Just Chatting with the Gankers: Chaos, Clickers & Class Drama

It’s that time again—every few episodes, the Gankers crew puts aside the guides and raid strats for a full-on fireside hangout. No agenda, no structure—just a bunch of Classic WoW addicts letting loose with chaos, hot takes, and some deep-cut MMO theory.

This “Just Chatting” episode features Alth, Holy, Darth, Viewing, Bobby, Ben, and one glorious quote from Marm. What starts as a chill catch-up quickly spirals into hardcore death confessions, class deletions, gold sink proposals, and plenty of retail slander.

We kick off with hardcore stories. Panic deaths in Hillsbrad. Twitch streams that were basically death bait. One crew member dies to a mob he can’t name—but knows it has two weapons and zero mercy. “Sometimes you forget you’re Horde,” someone admits. Skill issues were had. No one is safe.

Then comes the firestarter: “What’s the most overrated raid in WoW?”

Answer: Icecrown Citadel.

Sure, Lich King is iconic. But the trash? The pacing? The 13 filler bosses? “Homework,” one person called it. The group agrees—it’s nostalgic, not fun. ICC gets cooked.

Next, we ask the unholy question:

If you could delete one class forever, which one goes?

• Mages: “Always viable. Always smug.”
• Paladins: “The bubble is criminal.”
• Shamans: “Walk up and delete you.”
• Shadow Priests: “You're a priest. Heal.”

One story even involves kicking a Shadow Priest from a dungeon for refusing to heal. Ruthless? Yes. Honest? Also yes.

Class creation gets weird too. We pitch a gnome-only Combat Medic with rocket boots and energy domes. Bards and Dancers get a nod, but not everyone’s into getting buffed by male performers. It’s Gankers logic. Don’t question it.

From there we pivot—hard—into WoW gold inflation and how to fix it. Some ideas are memes (ERP for gold, 1v1 arena gambling), but some are genius:

• Remove the auction house and add city vendors selling fixed-price consumables
• Prestige titles and cosmetic rewards for gold sinks
• Real profession-based costs that matter
• Weekly in-game lotteries to drain excess gold

And yeah, someone suggested “Show me the money” cheat codes.

Other games show up too:

• Project Ascension: Wild classless fun, kind of like a prequel to Season of Discovery
• Final Fantasy XIV: Bards, Dancers, actual class creativity
• Project Epoch: Private server with meme-worthy patch notes
• MoP Remix: Some of us are playing it. Some of us hate pandas. Classic WoW still wins.

The final minutes bring out the hot takes:

• Clickers vs. keybinders (don’t be a clicker)
• Rewrite one WoW storyline? Sylvanas gets deleted. So does late-game Garrosh.
• Should raids be hard? Some say yes for challenge, others just want loot and vibes.

This is peak Gankers. No notes. No script. Just good times, chaotic energy, and the type of Classic WoW talk you’d hear in voice chat at 1 a.m.
