Welcome to Gankers Podcast — a World of Warcraft podcast made by players, for players.
We’re not content creators, we’re not theorycrafters, and we’re definitely not chasing thumbnails. We’re raid leaders, alt grinders, PvPers, and guild misfits talking about what’s actually happening inside Classic WoW, Season of Discovery, and whatever Blizzard throws at us next.
Each week, we hit record and talk through the game the way we play it — unfiltered and unsponsored. From keyring debates to burnout breakdowns, Classic+ dreams to guild implosions, we cover the full spectrum of MMO life with a mix of insight, sarcasm, and a healthy dose of chaos.
💥 Expect episodes on:
– Classic+ speculation and what we’d do differently
– Leadership stress, guild drama, and the invisible job of raid leading
– Dungeon boosting and the shifting meta in ERA
– The rise (and fall?) of SoD and what comes after
– Bots, burnout, gold sinks, and the economy of misery
– MoP prep, reroll panic, and what we’re really doing with our lives
– “Streamer Take of the Week” — and why it’s wrong
– Open mic episodes featuring YOUR unhinged raid stories
🔁 Whether you're a casual who loves leveling or a sweaty parser with five raid-ready alts — Gankers is for you.

Welcome back to Gankers — the podcast where real players drop real takes on the soul of World of Warcraft.
In Episode 2 of Season 3, Classic+ Reimagined: More Than Just Endgame, your hosts Alth and Holy sit down with longtime guildmates and MMO veterans Ben and Quigon to ask a massive question: What if Classic+ wasn’t just more raids?
This isn’t just another wishlist episode. It’s a grounded, brutally honest discussion about the systems, philosophies, and community dynamics that could make or break a reimagined Classic.
We talk about:
🧭 Leveling Reworked
Holy wants leveling to feel organic and immersive, while Alth proposes New Game+ and account-wide bonuses. Quigon argues for smarter XP pacing and social friction, while Ben wants immersive, story-driven zones like Wrathgate brought into Classic.
🗺️ Expanding the World
More zones, subzones, and dungeon scaling options. What if Sunken Temple, Deadmines, and other classics had heroic or Mythic versions at 60? Replayability and zone relevance could finally fix obsolete content.
⚔️ World PvP That Matters
Holy and Quigon propose faction control mechanics with world buffs, elite guard spawns, and economic/resource perks tied to territorial dominance — think EPL towers meets Conquest Points. Emergent gameplay with real stakes.
🛡️ Community-First Systems
We dive into ideas for social design: group scaling, dungeon level-syncing, and rewards that let friends play together regardless of level. Holy suggests MacGuffin coins to guarantee rare loot over time — no more endless Hodge runs.
📚 Narrative & Lore
Classic left huge stories untold. Why is Malfurion idle in Moonglade? Who’s C’Thun, really? We explore how Classic+ could bring meaningful story arcs to life, creating Ashbringer-level questlines across the world.
💬 Retail vs Classic: What’s Worth Keeping?
Ben wants Mythic+. Alth just wants shiny graphics with Classic soul. Holy and Quigon want smart systems that enhance the world, not remove you from it. Dungeon Finder, heirlooms, and modern quality-of-life — only if they serve the experience.
🔥 Key Questions Raised:
Classic+ isn’t just more content — it’s about rethinking why we play. This episode brings sharp insight, grounded MMO knowledge, and nostalgia from players who’ve seen it all — from Final Fantasy XI and SWTOR to Wrath and Retail.
🎧 Whether you're a raider, roleplayer, or just miss the world being the main character — this one’s for you.
