Raiding! Classic VS BfA

[@CaptainGrim]

Long time no see! Sorry about that guys, honestly wasn't feeling too great but still managed to consistently work on this little by little. Hope you're all doing alright! Now. I know what you'll say "another classic video??? Just do shadowlands!!1 ". Well yes, I'm intending to make a bit more retail content moving forward but that's why I wanted to make at least one more Classic video for now, since it won't be my focus for a while. So yea! Enjoy. /kiss If you want to keep track of me or just want a chat, join my discord where I'm super active!: discord.gg/KT7ngWJ

I had something similar happen. I was last in line for the obsidian edged blade from MC as the guild had a lot of warriors and I was the newest. The other warriors finally all had it so I thought I might finally get it. For context, it was typical to bring people in for bosses that were "on farm" to gear them up, then swap them out. Instead, they put me on standby and took 5 warriors who didn't need anything from those bosses. It of course dropped and they gave it to a hunter. Never did get it. Was stuck with icy barbed spear until I got TUF from AV. I was even in a video of one of the guild's early Ragnaros kills with that spear.

The raids weren't really harder than Retail raids, but in hindsight it was awesome to prepare for those raids and work together as a guild instead of just logging in on raid day and logging off if you are done. Loot was also a lot more meaningful.
