I saw this comment in another thread. It just irked me to no end. Classic precisely is not for everyone.
Obviously everyone is welcome to try it out, but only a fraction of the 100+ million accounts will try it and stick with it.
I am speaking from a place where the socalled "purists" will get their vanilla experience as it was. As currently Blizzard said they will provide.
Yet this and the official forums are swarmed with QOL freaks (yeah I will call em that) that will destroy the classic experience. And just to make sure that this thread does not get swamped with questions: "but the bugs man... you want the bugs in it?"
Let me answer that by saying that I don't care one way or the other. A bug free Classic WoW would imo be better. I do not want anyone to gain an advantage over another player because that person knows how to exploit a bug. But if it is kept... sooner then later everyone will know how to handle the bug anyway. So who cares?
But I digress from the topic at hand. Classic should not be for everyone, period. It was not back then and if they "fix" it to be accessible to everyone, the ones crying for Vanilla for over 10 years will keep on crying for it. Private servers will still pop up to provide the vanilla experience.
So please... go play retail. Just set the experience bar to 60 max and imagine you are doing Classic in that way. Because that is ultimately what people actually want who want QOL changes.
Edit: I wanted a poll but for some reason I cannot find the options to make one.
