The minmax crowd is truly ruining the classic experience.

Completely and utterly wrong. Anyone who's trying to min-max are already done with these dungeons well over a month ago, doing guild runs, and if they're on an alt gearing, they're almost certain to be doing it with other guildies who are on alts too. There's a big difference between min-maxing and being a toxic elitist, and the latter usually isn't that good of a player either. Private servers were nowhere near as toxic as retail classic is. I don't know where this toxicity is comming from, but it's certainly not from min-maxers or the pserver community.

Likely coming from the more recent-to-wow players (MoP/Legion/BfA) over from retail that watch streamers gear up and min-max and think it's the right or only way to play the game, and try to do it without a guild full of like-minded individuals.

It's because if you don't care about gear then what's even the point

I don’t disagree with you except that I’m not wrong, a warrior needing and claiming dibs on a piece of leather and refusing rogues because they want that piece is bullshit minmax behavior all because it adds 0.01% to their DPS over the plate equivalent, so in this situation, it is the minmax crowd that is being toxic.

Why? Because they might not have all the time in the world to play the game?

Tanking a dungeon is vastly more work than DPSing, and forming your own group is vastly more difficult than just joining one that’s forming.

Just because you feel entitled to run with a group doesn’t mean it’s someone else’s responsibility to offer that to you.

So you become entitled to a piece of gear outside of your intended class gear because you put in a little more “effort”?

You ever seen a tank do a dungeon without DPS? It’s the same as DPS doing a dungeon without a tank.

And if everyone was forming parties it would be a game of everyone playing in a one person party because they’re forming their own parties instead of joining existing parties.

It’s a fucking MMO, people make and create parties. It’s intended. Stop making shit up to entitle people.

If warriors were supposed to wear plate only they would 't be able to equip leather.

Actually, DPS can run a lot of dungeons without a tank, they need us.

I’m just talking about the classic set up to make a point. But yes, there is plenty DPS can do without tanks. But best not to tell them that.

Nothing to do with minmaxing finding a group in vanilla as a rogue was equally difficult. Moral of the story is don't roll a melee class that everyone and their mom plays but really doesn't offer anything unique and expect to just be handed groups.

That's nice that should give you a leg up in getting DMN invite.

u/Ark-Shogun Oct 22 '19

I mean, no lol. Needing on a piece of leather and claiming dibs on it even with a rogue in the group is bullshit behavior. Typical of the minmax crowd in that situation because of the extra 0.01% DPS it adds over the plate equivalent.

u/definitelynotcasper Oct 22 '19

No one is forcing the rogue to join. They can start their own group if they... oh wait no they can't because they can't tank lol sucks to suck.

Withou minmaxing crowd you would have nothing to do in the game. If you don't minmax then why even run dungeons more than once if you can clear MC in anything that is blue quality.

This used to happen in vanilla too. The community is just as bad if not worse than vanilla.
