Scam Citizen referral code: STAR-2YL2-XDTX|get 5,000 UEC
arguing with u or anyone else serves no purpose
some want QoL improvements, some want classic exactly how it was
in the end its up to blizzard to decide

i think i do, and i do
Hard to say... early blizzard from wows release I would say yes. New blizzard who thought artifact power was a good idea? Hell no.
Its a what came first question. Blizzard caving to whiny players or blizzard mutilating their own game to try and chase the cell phone crowd.
Did it ever occur to you that there are many of us that just thought that given Blizzards previous statements regarding Classic that we thought it was no point trying to argue for it since they said it was not gonna happen. But now that it is happening we suddenly dont have a say in it? I can live with that but if they are gonna take from the money I contribute from my retailsub and develop a game that is gonna be included in THAT subscription then you better damn well just accept that i will voice my opinion REGARDLESS what they are and you can argue against them or agree but dont try to tell me what i want or dont want.
If there will be a separate sub on it THEN you can say that those that opt into that would have more say in it. But at the end of the day it is Blizz that decides what its gonna be like and i think as they have said that it will be as close to the real thing they can make it, and that is fine by me. But im not gonna go and say "your opinion is not valid since you did not meet MY standards of fighting for it".
Also please dont say that all the people that want some or another QoL are just trolls or "haters", im sure some are perhaps even many of them. But could it not be that it is many of them that got wind of "They are gonna relase Vanilla servers" and thought "Wow that is awesome never thought that would happen let me check it out and give input"
I mean comeon what would be the problem with connected Flightpaths? REALLY?

Ye and when you have roflstomped the raids in there and ran all variants of contests then THAT will be what you will scream about will it not?

Perhaps to shut up the "movement" for a couple of years? That is until they start to scream for "We want BC/Wrath servers"
Changes I would like to see personally would be
- mount and pet collection tab
- stacking of warlock soulshards
- longer lasting buffs
And that is the kind of mentality that serves no purpose other than shutting down any potential discussion, by lumping all dissenting options into this "you didn't play vanilla so your opinion doesn't matter" nonsense, even those who did play vanilla and do want changes.
Lets make servers for all of those changes. 1 server for faster fly paths, 1 server with dual spec, 1 server for class balancing, 1 server without a debuff limit, 1 server that has none of it and 1 server that has all of it. Oh and 1 server that has all patches from start, and none of the patches from start etc etc etc ...
Just no ... Vanilla = Vanilla. Deal with it
Yep... that's a sound business reason. lol Seriously though... I'm pretty sure the decision they made to do Classic already includes plans to follow up with BC and Wrath. This will actually be a huge money maker for Blizz.
I am very excited. I'm glad that there can be two "flavors" of WoW to satisfy those hungry for it.
Also why would either free or significantly reduced prices for respecs STILL att the skillmaster/trainer be a problem?
I guess they are sooooooo afraid if there is they give anything away they think that ahh now they will have Everything. So they rather shoot themselves in the foot. Also most people i talk with among my friends from that time want as you say the "pure vanilla experience" But then again they pretty much exclusively played one of the "goto"spec warrior-tank or ofc the dps mage/rogue/warr/hunter, and they say there was never a problem fixing stuff for raids. And yes many will play and try out, but seems to me that most people will not be able to play what they want atleast not if they want to make any serious raiding.
Blizzard has always come up with "good reasons" as to why they do certain things... just like AP you grind is not spec wide, but spec specific. Their reasoning? "We want you choices to feel like they matter."
This is no different. Your decision to play a spec should "matter". Yes you can respec... but it's going to cost you. This also keeps gold a valuable commodity. In current game gold is completely insignificant.
If you don't need gold, then going out to farm mobs isn't necessary... but if you need to go farm 50 mobs to get gold to buy some gear, or respec, or mats for potions... then you have given purpose to the activity. You also drive economy and professions.
I think people are unsure of what each and every "convenience" may or may not do to change the experience... but they know exactly what the exprience was/will be if nothing changes. And it was pretty dog gone great then.
I guess I'm in the camp of do not change a thing. Let it change over time as it did back then.
Man truth be told serious raiding here is already dead and gone. If you go to the classic realm to be a world first bad ass than you are going to be pretty disappointed. You are already like world 23453. Every strategy and ability is totally mapped out and understood. Most of the encounters are simple in comparison to what people face in the modern game. All in all I doubt method is going to abandon the current expansion to back log into classic.
But if you do plan to raid and raid a lot in classic than go for it. Just be aware that, yeah, you just don't get to pick any spec you want. It happens in the current expansion servers too. Sure Ret is viable but what was there representation on the bleeding edge? Not much. Sure feral is viable but how much representation did they get in Nighthold mythic? The community rejects specs now just like they did then. It is fewer now for sure. But that is why its the current expansion. If you go into classic dead set on playing shadow priest it is going to be harder for you to find a guild. It won't be impossible. But it will be harder. Even harder if you plan to be on the #1 guild on the server.
It is a different game and thus has a different set of rules. It is a new (old) MMO. You cannot go into say FFXIV and expect the "paladin" to do what a WOW "paladin" does. Just like you cannot do that here. Over 10 years separate this. Different design philosophies separate it. Different people that created it. Different gamers and society it was forged in. IT IS DIFFERENT. If people refused to understand this then yeah they will be disappointed. But in a way that is totally there fault.
The fun thing is Blizzard also said they would not do classic servers until now, what makes you think they cannot go change their mind again if they loose money?

Just curious do you think there will be only 1 server/region?
