You will never be questing in stranglethorn vale on your first character only to get ganked, then you call for help and gank the bitch back, until eventually a bunch of max level players are engaging in all out war.

WoW has truly ruined all other MMO's for me, those glorious days of being a noob in Azeroth are long gone but never forgotten.

Raid 2 at about 10, drink a couple guinesses whilst I cleanse and /follow (paladin)
Victory trip to burger king or wendys, somekind of triple quaterpounder type sandwich with fries
Go home
Go on yahoo chat, try to pick up underage fat girls or desperate up all night playing majong older women
Sometimes meet up around 4 or 5

Vanilla was a mess in many ways, but there's a reason it's remembered and praised a fuckload more than any WoW expansion.

Sort of like GW2 at its release- chaotic, unbalanced as hell, and without satisfying amount of content, but it was just ideal to just log in and spend some good time with other people.

Sure, blizzard pulled out some fucked up shit im telling ya during cataclysm, but im not really mad, and just grateful for being able to experience crusade and wotlk first-hand. Probably my favorite time of my life, come to think of it. Nobody expected anything from me irl, and playing wow was just fun as fuck.

desu, the second wow failed was dungeon finder. getting a good or bad reputation on your server could be a killer or get you an invite to the best guild. Dungeon Finder across servers ruined that.

I really wish player perception and game knowledge could be reset back to those times too for private servers, there are these little modern behaviours and perceptions that make it through and hamper them a little.

Good jokes, arena was the origin of the term welfare epics since you could lose 10 games a week and still buy amazing weapons.

>>380911372
so that's what this child's play is.

>>380910812
Im going up in there

>>380917591
Welfare epics referred to being able to do literally anything and get epic gear, something that didn't happen until wrath started handing out points for running dungeons or doing quest. Even if you lost in arena in TBC, you couldn't use any of the gear you could buy unless your rating was high enough, which meant you had to win and actually put in effort.

>>380917954
I found a ring in 'ere last night

I GOT A RING UP ERE LAST NIGHT

>>380917984
You know, except at the start of TBC when the term was coined and neither weapons or armor had requirements. People would literally queue into arena, fuck around and get their 10 games and eventually buy a weapon.

The entire reason why gear eventually got requirements.

I'm talking about epics you'd actually give a shit about at max level. Ok sure you had things like tier wrists and a couple other things. But in TBC you had so many endgame worthy epics just there for the taking. But you have a point.

People who cry about "welfare epics" being something that didn't stain the game until WotLK or later didn't fucking play the game pre-WotLK.

>>380926401
I played the game since Vanilla beta, and "welfare" epics weren't called "welfare epics" until Wrath when you practically got points just for logging in.

that Polearm > Quest Axe, marginally.

That said arguing about low level loot is pointless since it will likely get replaced within 10 levels, bar some pre-raid BiS gear.

>>380926654
Doesn't matter what they were called. Running casual dungeons or buying them off the AH qualifies as welfare. Not that I give a shit. I think people with their panties in a bunch over item name colors are retarded. But the idea that casuals couldn't get amazing epics before WotLK or later are either lying or ignorant or weren't playing the game back then.

In fact most of the problems of current WoW started in TBC. From PvP to itemization. Still a great expansion, even if raiding was fucked ten ways to Christmas.

>>380926923
polearms are really "the" melee hunter weapon honestly

>>380927237
Casual dungeons didn't grant you points though in TBC. You had to grind rep to get the keys to get into heroic, and a lot of the times heroic dungeons in TBC required raid gear to run because blizzard still had no idea what the fuck tuning was.

>>380927236
He was totally in the right, though. I was so stupid at the time and never really paid attention to anything. Oh look, a weapon I can equip that's a higher level than the one I have now, better take it!
>>380927258
I wasn't a melee hunter though, that's the worst part. He actually said that too "you better be a melee hunter" even though he saw me shooting a bow the whole time. I really thought the chance on hit would be badass in case it proc'd when I did that slow down melee attack (haven't played WoW in ten years so I forget what it's called) which would be a million times less chance to proc than if a warrior used it, of course.

