WoW Is the Last Good MMO for New Players

He did not just call MadSeason an OSRS youtuber in a video about wow 🤣

Gbay really made a video about how shit wowhead articles are lol

Thats hilarious that Madseason is a classic WoW youtuber, and Gbay knows him for OSRS.

Tip for newbies that are completely lost and really do need to look up something on WoWhead: forget the guides. Look up the item/npc/location, and immediately go to the comments section. That is where the useful information is hiding.

Lmao calling madseason a OSRS creator when dude has built his entire brand off of WoW content and his mascot is a his wow character is hilarious

I always find it interesting to find an old comment under a classic quest or item (I think migrated from Thottbot?). It's crazy to see discussions from over 20 years ago.

The mistake was opening a wowhead guide. 2nd link from the search was the correct one.

This series is making me want to get into Wow Classic for the first time aswell.

Legendary refresh pull

MadSeason being called an OSRS youtuber was not on my 2026 bingo card, but here we are. Good to see you finding him, his content is peak.

15:48 bro’s gonna learn that wowhead comments are where you really get the information about quests 🤣

IIRC the wowhead drop rates or "fractions" come data collected from players that have an addon that sends info from their kills etc to the site. So for example the quest item that you were wondering about, players have killed Edwin with the addon and have either completed the quest or havent had the quest in their quest log while killing the boss, hence lowering the drop rate for the specific quest item.

Your natural enthusiasm is so infectious, I'd watch you hype up a jar of pickles.

Okay so the biggest misconception you had in this video is that WoWhead is essentially like a WoW wiki. It's really not. It's a database listing all the things in WoW in very specific and VERY TECHNICAL detail. Sound stupid as hell but the pages that don't say "Guide" are not guides. If you're looking at a quest page it will tell you all the elements of said quest and not how to complete it. If you want to know how to complete it then if it's complex enough to warrant writing a guide look for said guide. Otherwise someone probably explained it in the comments. PS. The reason loot drops are listed as fraction and percentage is because they're all player-reported. WoWHead does not datamine what an NPC can drop and with what probability. Instead I think you download an addon that tracks how many times you looted a certain NPC and how many times you got each item. WoWHead then takes that data from all the players who sent it and sums it up.

Another gbay WoW video? time to get comfy.

Mr. President, peak has just hit the Youtube homepage

Very true about magic in MMOs being about discovery.

Back in TBC days I had a real life notebook with handwritten table of price for AH materials. There were 2 columns: sell for X, buy if Y or below. I was a schoolkid but apparently had experience in market analytics lol

I have a suggestion for your leveling journey: Friendlist cool people you meet during leveling so you remember their names (with /friend username). You will probably run into them again a days/weeks later and that will make for a cool story/ experience

I started watching your videos after the first WoW video, and now I get so excited to see a new video from you about WoW from a fresh set of eyes. It's like a nostalgia trip.
