Loot in Classic WoW

Whether it's from raiding, dungeons, crafting, or pvp, loot is the ultimate carrot on a stick in World of Warcraft. In this video I cover the importance of loot in Classic WoW in particular, and the evolution of the ways of handing out the almighty pixel.

If you have any suggestions, requests, or just general feedback let me know in the comments or with a message. I try my best to answer or at least read as many as I can.

I'm just here for the wow cursor pointing at items

All friendships go out of the window when Corrupted Ashbringer is on the line.

Mak'gora System is Best System.

Whoever wants one particular loot, strip down to your undies, pound your chest, and punch each other until only one remains. He gets the loot.

"I remeber loot from 15 years ago but I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday." True shit

[Thenlyy]

Madseason, it’s honestly amazing how every bit of background footage is perfectly correlated with what you’re talking about. You have an art of putting these together!

The "getting" loot part is so true, This happened in Wotlk, every guy that got shadowmourne quit a few weeks after getting it

Loot in classic WOW: 98% of it goes to Hunters, but they can't equip maces. So that means Sulfuras goes to Druids first.

the way you speak during your videos, makes me feel like i'm laying my head on your lap and you're stroking my hair, telling me a story

I like the simple rolling.
I've seen loot pass me by, mage blades, and other, then I eventuality won my mage blade and it was such a memorable experience.
I won't forget it, it was so exciting waiting for that super epic piece to drop and hoping you can win that roll.

All my gear, but TOEP, all other pieces came from pug's, and it was really fun and exciting winning loot this way.

Loot doesn't make me agree, it makes me super happy.
You have to have the right attitude.

What loot? People are getting loot in classic?

I was in a guild with a loot council and admittedly I was probably very lucky. From vanilla to lich king we very very very rarely had people disagree with the choices. Like you said, it kept people engaged and in the guild longer. Every raid, for the most part, everyone got something they could use.

I got into Classic a month ago and I have really been enjoying your videos. You help remind me of things I forgot through the years, and I even pick up a few new tricks too which is fun for such an old game. Keep it up Madseason

Love the use of the Goldeneye music in this video, really set the tone for how people go nuts over loot in this game. As always, another great video <3

[SvenS]

You know what really grinds my gears? Doing the same instance over and over again, just hoping for a specific item to drop, and then boom! That sucker drops on the first run with your alt who has no need for it...

The guild I am a part of does a combination of Free for All rolling and with a few caveats. First, you get two "premium" items and one "premium" weapon. Once you have your items, you are locked out of rolling until everyone in your role (tank, caster, healer, etc) has their items. Tier stuff is distributed based on rolls, but also trying to get people to meaningful bonuses. So if a t2 priest item drops, they favor people who already have two t2 items since the three set bonus on priest is a massive upgrade.

So far it has worked out, but I think it's party because everyone does seem to more or less want everyone to be at their best.

My first progression EQ guild had loot council. It, honestly, was incredibly fair. The GL and his wife ran the guild but they always passed loot to who needed the biggest upgrades.

We ended up being top 3 on our server for Velious, Luclin and Planes of Power. It was great

[getonleagueguys]

Look I'm just saying that the eye of sulfuras can be made into a good hammer and I think my hunter should get it.

[dat_lamp]

"Hunter weapon" The worst phrase ever.

[recklessroges]

"Loot makes people angry." .... "I'm on a loot council." Ah! So this is a therapy video. Good to see MadSeason taking care of their mental health.
