When you can relate to 90%+ of that post, but wouldn't wish most of it upon another living soul :P

When you spent 3 hours doing shadow labyrinth and running back to your corpse countless times but thought nothing of it. When you got to level 60 or 70 and had not a single epic or rare item equipped. When you were level 70 had still had a regular riding mount because you couldn't afford epic riding yet.

When you know about and experienced the Scourge invasion (not the pre-Wrath one).

-If you remember bows used actual arrows, you carried them on your back and ran out at the most embarrissing moments!
-if you remember when we had to 'train' weapons, when picked up they were lvl1 and didn't even do damage

Attunement for MC...watching people who were not attuned jump through the window and die in the lava.
Having to grind rep to get keys to do the heroic version of 5mans.
Getting a pug raid group together on an alt because you saw a world boss on your main out in the middle of no where trying to beat the horde to it.

You remember when you where considered a pro warrior tank (or a pro healer!) when you could take 3 dps classes without cc through a 5man heroic.

heroic?
Vanilla didn't even have heroics,
we had to do a darn good job to even find people who could come with us to an instance...

When you thought Thori'dal was the most amazing thing ever.
Emphasis
on thought.

Lets see:
-You remember making the wetlands run on a level 1 Nelf to play with friends in EK
-You ever collected crypt fiend parts or any other Agent Dawn rep
-Remember Fade being completely impotent from dropping threat...HEALING threat
-No indoor roots
-Bringing Fandral loads and loads of Marowgrain, never asking WHY
-Killing refugees at the Greymane wall for the horde lock Succubus quest
-Dying to the summoned Voidwalker on the previous lock quest
-Spending days tracking down and buying the mats needed for your
Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe
and feeling invincible
-mastered yo-yoing mobs with alternating Curse of Recklessness and fear
-Ever kept a 1H just so you could use your Spellstones
-Ever tried to use a firestone and melee (because why else would it be in the game?)
-Remember a fleeing mob was the most dangerous thing EVER
-Remember specific spellpower +damage schools
-Remember when Holy Fire was a 5 second cast time and a longer cd
-Priests had a talented combat Rez
-Mind Blast had an additional threat component
-Inner Fire increased Priest attack power had charges and a 3 min duration
-Selecting your priest race because of racial priest spells and thinking Starshards was OP
-Completing Stratholme gauntlet in the 1 hour time limit was accolade worthy

... you know where to find Mankrik's wife.
... you stayed in the Barrens 'til well past 30 just for the chat.
... you summoned Infernals and dropped the enslavement on it. In Crossroads.
... you remember when the Barrens was way more barren. (A lot of trees and bushes were added in patch 1.6.0)
... also in that patch, the Sickly Gazelles actually started looking sick.
... original tier 2 gear.
... LFG UD Strat
... putting points in Wand Specialization.
... "!@#$, taunt missed"
... not knowing the end of Smiling Jim's tragic tale until BC.

When getting Verigan's Fist was a big deal.
Still hate Wetlands to this day, ^&*!ing ingots.

Verigan's fist was one of my favorite quest chains in the game.

When locks had to quest to get their pets and having a felguard or felhunter was an amazing achievement.
Damn Blue Recluse...... died so many times in there..... XD
Asking people to run you through STV so you could go from BB to Ratchet to talk to the lock trainer there....
First time ever getting an epic drop
Eye of Flame
Laughing when you found Linken...

When being a raiding Mage ment the following;
-Be 15-20 minutes early to every raid to make water, 4 at the time, and hoping a nice druid would innervate you.
-Frost is the only viable spec.
-After every end boss being killed, stack on other mages to do a portal-gamble, laugh at the 15 people who ends up stuck in Darnassus.
-If you want to go fire, you better have ToEP+ZHC and PoM. Oh, you can only PvP with this, and be awesome every 3 minutes.
-Jailbreak is not something you do with your iPhone, its a boring endless BRD run that drives you crazy! And, you have to do it about twice a week to get people their Onyxia attunement ready!
EDIT;
And lastly ofc, when you read other posts here, giggle and think "Dude? TBC/Wrath is NOT old school..........."

-You actually had to use CC to survive a battle and still get mad at people who break CC.
-You see people who think LFG means Looking For Guild, and you frown.
-You see people who don't know what VC means, and you frown.
-You were laughed at in vanilla for being an Engineer.

-When you remember the sheer panic and confusing on the days with the Hakkar disease epidemic.
-When the AQ gate opened and you was stuck in stonetalon on the boat.
-When just getting to the instance was an adventure in itself.
-You actually cared about what your team in your 5 man was doing.
