NickWilliams-fj3kh: I remember when I first started playing in vanilla when I was in 7th grade. I made a tauren hunter and I thought it was so cool having a pet. I went from mulgore to the South fury river to get a croc and then went back to mulgore to swim in the lake with my croc with eyes of the beast

dbcooper4171: The most defining moment was the moment I turned WOW on for the 1st time in 2004! It was WOW! After watching EQs graphics for years, it was like going from a bike to a Ferrari...

Scaleandframe: Having played Warcraft 2 and 3, it was so surreal to see a MOONWELL, and jump around in it. I was a WC3 unit. To me that was the magic initially.

danielhayes1880: As a vanilla player I’ll repeat it since 07, death knights killed wow.

Wickedincarnate: Most defining moment for me was being the first person on my server with the healing mace off Firelands Rag I linked it in trade chat to show off and people came to take screenshots of my character. For the server my guild was the first horde side to kill him.

I'll never forget that feeling

Radoo1989: TBC also haad daily quests which is the start of min maxing and eventually killed the soul of classic

danielhayes1880: Legion was way too many daily weekly and felt way too much like chores

christerknutsen8031: Flying mounts is one of the worst things added to the game imo, they couldve just improved on the current flight master system they had going. And it was first now in TBC anniversary I really noticed it while leveling my first alt who had mining to supply my blacksmithing. The constant traffic runing over your head at rocket ship level speeds just so easily hovering up all gathering resources just made it impossible to compete for resources and just made me resignate to the fact that it was pointless get invested in that project until I myself could compete at max level with highest fly speed myself.

it not only ruins the mmo-rpg feeling of meeting people around the world, but it also put a huge damper on the mmo rpg feeling of keeping up with proffessions as you were leveling. Not even gonna go into how this has also enabled a larger scale of bots roaming freely in the open world because those who use bots for farming always find a way.

Just my opinion though,.

harryc8433: cant wait to no life classic plus with wille in the background again

Taco_Dealer: Dragonriding, for me, only gets used when I'm flying 3k or further generally.

I'd prefer to just have the speed on my reg mounts.

vitovazz: Delightful as always. You rock, sir.

cxxgard: I feel like BFA was the last expansion that really felt like WoW. It gets hated on a lot but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It just went so off the rails story wise and then leading into Shadowlands the game hasn't recovered its soul since.

ruellerz: Classic for life, forget the rest. Maybe yall will get Mythic torment immortal raids

Gemasted: It's crazy how every single feature just made the game so much worse, i mean even TBC had so many bad features added to it.

I'll stick to classic...

Joini50: I See WillE, I Click!!

nathones: Splitting spell caster gear between spell damage and plus healing was one of my fav changes

Mastermind12358: Most defining moment is playing Turtle for the first time, and realising what is possible when things aren't stuck in the stubborn incompetent greedy hands of blizzard.

solberg7065: The most impactful moment is pretty easy, that's the Cata release, because everything after have sucked.

terrodar19: We might be getting some of the biggest news in wow in a couple decades…. Hang on guys

sanremo112: I remember when they first introduced transmog there was no "unlocking" or collection system, you had to actually have the items in your possession. I was so glad that I'd kept my T1 & T2 sets and weaps in the bank for posterity.

nicapotato: Worth mentioning: the new retail talent system fixed much of the borrowed power problem. Dual "Hero" specs are also quite cool and good fantasy.

TheKainzor: I think that Transmog was a good idea, it's just the design how they delivered it.

It would be a better design if the transmog worked that it's like a rare scroll drop, where you have to either grind or buy on AH, it's a one time use as well. That way we wont have a niche Tmog system where everybody hates because u can just tmog whenever.

Tmog can bring also even more activity to the game which is healthier for the game, you have to earn for that Tmog scroll to get to tmog 1 item whilst also having to play older content to get the item you want to Tmog into.

Chrenno: There is smthg about seeing a new video of Wille pop up

thomassleziak1222: Cata also brought a raid finder, not only transmog. Unpopular opinion: cata had the best pvp of all the expansions, I played it for almost 10 years on private servers.

bigv3210: Am I crazy or does he have the factorio music playing the background? I am only at around 5-6 minutes in lol. Or am I crazy because I was just playing it myself?

aaroninstl: What mount is that at 4.01?

justinc17: Rip CoA Ascension WoW, the most enjoyable WoW has been since 2008 era.
