Only a fool would expect such glory and wealth as was fitting one of the few people who could be summoned directly to UBRS to be paid to open the door and then ported to anywhere. Those people were VIPs.<br /><br />@Leah: Either soloable or as part of content that we do anyway are better ways to do attunements. I guess I'm saying I agree.<br /><br />@Anonymous: I'd go with a smaller better ratio, maybe 15/10 for BC and 175/100 for vanilla.<br /><br />@Syl: I wonder if they can be combined. can we have convenient instance teleports and immersion?<br /><br />@Nils: You have a blog? And it isn't Tobold's comment space? ;)<br />But yes, that strawman bugs me too. I can just imagine everyday life with them: "sun's great today!" It gives you cancer! "it's a bit cloudy" Rain increases traffic accidents!Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-10300327504606393662010-09-13T06:10:51.698-05:002010-09-13T06:10:51.698-05:00Thanks for this sophisticated post!
Some people o...Thanks for this sophisticated post!<br /><br />Some people out there seem to think that todays games are in every single aspect better than older games. This is, quite obviously, absurd. Even the probability of such a thing happening would be almost 0.<br /><br />But if you start to argue, they take what you say and make a strawman, like: "There are many thing in Vanilla Wow that were worse!!11!"<br />Yeah, thanks. I knew that.<br /><br />We need people who are willing to differentiate and are able to understand that player attitude towards a game makes a difference.<br /><br />I <a href="http://nilsmmoblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/nostalgia.html" rel="nofollow">wrote</a> about it myself some days ago.Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-41137319319653318992010-09-11T06:45:31.120-05:002010-09-11T06:45:31.120-05:00I can easily provide a list of 50 things I miss ab...I can easily provide a list of 50 things I miss about vanilla wow. I can easily provide a list of 50 things I do not miss about vanilla wow.<br /><br />that's exactly the point. naturally we'd like the good things back, while we're happy to let the bad ones rot. who doesn't strive for perfection?<br /><br />If I could combine some of vanilla's more epic and immersive features with today's wow...that would be almost heaven. ;)Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-55590755925769051592010-09-11T06:25:13.075-05:002010-09-11T06:25:13.075-05:00Yeah, the reason I often comment about missing van...Yeah, the reason I often comment about missing vanilla or TBC in every post that could possibly be related to them is that they were both better (in my opinion) then WotLK overall.<br />Like over 9000x better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-79112209182127814102010-09-10T23:28:31.107-05:002010-09-10T23:28:31.107-05:00I miss attunement chains.

I mean, Kara chain was actually pretty cool, since the group parts were in instances, so you stood a good chance of getting it done, but netherwing chain...good luck finding people to help you kill that orc dude that are on the same part of the chain. Or BT attunement... Oh and remember that quest where you had to have special goggles to even see the mob you had to kill and those goggles weren't at the start of the chain so it was pretty darn annoying to find a group to do it with you. wasn't as bad if you were in a guild/had a group of friends questing along the same chains at the same time, but if you were a mostly solo player? forget it.<br /><br />it sucked something fierce to have to kill specific raid bosses over and over, just to attune new raid members...<br /><br />but I still miss attunement chains. they really did add to immersion for me. make them soloable and bring them back and I'd be a super happy gamer :PLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922945261685139416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-5568616875041355152010-09-10T17:26:16.292-05:002010-09-10T17:26:16.292-05:00Haha, your comments about LBRS crack me up. It'...Haha, your comments about LBRS crack me up. It's the one normal instance I never ran even once back in Vanilla, and coming back to it later on, I found it to be a nightmare to navigate. Only tonight I went in there to complete some quests and was cursing the entire time about how stupid it was, most often when I fell down a "surprise hole" in the floor and found myself on a level I definitely didn't want to be on. Once I even fell out of the instance. It was infuriating.<br /><br />On the other hand I never built my seal of ascension until they had already adjusted the gem drop rate to 100%.
