Yeah and with the social dynamic and the systems being strictly in same realm instead of cross realm systems in instances and the world I wonder if it will actually effect in behavior of people since now you actually need to take in consideration your reputation in the realm. You can't just jump to group finder or find random people who you have no idea who they are to help you do some hard quests. If you are a shithead people in the realm will start to treat you like a shithead and vice versa.

And the whole issue of loot etiquette in dungeons with the return of normal loot opposed to personal loot. Back in the day it was common etiquette to pass rolls if you already got one blue item drop and let some other people get some loot as well opposed to random group finder where you just hog whatever you can with greed because you probably will never see those people again.

There's always SHIFT+B. That works in classic.

Yeah, I know. I'm a lazy ass and like my UI to work the same on both :P (I mean, I'm saying this while also using the Guild Wars 2 UI rather than the WoW one to play >_> <_<)

The only thing I'll miss in classic is achievements.

I'm enjoying myself though. Going to run some dungeons lateron

Why oh why do you not use an addon that merges all your bags into one? If I had to experience the game in a way that would require me to open five separate bags (five? wait, is it backpack plus four or backpack plus five? I'm not even sure...) and search for an item in all of them, I would ragequit.

This:


versus this:

My UI does have a combined bag but currently, it still has to trigger the opening of all bags via shift+b in Classic vs just b in retail.

Had once since Burning Crusade, and can't live without it.

Used to use Bagnon but was hoplessly broken on Legion and took their sweet time to update. Switched to LiteBag, and stuck to it ever since.

I know what you mean, Chewie. The first thing I actually did in Classic was to change the open all bags button from Shift-B to B.
