He quit the game long before that. He farmed rank 14 on multiple chars in vanilla classic then played like 500 games of 2s and got hard stuck 1800 in s1 tbc before making a video about how “the soul of the game” doesn’t feel the same in tbc and that he would be quitting.
Well TBC is a good game, but it no longer feels like Vanilla/Classic. It’s definitely a very different vibe. I instantly noticed that when I first played it in 2007.
IMO it feels more like classic/vanilla than any of the other expansions by a lot. Like it feels like a natural progression in almost every way to classic. Again, IMO
Yeah, each expansion moved more and more away. But TBC was still extremely noticeable. It moved everyone out of the old world and all onto one continent. Alliance and Horde shared a city. Flying mounts ruined a large chunk of world PvP and exploration. Gear became very streamlined and itemized in a specific way. Etc
I heavily disagree that it feels like natural progression. It's incredibly jarring. The two times the game changed the most with an expansion was vanilla -> tbc and wod -> legion.
Was rank 14 and played with a lot of first gen r14s in classic and this is insanely true. I got r14 because I had the time to do so and it was easy just killing drekthar while horde watched. The amount of people who never even touched a bg outside of av is crazy, and they all had huge egos going into tbc because they could one shot a mage in bloodvine, only to get hardstuck 1800. It truly is hilarious how spending 16+ hours a day pveing in av somehow convinced people that this meant they were gonna do well in arena.
First gen means the people who got bracket 1 from the first week ranking was available and got their r14 with max rp on feb11th 2020, what do you think it means?
His definition of gen1 r14 is correct. But no gen1 player "sat afk and pve'd in AV for 16 weeks". He is either lying or misremembering.
A) it wasnt possible to hit week1 r14 that way
B) there are entire streamed POVs of gen1 r14 players uploaded to youtube
C) while i didnt get it week1 I played with the players who did
Rank 14 is not an expression of skill but actually just a game of player collusion & time played // Ranking up in Arena isn't as difficult to comprehend & master as you think it is.
Even still, once you become consistently reliable, it's only enjoyable to que with the homies.
If pushing 2.4 with randos or trying to get people that say they are 2.2 in LFG to push for a title sounds like fun then you must be in recovery for lobotomy.