>>380926923
>be hunter
>start wearing intellect gear because having mana as a resource must mean I'm a caster

>>380926923
The hunter class is a strange phenomenon, for some strange reason the hunter class has since vanilla, and still does to this day attract the largest amount of retards than any other class. That's why they're nicknamed huntards, it's really a strange thing and i've always wondered why, what is it about the hunter class exactly that just attracts drooling mongoloids on such a large scale?

Ever since vanilla they've always just tried to take loot from everybody else. Oh look an int ring from deadmines? Obviously makes sense for the mage in our group but nah i have a mana bar so i'll take it. Oh look melee swords that a melee in our group needs? I mean it's just a stat stick for me and a physical dps upgrade for him but i'll take it anyway. I can wear mail now but i'll take your leather gear anyway teehee. Actually fuck this priest too i need this cloth piece.

Hunter attracts so many retards to it that blizzard literally had to:
-Take away melee weapons from them.
-Make intellect even more useless for them.
-Later completely remove their mana bar.
-Force them to wear mail armor only.
-Make pets practically immortal.
-Remove ammo so they would stop trying to melee and forget about restocking.
Blizzard actively made these changes just to forcefully prevent so many idiots from loot whoring and taking other people's shit on a daily basis. Does anyone have any theories as to what it is about hunter specifically that attracts the largest amount of retards than any other class in history?

alot of hunter stuff had int on it though
you could even meme arcane shot and stack sp if you wanted some pvp jokes

>>380928170
Same guy again. At level 70, I made an odd decision to roll on that stamina and intellect axe from Karazhan. It wasn't a big deal, the only possible thing the axe could benefit was a paladin, who didn't really give a shit since all he does is heal and uses +healing weapons or something. I still should have given it to him anyway, for PvP or something. However, I'm glad I made that controversial decision because in an update shortly after, they changed it to agility and stamina and it ended up being the best hunter axe you could get until the higher tier dungeons.

>>380928354
to be fair until cataclysm even warriors had leather pieces that were BIS or close to it

>>380928354
iirc the character creation menu straight up stated that hunter was the most beginner friendly class

>>380928354
>Does anyone have any theories as to what it is about hunter specifically that attracts the largest amount of retards than any other class in history?
Probably rednecks who got into wow thinking it was something they could relate to.

>>380928365
Maybe but that didn't stop me from getting dirty looks when I was a level 20-30 something hunter rolling on int robes.
I was a textbook huntard, almost everything >>380928354 said applied to me in some way

>>380928354
I don't know man, but I was guilty until max level of a lot of that shit. I didn't do cloth and leather stuff, though.
I was surprised when I heard that they removed the fucking deadzone. I never felt like that was a limiting thing for hunters, I thought it was a fun mechanic and I always blamed myself if I got stuck in a bad spot.
So they actually completely removed melee weapons from hunters now? The game sounds incredibly gay now, my favorite part about being hunter was having a cool ass looking weapon on my back and shooting my bow.

>>380928696

I imagine being a clothy was suffering, because several cloth pieces were actually damn good for other classes who could wear more than cloth. Like druids, or healadins.

>>380929038
I remember it actually being completely normal for druids to just wear cloth when I played the game. Like, they rolled on it even if there was a priest, and there was no arguing.

Literally one of the reasons I got the game back in 2006 or whatever was because I played my friend's level 20 hunter and I thought it was cool to have melee weapons on you as you shot your bow. Seems like they just simplified it into retard category now. Though I will admit that mana always seemed stupid for hunter, I probably would have preferred energy.

No. I completely avoid multiplayer games now because it is just people yelling at each other for playing incorrectly. Even private wow servers people bitch at you for speccing wrong.

>>380915094
Welfare epics were introduced in the sunwell patch. It was truly the beginning of the end.

