This is just seeking validation for a thought process you already had going into the podcast of Sempai whothefuckcares. Congrats you got noticed by Sempai. When I watched Sempai whothefuckcares, he gave his opinion on the topic by saying "I think..." So congrats you validated your opinion with someone else's opinion and believe it is fact. Also garr is fucking stupid easy. You only die to garr because of DPS wanting to cleave adds down. None of the actual mechanics are difficult to understand or execute.

The difference being, i have a functioning brain.

BS lol, it was literally a bait question, i needed to know if these streamers were as far gone as some of the people i see post on here. Seriously i bet some of the people that post here think that classic is literally being made for them, a game that has been around for 15 years that hundreds of millions of people enjoyed is being made for a couple hundred thousand that pirated it.
Actually mind boggling how some people's brains work on this forum, they have no scope of how things are outside of their tiny little world.
Validation for who lol? I wanted to see how far gone they were, and luckily for the classic crowd they seem fairly reasonable. I say luckily because these guys have done some good things for classic, (they convinced blizzard 4 stages of content was not enough for classic as an example).
Apparently im odd in the sense that i come to conclusions on my own? I dont rely on others to tell me how to think?

What? Ive insisted this entire thread that you need to take all of the classic playerbase into account, when everyone else just wants to talk about how the private server community is going to do in MC on classic LOL.
Who is living in their tiny little world again champ?
Validation for yourself. You rely on the information of others to bolster your own already existing opinion, and anyone who doesn't do that is in the wrong. Because clearly, YOU cant be wrong, you have the functioning brain! Hence why you dismiss other people for not having a "functional brain" despite the fact otherwise.

if you don't rush pre-bis gear for MC you'll end up running MC with plebs months into wow classic
Interesting that you came to that conclusion, tell me why you think I am weak minded. Was it because i insulted your sempai whothefuckcares? Is it because I pointed out that you're a validation seeker? Was it because *GASP* I was RIGHT?!
You certainly come up with your own opinion, but you toxicly dismiss other's opinion by going to the point of insulting them because its not the same as your own. This isn't a healthy discussion and I advise you to log off the forums and go do something else. For my own sake, I'll go ahead and just report and put you on ignore, since you clearly have no intention of having a civil discussion.

since items will be their most updated version for 1.12 people will blow through MC since pre-raid bis gear is better than most of the purple gear people went into MC with initially back in the day. People will annihilate it
Keep in mind all of that gear (and more, aka the stuff they are holding back for later patches) was available in 2006 and yet people were still wiping in MC.
The name of the thread is MC honest predictions, if you discount how many new+returning players will be on classic are you really being honest about it?
And that is hard for you to believe, why exactly? An officially licensed product of the most popular mmo of all time with literally hundreds of millions of potentially returning players. Look at the WoW token, one of the most profitable and successful things blizzard has done in monetary terms (awful for the game) in the past decade, the amount of people that were willing to buy gold direct from blizzard killed off the chinese gold selling market, even if they were cheaper people would rather go the legit route.
1mil is a low estimation tbh, i think 2-3mil is completely reasonable and on the high end we might see 5m day 1.
The average LFR player (who's actually at the keyboard) is better than the majority of raiders back in vanilla. What'll hold people back is putting in the effort to grind what they need to. But so far as actually clearing the fights given the gear, consumables, and willingness to gather world buffs; it'll be faceroll throughout all of vanilla (provided they don't reproduce the bugs + server lag issues).
However, MC will not be cleared in the first week. Still gotta get enough people leveled, geared, and then someone needs to get honored and buy quintessences (or multiple people if you don't like waiting for them to go back and forth from the vendor between bosses).
The things you're coming out with are so funny. LFR is way easier than any 40 man raid, including MC. The reality is, despite expecting everyone to know the fights there will be people fucking up, I don't think people will be as geared as you expect them to be either. We all remember MC speed runs, pulling multiple bosses and downing Rag before his first wave of sons. Those things happened when people out geared it which wont be the case on the first few resets for sure. I remember trying to farm two of those axes from strat for my hunter and never managing it before I got two from BWL. It wasn't that easy to farm gear unless you had a group of 5 friends you could farm with. Also I don't see as many people farming consumables/buffs to the length we did in vanillla because the people from vanilla days will have less time this time round and those who are new to vanilla are not used to needing much prep at all.

1. Stop insulting each other. Discuss this in a civil way or it will be closed.
2. Discussion of private servers is against site rules so please do not do so. The topic can easily be discussed without getting into any of that.
3. If the thread continues to be about how many people will play Classic it will be closed. No one knows and it's not worth arguing about.
