Classic WoW’s release in 2019 was a chance to go back to where it all started for so many of us. With Blizzard having just released their Anniversary realms we have delved back into a Fresh Azeroth for a 2nd time.
To celebrate, I wanted to look back to Blizzard’s first Classic and tell a few stories of how things were back then when far fewer changes were in the game, and people were a whole lot more sweaty.
These are The Top 10 Most DEGEN Moments of Classic WoW | World of Warcraft

As someone who played vanilla i remember talking to people who where rank one on our server and the way they maintained it was account sharing with guildies in different time zones. That level of uptime was necessary. Fucking crazy.
I purposely rolled on a pve realm this time around just to avoid the insanity that was pre battle grounds last time should they do it again.
You left out how some PVP groups would organize who would get Rank 1 for each week, and if anyone stepped out of line they were doxxed and given death threats.
Ah yes, how fun zerging to 60 to stand around and wait for raid.
Meta players are fucking losers lmfao more power to you if that's how you want to play but, turbo cringe.
On Classic Era, flasks are literally 1k gold each
I got to rank 10 back in 2006 or so. And I raided as well pretty hardcore. I had a lot of free time, otherwise I'd have had no chance. One of Draenors rank 14 farmers was also from the same country as me, Wales. She had been constantly hammering BG's for months and months. I never did find out if she got there or not, but she was annoyed about the changes in TBC pre patch where anyone could get the HWL gear with no rank requirements etc. I can see why, as that gear would have been replaced while lvling in TBC for anyone just getting it for that, but for those who had been farming for months would have kept it forever for obvious reasons.
Really tempted to go back to Classic, but whether I'd play the same class is another thing. Shaman was really dull to lvl and wasnt much fun at max lvl either back then, but with dual spec it might be less frustrating.
You know what is degenerate? Using demonic rune as a warlock (espeically in the burning steppes while farming imps for soul shards).
"BUT IT'S NOT ON THE GLOBAL COOL DOWN!!!!!"
There was a moment of realization in Vanilla WOW when people realized that with crit that Paladins were just the best healers and it was just not well received. Just at a certain gear level it was no longer competitive between classes.
The $4,500 Gressil from GDKP has to be top a top degen moment
wasn't there a point with silithid where people were mass reporting JUST to have exclusive rights to farm or was it something else i cant remember. though i guess either way that was also a degen moment from the community.
The serveur is for free or not ?
There are more degenerate moments in this video than you can shake your WillE at!!!
the raids were easy cuz we was using pre tbc talent trees not Og wow talent tree
Playing this game is the most degenerate thing you can do
Haha, yes very accurate. Though, I enjoyed farming world buffed players in OG back then
Thanks for this overview – now my tummy hurts 🥲
I had quite a good route in burning steppes that I frequented on my BWL/AQ40 geared mage, before and after the buffs and I had pretty great success getting them
because as the lotus farmers were all fresh 60 hunters, I had fun killing them 🙂 there was one time I had to kill FOUR(in succession, not simultaneously) before successfully getting a particular lotus. my gear made that possible as one shatter combo was enough to global one of them lol
I did everything on this list but dispelling WBs was not my thing.. Horde Gehennas ZUG ZUG!
Guys check out turtle wow it's just the best experience i ever had in the whole mmo i played, it's just amazing 🐢🐢🗡️🆒
12:48 — but it's true. Despite the fact that nearly every guild that wanted to clear Naxx did so in 2019 Classic, in 2006, something like ~1000 players did it. That's true; it's not misremembered.
god i miss those times
How much would scarab lord cost $?
is it sad that i took part in literally every point you made besides lotus camping? D:
Yes lets gooooo!!
I'd always drag the elite dragons from burning steppes into goldshire with my hunter and watch them kill all the scrubs
only saw 1 black lotus on Faerlina during all of classic and it was taken by a druid before i could get to it.
i remember befor 2019 classic came out ppl would always say the old 40 man raids were the hardest content the game ever had LAMO
1. Rank 14
2. Rank 13
3. Rank 12…. Etc
If the warlock buying Corrupted Ashbringer for Cata felguard isn't on this list I'll be smh
I 100% remember setting my notifications to max volume and waking up at 3am for world bosses. But dang it i got my 4-set of Eskhandar and procced that sweet ghost tiger in raid
way way back in the day we were on a relatively new server and AQ hadn't been opened. Our guild at the time was top PVE for that server with BWL on farm. So we decided to take the war effort into our own hands. I had an excel spreadsheet and we advertised to the entire server that we would be taking contributions for the war effort where we set levels of stuff like linen cloth that would earn you, for instance, a class tier set piece from MC, or a random drop from MC, etc. This was back in the day where raiding took around 40 people so if you were casual at all you needed a committed guild to do anything.
Once we had the ability to unlock because we'd completed the war effort we basically spent all night on alts trying to cross up the PVE guild on our server. We ended up holding until a Monday morning or something and spent the rest of the day ganking the horde guild rivals who only had a few diehards camping out the event start.
I still remember getting tons and tons of mail to turn in for the war effort and exploding random players in Ironforge with all of those random buff scrolls you would get. Good times.
Cry More, on Balnazzar circa 2005.
Fu for putting ads in youre videos
Mate almost 3 minutes of intro + advertisement… That's just not enjoyable in any way. The title says enough to skip the big intro.
P2 on a pvp realm really showed how human nature in degen videogames really gives you depressing relfections, the sheer amount of autism present in those days shames even the lamest mmo gamer in existence.
Entire game sounds lifedraining
People ganking because it's the meta to farm honor is not that degen, people ganking in classic now for no reward is worse.
Let's be honest, these things is what made classic feel like classic. Once you remove these things the game because a lot less memorable.
why is this so real?
I wish I could get ganked. I keep getting bored and can’t level
Honestly though 'the min-maxing world buff meta" should really be top 1 degen thing about classic
Idk about phasing tech being better. I’ve been phased 3 times while in combat and I just hit 20
to summarize, wow pvp is fucking stupid
Best moment is grizzly transferring to sulfuras, opening aq gates week one for us, and then being a holes on the entire server for a bit. But the entire horde got together and did not allow a SINGLE alliance player to get scarab lord.
moments" you mean moms?
Proud to say i did 10/10 of these 😀
We even had a spreadsheet of horde players so we cld track who we had killed that day to track honorless targets and had a 3rd account to check locations of the most horde/ horde we still needed to kill that day
Didn't mention bracket stacking in PvP. You'd need to create dozens of alts and have them run to a graveyard to be killed so that they would be included in the server's ranking calculations (more players in the pool meant bigger brackets at higher ranks).
And all this for some purples so you can do more DPS
