit like server issues and overall terrible attitudes/mindsets that showcase they never played true retail ....Who the fuck brags about winning a 1v1 in vanilla wow? People do here apparently like its meaningful. Another annoyance was the fact that the server is free and fanboys would use that angle to negate concerns from players about bans or the server being unplayable at times. People used the same fucking excuse on Feenix and where is that at now? TLDR Criticism is good, fanboys are bad.
3) Grinding to the top isn't fun when you can't PvP as melee due to the amazingly high response time during primetime (US west here). This is entirely on my end in a way, and I knew that playing here. I didn't expect it to be so bad though. All the gear you get is fucking pointless if the only thing you do is log in, go to instances, do shit, and log out/alt.
4) Guild Drama. Good fucking lord, guys. I've never seen so many virgins take a game so seriously at stages like the start of Molten Core. You'd think people would just relax and assign loot like rational people, but 9/10 guilds on this server are full of autistic 15-30 year olds (who almost always has some horrendous retail/shitty job and no college degree, or are army "bros") that are out to either shower themselves in loot or anyone who is willing to genuflect to them. At one point in my old guild, they basically tried to offer me officer to stop whining about how shitty their loot council system is. If you can't silence them, welcome them in I guess!
5) The people. Maybe it was my guild, but I quickly realized I had waaaay the fuck more going for me IRL than people did playing this. I'm 26 and in college, so I don't really want to sound like I had insane shit going on compared to others, but every time I logged on I noticed people would be logged in for several hours and then after a while I realized I was spending quite a bit of time online as well. Everyone I talked to was either in classes still or stuck in some shitty job, when I kinda had multiple opportunities IRL socially/academically. It also doesn't help that some of the people playing private servers are sketch as fuck..........All I'll say in closing is that during retail, I never had to hear dudes older than my dad talking about doing lines of coke at 3AM on Teamspeak with their family to keep raiding. Maybe that's something unique to here, IDK.
Sorry for the long read, but I figured someone would relate. If not fuck it, it only took 15 minutes to type.
P.S. The only reason I visit here is I still have a few friends who play here, and might return after I finish classes this Spring. That, and as a fellow admin/game dev it's entertaining to watch the admin's implementation of stuff,and how the community reacts to it.
