Autumnal
Bruce Baugh, Writer of Fortune
It took literally only weeks for almost all of the people who’d most prominently made noise about how good it was that Classic would bring back slow leveling and gear progression to be joining in power leveling runs designed by private server aces. When I briefly tried it a couple years later, random passersby would harangue me to get out of leveling zones and into proper speed-running groups. It was weird.Ion mentioning that Classic is now played with people with modern expectations about doing stuff the "right" way and competing for their second-hand version of world first makes me want to stay the heck out of Classic.
