"Trying times season" all enemies in the game are boosted to be more difficult.

    I also think they should have two kinds of classic servers. One they just totally leave alone. Pure Vanilla- for all the purists. Then have the "active" server that has all the "seasons" and activities that might upset the purists.

    This can be really fun and engaging if done right.

    every class has a different class to counter it with

    rogues get countered with reckoning bomb

    the only class reckoning paladins have trouble with are probably hunters because the pet is attacking you while you can't attack the hunter due to range while the hunter is attacking for just as good damage as the pet you counter a hunter with a warlock fear+demons damage+dots or shadow bolt or shadow priest lots of burst range damage

    I have an active subscription and want pure classic.
    My reasoning is that QoL/balancing changes have the potential of ruining the experience, due to a snowball effect. One change will not fix a class or break the game, multiple changes are required to make a difference.
    Imo potential changes should be way down the line, when the server has already been out for quite some time.
    The release of raids should be staggered for sure, as to not invalidate content too early.
    I would however like to see bugfixes, like wall-walking (which was considered a bug/exploit).

    I don't have an active sub but am looking forward to returning for Vanilla realms. I want everything to say exactly the same as it was. The only changes I want to see are bug/exploit fixes. Unintended programming errors shouldn't stay in.

    Active retail player still... and I'd like to play Classic as it was (with bugs and glitches fixed!), but I'd more than welcome some class tweaking to make some classes more viable.

    Being able to toggle new models/spells [off by default] should be a non-issue as it impacts on no one.

    if wow classic is part of your main wow account subscription
    then you can farm gold on retail and buy wow tokens and then play wow classic for free

    So what happens after 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? You're ok with it being stuck in time? I'm on the side of 'pure Vanilla'. But at some point you're gunna run out of Vanilla ice-cream, you catch my drift?

    I should just put an annoying senseless troll like you on ignore, who want bugs as well as it was... just because. I got zero desire to argue with a delusional wishful schmuck like you.

    I want as many completely meaningless changes as is takes to get the most annoying purists to boykott the game. Constant reminders of how terrible retail is, would not be pure vanilla!

    Other than that I'd like pure vanilla with maybe some bug fixes, if blizzard thinks the vanilla team would have fixed them if they could. I find pure vanillas design vision more important than copying vanillas excact code. Like closing the lua to only old addons would not be vanilla code but the gameplay would be closer to what vanilla was like. Having a non automated group lister, where you have to whisper the people making groups, would be closer to vanilla gameplay than people using an automated website to find groups. Stuff like that.

    Also death camps for all the people answering this holy questions the wrong way of course.

    I'm not sure which part of my post you disagree with, the bugfix part or the possible changes down the line part?

    Either way, these are my opinions. Simply stating that they are wrong isn't gonna make me change my mind.

    I've a subscriber and I'll probably be playing.

    I just want a few class balancing changes so I can play something that I actually want to play instead of what the community forces me to play. Also new character models and achievements would be nice. Transmog too.

    I can live without flying LFD, LFR, Flight Paths etc... but the above are things I'd like to see to encourage me to play on the server more passionately.

    make a new alt
    server capped? change servers..
    account capped?
    delete all characters and start again it's back to vanilla baby!

    the only time we run out of vanilla icecream is if blizzards fucks up the server with "changes" of any kind or they close their company

    but clearly you are when we are getting vanilla servers and you're suggesting they change it to not be vanilla

    you suggested they change wow classic to be something that doesn't match vanilla
    it's pretty obvious what i am disagreeing with

    So no progression of any kind? No TBC servers or 'alternate Vanilla'. Not even if they introduce a replacement Vanilla server afterwards?

    You run out Vanilla ice-cream when a server becomes a ghost town btw. If Blizzard never to this day patched from Vanilla and left 1.12 running, that's what you'd have. Some people would play sure, but I doubt enough for that essential experience, you need others for that!

    Says the person that tries to shut down any form of discussion with your obnoxious, and baseless, "I'm right you're wrong" superiority complex. Even Blizzard finds people like you annoying, bashing on people who aren't "purists", having to lock such threads because it can't be kept civil.

    I'm currently subscribed. I plan on at least trying it out for the nostalgia wave. My preference would be for Classic to have some minor QoL changes and bug fixes, but wouldn't lose any sleep if it did not.

    Classic WoW isn't vanilla either. 2004 was a long time ago.

    99% vanilla
    1% is the server lag/crashes they didn't want to replicate from 2004 launch
    it's like a vanilla icecream that accidentally has 1 chocolate sprinkle due to it being next to sprinkles in the icecream trays
    it's not a big deal
    but diluting that 99% to 98% then 97% and it's not vanilla anymore it's just a mutant

    humans have 1% unknown dna and yet we are still "human"

    That's why I said there should be a pure server. A server they don't touch at all, just pure vanilla for the purists.

    I think the seasons idea works well for those that actually want patches and need a little more than just "pure" vanilla.
