You could need on things you couldn't even use. ("We all NEED gold, right?") You could suddenly change to master looter on the last boss etc. And yes, sometimes that did happen. But most of the time it simply wasn't worth it, because you wanted to make friends and find people to play with repeatedly more than you wanted a single piece of loot. I don't see why loot trading would be any different.

(Yes, there are still people playing retail but it's a different game with different player.)<br /><br />In retail, Blizzard just gave up the mess they made with loot trading. They couldn't get it working and chickened out with their "always personal loot" solution. With Classic it's going to be much worse because Classic is about the community (which will be poisoned by this) plus the temptation to abuse it is going to be much bigger after e.g. a multi hour long UBRS run or your 39th Strat Undead for the cape.<br /><br />I would be fine with enforced personal loot in Classic. I don't think loot trading will work for me.Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-85600862051868575822018-11-15T05:18:36.618+00:002018-11-15T05:18:36.618+00:00I really enjoyed this post, not because it was muc...I really enjoyed this post, not because it was much better than your normal posts, Shintar, but because you did the hard work of listening to all the rants of the overentitled videos.<br /><br />But I do have to admit that I thought that the Hazelnutty Games post was funny as hell. If you're used to the "modern" way of doing things in video games, the old school mentality of doing something as simple as accepting a quest is going to be over your head.<br /><br /><i>constantly challenging random people to duels everywhere (people like that were definitely a thing) </i><br /><br />I laughed at this comment. I still remember the time when an L10 player challenged me to a duel on the airship from The Undercity to Org. I, being somewhere in the mid-40s or 50s, just laughed. He kept taunting me with comments like "chicken" and "pussy" and "wimp", but I just ignored him. (It happened again when I reached L80 in Wrath, and at that point I just put the toon on ignore.)<br /><br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.com
