How was ring war even possible in 2001?

This is actually the truth. The top guilds everyone remembers across all servers were barely able to clear expansions before the next expansion came out. Easily 99%+ of players never even raided the easiest stuff in an expansion by the time a new expansion was already coming out. Seeing a level 50 in classic was rare and confirmed someone had no life. Same for 60 in Kunark and ToV raiders in Velious let alone Sleeper.

P99 has a broken leveling curve for various reasons that causes everyone to level way too fast and stack up at max level with multiple alts before classic even ends. Charmed pets are abused in basically every group and raid scenario when in reality you can see the classic era posts from Enchanters wishing they hadn't played their class because it's broken as fuck and mob MR in planes was so high they weren't even trusted to mez mobs and instead just acted as buff bots.

I was there for the first 3 years. Can't speak for the rest of you.

Great post 👍
