This is a funny chain we got going.

Modern WoW players tell people to go play Fortnite.
Classic WoW players tell people to go play Modern WoW
EQ players tell people to go play WoW

Whats next? Honestly I find the whole thing ridiculous. Its like your saying I have this perfect image of what the game should be, if you don't like it go play somewhere else. There is a pompous air about the statement. Almost as if you and your game with your vision are so 1337 that someone should go play something beneath them. It's an arrogant statement. I've been guilty of doing the same thing.

Why can't we all just enjoy the damn game how it is? So what I didn't get to play EQ until PoP, and even then I didn't play it much. We are all trying to experience the game how it was when it came out. A lot of us for the first time. Statements like you should play WoW only serve to hurt the community. By using that as a defense for criticism, you are setting a divide between new and old players.

Rather than saying just go play a different game, try educating your critics rather than dismissing them. It will make them better players and help close that rift that people like you love opening up because us newbies are just tainting the game for your purists.

Amen to this post.

I love modern WoW. I find it very rewarding to study and then master a new dungeon or raid. I get a totally different reward from EQ TLP and now P99.

It's possible to enjoy all of these things and I don't understand why it makes me lesser in some people's eyes.
