So the entire point of Classic is manually forming dungeon groups. And that's it. Okay.

The whole point is to build community once more not play a glorified loot gambling machine where everyone else is just a number and interaction is meaningless.
Make friends, join a guild, build a reputation. It’s what those of us who were playing these games 15+ years ago yearn for.
If you want anonymity, go back to BFA and close the door behind you.

The entire point of classic is social interaction.
It's forming a group that builds your reputation and leads to those people remembering you and joining you again in the future, perhaps even becoming your friends.
It's about not ditching someone the moment they make a mistake because it would take longer to find a replacement than telling them what they are doing wrong and helping them get better.
WoW was never designed to be an instant gratification machine. You nut harder when you edge yourself for longer.

So the part i'm more concerned with (and why trying out an emulator won't really help) is how fast things will move along on these things. Is it going to just be a bunch of hardcore players who know all the optimal spots/tricks/etc. rushing to max level and thus trying to play it as a semi-casual and enjoy yourself isn't really going to be feasible since 10 days in you'll be too far behind the main playerbase to get groups and you'll have level 60s in every lvl 25 pvp zone just killing lowbies for fun?

It shouldn't be too bad in phase 1. Mainly because there is no honor system yet. Phase 2 is going to be a shitstorm for those leveling up though. I think there will be some of it cuz there are assholes in the world. I think most will be gear grinding in anticipation for phase 2.

Trying to create a character does not work.
Trying to restore deleted character does not work.
I am very tempted to delete and recreate a character over and over...

Doesn't work, just tried it, you can only stay on character select for 30-35 minutes tops.

All of the metrics and data so far (from Reddit and other sources) show less than 1/3rd of people rushing to 60. Most people will get there within 2 months or so. Go at your own pace; there will be tons of people to play with.

Here is the thing, if you want to play then play. If you get bored then quit it's really that simple.
If you are trying to make excuses for why you will dislike it before you even install for shit like leveling pace or possibly getting killed in PvP that's just dumb as fuck.

Sucks that they are taking out skeletons from Classic. Not the mob, but the skeleton that players leave behind when they die and release.
Seriously, fuck that. I opened a ticket on that bullshit, happy to abuse the feedback system a bit.

The FoH guild is going to have what like 120 people? Someone will be there to help if you are getting killed. More than likely you will already be questing with other guildies and get passed over since people on voice usually wreck gank groups. Classic will be worth the ride cost doing it all again and having world pvp. I think that is why I held on so long to Archeage was the pvp and boat combat. Nothing better than massive battles moving around the maps.
