Ah, the Olde WoW(tm).

When a mage was decently geared in full Mooncloth tailored stuff.
When UBRS was a difficult 15-man raid.
When AV wars took over 24hours at times.
When www.wowhead.com/?item=Arcanite Reaper was uber.
When PVP in PVE gear wasn't a death sentence.
When it took more than one person to kill all the npcs in Crossroads.
When Flight Masters were mean and usually meant death by Enraged Wyvern.
When enhancement shamans were still interesting.
When having certain hunter pets was worth more than just "hey, nice color there."
When you had to reroll to respec (hope you like that prot warrior leveling LOL).
