True, but holy shit, they're without a doubt the worst class now, skill-for-skill, gear-for-gear.

Every class has to be the punching bag once in a while, it brings balance and humbles players who've had it too easy for too long.

That said, Wrath showed you that you could easily roll a FOTM class and gear it quickly. I guess with Cata you can still roll the class easy, just gearing is a slower transition.

I really hoped they would change the game so you could have only one class, per account, per server. I might be wrong on that but i think it would fix a lot of the current issues that have developed since players could have 2/3/4/5 characters at end game status on the same server.

I agree fully with what Uzique said, it was better when tanks were tanks, healers were healer and dps were dps and the lines were clear. I think people, on the whole, could play their class much, much better back then.

i still occasionally get horny to play WoW, but when i think about it... the experiences and 'memories' that my mind dwell on are almost all pre-60 or vanilla. that 'omg!' period of playing when you're still amazed with the game and don't yet know its finite limits. the game nowadays just feels so small and as though there's no real exclusive challenges-- i'm sure the 85 endgame is proving tough, but it just doesn't have the same 'feel'. if blizz ever set up vanilla servers for those not wanting to buy the expansion packs... i would play again in a flash.

Yeah I just leveled my rogue up to 85 cuz my buddy started up again. Even in shitty ass gear, with recuperate, talents to improve it, and quick recovery, I can pretty much tank any class thats got better gear than me. I wish rogues were still bursty. I miss 3 shotting people with ambush a sinister strike and an evis....

I'm still puzzled by the fact they released a five level expansion, don't get it.

That was at the end, when everyone who was getting owned left and unlucky people queued into the BG.

But yeah, they were awful. We got 2/3 and just farmed them for KBs and honor, lol.

I love how you're still commenting whilst only being level 82 and not having played the expansion at all.

PS where did I claim to be the next best rogue in WoW?

lol. Go away until you've hit level 85 and played 12 days at that level like me, nobody cares about your golden memories of vanilla.

hahaha I'VE PLAYED 12 DAYS AT LEVEL 85

hahahahahahaha the funniest thing i have heard in this thread in ages

finray it's cute when new players start to get an ego because they've experienced the easy content and think they know shit :3

there's nothing you know about the rogue class that you cannot/have not got from a cookie-cutter website

keep your head down and stop giving us inane screenshots

Nah, it's cute when you start thinking you have any kind of say in this thread, where we're discussing the game as it is not, when all you do is bitch and moan about the good ol' days and don't even play the new content.

Go away until you've hit level 85.

i don't need to have played your precious level 85 content to say that a screenshot of you "being untouchable" in a BG is lulz-worthy.

omg a rogue with a healbot beat a poorly-organized PuG in a BG! finray is "untouchable!"

45 minute arena PvP video coming soon on warcraftmovies.com

"horde are literally unable to touch me"

viz.

'poorly organized group of randoms there to farm free complimentary pvp gear cannot beat me with a healbot'

if you could point out what in your post hints at sarcasm then i'll give you a pat on the back.

because i've read a lot of satire in my time and there isn't really anything there to mark it
