Here's a fond memory of classic and what made me quit the game. Well, the main reason were that PuG vs PuG bg's basically didn't exist. This was just the nail in the coffin for me
Our guild just didn't have the members to do BWL, and no guilds that did needed hunters. My friend finally found a PuG BWL that was going to run at 9am on a saturday, it wasn't soft reserve, it was just random /roll. I set my alarm and got in it. There were only 2 other hunters in the raid, the leader organizing it who was decked out in full T2 with the BWL xbow and needed zero items from it, and a scrub in greens/blues who joined last minute
During some boss before Chromaggus, we had to alternate a tranq rotation. The leader noticed the other hunter wasn't tranquilizing. We still won because the leader and I were keeping him tranq'ed. After the fight ended, the leader was asking why the other hunter didnt follow the rotation. No answer. Turns out he was the ONLY member of the raid not in discord. So we all had to wait 15 minutes while he went to dig out a headset and load discord because we wanted him for the tranq rotation on chromaggus
Got to Chromaggus, and turns out didn't matter that the scrub hunter found his headset, because he didn't follow the instructions to duck around the corner to avoid his breath attack and died basically in the first minute of the fight. So it was up to me and the leader to keep tranq up and we barely barely won that fight, had like 70% of the raid dead when we won
The scrub had basically died nearly instantly every boss, including Nefarian. He was also just about dead last on dps. Nefarian drops Dragonstalker Chestpiece and guess who wins the roll?
I remember throwing my headset down after that and saying "Yep, done with classic", and I quit and gave away most of my tradeable stuff like 2 weeks later
