got back to retail a month ago (and left again already, got bored). new 120, got him up to ilvl 430, wqs all day, normal dungeons, heroic dungeons, no interaction at all.

sure, for m+ you need to talk to people, to get a group up and whatnot but i too think that in retail the communication is kept to a minimum.

my friend leveled her first character in classic, with her boyfriend, and then started playing retail, and one of her first questions was "why isn't anyone talking in trade chat besides recruit spams, and boosting?"

everything is streamlined. dungeon queues, bg queues, raid queues, and the game being easier, the leveling content being completely soloable.

Uhmm boosting spam is all I see in classic

True for leveling but I agree it is soloable and so Is classic it’s just more difficult
