There was (were) no:
--Flight (besides flight paths, which dismounted you at each stop until 1.10) -
Neutral/Don't care
--Dual-specs -
Neutral/Don't care
--Death Knights, Monks, or Demon Hunters -
Neutral/Don't care
--Draenei, Blood Elves, Pandaren, Worgen, or Goblins -
Neutral/Don't care
--Alliance Shamans or Horde Paladins
- GOOD, this made the factions stand out a little and it was not just a preference of lore/story, but actual gameplay that made you chose.
--Jewelcrafting, Inscription, or Archaeology -
I will miss archeology but don't care about the others.
--Outland, Northrend, Pandaria, Draenor, Broken Isles -
Neutral/Don't care
--Cataclysm zones (Hyjal/Vashj'ir/Twilight Highlands/Deepholm/Uldum) -
These zones are amazing, but you can't have everything.
--Cinematics -
Good, it just takes away time from actually playing!
--There were very few in-game “cinematics”, like the ones that introduced the Warlords bad guys -
Whats the difference between cinematics and in-game cinematics?
--World Quests -
THANK GOD, this awful grind was a horrible addition.
--Bonus Zones -
These were so boring anyway.
--Pop-up dialog boxes for world quests (like when Illidan tells you he needs harpies killed) -
You mean that annoying fking box that appears and blocks other things I was looking at? Can you disable that crap?
--LFG -
Thank God, this is a disease to the game.
--LFR -
THANK GOD!!!!!! LFR is THE disease to the game!
--Arenas - -
Neutral/Don't care
--Any battlegrounds besides WSG, AB, and AV -
I think these 3 are the best by far, though I will actually miss Isle of Conquest a bit.
--Modern mechanics that limit the length of WSG or AV matches (AV had no reinforcements, for example) -
Which is AMAZING! Long battlegrounds = epicness!!
--Automated tools to prevent premades and / or win trading -
Win trade = bad, but premades = SUPER GOOD which makes it worth it!
--Difficulty levels for raids -
GOOD!!! Difficulty should be divided into raids instead of raids having difficulties. Easier raids and harder raids make the harder more exclusive and cool!
--Difficulty levels for dungeons -
Same as above!
--Flexible raid sizes -
The more, the merrier. Big raids are epic.
--Modern lockouts (the way LFR/Normal/Heroic are now) -
You snooze, you lose! Play from the start and experience it from the beginning. Doing 1 boss here, one boss there, and swapping groups is awful, try leading yourself and replace people 100 times before the end and you know what I mean. Modern lockouts means no dedication!
--Extending lockouts -
Doing the same boss over and over will bore any sane person to death. I HATED when guilds forced me to join extended raids.
--Mass resurrects -
Good removal, fight laziness!
--Multi-tagging or AoE loot -
Again, good, fight laziness!
--Loot Specs - -
Neutral/Don't care
--Ratings for any stat (it was all listed as "1% crit" or "1% dodge") -
Neutral/Don't care
--Mastery or Masteries -
Neutral/Don't care
--Versatility, Avoidance, Leech -
Neutral/Don't care
--Haste and Speed weren't common stats on gear, but a few things had them, like hunter quivers and some novelty items -
Neutral/Don't care
--Casting while moving (except instants) -
Neutral/Don't care
--Vehicles -
Vehicles in WoW and the bosses with them (Malygos, the last boss in Oculos and a few more) are the invention of the devil. I just hope the poor Blizzard employee who added this had a proper exorcism to get the demon who tricked him/her to adding this, removed.
--Bank access anywhere but cities -
Neutral/Don't care
--Guild banks -
Neutral/Don't care
--Bags larger than 18 slots -
My bags are full with rare items and non-toy vanity items. These weren't that common back then, I litterally NEVER had bag issues.
--Profession bags (until mid-vanilla) -
Neutral/Don't care
--Barber Shops -
Neutral/Don't care
--Dungeon Maps -
Neutral/Don't care
--Feasts -
Yeah, lets feed the lazy! Or, lets not...
--Cauldrons -
Same as above.
--Warlock Closets -
A warlock closet? I don't play warlock, I have no idea what this is.
--Respawn "checkpoints" in dungeons or raids -
Good! Fight laziness!
--Cross-realm or bind-on-account anything. Friends, heirlooms, etc., although BGs were X-realm in 1.12. -
If you wanna reroll, put in the work!
--Auction Houses anywhere but Ironforge, Orgrimmar, or Gadgetzan (at launch)-
Neutral/Don't care
--Server transfers* -
Neutral/Don't care
--Transmog -
This is the ONLY thing I will REALLY MISS! But oh well, at least most vanilla sets looked great!
--Bloodlust / Heroism -
Neutral/Don't care
--Target Dummies -
Neutral/Don't care
--Death Recaps -
If you don't know why you died or what killed you, maybe you should not play the game...
--Enchanting vellums -
Neutral/Don't care
--Currency Tab -
Neutral/Don't care
--Tracking fish on the minimap -
Neutral/Don't care
--Way to report trade chat spam (in the very beginning) -
Neutral/Don't care
--Catchup mechanics* -
GOOD! Fight god damn laziness!
--Warforging, Titanforging, or Reforging -
FK YES! These things are a disease to the game as well. RNG IS ALWAYS A BAD THING!
--Achievements -
"Link achiv or no invite" is a disease as well, that needs to be eliminated. FK achievements, may they burn in hell!

his is THE worst elitistic fking nightmare ever inveted in the gaming community. I hope everyday this is shut down forever, as this cancer has plagued us long enough. If there is a god, I hope he somehow make logs impossible for classic servers.
