>>715746158oh yeah i forgot to mention that the time gating of raid content that nost made popular which made classic wow feel less like vanilla actually did because everyone got BiS gear before the next raid came out then immediately complete new raids within like 45 mins of their release.
wow 1.6 balance with more raids out at once would have made classic feel more like vanilla back in the day, but its whatever. the WoW raid meta is a forced meta hardly anyone even liked back in the day which is the reason only like 1% of players bothered completing nax back then
