    Very interesting... Sylvanas is crazy powerful I guess. Not sure how I feel about this one.

    A lot of people are coming back for Classic. I signed up for the monthly fee and gave it a try... About 30 minutes into grinding through the level 1-5 area I decided I just can't go through that whole process again, especially on Classic where grinding through level is slower than ever. I jumped back into my main account and saw all of my mounts, armor and pets I acquired and quickly realized why I quit... I literally went through all of the endgame content for all of the expansions to get mounts and armor for transmog. I never did get that Ashes of Alar mount and I did that stupid raid every week on 7 characters for about 10 weeks.

    ------
    I still don't understand how Bolvar lost to Sylvanas. In a 1 on 1 their battle should be pretty close, but with Bolvar having access to the lich kings power it should be a quick match... but I guess they had to figure out a segue into the new patch about purgatory.

    I'm looking forward to this one.  At first glance I'm thinking it's going to be much more successful than the current expansion.  Along the lines of Legion which had issues but overall was very well received.  Seems like they may have learned from the technical issues of the last two (endless grinds for a "power" to level up a gear item for example) and the biggest gripe from the last two expansions of being not friendly to alt characters seems like that is finally going to be fixed. 
     
    As far as why they can still get away with charging for things, well I think people still like story and they are good at telling stories so think of it like paying for the next book in a series or something.  That's just my opinion though and I might be totally wrong there.  Of course, when Legion came out and they were giving us all these over the top systems etc. there was speculation that it was going to be the last expac and WoW would be dead after that, but here we are so who knows.

    Personal Opinion...
     
    WoW ran its course awhile back... it's like "Walking Dead", there are only so many evil doers ("I'M NEGAN *duh*") and zombies that you can go through before people say "this garbage again?" Kudos to Blizzard for having the vision for the original game (I left after BC, which I think was the best expansion Liche King was the suck). I mean... they're still offering free character levels lmao I think this is where the older generation has gone back to Vanilla and said "I enjoy this"... it's because the game WAS more social back then, and there were online friends and relationships that developed because within the grinding, we filled the time with cheesy jokes, personal commentary and assisting guild mates. I went back to Vanilla for this... then realized, it was still fun, but that was a point in time (technology and gaming atmosphere) that you just can't recreate. Vanilla has been salted with the youths who are complete *pricks* (am I allowed to say that on here?) and some really divisive gaming styles that take aware from the Vanilla design.
     
    I understand why retail gets a lot of praise... it's EASY, everything is HANDED TO YOU, you can SOLO just about everything, NOTHING is social, and it's PURE EYE CANDY. Seriously... it's like *crack* for ADHD or socially challenged people. I just wish Blizzard would spend those resources on a new brand, come out with a marquee title (instead of Diablo 18, now with demons who fart at you, and you can SMELL IT). Their titles were showing their age a decade ago... time to move on Blizzard... this is why several others passed them by!

    I laugh when i hear people say "retail players have everything handed to them". They forget that people made it to level 60 and kill Ragnaros in the first week of Classic being released. Most of group wasn't max level, they were wearing green gear too. The old raid mechanics are a joke compared to retail. No heroic or Mythic raid mode in Classic. No Mythic Plus dungeons in Classic.
     
    It's going to be weird in the next expansion going from lvl120 to lvl50 (new level cap is 60). Are they doing away with majority of the old quests and reducing the requirement to earn loremaster achievement.
