Dear flailing dude in tradechat,
Okay, so you TOTALLY OMGOMGOMG SAW A TTLY LEGGIT LEAKED GRAPHIC THAT OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG PROVES BLIZZARD IS SHUTTING DOWN WoW IN TWO YEEEEARS OMGOMGOMGOMG
Yes, and? How genuine is this, really? Where did you get it, and who did you get it from? What site did it originate from? Have you checked on Snopes to see if your TTLY LEGGIT OMGOMOMGOMGOMG graphic is actually ttly leggit, as it were?
Until you do that, I'm not going to buy what you're selling, and getting up my nose because I politely said I take stuff like that with a grain of salt? isn't helping your case. And why did you get up MY nose when you were getting mocked and bashed hardcore by other people? I wasn't the one calling you creative and profane things.
Calm down ffs.

Dear crotchety 'Nilla veteran in crossrealmy tradechat,
You are awesome. You were into a great eloquent rant about the pluses and minuses of Vanilla WoW, and when I said, "this wrathbebbeh wants to know how often you got owned in AQ40 by C'thun's double eyebeam lazors of death pewpew?", you responded with "damn you wrath kids, back in my day C'thun was totally working as intended! GET OFF MAH LAWN" and I almost spat tea everywhere. We then proceeded to have a neat conversation in which we both squeed about Nagrand and hit the entire chat room with the groovy stick and got everyone waxing rhapsodic about the pretty sky in Nagrand, and like seven people admitted to sitting up on the floaty islands and watching the sky for ages.
It lasted all of a minute and then everyone went back to LFR/WTB/WTS and making fun of Snopesboy above...but hey, my night was made.
thank you, and beware of lazors!

"damn you wrath kids, back in my day C'thun was totally working as intended! GET OFF MAH LAWN
Pfffffffffffffft.
Oh, that makes my day too.
(Fucking Metzen fucking stupid Shieldwall Offensive, fucking stupid OOC bullshit at least I'm working on Unity again.)
(Unity is FTW. And the OOC bullshit actually has me working on AU malarkey myself. Garrosh and Varian caps-locking at one another in lieu of suicidal fighting on Arthas's doorstep=fun.)
Yeah I...did not stop giggling for a WHILE. The Crotchety One reminded me of the other WTFs that C'thun did, too, like spawning tentacles in walls such that the raids couldn't kill them all and the whole fight got SNAFU'd, or people getting eaten and then falling through the world, and how at first it was simply not possible for raiders to DPS hard or fast enough for the fight to work--C'thun was not even killable.
They also said that Cata's tough raid content was more hellaciously overtuned at first than the pickiest Vanilla fights, too, which...confirmed a few of my suspicions.
Wow, cata's raid content was overtuned? God, no wonder it kicked my ass so handily, so much. That was my first experience of at-level raiding, and it tore me to bits.
Apparently so. I mean, everyone will have a different opinion on this, but I've seen a bunch of 'Nilla oldbies make this statement. The general consensus among them seems to be that BC found the most comfortable balance. I don't raid, so I'm NOT an authority, but what I've seen the most is this: a lot of people found Wrath too easy and so Blizzard wanted to (a) fix that and (b) get their nostalgia boner on for Vanilla and WC1, and they ended up overtuning encounters horrifically, as well as taking BC's 'tricky boss shenanigans' and shoving some fights into picky gimmick-fest territory.
I've never seen or experienced it for myself, but I trust the people who've told me this.
lord, don't get me started on the damn gimmicks. That one where you have to phase to avoid a boss's ultimate attack. My GM still mocks me for that one -_-
The one that The Crotchety One said gave them rabies was the flying through rings in the firehawk figh. They said something like "Kael's crazy weapons? FINE! That made sense! But if I wanted to deal with exploding goddamn Sonic 2 bomb rings I'd drag my Genesis out of the basement and play a game that works and doesn't give me eye gouging headaches. Everything is orange, fuck you eternally Firelands."
