My head canon lore reason why trainers are no longer needed is because once our classes became the "whatever" in Legion, having become the "best of the best", we no longer needed trainers. We are the huntmasters and the archmages and whatever else now. Now we are the trainers.
that one (1) blood elf worker in charge of the reconstrcution of silvermoon city, who has been hammering away at some planks since TBC released has those goblins in booty bay beat... at least his work will see some progress come midnight, i guess
Orc peons are weird as hell, you've got this race of honorable warriors, challenged by an inner rage that must be contained and a great focus on their individual clans... But they also appear to have an under-caste of Peons, practically-mindless laborers that perform any and all hard labor needed by the horde. At least they have Peon Day now and get... Well not a lot but some respect for being the backbone of the Horde.
There's actually a youtube short on the official wow youtube channel where a mage who just graduated from mage school got assigned to holding the portal open forever, so yeah, bad job lol
@@potetstappe666 I'd be totally for seeing them have a table out, having a smoke, and snark talking about everyone taking portals like on how lazy is a mage to take the portal instead of conjuring their own.
Fun one. I was hoping that #1 would be the player character heroes, because they continuously save the world over and over again and basically never get thanked for it lol
Those Booty Bay Goblins are just Americans working on the roads. There's this one stretch of a highway outside of Jacksonville that's been worked on since _before_ 2012. I can't remember when it started, but it's still being worked on, as slow as molasses.
Nerzhul when he sees all these portal makers all over azeroth: should have asked for help before i tried to do the job of a hundred mages, on my own, and without the hero class necessary for it
2:43 amazing reference to the band Siouxsie and the Banshees, main singer’s name is Siouxsie and her husband Budgie (real name Peter EDWARD Clark) was the drummer of the band, always following her around and venerating her like a puppy
I would like to begin a program for portal mages called the Portal Out Reach Team or PORT that will supervise and provide a mandatory 20-30 minute break for all portal mages to rest and recharge their mana. Please donate just 63 cents a day to give these portal mages the care and understanding they deserve. If you donate in the next ten minutes, you'll receive this commemorative PORT T-shirt to show you care. That's less than a cup of coffee and much less than a gallon of gas. Please give!
I've always wanted a way to do 1v1 arena. I say this because dueling is fun, but it's not cross server, and there aren't a lot of good places to duel. If the class trainers were a method of Testing Your Skills, they could queue you up for a 1v1 arena with 2 modes. A mirror match for that class, or complete randoms. Awarding a small amount of Honor and Conquest, and maybe a loot box with random PVP gear/items equal to ilvl. For PVE, they can queue you up for scenario quests/dailies. Quests would be like the dungeon of Exile's Reach, awarding fair amounts of gold and ilvl gear, while dailies would be similar to the weapon specialization quests of Legion. However, the quest would award a once-a-day 20hr buff(stays even after death) that gives a minor % boost in stats, and (because this is WoW) a currency that allow the purchase of Tmogs of rare weapon for that class. Faster the completion of the scenario/spec quests would award extra gold and currency. It'll revive some of the old school feeling like the Warlock and Paladin quests of vanilla(Classic), whilst giving pvp'ers a place to practice new meta.
Class Trainers should get a update. Heck Classes in general should have the return of the good old ways of learning your spells back so that the Class Trainers can finally have their old jobs back again.
The convenience of not having to visit a main city every two levels to learn new spells is worth the NPCs becoming obsolete, imo, but I'd love a return to class-specific quests for major abilities / gear upgrades. Every 10-15 levels seems reasonable.
@@WriteWrongs This seems like a good compromise. Go do a short thematic quest starting from a class trainer to get your iconic, fantasy defining abilities, but otherwise get spells mostly from simply levelling up and from talents. Things like getting totems as a shaman, or rogue poisons, or mage portals.
As much as I do like the autolearn, I would like to have a reason to go to the trainers. Let them offer some class quests, minor customization of spells, or even specialty spells like conjure fireworks for mages.
@7:55 I have only one thing to say about the goblins working on their town for 16 or so years. Ahem, ahem (clears his trhroat): Welcome to Greece!! 🤣🤣🤣 And more specifically, to Thessaloniki. We have been trying to build the underground railroads (or some people might know it as metro) for the last 100 or so years.
