Why do you guys love Vanilla so much?

But having played so many years, aren't you now bored of leveling through the same zones again?

[Elaith]

For me personally no. I havent touched a Private Server since the 1st scriptcraft (2011?), and whilst I have played retail WoW in that time thanks to the shitstorm that was the Cata expansion I havent experienced traditional wow + zones for 4 odd years.

[Jace]

Because it is not easy, actually I have to play the game.

Sure, but the server is new and the community is new so many people feel like they start from scratch, they meet new people, etc. Sure leveling can be boring but I still enjoy the chill feel of it and it's less boring than destroying mobs in 1 second. Old WoW has MMO feel of it when after TBC I felt like I'm playing alone. Things like LFR or DF have no context in RP element of the game and it killed community aspect of it. WoW since Cata isn't an MMORPG anymore.

WoW since Cata isn't an MMORPG anymore.

Couldn't agree more.

And it's a pvp server. Wait for the Horde/Alliance raids in the enemy territory, every day and all that just for fun!
This kind of pvp gameplay disappear from wow with TBC..

1. It's not trivially easy. If you do something wrong you might actually die or have a setback. Your decisions matter.

2. Community. Cross-realm automatic groups require no investment, so nobody cares about the people they're with. Yes, it's "convenient", but the results are awful.

3. Imbalance. Over time, every class has gained almost every ability, and everything has been "normalised" to be like everything else. So what if PvP was "unfair"? Winning against the odds is good. And being a cheap rogue to provide those odds is also good. Balance is a false goal for arena E-sports that took a lot of game out of the game.

4. People in the world. It's the *World* of Warcraft. Not the city-camping-lobby of Warcraft.

I have to say I *don't* like the grind so much. I always wished Blizzard would make questing much harder, but shorter (for example, by awarding more XP if you took hard quests above your level somehow). Instead they just made it easy and shorter, until it was about as interesting as knitting.

Couldn't agree more on that.

All of the above and: It had no linked realms. You knew everyone on your server. And you were the badass if you had nice loots.
