Top Comments of this video!! :3
in my opinion, the elitism killed Wrath Classic. Nobody wanted to even kill the Lich king even like a month later into ICC. GDKPs ruined the fuck out of this as well. Everybody became greedy for loot and gold. Nobody wanted to kill Lich King like I always intended to do since I was 10. I finally got my chance now... but very sour because raiders would get mad over the littlest of things and always blamed DPS. I just wanted to kill the lich king. Unnecessary guild drama and GDKPs on top of everything else just soured it for me

I'm not sure Wrath Classic exactly "failed"... I still had much less problems finding a raid at most times of the day than in the original Wrath (probably because much less servers now?).
For me, there are several other reasons as well, some of which probably tie in with the WoW Token:
(not sure if these first two are specific problems on German servers or if you have them in the US as well)
1. GDKP:
In the original Wrath, I never ONCE encountered a GDKP raid. Now in Wrath Classic it's all over the LFG channel every day! This probably ties in with the bots (and buying gold on shady services) and the WoW Token, since both enable you to whip out your credit card, go into a GDKP raid and just straight up BUY the BIS equipment.
2. GearScore & Logs:
In the original Wrath, there was a little bit of GearScore shenanigangs going on in the end but I don't remember any logging (except maybe Recount). Nowadays on Wrath Classic, almost every LFG message includes something like "LFM ICC25 11/12 HC, 6k+ GS, logs will be checked, 12/12 HC XP required!" gate-keepery. Of course, you'll get every single "turn with arrow keys" kind of GDKP-equipped, 6k GS touting 12yo with access to mom's credit card this way, which makes these PUGs super fun! (actually, the log check part may help against that a little... 🤔) Still, unless you attended every new raid on the very first week it comes out, you won't have any logs for it and will have a hard time being accepted into any PUG from week 2 onwards. Same problem for twinks, since you obviously forget all the tactics when you log onto your alt, because if the alt itself doesn't have logs: "Sorry, we can't invite you". 🤣
3. I'm older and got a job now
Main point probably for most people who played original Wrath back in the days?? Back then, I was a student. I could just raid all night until 4 am and then just not attend my lectures, no problem. Now in Wrath Classic, I (and a lot of the other guys I raid with atm) are older, need more sleep and gotta get up at 4 am to go to work. Much less time to invest in WoW and raiding/farming/etc.
Still, I really enjoyed Wrath Classic overall! And I'm looking forward to playing Cata for the first time, since I quit WoW back when it originally came out.
