Psychology explain a lot on dynamics on the internet. Which is subsequently why I wish mods would give us a controlled thread to give feedback. I understand the forum is an open place, but here it's not opinions, it's pure negativity. We haven't advanced, we haven't iterated on Pristine at all, because we're still stuck with a group of people who don't care at all and make sure you know it.

Political left, right similarly motivated to avoid rival views
[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
Not sure why the pro-wow people act this way?
Maybe its becuz every person that has played the ''old'' wow and has a brain realizes that 95% of the people yelling for vanilla servers right now would quit within 6 months cuz the game simply isnt up to todays standards.
kind of ironic, considering that current wow's content get's outdated after a few months, while vanilla managed to keep people occupied for years.
Then again, Halo CE is outdated, but I still play it.
Go look at the runscape legacy servers, still being played.
Just because a game advanced, that don't mean it's for the better. We all like different things and some just like vanilla more than current.
If Blizzard would agree to give out the license to a third party for a reasonable amount of money, wich the third party could crowdfund if needed, then we would see how many would actually pay for it, other than that we only see many reports about cancelled subs and refunded legion preorders. (comments with a high upvote rating that state "i would pay for this" arent that great to proof anything)
It's not a ridiculous comparison.
Demanding a company spend years re-developing an ever-evolving game into a previous de-evolutionary, dilapidated state is ridiculous. And it's common knowledge how bad the legacy server/Classic/TBC community is. It's spread all over the internet.
I play new games and old games.
But WoW isn't an old game. It's a game that has been changing for 12 years. If I want to play an old game, I play an old game. WoW is still live and changing. Don't like the current WoW? Cool. Don't play it.
But crying about something that has changed isn't a good look, for anyone.
