I'll preface with saying I was excited to play classic. I was bored with retail and some of it’s mechanics (sigh heart of azeroth). I logged in and began my journey (honestly thinking I wasn’t going to touch retail for a while) leveling all my professions and doing group quest—taking my time.

While it was amazing to actually see people in the world, doing group quest, and having a social guild, I slowly started to become disenchanted with the realities of classic. The combat is painfully slow and boring, questing is unnecessarily janky at times, and class design is mess with some.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some aspects I really wish classic would transfer into retail. However, after only 18 levels and messing around with a few classes, I’ve come to the conclusion that classic isn’t for me. I wish nothing but success for classic so both games can co-exist and world of Warcraft can enchant so many as it’s done for 15 years.

I began playing in burning crusade, which is maybe why my experience is different? I started leveling a paladin in retail and I’m enjoying it much better at this time.

Typed on mobile, sorry for grammar.

First let me say that i have nothing against Classic itself, i think its nice that now players can enjoy a version of WoW they prefer, but please classic players could you stop trying to degrade retail as complete sh*thole and that i should feel bad for liking it. There are players that like Classic and those that like Retail. That doesnt mean that one is good and the other one is bad. Everybody has their preference. I personally like certain things from both and plan on playing both.

The things i like in Retail: 1. transmog, 2. more engaging rotation, 3. the zones look stunning, 4. endgame in general

The things i like about Classic: 1. class quests, 2. people are nicer to each other, 3. being able to see/read story before cataclysm
