There was a lot of stuff that was plain annoying and timeconsuming in vanilla . This was painfully obvious during invasions when it was nontrivial to fly at 310 % speed to stuff . Then you realized in vanilla you spent a lot of time walking similar distances . You would always soulstone the healer because a full run back could take 20 minutes or more . Dungeons were long , confusing and full of trash that could end you quickly if you didn ' t know what was coming . Warlocks and Mages had to pass out healthstones and food to each raid member individually . Blessings had to be redone every 5 minutes . Raids required 40 people and bosses dropped 2 items . The only class who could really tank was Warrior . I ' d love to run through vanilla with the conveniences of the present day , but I don ' t ever want to go back to just pure vanilla .
