[@azgards_tale4089]

+1. Watching the whole video for one and a half an hour the end just gave me some tears

[@mallios13]

I dunno if I give kudos to people who stuck around that long, or just point and laugh. I played from vanilla to Cata, and now it hits me in the age to see classic is at Cata. All the issues WoW would suffer after Cata were very obvious even then. So in the decade+ to follow, it seemed pretty obvious that WoW was sliding. PUG queues, P2W content, worsening story, increasingly toxic fanbase, etc. All of that was very apparent back around 2010.

[@alessandrocava4701]

If someone come across this and has never played WoW before, Carbot takes the experience and makes it into a format that WoW players find so nostalgic that if a person who has never played it before, watches this video, they will say to them selves "HEY, ITS JUST LIKE THE VIDEO I WATCHED FROM CARBOT!" I really enjoy seeing how your animation has evolved, the changes from your early stuff and modern has transitions so eloquently.

​@@zommy_artzzI'm one of those people I played it for 2ish months in 2005 cuz I gott a free trial with it. When it came to pay it cost too much.

[@zommy_artzz]

@@bammontenegro5639 Yess! I agree, we shouldn't have 2 pay $10 a month, to go higher lvl to be honest, I find it stupid. The game is still very much enjoyable for me though! I thought Dragonflight would suck, but I was a little wrong, it's very fun. and they brought the tuskarr back!

[@gordonking2356]

Man the end showing the expansions and state of the game hit hard. I just came back to Classic for Cata, I don’t mind the dungeon finder feature but so many of the people don’t even communicate. I see so many not even know how to play their classes. Things like druids not knowing what MotW is, resto druid only healing with rejuvenate, priests dpsing as holy, prot paladins not using righteous fury, fire specced mage using mostly frost spells, disc priest using only holy nova to heal, … it goes on. WOW holds a place in my heart, I’ve played off and on for twenty years and have wonderful memories with friends and guildies.

[@lozangekitten-gamer7626]

the whole "dungeoning with noobs" hits a little TOO close to reality it hurts... still accurate in... "unofficial" servers

[@perhapsyes2493]

@@lozangekitten-gamer7626 Even in real classic this sometimes happened. People let idiots play their accounts, little siblings or friends or whatever. But it was nowhere near as bad as after the dungeon finder got introduced, back in WotLK it hurt the general skill level so much. Or at least... my theory - how much one interacts with those kinds of people. There's a difference between those who can read a chat and interact to get a party invite, and those who can press a few buttons.

Omg that wow classic one with his friends all leaving hit me in the feels. I’m so sad that I missed all of the good times in WOW when I started playing in 10.1. There’s this huge world for me to explore and I’m loving the questing, but as a new player it really does feel empty

Such a great take on the Wow experience. The escort part had me laughing hard as well as the Warlock disenchanting the Warriors Axe. So many times I have seen that happen. I still go back to Wow from time to time to see the changes and play some BGs and Keys. The end of the video is exactly what has happened to this game. So True. Thanks for the nostalgic vibes and for the great content.

My characters final resting place after starting the game with Mists of Pandaria and closing with the end of Draenor, listening to the Grizzly Hills music sitting on top of a mountain just south of Grizzlemaw. And just like this video showed i moved on to FFXIV shortly after. I was never a gamer growing up, and my first MMO was WoW at MoP. Some of the best gaming memories i have is the people i met during that short time doing raids and becoming friends. I think that level of playing with others is what i miss the most...it's now all gone to "here's my wallet, let me win" instead of your time and effort.

@@Manakuski I think it's more that something feels lost. Like imagine the days prior to all the "vanilla servers" and every other thing they have come up with. You couldn't wait to get online, to meet up with all those you were just running dungeons with the night before. Swapping jokes, telling life stories, and opening up to genuine friends that you never even met in real life. Gaming those few short years ago was simply amazing, and as i turn 39 this year, that's what i miss. Your time and effort mattering in a game, a reason for actually grouping up. Not what gaming has become that focuses on battle passes, and more on solo play. It's hard to describe and i'm sure there will be those that read this and think "It's not like that!" but it is, for us that grew up in a simpler time. I wish i could go back and poke myself and whisper "These are your best gaming moments...enjoy them"

i love that you can tell he has played the game. not only is it all normal wow stuff, but he gets all the little inside jokes and captures the little moments we all remember but for unfamiliar people they wouldn't notice if it was in there or not. everything from the name selection to the WSG fight to stuff like running circles around escort quest NPC's and then them aggro'ing something only to return to where they aggro'd from and start walking all slow again. He also really captures all the stereotypes of each class. amazing 10/10.

World pvp could suck if you were just trying to do your thing, but massive spontaneous fights, invading other capitals, kiting bosses to other zones to watch them wreck everything...just doesn't happen anymore. Just rush rush rush to the endgame, grind the latest mechanic that will disappear as soon as the next expansion rolls around, then rush rush rush again.

[@gus.smedstad]

I liked WoW, and this video does rather make me miss it. That said, everything you're talking about was awful. It was griefing on a mass scale, making the lives of all the low-level characters that were in the way miserable. The only form of PvP that was fun for everyone was the battlegrounds like Warsong Gulch.

[@miriamweller812]

I mean, open World pvp was mainly griefing (what includes kiting high level world bosses into low level zones) and the attack on capitals was still mainly PvE against the world bosses/faction leaders there, you rarely had any kind of balance.

[@SaucerheadTharp]

I have memories of being in the 20s and joining a Zerg of Horde that made it as far as the forest south of Stormwind before Alliance lvl 60s found us and started culling anyone not max level. Good times. The LFG system sped up dungeon runs, but killed actually going to the dungeons of the social aspects of raising a party.

[@Bassario]

Yeah that sort of "the life of wow" one with that emotional music gets you every single fucking time if you were there.... oh god we were there man..... everything was so unknown and so fresh.
