Why Classic+ Won't Happen

[Nuggsy]

Creating new content costs more money than porting old content.

Activision Blizzard does not care about making quality games anymore, they are a business, and as such, care about making money.

While Activision Blizzard is part of the corporate greed machine, them not making 'Classic+' has nothing to do with it. Your asking blizzard to what? RESTART wow basically by adding new lore, more expansions, etc? No. That's ridiculous. While people may not like current wow for whatever reasons they have that doesn't mean they should start over. WoW is currently ongoing and I for one would rather them focus on retail and the future rather than the past. Blizzard struggles enough with one MMO they don't need to try and balance two.

Activision Blizzard gain six years, Classic is here, BC and WotLK is most loved xpac gaming, gain some time to make expansions mix this Vanilla, BC and WotLK content with new is not hard.

True. But they used to be a business who was fighting to get into a new market.

Then they were a business that was looking to increase their market share (BC & Wrath).

Now, they are a business looking to cut corners to improve profits (Cata forward).

The difference in product quality provided to the consumer is different in each of those phases. Just because a minority of players (aka current player base) thinks the cheap shiny sheen on the current product makes it best doesn't mean their opinions are particularly good...

Firstly, you have no insight in the companies' strategy, you're just making some assumptions out of the blue. Nor is there any sign of those assumptions being true.

Secondly, the current player base is not a minority. It is the majority. Moreover, in your lign of arguing you call a pool of 100% a minority of that same 100%.

Thirdly, an opinion is not good or bad, it's just an opinion.
