2. (this is our profit center) Let's give the people that never played Vanilla or weren't into the game then this opportunity and thus this is basically a new X-Pac for them relatively speaking so we don't want to turn these people off but still have to remember that they are use to an entirely different experience.
The only way I see to please BOTH is using a sort of mechanic/option where for instance now you can talk to a person in Silithus and they give you the option "change back to the way things were" type thing only maybe you make that choice ONCE and from there, that's what you get. Either genuine Vanilla or altered Vanilla-Lite. Basically like pushing the big red button in Ulduar like ok now you've asked for it, here's the gloves off, no BS, actual Vanilla with errors, imbalance and all, the whole enchilada.
