*shrugs* I get where you are coming from but what happens if they DO put in something like AoE looting? Is that a deal breaker for you?

Sure some people are here to create chaos but some are genuine in wanting QoL/changes from Vanilla because of how things evolved. Not saying they are right or wrong but I can understand WHY those threads are being made. Some people are clearly out to fuck with people and those are the types of threads that should be shut down.
Of course it's a matter of discussion. Even Blizzard themselves said they want discussion to decide exactly what the design will be. Vanilla was not a single thing, it was 12 major patches. None of the patches represents the "true, authentic" vanilla experience since every one of them was live for a limited amount of time. So they need discussion to understand how to combine the designs from the various patches.
It is also perfectly valid to discuss what modern additions could go into the game. Personally I want none, but others do and it's a valid discussion to have and there is absolutely nothing "infantile" about it. What's infantile, is to bitch about other people discussing their wishes for a future game on forums dedicated to discussion about that future game.
You sound like those people who kept saying people shouldn't discuss vanilla servers because Blizzard was never going to do it—but people did discuss and those discussions contributed to Blizzard changing their mind.

It will be vanilla and that's it.
They will not allocate anymore ressources towards it once it's online, barely maintenance. They have their expansions to work on.
People thinking that they will push updates on these servers are a fucking joke.
A fair outlook to have on it really. I mean everyone has their breaking point where they add too much and it clouds what Vanilla was to them. For some it will be a single thing and for others it will be a package of stuff that happens. I think the best thing for Legacy people is to try and unite on some fronts even if it means an 'Us' vs 'Them' scenario when it comes to those that want none or few changes and those lobbying for way too much.
Tell you what: time travelling. You can't go back to past and watch TV shows on a 4k smart television in e.g. 1980.
"Vanilla/original" means this. Go back to the original game and live the original experience again. If you add/change anything there, the term "vanilla" loses it's meaning.
The ppl like me (dunno how many of ppl like are out there), want no more than fixing critical bugs and exploits that fucks the game or servers, nothing else. Perhaps i am in minority, so yes, i'd be disappointed and probably will not play the game that is not 'classic' and 'vanilla' as it was back in the day. Thats ofc my opinio, You all ppl are entitled to Yours and i respect it.
Yeah and that is why Blizzard is going to need to be careful when it starts listening to feedback. I really hope someone there has the sense to know that if something clicks that says " wait that wasn't vanilla " that they just ignore it and move on. I'm seriously afraid no one there will have that though. Granted they have been playing an older loaded up version of the game so hopefully some of it will sink in.

As I said earlier, I seriously doubt they use them, not because it is wrong or right, but because they won't burn the development time to do so. It's not as simple as just downloading the code and * poof * new models.

Don't speak for everyone. 13-year player here and I would like to see SOME features, such as Transmog, AoE looting, and maybe fixing the dead specs (just so everything is playable). I'm not asking to make the game easymode, but I would like to see something other than vanilla, and I mean more than just the removal of the bugs/constant server crashes.
What would adding Transmog do to make the game worse in any way? Seriously, why would that be such a problem for you? It does nothing to make the game easier and does nothing that impedes the game for you, yet you feel the need to insult people asking for a feature that's 100% vanity? Ffs, get off your high horse.
Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
