@@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.
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.
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.
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
Special mention for the auctioneers: They're also the target of trolls from the opposite faction who kill them to mess with the people trying to buy/sell things on the AH.
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.
@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.
Crendor I absolutely adore these videos. I am currently sick and anxious and having a not good time in the middle of the night and this video couldn’t have come at a better time to comfort me. Thank you and keep doing what you love
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.
One you're missing is the Fel Orc peons in Shadowmoon Valley (Outland). They literally get hit with a makeshift boomerang that's also a boot. On top of having even greater bloodlusts than the original orcs, they also have to just mine away all day only to either be killed by adventurers or have a boot thrown at them.
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 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!
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
Ah, the portals of Dalaran. I remember pulling a prank by putting my portals up but staggered one space over. Did that back in OG Wrath. I came up with that prank since there was one day the portals weren't working and I opened em myself. Just had to use an addon to tell folks to whisper "inv" to get in the raid group so they could use the portal.
I wish they'd add some functionality to the class trainers, like offering advice for class/spec mechanics or even training scenarios focused on different aspects of the class. I know this kind of information is everywhere online, but having it in-universe and in-game would just be a nice little touch
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
my booty bay theory is that the Baron knows about the endless construction because it's a tax evasion scam. So long as the town is claiming to still be spending a certain amount on repairs every year they can be exempt from taxes.
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.
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.
U had me on this video on no10... class trainers we're like the go to .... like i remember dinging and then ah man i have to travel to them but i need to get my new spells.
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?
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.

Goblin Contractors taking at least a decade to work on a roof is too perfect to not be canon.

Btw Crendor, Siouxie the Banshee is a reference to a British rock band of the same name.

Portal mages taking smoke breaks during server maintenance had me laughing far harder than it should have.
I wouldn't mind seeing a shift change with the portal mages. Have a couple walk over and take position while the other two head out.
They just conjure up lunch, then have a smoke.
@@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.
Yet when you ask a mage for a portal… they don’t have that location
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

Well not a lot but some respect for being the backbone of the Horde.
They probably failed the starting quest area until level 5 and the only job they got was this one.
Peons are also young Orcs, so it's a mixture between the runts, and the young Orcs who have yet to prove themselves.
I miss when one of their lines was 'Me not that kind of orc."
Peons are supposedly the orcs born with low intelligence, too dumb to be soldiers, so they are instead put to work doing the most menial of labor.
Peons could've been warriors that had a brain injury.
Let’s not forget the poor tour guide in silvermoon city who has been giving the same tour for nearly 2 decades now and the poor souls forced to follow
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.
"Siouxsie and the Banshees" were a fairly influential rock band of the late 70s and 80s. Good stuff.
The Goblins at Booty Bay make sense when you realize they probably get paid by the hour.
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
Also, her saying she’ll “behead him” is a reference to their song Melt!

“You are the melting men
And as you melt
You are beheaded”

Scarlet Worker(s) in vanilla wow, mages pretty much fighting over who gets to kill the most, also the dockworkers in Tanaris.

how about being a king/leader, literally just stand there doing absolutely nothing, and every couple years they might get a cut-scene.
