Admitting they made mistakes with WoD does not mean they stopped publicly posting their subscriber count because they made bad decisions with WoD.

Long story short, the "free" thing is not a big motivator and is only a factor for an extremely small amount of people.

Assertions of fact made with zero evidence.

Yeah, but you'd be missing a lot of quests and useful upgrades along the way,

So what if you miss a few quests on your way to max level? As for 'missing upgrades'? Really? Why should I be concerned about not getting this upgrade from this group quest, if I'm likely to replace it a level or two later with the reward from a single-player quest, or worse, a random mob drop?

It's all about finding a good guild, you won't have the problem if you take the time and find the right one.

You do know people from your guild won't be readily available, all the time, at your beck and call, right? So what if people in your guild are busy doing something else to help you?

Yeah, but it's not encouraged in vanilla lol. And you miss out on some pretty important upgrades and the process is a lot slower.

Using "miss out upgrades" is such a weak argument, because you'd be replacing said "upgrades" anyways by either crafting something better, finding something better from a mob you killed, or from a quest reward a level or two ahead.

Now you are just resorting to dishonesty. You are asking me to provide evidence of the success of private servers,

This is what pisses me off, seeing people so blatantly misrepresenting other people's arguments, solely to make the others look bad. Look, I am not asking you to give evidence of illegal servers. I'm asking you to back up your claims that setting up a legacy server is cheap.

Just look at the success of said private servers, since you don't want me to post links or mention said servers, I guess it's time that you do your own research here?

They're not paying to play on those illegal servers... so they're not exactly a representative of the market you claim exist.

Onyxia reset every 5 days. Plus you could split your raid since she could be 20 manned. So you're looking at about 3 weeks to get everyone their cloak this way. Not to mention the raid came out many months before BWL, and the fact that it took most guilds awhile to progress to Nef in the first place.

More than just three weeks. At the very least, four weeks, or a whole month, considering maximum output of scales per skinning, every single skinning.

Many would of course disagree. Look at how well the NES classic edition is doing for example. Plenty of people enjoy playing games that were fun for them in the past.

Irrelevant, because it's not like those people are giving up on modern gaming to focus solely on games of the past. If you can prove that, then yes, that citation would have a point.

That argument is done lol, stick a fork in it.

So you admit that you prefer to avoid it and claim it as 'debunked' instead of addressing it?

We've been over this already, stop trying to bait me into violating the forum rules. Since you don't want the evidence posted, I guess you'll have to look it up yourself.

I'm not baiting you. You can make your case without even mentioning pirate servers. You're just hiding behind this rule to avoid having to show that you have no evidence at all.

Please....

Please, indeed, because I never claimed to 'mass report' or 'campaign to report' people with dissenting opinions here.

That's what we are getting to the bottom of.

No, that's the question you always avoid.

the emulation was already better than the real deal lol.

So you admit you know nothing about 'emulation' and the 'real deal'. Please stop embarrassing yourself.

Again, there is plenty of evidence out there to suggest it is easily done,

No, there isn't!

according to the private server teams out there.

They are not using the real server code, they're using EMULATIONS and scripts to emulate how vanilla servers worked back then.

And we've already seen you trying to get the mods involved here and mark posts for infractions

When did I do that? Show it.

and then try to ask questions when you know that me posting the answers will get me said infractions.

Two things: first, you can answer all my questions without ever mentioning pirate servers, somehow that is something that keeps evading your notice, despite me pointing that out to you numerous times; second: funny how you didn't care about being infracted when you kept naming pirate servers and even challenging the moderators' ruling here, but now, suddenly, you seem very afraid of getting an infraction.

Ironically no content like the Vanilla server XD

What did you expect from someone who seems likely made an alt account just to post in this thread?

Meanwhile Warcraft is @ its 7.0.3 BUILD, so no previous version of the game.
