Made in the past, stay in the past
I quit retail WoW years ago at the end of MoP, because i never really felt good about paying on a monthly basis for something you can't hold in your hands + many in-game problems that i will describe below. The game purposely made it possible to harass other players, emotes for spitting on them, showing middle finger and the list goes on forever, killing important NPC's or low level players for the sole purpose of just bothering them. It's like the game are crying out to all the problem children and adults, that this is the game to play if you got low intelligence or a problematic childhood and feel like taking it out on somebody. This cost retail wow millions and about half their customers, so why would stormforge even make it possible again in their version of this game? Also the support was beyond terrible and in-game balance the same. Some classes were allways over represented since the dev's purposely made the game so some were better than others for whatever reason. The core functions of the game were changed like a million times, yet allways left some classes to be way better than the others?
Years after i quit, i decided to give the private servers a shot before making my final statement about this game, so i tried stormforge, sadly they pretty much mimic retail wow both for good and bad, problem with that is, that all the same mistakes also remade. For some reason this game attracts mostly bad manered people that will be as downright cruel as possible since the support lets stuff like that go so they won't lose custommers, evil or not. There's many bugs too, some so obvious that it makes you wonder how stormforge could have missed that. All in all, WoW was dying years ago and still is to this day, it's just getting worse day by day. My guess would be that it's mostly due to the political incorrectness players are openly allowed wield, wether it's harassment, racism or just being a bother to others, noone cares to play or pay for a game where that will happen every time you play, either to you or someone else. Generally it's time to bury WoW in the grave they dug for themselves, both retail and private servers, because there's simply way better games out there.
