FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Oh, you can be pretty sure that blizz will make it an eyecandy. They said that you will get the classic-experience and troubles, but not that they will NOT make it an eyecandy.
2004 graphics without DX11 features and THE MOST AWFUL WATER EFFECT IN ANY GAME (heck, even when WoW was released, the water was more awful than the vanilla-water in oblivion, and that was released 2 years earlier)
And if you WANT YOUR VANILLA EXPERIENCE, change your graphic-settings to ultra-low. And then you get your vanilla-experience, including awful water (or did they remove it already?)
No, no, no. Nobody will enjoy that. Different games, different subscriptions, different sites and forums - both audiences must be completely separated from each other. It will be better for everyone because neither side will ever understand what the other side wants from the game.

Here is something to believe in!
everyone gets to decide what patch they do or a franken patch of anything that was in vanilla.
anything outside of that is not what they said.

Anything jump out at you that you'd forgotten about old school World of Warcraft?
J. Allen Brack: Yeah, I'd forgotten that whenever you buffed one of your party members with Intellect, you had to actually sit down and drink after that. Then you stood up, buffed another party member with Intellect and then you had to drink again. It's a much slower pace. There's a lot of prep time.
It's an interesting part of human memories, right? I think we like to remember the good parts, but the bad parts sometimes go away over time.
Do you think there'll be a line to walk for the team, then? Somewhere between creating that authentic experience that people have asked for, while also figuring out what doesn't make sense anymore? For example, with the Intellect buff, is it important to you that players do need to drink after casting it?
J. Allen Brack: Yes. That's part of the level 60 experience. Our goal is to recreate that classic 1-60 gameplay. Some things changed as time went on, with different patches. How does that get manifested? That's one of the outstanding questions. But yeah, the goal is to recreate that exact experience, for better or for worse.

Digital Trends: During the BlizzCon Opening Ceremony you said you want WoW Classic to reproduce the classic WoW experience, but not the launch experience. How do you achieve that balance?
Allen Brack: The “launch experience” is sort of a joke. The launch experience is not a great experience, so we want the gameplay experience to be great, with those 2004-2005 WoW systems, but have it be very stable, server uptime, not have a lot of server queues, right? All the modern conveniences that we have in modern WoW.
So, content-wise, it will be the same?
Brack: Content-wise it will be identical. Now, “identical” has a lot of nuance, [though], because WoW changed a lot in the two years between launch and Burning Crusade. One of the reasons we are talking about this as early as we are is to get the community’s opinions on which way we should go for certain things.
Here is something to believe in!
im saying they only want suggestions of stuff that already was IN vanilla. deciding on what patch or fraken patch or whatever that was in vanilla.
the stuff im trying to "silence" is people wanting to add things that werent in vanilla like rebalancing classes in a manner that diddnt happen in vanilla. or crazy crap like having lfd and lfr . not many of those people around but they have suggested just that.
thats what that post quote was about.
You do realize that there WAS already an early version of LFD in game back in Vanilla it was called the meeting stones or today’s summoning stones so maybe do some research before calling something “silly”
And what if you misunderstood what they said? Plus, it was as interview and Blizzard is known to change its opinion mid-way (remember flying in Draenor for instance?). Imo, Classic won't be Vanilla or even Vanilla with patch 1.12 or whatever, it will be a different game taking place in the World of Vanilla but class balance, raid retuned, etc... A sort of Classic 2.0 or something like that. If they wanted to release Vanilla AS IT WAS, they would have called it Vanilla, not classic.
Post-vanilla server stability fixes would be the start and end of my list. People should also absolutely expect BNet capability in classic as well.
