There is nobody to "never play it" because the people you are talking about don't exist. There is not one single human being alive who says "This game is unplayable for me without LFD, and that's why I'm going to play for a year without it so that I can play with it for a month at the end!" It's a joke on its face.
Classic TBC is currently clocking over 300,000 players, and this should be the lowest point in its cycle. Ghost town my ass. You want them to drive out the players they already have to make room for this fictional group of people for whom a month of LFD at the end of Wrath is a dealbreaker.

We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

So because you say they don't exist, that means they don't exist. And again, you prove once more that you have really shitty reading comprehension. NUMEROUS people, including myself, now won't touch WotLK at all ever because Blizzard gave into the gatekeepers.
There is literally zero way for you to know how many players are actively taking part in TBC Classic. You don't work for Blizzard so you have absolutely no fucking idea how many people are playing. What IS obvious is that even during peak hours, it can take you 2+ hours just to find groups for dungeons. The only kinds of people that need to be driven out are the gatekeeping elitists.
If you are that disinterested in Wrath that you would throw a hissy fit over a feature over a year into the expansion that you'd only use for a month anyway, you were never going to stick around and play wrath in the first place. The idea that LFD is so intrinsic to your fun that you would play without it for a year just to play with it for a month is laughable.
Actually, we do know how many people are playing TBC Classic, because census taking mods still work in classic. But hey, don't let the facts stop your temper tantrum.There is literally zero way for you to know how many players are actively taking part in TBC Classic.

First off, repeating the phrase "You won't play the game for a year then only play for a month" is so utterly fucking asinine. Are you trying to say that if LFD was introduced, that it would be added then the servers would shut down a month later? Do you listen to yourself?
lmfao it's not run by Blizzard so therefore it's more than likely not at all accurate. Show me where Blizzard has said that they have several hundred thousand people playing every day on TBCC servers. Otherwise, stop posting numbers that are not official.
You know that LFD was not introduced until the ICC patch right? You understand that this will be the final phase of Wrath right?
Denial is a difficult psychological phenomenon to deal with.lmfao it's not run by Blizzard so therefore it's more than likely not at all accurate. Show me where Blizzard has said that they have several hundred thousand people playing every day on TBCC servers. Otherwise, stop posting numbers that are not official.
if those numbers are at all inaccurate, it is because they are too low and missing some people. Do you think it is a coincidence that those numbers happen to match which servers are being merged? And that they happen to match Blizzard's server health page?

Just release the game how it was. If I wanted harder 5mans and raids I would just go back to playing the current expansion.
#SomeChanges is a good approach and should have been there since the beginning as I said back then.
Great to see Blizzard absolutely ruining the best expansion the game ever had, before they even re-release it!
They just couldn't accept that the old devs were better at their jobs than they are. They had to get their fingers on it and "improve" it.
I'm probably in the minority here but I actually liked ToC. It was quick and easy so it was great to use to catch alts up on gear to get them into ICC. I had zero problem with managing all the different emblems and it was never a complaint I ever had about the older xpacs.
My problem is everything they try to fix turns to shit, nothing they do anymore makes things better only worse. The blue post above reads like the retail mindset creeping into a place it shouldn't be.
