Message: [QUOTE="YuriSukiSan, post: 40129, member: 97866"] I think it would be better if you defined what you consider being social, or at least, what you feel qualifies as that? If it's not what you think I said.. And as for roleplayers being unique, the majority of people weren't roleplayers back in the day either but there was still a living, breathing, community on these servers because that's just how the game was designed to be from the get go. I don't blame casual players for being casual, I do resent the likes of reddit and who ever else that complain that Classic isn't retail, but I don't blame them as a whole for the decisions Blizzard made. The mentality and breath taking entitlement some of these people have is a problem, this me, me, me, me! attitude but I don't think it's the casual players fault as a whole. In regards to retail (at a glance) since Dragonflight it does seem like they're trying to make it less of check list of chores and solo grinds but the M+ maze where you spam dungeons with randos isn't what I could call social honestly, you aren't having conversations, getting to know each other, you're typically just spam inviting whichever mercenary has the highest ilevel. And the players are recruited from every server connected to yours, so it's not like you'll ever see them again or ever run in to each other in the world because you simply don't need each other, you get your key done the fastest way possible then promptly ditch them. And I'd say I partially agree that Classic WoW is generally more social, the initial launch in 2019 was actually a very unique experience on the right servers - initially - but what preceded that wasn't ideal either. People are more social than on retail but still much less than they used to be, it's very common for someone to wordlessly invite you for a kill and instantly leave with out a word once the mob has been tagged for them. Players will straight up blank you unless they need you. They'll take chests you're fighting for, ninja from you, etc, there's no real social etiquette or community to spirit to speak of. It's a very hollow experience. That's about as social as it gets unless you're sat in a discord chat. The type of community that non-streamer servers had in 2019 just isn't present anymore, that type of apathy I described towards other players is more way pronounced on the PVP servers but it's still very much present elsewhere.
