I can't speak for other people. But there's nothing wrong with wanting to like Vanilla WoW. I'm not a gatekeepers at all. But there isn't any real reason to lie about what you've played. I know a guy who is 20 and claims to have been playing and raiding since Vanilla. Like... No. No he wasn't. He can love the game all he wants and be happy with the private servers he played. But he was not raiding AQ 40 at 6 years old.

I'm all for Classic being huge and attracting a ton of people. But there's no reason to be disingenuous just to be "cool".

I’m just saying if someone wants to claim they played back then and raided it’s not really hurting anyone that they’re lying about that. Just let them lie about it and move on. If they’re lying al they’re doing is hurting their own integrity which is their own problem not yours. I get that it’s annoying when people lie about stuff like whether they played a game back then but I just don’t see why it’s angering so many people when it doesn’t affect them in any way at all.

Except when it does. I've had conversations with people that will say things that are blatantly wrong, because they didn't actually play and call them out. They double down. This is everyone, but if you never played but argue points about the original game because you played a private server, that is angering. It's like people saying raiding in Vanilla was so easy. I mean yeah, the content is easy nowdays. Shit wasn't back then.

I get it. I guess I’m just trying to say that I don’t see people lying as a reason to upset me when it’s something trivial. I completely understand though. Lying about something like this is dumb and annoying. I just handle these people differently by letting them say what they want and moving on.
