People yelling at each other over two mechanic fights.
What killed it?

Adulthood. I genuinely had fun playing vanilla again, and a part of me wishes that I could just play it 8 hours a day and fuck around with the lads. However, a combination of boring adult shit and meaningful adult shit makes it impossible to justify. If classic came out when I was still in my late teens I would've probably played the absolute shit out of it. It goes without saying, but playing vanilla in moderation is impossible (at least for me).

XIV is full of chill boomers and coomers if that's what you're looking for.

I had some fun but it's all about repetition. I wanted TBC anyway.

Pre-expansion balance so everything is easy.
No changes fags ruining any chance of interesting balance changes.
Min-maxed knowledge so certain items have absolutely no value while level 44 epics can pay for every raid till Naxx while being BiS forever.
Mages AoE farming everything due to player experience and selling shit for 10x it's realistic price because they flood the market and name their price because noone else can compete.
No mystery so no reason to bother playing.

all the chill bommers quit as soon as they reach 60 or even before that.

>Streamers
Everyone knows orc and undead are best and even in Vanilla,it was 60% undead/30% orc.
>actiblizz
Didn't change shit aside for streamer servers.
>not merging dead realms
Why do you care? Every realm has raid groups and low pop servers have easy Black Lotus to farm. I'd rather play on one if given a chance to transfer.
>not testing content
Bugs are bugs and the content was tested by premium guilds. They just didn't care.
>AV ranking
Wasn't a thing in Vanilla because 10 minute wins didn't exist in Vanilla. 10 minute wins were the meta on Nost as well because that way, you guaranteed wins where as even a half competent troll set up can drag your WSG premade into a 20 minute game as long as they have a competent druid/paladin.
>hour long queues
Wasn't their fault. Blame oversaturation of horde PvPers.
>garbage culture in BGs
was always there and its nothing to do with Blizz. Blame Classic culture bringing in regular tards. That's why Alliance even loses despite noone using AV backdoor.
The issue is people had goggles on. Then forgets that Classic was an imbalanced heap of shit that was popular by being the basic entry MMO for tards. Everquest punished you hard for dying instead of a 10% durability loss. Ultima Online punished you even harder. SWG was a fucking obscene grindtastic sperg fest.
WoW just lacks any secrets now. Classic TBC, which is likely the route they'll go, will be no different. None of the cool early specs will work because tryhards cried about Shadow Priests and Ele/Enh shamans being competitive with mages so now only mages and locks will top DPS charts the entire expansion.

Mood. I mean, like, dont get me wrong, it's fun to go on a nostalgia trip to simpler times, but the reality is that we have adulting to do. We just dont have time to play children's games, as much as we might want. My husband and I still make room for our own little silly sunday, though, lol. We set up pillow forts in the living room and play switch together under the blankets. It's so cute, and it totally let's us wind down and get ready to head back to the office on monday. I dont think we'd have as much fun if we played something like wow instead. Oh well, the way I look at it is, we may not be kids anymore but at least we dont have any!!
