Trying to comprehend what the fuck the top text is saying and suddenly realizing why the second panel has an Albanian flag.

Kargath is great because of location. Not aesthetics.

The location brings lots of people tho. Free portals, locks, raiders getting ready, low levels catching up, bised characters afk. Stuff like this makes the world feel more alive. Love classic

It does feel like classic players hate on retail more than retail players hate on classic lmao

It's literally the "I feel bad for you" "I don't even think about you" meme lol

I run a fairly big guild on retail and no one even thinks about classic aside from occasionally checking it out when a version they like does an update (usually SoD)

Yes, retail players don't give a fk. They just play thr game and enjoy it. It's classic gamers who for some reason have to justify themselves playing an older version of the game, I guess.

Well retail has content even outside of instanced raiding so people are to busy

Yes, but classic players don't hate on retail as much as retail players hate on retail.

This is true on reddit, but not so much on other platforms. I remember when Shadowlands launched and ended up being really bad, tons of retail players on the official forums and a bunch of discord servers were explicitly blaming classic players for making their game worse because of developer priorities etc.
It got really, really nasty for a while.

I hate the phrase "rent free" but it really does apply with classic players and retail lol

It stands to reason that part of this is that retail players are either too young to have played the original xpacs, or played them and decided that they like the direction WoW has taken. So classic isn't even a blip in their minds.
Classic players are overwhelmingly people who once played retail but either quit, or play less now, as they see it missing something that classic has. Their opinion of one game directly impacts the game they choose to play.
That's ignoring the subset of people who play and enjoy both though.

Yeah exactly! Classic only exists at all because people didn’t like retail and wanted to go back.

Let's be real here, that's just a WoW player thing in general. I hate to be the "both sides" guy, but you'd be shocked how quick some players will jump to defend retail over the tiniest implication that maybe Classic WoW has some positives that retail doesn't.
I will say that Classic WoW players probably do it more, but I think that's because that version of the game doesn't get as much attention as retail does. In fact, I'd argue that the general animosity of Classic players towards Retail has actually gone down since SoD came out, but maybe that's just my perspective.

After playing classic and retail for some while I'm gonna say it's def way more one sided than another....

u/Heatinmyharbl 10h ago
Anecdotal of course but I haven't seen anyone on retail in game or on r/wow even so much as mention classic in years
Meanwhile it's brought up nearly every day by classic players :v
I play and enjoy both

u/Curtkid6 7h ago
The reddit community is far better about that, I'll admit. It's the Twitter community that seems to do the bulk of the complaining, though, now that I think about it, that might be less of it being a WoW thing and more of it just Twitter being awful.

I have played a ton of both, enjoy them both, and in my experience classic players will take every opportunity to shit all over retail
Retail players literally don't even think about classic at all

It gets kinda tiresome. Same in the WoW subreddit, almost any positive comment about classic is downvoted.

as a vanilla played I always hated kargath. Middle eastern kingdoms has always been the most boring part of wow. it's just desolace but charred and bigger

u/valdis812 9h ago edited 3h ago
As strange as it may sound, I don't hate those zones. But for some reason, I absolutely can't stand Desolace.

u/Recknepsuwu 6h ago
i thought i liked Desolace. I have a lot of memories of leveling my original Alli char there back in the day but man, I did it on Horde this go around of HC and it has to be my least favorite zone in the game

u/arandomguy7891 23h ago

Please... kargath sucks dick. You only set your hearth there because it's the closest one to mc and bwl. Nothing was more freeing then being able to drop that shit in aq40+ phase when your guild decides to no longer run bwl.
