Totally agree with you on this. I still try to do as many of those old epic questlines as I can on my toons - the druid epic flight quest, the Onyxia attunement, the Karazhan attunement, the warlock epic mount quest, the Scepter of the Sands line - all of those were great and required a ton of work, but you felt like you had really accomplished something at the end. <br />I've gone back and done a few on my Death Knight just because I felt like he had to - like proof of coming of age.Joarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343975994265805336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527089824014045335.post-24044329091642335722009-06-03T06:53:43.413-07:002009-06-03T06:53:43.413-07:00I have to agree with you in principle. I have bee...I have to agree with you in principle. I have been playing WoW since day 1. I've tried every class, though I tend to stick to a mage and druid, but I'm finding a resurgent fun in levelling some smaller toons. As I go through the questlines, I encounter one or two that I missed in my early WoW naeivete`. But what I am quickly seeing is all the levelling buffs that Blizz added. <br /><br />I remember struggling and struggling on some quests, like in STV or SoS, where some of the ogres and dragons wandering around were elites. Now they're all regular mobs, and doing the quests dont carry nearly the level of satisfaction that I remember. <br /><br />Also, to some of you newer players, this might not mean much, but to old schoolers like me, they'll get this. Remember when getting keyed for Blackrock or BLW or Ony or even Scholo or Strat meant something? You had to work your ass off to even be able to go into certain raiding instances. Which meant for a player like me, with a real life schedule, I didn't have the time to invest to get keyed, let alone be able to raid. So I always held raiders, and geared raiders, with a certain extra respect. I still have that respect, but it seems like its a whole lot easier to get into raids these days. Get to LVL 80, run some heroics for gear, and you're good to go. I think WoW has lost the feel of the epic long quest lines that have you continent hopping to get a key smelted, only to find out you have to nuke a lvl 80 ghost and his huge entourage just to get in to a 5 man instance. There are still some good quest lines in the game. But I kind of feel like WoW has started to tailor to the casual end gamer. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying I can see the change.<br /><br />Anyone else have those thoughts?Lucint @ Bronzebeard - USnoreply@blogger.com
