So... Vanilla gaming.

You might know that Classic WoW (the one without any expansions) is often referred to as "The Fun WoW".
That might be true in most cases, but people that play the latest expansion don't seem to like it.
I've read on some forums that people say that Vanilla was fun only because it was new at that time. Some say it's fun because it had no extra stuff (hence the name "vanilla" as in plain). Others claim they think it was fun, because  they feel nostalgic when thinking about it.
I must say, it's more fun to me than WotLK. Not sure about Cataclysm, cause i haven't played it.
Vanilla is harder, that's what makes it more rewarding. When you've seen a man, with an epic item, you knew where that item came from, and what did it take to get it. In WotLK, you see a man with an epic item and you don't even know where did he get it, because you don't even care. I'm saying that as the expansion get released, you get flooded with tons of new gear that you don't really care about. Your only goal is to replace all of it with something that you can call "the best".
Racing with other guilds to be the best.
What does "the best" even mean now. To be able to grind your way through all available content in a matter of hours? To not be able to stop and look around to see the world you're playing in?
Don't know about you, but i'm still up for exploring new stuff, and not just rushing through it so i can be "the best".
Anyways, before i turn this post into a self-obsessed one, I'm gonna finish this really nicely.
If you want (and if you have played WoW at some point in your life) tell me what you think about this?

Best regards
