I thought this was going to be something sexual
So many people offended that others enjoy pristine servers, so much so that they've basically forced blizzard into making them. If you don't like the idea or any discussion on the topic why don't you just ignore it? It has no effect on you at all. You just want to shit on another persons good time that bad? Do you feel that threatened by people enjoying themselves?

That would make sense if people hadn't been saying the same thing since cata.
Learn to make a proper thread instead of trying to vaguely bait people into spending time to find out what you are even going on about.
No one cares that you enjoy playing on a Pristine Server. How entitled do you think you are, that you're immune from criticism when you post shit on a PUBLIC forum? Especially when you're claiming something as ridiculous as how OPTIONAL features have ruined the game. The only reason for anyone to post about how much better Pristine Servers are compared to live, is because they're 'threatened' that others are enjoying things they aren't. You have nothing better to do than shitpost on PUBLIC forums, about how your version of the game is the only enjoyable version. You're clearly lost to the massive irony of your post.

your subjective experience has zero impact on the objective truthfulness of that statement.
I talk to people, group with people, know people on a first name basis by playing the game regularly so by your logic i can now honestly say that LFG, flying mount and transmog have not killed the game because my personal experience backs it up.
you see the problem?
Those things do not stop you from interacting with other people.

I think the toxicity of the community has hurt the game far more than any accessibility feature that's been added over the last 10 years.
Can someone post a link to whatever Project Sixty is? I've never heard of it. It's a role play thing?
You obviously don't understand what irony means, here's a hint, your post is full of it.... TBH I don't care about pristine servers and never claimed anything about how my version of the game is the only enjoyable version or that QOL features ruined wow, but keep on making up whatever bullshit you want seems to be working out for you. I just don't see the harm in letting people that want to play vanilla play. How entitled do YOU think you are that you can tell people what version of the game they can and can't play? Sounds like you're the one feeling threatened. You can have pristine servers and normal servers side by side co-existing and make everyone happy, that really sounds terribly selfish and entitled huh?
Does that mean you are having fun, even though all those features weren't removed from the game, because you adhere to specific set of rules created by players themselves and don't care about people, who aren't part of the niche community? I thought handicaping yourself wasn't the solution.
On topic:
I added three people to my friendlist that last week
Had a great time talking about things. Until we finally found a fitting price, I got my gold in each case and kicked them again. Because randoms. With random lives that are not my concern.
But, good for you if you find new friends this way I guess even though this is just advertisement for something random from some random server it seems.
EDIT: My post sounds really negative. Dont wanna edit it though because then it wouldnt reflect my thoughts. Sorry in advance I guess.
Because back in vanilla you had nothing better to do but stand in IF or Org and show off your purples. It was a sad and pathetic attempt for individuals with low self esteem to be validated and accepted by peers. Its pretty obtuse to call that social behavior when in fact it was the complete opposite. The early iteration of the game actually encouraged anti-social behavior: narcissism and codependency.
I wish i could afford a pair of those fancy rose colored glasses.
Great that you are enjoying the game again... but it has nothing to do with the 1-60 content, or what features you choose not to employ. It has everything to do with players and their CHOICE to be social, the effort they make to create a social environment.
If ADDING features somehow detracts from the social atmosphere, an intelligent person would have to question whether the social atmosphere ever really existed.
There's also the issue of the dreaded inappropriate offset piece. Like those times you saw a druid with their awesome animal themed staff, flowing plant themed robes, pauldrons adorned with vines and antlers... and that completely WTF rogue helm that had way better stats than the set helm. In Leg we can probably look forward to a ton of leather sporting a demon hunter look, leading to more hilarious clown suits for druids and monks as their offset pieces clash with their tier sets.
I have to confess, I kept Guise of the Midgard Serpent all these years on my druid and even used it as a transmog piece simply because it was so insane looking.
You would.
I am a total hoarder though... I keep totally worthless shit.
