It's funny because modern WoW doesn't make sense to me. I stopped playing when Aryin was level 63, barely into the Outlands... When I started finding green drops that were better than my high-tier raid gear. I was so demoralized after the ridiculous amount of effort I put in to be finding junk drops on trash mobs that was better, you know what I mean?
Because I quit so early, I just never really watched all the changes happen that make WoW what it is today. So when I play Classic it feels "normal" to me.
