Remember when you had to actually walk to instances, even if they were on the opposite side of the world in enemy territory?
Why, it took almost an hour to get there, not including the Horde players trying to start trouble with you.
Then you had to run the instance, which was a pain in and of itself. The mobs were packed tighter than a can of sardines. If you're lucky, you might've made it through with some crowd control and pulling techniques. Then when it was all said and done, the item that you needed never dropped. It just never did, fifteen runs of it and you still never got em. Either that, or you had to roll for it. I never was good at rolling.
I miss those times.

Rip nost
You were great, even tho you had chinks.
Godbless,
Last time i had that much fun playing wow was in 2006.
The players and devs judged that it wasn't a good use of your time so they removed that entire part.
All people want now is to repeat the same content every day as fast as possible, they don't care about the adventures they could have had on the way to the entrance, getting killed by an opposite faction player is almost seen as griefing.
It's sad.

Nothing like sending a whisper to a buddy to see if he's up for an instance run. Two competent people in an instance was all it took to really ensure a decent chance of getting to the end.

Hey man, I really needed that whirlwind axe for my Night Elf Hunter.

yup, some of my best memories are from running through enemy territories to get to an instance with friends or even random people you picked up in general chat who needed to go there too.
Played an undead engineer mage from vanilla to TBC, hearthstone set to burning steppes for MC/BWL access, can teleport anywhere, had gnomish teleporter to Tanaris.
I'd get anywhere within a few minutes, then spend hours making water/food for party members.
Good times.
I think the only reason we went to MC and BRD was the promise of loot and glory, I know every friday was a high because I might get a new weapon. Still I think pvp was the best. Being on vent with premades, guild vs guild, drama and garbage and laughs as I grinded to r14 and before every fight you'd get hype because you knew each of your opponents. Down to playstyle and even personality at times.
