I didn't try Mythic + but I have many friends who have, and even those who had a lot of success with it were often very frustrated with the attitudes of other players. From what they said the Mythic + community is very similar to the raiding community, and I became exasperated with the raiding community in that game a very long time ago. It's not for me.
And thats fine. Thats why there is multiple different paths to progress your character -- the current issue is if its rewarding for the effort. I dont personally like M+ because I just find it boring and tends to wear out its welcome fast in my mind.

Since M+ is tied to gear progression, WoW players in some facet will try to enforce that min-max or meta method. They do with almost every part of that game -- because of trend following and lack of casual content.

Well it wasn't a surprise for me that the old raids were thrashed in a few short hours. The mechanics back then were significantly more simple, people have better internet and pcs now so they don't have connection and fps issues, the engine was modernised so the game runs better, and people know the tactics already. All that combined, of course it was nuked super fast. I completely expected it.
My favorite moment of all of it was how completely it shut up the Classic supremists who would basically call retail baby-mod easy with claims of how hard Classic was. Im sorry, but you cant claim a game is hard when you end-game boss (for release) is down within HOURS of release.

Again this is happening with TBC, and again -- Im ready with popcorn with how fast things will be done.


The game is a time capsule. Sure the community changed but the core of the game did not. By modern standards Classic is not a very good mmo and I can completely understand why someone would not enjoy it, especially if they did not play it during the time when it was launched. I replay a lot of my old games, so Classic was just another venture into that for me.
Its just nostalgia bait. Its all re-living memories once had as a kid or as a young gamer. Its fine to relive those, but you will always have that rude awakening when the game, its audience, and you have changed since that time.
