Added the following to the list above:

Non-targeted, group, or AoE buffs will not affect party or raid members if you are flagged for pvp and your party or raid members are not flagged for pvp, or vice-versa.
It is much easier to not get quest credit for escort quest objectives in WoW Classic than in Battle for Azeroth. Follow your NPC allies closely to ensure quest credit is obtained!
Monsters will respawn more aggressively when reduced past certain thresholds of their original populations in many areas of the game. This is working correctly and is consistent with the reference client.

Me: *aggressively flee*Comment by SckootsSorry, but I tend to agree with Sepiur on this one (agree with the spirit of what I assume he/she is talking about). What did people expect? Oh, wait... they didn't. The nostalgia will go away real soon. Every day I check this site and it's all classic... makes me wonder how they managed to create relevant daily retail news content (multiple pieces of news) prior to classic's release.Comment by sholWell the big issue is the sniping for these quests and you have to wait 20+ minutes...

Some other quality of life things...

- 5 stack potions ugh...should be more
- Flight path cancellation
- Druid forms not interacting with vendors, etcComment by baldie80Well the big issue is the sniping for these quests and you have to wait 20+ minutes...

I was usually lagging behind trying to loot all the mobs one by one (i.e deleting stuff trying to make room for the random greens, etc.) before mass loot, of course.Comment by shipwreckThe best way to enjoy Classic is to suspend all your BfA preconceptions and take in the game the way it used to be. It’s a hugely different experience and trying to compare them does both a disservice.Druid forms not interacting with vendorsComment by talonzor"It is much easier to not get quest credit for escort quest objectives in WoW Classic than in Battle for Azeroth.

Indeed, we were doing the escort quest in Gnomeregan and I didn't get credit because a was a few feet away (about 5), drinking.Comment by DoorsfanI still experience a bug of not having my Mail icon appear, even after i actually do have mail with items to open.Comment by ArranninIf doing Prison break quest, I would suggest not following too closely :)
(escorted npc does go into the instance portal entrance, but you can follow him or you fail quest).Comment by dembroI still experience a bug of not having my Mail icon appear, even after i actually do have mail with items to open.
