I remember the days of an 8-12 hour AV run. Dying countless times to make no progress at all. Slowly working your way to the towers and keeping them clear of NPC's that would fuck you up, and keeping the fires going. It was a colossal shit show, but a lot of fun at the same time. I played every AV (much like everything else in game) as a Prot Warrior. I remember Van fucking my shit up because people wouldn't heal. They were all speced for DPS instead of keeping your raid alive so you could beat the boss. It was such a dumpster fire of education. The entire guild would go in because Furor designed the zone, and he always wanted us to win. It was so rough. When all FoH was present, it def went a lot smoother, but when we left... it would drag on forever and ever.

tl;dr loot trading will specifically only work in raid environments
feel like that's a fair middle ground really

Girlfriend just gave me the green light to play this... I would love to play in a guild that's serious about raiding, but maybe only 2-3 nights a week. I would love if we got an FoH guild going.


Every private server guild has assigned raid days and times. Usually 2 days a week for 40man content. You can do MC/BWL/Ony in 3 hours these days

This is solely to cut down on GM intervention, since back in vanilla they would fix these sorts of issues including loot lost to server crashes since they still had the logs of what dropped.

Ya, I'm surprised they've only limited it to raid for that reason but a lot of people were salty about it.

I personally couldn't give a fuck less cause the only shithead that ninja'd anything I've ever played with was never invited to any groups again.

We had such bad luck trying to sync our queues to get the guild in AV with Hyjal's Alliance > Horde imbalance. We were doing well to have 5-10 people. Having all of FoH or +/- the Forgotten Aspect folks normally meant at least AV would end in an efficient timeframe. Sometimes. From the Alliance's perspective, it was often trying to herd cats toward the objective. Regularly, it was about 5 people recklessly abusing the alliance sploits until people started showing up/overcomed their learned helplessness/got bored/overcame their derp and decided to help win.

In my defense, Green Random Drops were better than Purples for my class for half of Vanilla.

Defending iceblood/frostwolf graveyard ( can't remember which it was) with a small group of people was some of the most fun I've ever had in pvp.

I remember the only way Horde could win in AV was to have half defend Drek and other half kill Vanndar.

Alliance didn't have to send anyone to defend Vanndar to win. Just full Drek push was all they had to do.

Man our AVs lasted days. The same AV for a whole weekend. People didn't do the boring "lets just rush to the end" crap till much much later.

Not having tmog shit is a plus for classic. Knowing what people are fucking using by sight is how an mmo should be.

Every game these days does it with a big number over your head.
Yeah the game is so uniform youre able to tell by their hp. Every piece of gear is the same just a little more stats including STA so more hp = better gear all around 99% of the time

pretty much every single MMO out there broadcasts way too much information about your opponent in pvp.