>>380930160
The music for that dungeon was so fucking out of place and it was the coolest shit ever.

>>380928354
It's because the hunter was the class without a specific party role. Think about it; to be a good tank you've just got to manage aggro and threat well but that's all. To be a good dps all you have to do is stat and spec well and rely on the tank to not be a fuckwit. But hunters were designed to be a sort of indirect support class that a lot of people just didn't grasp through kiting, sapping laying traps, support and even off tanking with their pets.
So to be a good hunter it's more difficult to find your niche to fill and lots of tards just couldn't grasp this because it wasn't as obvious as other classes. Of course it could just also be that either the guide or the character creation screen specifically stated that hunters were the best class for soloing.

>>380932267
So, wrath basically.

>>380932620
Gotta be more specific about welfare epics baby. I played through BC and wrath and the only thing I could remotely call welfare epics was heroic dungeons for the second to last patch of wrath. Pandaria had welfare epics up the asshole with the Timeless Isle

>>380928558
ugh, as a rogue that made the ICC progress you don't know how much this shit is true.
I had an officer warrior DPS in my guild, the fucker took all my BiS before I could have them. Even though he perfectly knew that we needed a BiS rogue if we wanted to see through LK one day.

>>380932267
Towards the end of an expansion it's not a bad idea, nobody should have to go through karazhan, then SSC/TK, then BT/Hyjal just to be able to raid sunwell(esp if they're gonna be a hardcore player)

It should always only be the tier below current though

>>380932502
This, it was great for example to be able to do dungeons without a tank and two hunters instead. People were always sceptical, but thanks to the utilities and some smart play it was pretty good.

>>380933039
Beginning with Sunwell, you could buy gear from previous raid tiers using emblems. In wrath it got even worse. As soon as Ulduar was released, you could buy full naxx gear. There was no reason to ever run old content. Everyone could quickly gear up for the current raid.

>when you kept a weapon as a druid for 25 fucking levels because of the stats and your melee was independent of the weapon stat and skill
Fucking wild man.

>>380933412
That's not true, though.

You could get tier 6 quality gear from badges, but not dungeon specific.

Also, you only got Badges from Heroics and Raids, both of which dropped epic loot, so they weren't welfare. True welfare epics were the ones you could get by running a few battlegrounds, which was introduced in like 2.1.

>>380933412
>Beginning with Sunwell, you could buy gear from previous raid tiers using emblems.
Except that's wrong. You could buy epic gear for emblems, but you still had to put in effort to get those emblems since they only came from raids (though who at that point didn't have kara on farm).

>>380933412
You still needed to farm Naxx for Grim Toll and sthi

Hell for whatever reason it was pretty common to see level 50-60s wearing SM gear, dunno why it was always SM.

>>380933412
When Argent Tournament came out, I had been raiding Ulduar with a guild for several months. I remember going for a Dalaran Prison run, and there was some mage who had Tier 8 shoulders, the very same tier I had spent months trying to get. I'll never forget the line he said when we were talking about DPS in the group:
>"I don't care about DPS, I just want to finish the dungeon quickly"

>>380933989
because SM gear was probably the most optimized gear in the game until you started clearing strat/scholo/UBRS

>>380933903
I miss having to cast and keep up the armors and arcane intellect.

>>380933989
i didnt like that. how there was a best in slot every 20 levels that EVERYONE had. made me feel not special

>>380933780
The emblems you got from heroic 5-mans could give you gear equivalent to the previous raid tier though. And 5-mans were piss easy in wrath.

>>380933412
But those aren't welfare epics. Admittedly it's a more accessible way for people to get gear without being left behind. But it's not plopping a bunch of epics in your lap just for killing regular enemies like the end of MoP did.

Wrath heroics were pathetically easy, especially later in the xpac. You literally just ran the daily heroic for a few days and you would get tier gear from the previous raid tier. That is unacceptable and pure welfare gear.
