WoW Classic is Proving More Than a Fad, and Blizzard Should be Paying Attention



World of Warcraft is ironically enjoying a mini-renaissance right now by returning to its past. WoW Classic is the strongest driver of World of Warcraft at the moment, as evidenced by a host of Twitch streams. That means Classic is pushing WoW subscriptions, potentially more than the modern version of the same game.To get more news about cheap wow gold classic, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

And yet, WoW Classic is every bit the frustrating experience I remember from playing the original World of Warcraft back in 2004. Early on in my Classic play, I was doing a quest called "Finding the Antidote,” where I needed poison sacs from Venomtail Scorpids. This quest was tied to another with a 45-minute timer, so I needed to get four poison sacs and get them back to the questgiver. No problem right?Negative. Between other players also killing the Venomtail Scorpids, and the drop rate of the poison sacs, it actually took me most of the time to get the quest done. I come within two minutes of failing. I don't know what my Warrior was doing to these Scorpids that was ruining their poison sacs, but the listed drop rate was a paltry 34%. Just swing your sword a little slower, man!

I'm not the only player who has a story like this. The Barrens, one of the early leveling regions for Horde players, is infamous for having a number of animal killing quests where it feels like you're committing genocide simply to get a few quest items. The Alliance has Westfall, an area with roughly the same issues. "63% of all Goretusks in Westfall don't have livers," wrote Reddit user DogeCore9110.

"Stew be damned, I'm not running around Westfall for 4 hours killing meatless vultures for that shit," replied Reddit user RedSn0Living. "Then I spent an hour hunting for ingredients for Blood Sausage. So, what comes around and all that."
World of Warcraft was once full of stories like that. WoW Classic is a machine, churning out water cooler tales about deep, deep frustration. Misery loves company, and part of building Classic's community is a shared understanding of the trials and tribulations that every player has to suffer through. Quests like the "The Green Hills of Stranglethorn," where you have to collect a number of random drop pages to complete the quest; regions like Southshore and Tarren Mill, where world PVP is an almost constant facet. There's an intense amount of rage and tedium around certain quests and areas; places where players just grit their teeth and push through it.

"The worst are the wingless buzzards in Badlands. Can't find them, the only reliable spot is camped by 10 people whispering profanities to you, and most don't have wings. I can see your gigantic wings flapping two of them what do you mean you don't have any?" wrote Reddit user PublicLeopard.

"I am still unable to safely recover my corpse, for I know that my insolence has landed me on the blacklist of a number of high-level Hordes. Stranglethorn shall be forever hostile to me," said WoW forums user Anthropea. "I still think this game is amazing. 14 years after its conception, it is still able to birth such feelings and emotions in players’ hearts. Sadly, for me and for many others, this game will be restricted to the starting zones. For dare we venture forward, certain death would await."
