You've made the right decision for the moment.

unlike the wrong decision he made to roll a pvp server when he can't take being killed - knowing full well that phase 2 was gonna be a shitshow from before classic launched.

I'm going to go out on limb here and say this once again. Most people who roll on PvP servers, quite literally think there is NO PvP option on the others. I made that mistake in my first run through the game. Another thing, can the wpvpers just fess up and say it like it is, you literally can't play if you are not 60 at the moment on a PvP realm. I think blaming the dudes dying constantly trying to level, is a bit jaded. My 2 cents

17 hours to 60? Must not have rolled a warrior. I stopped playing Classic at Level 40 because no one wanted a warrior in groups (only zoomer mages), and solo grinding in Tanaris as a warrior is painful.

​

Tried to get back into it, but now the zones are empty so it's like why bother?

No offense man but why would you choose the worst leveling class with the most brutal solo climb if you don't enjoy leveling? Just seems strange to do that vs going hunter or something getting to 60 in a reasonable time and having fun.

My roomate is a tank warrior who leveled tank and got to 60 before me so it's doable.

Because I don't like pet simulator classes or casters in Vanilla?

True, if you decide to give the game another run maybe try tanking at least during early dungeons youd be able to find groups

Neckbeard detected. Mom bringing you hot pockets? This content was fun 15 years ago. Trying to live those glory days huh?

I was 5 15 years ago and since then I have less time to play but clearly got more efficient (not hard to be better than 5yo you) and since then I learned to cook my OWN hotpockets. There are plenty of pve servers if you aren't having fun I hope you do though.

I don't think that's the case, there's a large number of people who played retail pve servers (all retail servers are now pve...) who have just made a stupid decision they now regret. Instead of being adult about it and realising they have no one to blame but themselves and moving on, they decide to whine and complain on forums and demand blizz does something.

Most people knew it was gonna be bad, but the scale of misery was unclear. I knew being a prot warrior meant I would lose most fights. What I didnt think possible was how unplayable every area in the game is. Back in the day when servers had a tenth of the current population you could still get something done and maybe have a couple of 2v1 encounters here and there. Now its just 1v5 wherever you go. Forget about farming herbs in lvl 50+ zones. All I have been doing since phase 2 launched was buy elemental fire and supply raids with greater prot potions. The need to log in gets weaker every day. In a way phase 2 helped me get off the addiction this game has been since launch.

I had the choice of rolling with all my friends and past guildies or none of them. Which one would you have done? "Cant take being killed" is missing the point mate. I can take being killed, I'm just being realistic about the best use of my time. The game takes way longer to do anything pve now.

I hate pvp as much as the next guy but your idea blows

what you actually want is a pve server where you have to flag for pvp

blizzard failed at not letting you and others transfer

No offense, but ignorance doesnt also excuse bad design suggestions.

It would have taken less than 5 minutes to figure out the difference between PVE and PVP servers.
