Because the game is just out, there's a quest based in the cave, you kill a mob that is on a timer.
So they're waiting to kill the one mob, th en leave .

If they want the real classic experience they should all stand around waiting for someone else to kill the mob so they can loot it.

But from my understanding they don't have to wait in line, any of them can start the quest at any time, so why make with a line? Are people actually doing it for fun or because if they cut the line an play they'll be blacklisted or banned from the server?

In my world people play games to escape the chains of social ques and demands so this is utterly baffling to me that people would willingly throw themselves into that where they don't have to.

Yesterday we were like 10 people waiting for a mob to spawn so we can tag it. All on top of each other. Both my husband and I are playing mages. Our only hope was to clobber it with our staff right as it appeared. We ended up getting it and some folks were bitching in chat lol

Great times

Only one person can tag a mob in Classic, and respawn times are slower than regular WoW.

vanilla wow is actually a lot more fun than modern wow if you played it on release.
but going back to it there are many QOL missing
thankfully peopel are porting off addons.
so it's not that bad

Troll can cut the line and kill the mob over and over.

Who could stop him then?

You'd get blacklisted by the community.
Though you could just pay for a name change

You do realize the fans basically forced blizzard to release this?

Literally the opposite of what you said.

Blizz didn't market it.

They marketed bfa which the fans ironically didn't like very much.

You are assuming the troll wants to do the rest of the content and not just troll people.

Or more accurately Blizzard was having a near meltdown realizing that private servers that were buggy as fuck were getting donations and charing for premium stuff.

Not really fans and just people stuck in the past. Same reason Diablo 2 is barely alive now.
Because people don't want to change.

Maybe a quest helper. Anything with coordinates (so you can check things out of game and just get the rough coordinates and go find it), something to combine your inventory to one screen. Maybe auctioneer whenever it's out (or whatever it is that lets you scan the marketplace).

Antifar had made one major error though. He'd ignored the sign that had cautioned him about cruelbuffalos wearing turbams. There was a key in between them.

I'm pretty sure there's some intergration with Twich's app and Classic addons either now or soon so you can add them in. But it's literally just "google addon, download, unzip, paste to:
..\Battle.net\World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns
(or whever the clien for WOW is)

But outside of a bag addon I don't see much need when leveling. But I'm running a warlock so I can solo most things. Group/partying might need something
