Blizzard responds to Nostalrius discussion

i doubt that this will have success, remember that the best gear was only obtainable by 40 man raids or playing pvp 24/7 with pocket healers or account sharing. Ok oneshotting cloth as enhance with random windfury proccs was fun and the world was more dangerous because everyone had shit gear except the few in top raid guilds. Other than that i would prefer bc/wotlk servers anytime.

without lfr/new honor system not a single casual (90% of todays wow population) is gonna play this

wait until they see how useful meeting stones were in vanilla!

LOL! +1 internets to you, sir.

Casuals wont be able to use the meeting stone because if you click more than once the summon aborts, I don't know if that has ever been fixed but if not it's absolutely impossible for todays casuals to execute a teleport via meeting stone

thats just my experience from the few times I went lfr, 80% of those people would simply never get access to epics in vanilla aside from the stuff you can grind (i.e. battleground factions)

leave a random mc raid in vanilla after 2 bosses, gl finding another raid in the future

I've spent more time in LFR than non-LFR Raids since it was added to the game. I feel like this is a bit of an exaggeration. Depending on the group or even time of the week can greatly impact the quality of your LFR experience.

The true failure can be seen during timewalking events where pugs wipe over and over on the ICC 5 mans, or End Times where the boss mechanics are flat out not forgiving.

I can tell you now, on Nostalrius you were able to see how many people were online with the /who function. I did a couple of 18 hour stints on it and constantly checked it, the pvp server always had over 10k people online, always.

I had a blast, was so good going through questing areas WITH OTHER PEOPLE. The zones were PACKED!! STV was a warzone. I missed that about WoW. It took me back to when I first started playing. I would pay for a chance to play Vanilla again. It was slow, painful, frustrating, unfair to some classes, but it was epic, and the eventual rewards made you feel good.

Nostalrius was good because it wasn't just claiming what the people wanted, it proved it!