The worse thing about the Darkmoon carnies is since they removed first aid from the game, the injured carnies aren't even getting healed by random adventurers anymore.
I work at a real life hospital where construction has been going on for fifteen years now. I've been there fifteen years, it could be longer. They are getting things done but it never ends. They have been working on the elevators for two years now.
Another thing they could do to add a little bit of immersion is have the portal mages swap out and take shifts, then maybe add a little RP area to the mage tower where they chill out and replenish their mana and such
Class trainers is one of those things that I wish would be re-implemented. Learning something in the middle of a quest is a lot less fulfilling than traveling to the capitol to learn everything from the last few levels.
I would like to mention that in Valdrakken Auction House there's actually 2 or 3 different auctioneers for the middle area and there not always there at the same time
I would love to see class quests return, or some other point to class trainers. I like automatically learning skills but I also feel like never having to consult with anyone about anything to become one of the literal strongest people in the entire world feels weird.
There's one you missed. It's just one guy, but damn, what a nasty job. You're in Draenor after going through the portal and battling your way through the first part. You're sent on a quest to get some black powder and you find an orc named Ga'nar chained to an outhouse. He's emptying buckets of fluid (ewww) out of the outhouse into a pit. You have to get a key to release him. You find it, unlock the chain and he says "I swear by the spirit of my father, I will make them pay, but first, I think I'm going to wash my hands." That has to be the worst job in all of WoW.
I like to think the portal mages aren't the same person 24/7. Like, in the "real" Azeroth, the same thief-catcher doesn't just walk around the city without sleep or food 24/7. They switch around for a different mage when nobody's looking. Don't they have randomized appearances?
I feel most bad for the class trainers out of all of these because they are actually just pointless now. They went from indispensable to forgotten. Poor guys.
I'm so there for the portal mages taking breaks! It just cracks me up thinking about rolling up to the portal room and them being out for a smoke or a sandwich 😂
Correction: "Lazy peons" was a tutorial objective in one of the warcraft game. Not (just) World of Warcraft, but Warcraft, so we had been beating those poor guys since way earlier than mention here.
Any NPC from Goldshire should had been on the list. First there's Horde players that keep eliminating them to troll new Alliance players...and then there's the debauchery and crazy stuff.
The goblins in Booty Bay and the irradiated workers have it the worst, they've been at it for over a decade with no rest, the tired peons are atleast famous for taking naps in the middle of their shift.
Hey Crendor I love your pointless top tens. I never played WoW when it was really big. I want to play, but I feel like there's just so many years of content that it's overwhelming. What would you recommend for someone completely new to WoW?
I think putting the portal mages and other similar npcs on a work/shift cycle would add a lot to make the game feel more immersive. Npcs just standing there like frozen statues for days always took me right out of any game I'm playing.
crendor isn't wrong about class trainers being pointless now. its a real shame they serve no purpose any longer, and i often wonder why they're still in the game even.
I'll tell you why #3 exists, crendor. Even though you already know the answer. BLIZZARD BARELY REVISITS THEIR OLD EXPANSIONS IN RETAIL. It's a dumb method where they constantly add rather than go back and revisit, because going back and fixing things might be less feasible than adding in a new place entirely. Instead of "Let's go back and freshen up the Old World after the Cataclysm so people can have a new aesthetically pleasing experience" that'll take them probably 10 years to churn out, they're doing the whole "OOH! LOOK! A NEW AREA, WITH NEW MECHANICS, AND NEW THINGS TO DO!" And yet Vanilla servers just proved that that model doesn't really work anymore. I mean, Dragonflight is a decent enough expansion and it's a welcome one after the absolute worst expansion ever, but I'm curious how players are going to react to The War Within. Because at this point the devs are just grasping at straws trying to find enemies and areas to put into the game that half the time didn't already exist in lore. Sorry, that turned into a rant. If you made it this far, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Why is cleaning a bad job? It's one of the cornerstones of our civilization. Clean = healthy. It's like you live in a fantasy reality without bacteria and dirt and that is just a sad level of insanity.
