For the first part, there is actually concrete proof. John Staats has talked about how Elwynn > Westfall > Redridge were completed first and they didnt have the time to give the same TLC to the rest.

Then why the heck does Westfall/Redridge feel so slow and poorly designed? The amount of traveling for dumb delivery missions ends up making it take just as long as the Barrens.

Because they were learning how to design. Good game designers make the first level last so the entry point to the game is made by the most experience.

Played Wow from the start...admittedly I've taken more breaks than time playing ( Stopped at the start of Wrath, came back at the end of Cata...Stopped mid WoD, came back mid Legion, Stopped mid BfA....tried Shadowlands for a week and stopped, and recently resubbed for WW ) but yeah, the early days were certainly different because the internet was different back then. One of the reasons why old school Barrens chat will never be recaptured, the world and internet and people are just different than they were 20 years ago. Shame too, I used to spend tons of time in Barrens even after I outgrew the zone just so I could watch chat. Now it's just buy or rush to get to the end of the game and 90+% of everything else is dead.

To me, they really screwed up with the melee hunter. People have been wanting to be like Rexxar for like a decade and instead of getting a dual wielding beast master, we got some crappy 2hander, just me and my 1 pet. I like survival hunter, it's fun, but I want to be able to dual wield, as I can't stand 2hand on a hunter type, and have more than 1 pet. I want beast mastery but melee and dual wield.

The options for DW/2H and no/pet would be awesome indeed.

I remember World of Warcraft and Everquest very fondly. People give EQ crap but there wouldn't be a WoW game without EQ. Even the devs of WoW admit this as they also played EQ regularly. The original devs anyway. Also, playing in a 72 man raid was bonkers. Something WoW never achieved. But WoW perfected what EQ started. I played WoW more and had more online friends I played with on WoW. Sad that I can't exactly pinpoint the day I lost all those friends. I miss them.

I can remember as ally back in 2007 I was in single AV match that lasted a week (turtle) and I won 132 matches in a row that year. It's amazing how many kills towards my Bloodthirsty title I got from AV alone.

Incorrect piece of information: Thori'dal was not "automatically useless" when WotLK came out. It remained viable for hunters, especially Marksmanship, until after Ulduar. I was a progression raider who ran hunter/pally in Wrath. The only thing that held it back was lack of bonus damage from ammo, or it likely would have continued to see use.

Its insane how much of your time vanilla wasted due to poor design/lack of polish. Hooooly damn. Sometimes it truly makes me wonder of all the fixation about it, i mean i get nostalgia and all but even that has to have a limit. Absolute insanity.

I think it's the feeling of discovering new and random things in an area. That's what got me, personally. But boy, when the burnout hit, it hit hard.
