my biggest regret was buying this game in 07
Doing dumb stuff like AV afk macro'ing, exploit model editing and heavily botting. I was an edgy teen who enjoyed breaking rules back in those days, it was really stupid in hindsight, I really miss those characters!
I wish I had just played smarter and been more efficient with some of my play time. I hope this time around I can manage my play time better.
If I could undo my buys of mounts and boosts in nu-wow that would be great
Joining a Brazilian only guild (ugg) that couldn;'t even clear MC. Then persisting on it, thinking I was good (misled by bad advice) until TBC came out and I began taking the game seriously. First MMORPG is tough, I had no idea how to behave and where to look for info, took me months to figure that out.
I regret not PvPing more when Arathi basin was new.
Playing so much¯_(ツ)_/¯
jk worth
Playing so much
This is unheard-of...
My biggest regret in classic wow was not getting to at least Rank 13. At my PvP peak as a 14 year old night elf hunter I think I got to rank 8/9/10? Playing completely solo.
Looking back now with 10 years more experience in gaming, I realise how close I would have been if only I joined a PvP guild/group.
Maybe this time around it’ll be different.
Not playing. I was big into EverQuest at the time (still am) and the prevailing opinion of WoW is that it was an easy mode MMO for babbies. Although that criticism wasn't entirely inaccurate, I decided to try vanilla WoW out with Nostalrius and now I'm really looking forward to play on the official classic servers.
Not exactly in WoW, but losing all my Vanilla screenshots and guild progression movies due to system reinstall. The earliest screenshots I have are already on BC pre-patch. :( I also regret losing contact with all but two WoW friends.
During Vanilla WoW I guess I don't regret much. Maybe going for T0, T1, T2 sets as a mage while these were not the greatest for min-maxing. I loved the look of those sets though. People were also kind of impressed on our first MC to see me wear complete Magister's Regalia.
I wish I would have played more when I enjoyed the game, you never really realize that some moments are the greatest, until after they're gone.
I started playing wow the first week it released. Made a night elf druid. Game was insanely awesome, completely blowing me away immediately.
Could not figure out how to get off of Teldrassil.
Eventually stop playing completely. Only start playing again near the middle of vanilla, hitting level cap shortly before TBC released.
Regret
Not pushing Arena or RBGs harder.
I was 110% in on Vanilla and got just about everything accomplished that a Priest could want during that time frame.
I do regret giving my 2nd (Rank 11) account away from Vanilla though. I dont have any of that awesomeness on live right now.
Is your character named after the rock or the movie?
I regret getting into the game in the first place because it consumed the past 7 years of my life. I also regret not getting into it sooner because I missed my opportunity to get Ashbringer and experience awesome stuff like the Corrupted Blood incident.
I regret switching my main. In Mists I switched to Pandaren Monk and in Legion I switched to Demon Hunter. I feel bad for not staying on my main until now. My Shaman has so many cool things and legacy items and now Im sad that all the stuff from later expansions are scattered across many different characters.
Besides that, maybe not being more engaging with my guildmates from my home town - I was so lucky to find people i clicked with. Not in contact with any of them anymore except one.
Not grazing enough when I was a young buck - I wasn't getting the carbs I needed so I became a Beta.
I'd want to say that I regret not having been in a good guild in Vanilla but I honestly think I was too new to MMO's to handle the climate. I was too used to the sporadic nature of Diablo.
SO I will go with wasting TBC with my ex PVPing. She hated doing any prep work for raiding that I really wanted to do so we just PvP'd most of the expansion. Badly at that. I still had some great times and a lot of fun thankfully but I really missed the boat on Black Temple, etc.
I regret not playing sooner, I was playing Lineage 2 back then in vanilla times and only tried WoW when TBC came out. I was pretty fun Lineage 2 with friends but I wish I tried vanilla back then. Now I can do it!
For trying to level, until around 35, as a FIRE mage. Man was it easier when i switched to frost.
