So far I don't have any real issues with Warmane server, I used to run servers of various types so I understand the GM's frustration about people who simple don't understand or want to get the answer they want or complain about it. Staff seems good so far about running the server. I enjoy it, I played before like 2 and half years ago, I didn't keep up with the news about account recovery so I lost all my toons. Which to be honest I don't care now cause I can afford to buy what I used to have. DPS in game is not like retail at least on the realm I am on, like it used to is what I mean. I recall DPS of 15-20k and most people on warmane barely know how to play up to 5-6k dps. But that could be a patch. Could be recalling the last patch before Cata which had the Talent system changed. I enjoy most of the players, however with the mixture of the people there is some very toxic players out there lol. Say little you will get far, say a lot and not back it up... Well your name may be known through out the server despite how many players play. Ninja looting will forever get you put on blast for those of you who are thinking about it. Hacking? I really haven't seen anything yet. Not even a bot which gets ban quickly it seems. So far never really ran into quest glitching and if I have I also recalling experiencing it on retail also. Like the DK quest line for starting if you do it to quickly it will mess up and no longer can get the quest to leave. (I can't recall the quest and I never seen blizzard them selves even attempt to fix that until cata)
So my list of pros and cons
Pros
1. Server runs smooth for the players it holds
2. Most people seem to know how to do the basics of DG's and most raids.
3. GM's take a lot on for I think 8 people? and they take care over 20500 players or more actively? Yea.. You try doing that.
4. Most people have a fair advantage even non-donors
5. Theres always a guild or a group of people that raid in your time area.
6. Most higher levels will help lower levels to level, gear, and get gold.
Cons
1. People are toxic and if you don't know your class well.. Better have thick skin buddy cause your world is about to be wrecked.
2. If your a donor, just be prepared for **** talk, hate, or the fact that you didn't buy shadowmourne.
3. Tmog is available but bit pricey to buy, and doesn't drop enough unless you do back to back raids 24/7 and even then maybe you will get one.
4. Server happens to crash when I raid lmao (Which is just the world server not the whole Warmane server itself)
5. How people raid on this server is... just straight out of some wacky crazy comedy show sometimes.
6. No one cares unless your willing to benefit them, if not your not useful. Lot of people are in it for themselves.
7. Gold beggers.... Jesus they don't care just open trade and they will straight up be like "give me gold now" like they deserved it or something.
Lot of my issues are really just players them selves. Not much you can report about because it happens so much... Also how quick people will report ninja looting half ****ing scared to even loot **** sometimes and accidentally click need on something. Kinda of another reason why I become a donator, rather have minimal risk of losing my account.
But besides that, this sever compared to others defiantly is my Top server. Cause I been on some... just terrible servers. I am having fun hitting things with my warrior or healing with my priest. Pretty friendly to the Americans so far no issues with anyone about my country, race, or background. Love to see the server grow and get better.
Hopefully I don't get in trouble for posting this, just how I see things from my view. I could put a lot more but rather keep those views to myself not trying to get a argument going on. Hopefully you guys enjoy Warmane also.
