Official Reply to Vanilla Servers and Nostalrius

If Legion kicks ass, this whole issue basically goes away.

I doubt it, some people are just fanatically anti-Retail.

[Locruid]

I disagree with most things Blizz said. It's THEIR rights and they can do whatever they want with them, including giving ONE person/business permission to run these servers.

Pristine realms sounds like a bad idea... wow leveling is just so horrible nowadays it wouldn't be a great experience. it'd need to come with an overall world and dungeon mob buff of about 300% to be remotely interesting, and slower leveling so you don't outlevel zones... without any xp boost or heirlooms you still 1-2 shot everything and outlevel zones.

More than anything, the endgame still would be tanaan + lfr..

Oblivious* Spell correct :/

[Azgraal]

You're just mad because you didn't have some cookie cutter bullshit to faceroll the entire game, also too poor to re-spec, enjoy your tri-spec, quad-spec, quint-spec garbage.

Vanilla had nothing but cookie cutter specs.

Too bad the Alpha has only shown it'll be the same garbage that WoD was.

[Doranian123]

If they dont change the design philosophy none of this will matter.

[Raetary]

the legacy server talk is still going on?
god.... people need to learn to move on.

[Roar-Powah]

Why not just hire the NOS team to run these servers under Blizzard, they did a damn fine job of running NOS servers.

So far every dumbass that has gotten their arguments destroyed keeps bringing up this whole "ur gunna get an infraction" shit, are you seriously so autistic and disconnected from reality?

I sincerely hope you don't believe anything you're typing.

It's like people forget that this has always existed no matter the time period. It was just never as obvious as it was now.

Contrary to Vanilla which is all fresh and new and exciting, right?

[DivingByZero]

There is still that content, but it is much less and not necessary to the game like it used to be. You used to need to get a group to even beat simple quest to kill world elite mobs at low levels. You would create friendships that lasted through the game because they weren't on some other server and just matched up for one instance.

People always take the path of least resistance. Making a game hard isn't a bad thing. You act like a challenge is a bad thing, a sense of achievement from completing something difficult is a good thing.

So far you haven't "destroyed" anything. Only the chance for anything you type to be accepted as coming of a normal human being.

Classic had cookie cutter builds through out its entire existence, please stop acting like an idiot.

Not really, or at least not to the extent the are today, even in TBC many classes didn't have one build per spec, the were a number of viable ones for a couple of classes that were the best depending on your play style.

[AnteroXX]

Go Google Frost mage PvE. All classes had ways of dealing with more than 2 mobs....except maybe warriors.

So you never played Vanilla and base your arguments on stuff you've seen on old ass videos. Fury warriors could easily mow down 2-3 mobs at a time, I did it in Vanilla back then and I did it in Nost.

Dont even try and reason with him.

He is 100% out of touch with reality

[Doranian123]

Let's not kid ourselves. Vanilla has little to do with it. The predominant reason those people play in there is because it's free.

huehuehuehuehuehue

If I could choose between getting legion or the game being reverted to Vanilla then bring on Vanilla.

More raids, more dungeons, more items, MORE GAME!

A few talent changes in builds is fine, I agree they weren't the same -- but they were still cookie cutter. Many people never figured them out by their own devices, and ended up either being in the same ball park (a few talent differences generally). I understand there were sub-optimal picks on the more powerful classes, but that still doesn't stop them from being cookie cutter.
