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

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....

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

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
