I seriously doubt Blizzard would change things just to accomodate that crowd.
Blizzard can block those addons, like they said.
Either they implement the group finder tool from live or block those addons entirely, being able to look for a group is essential to this game, leaving that to a third party addon is just plain bad.
Check out blizzards section on Batch Spells....they are basically adding in a "latency" to mimic classic.
The nochange crowd has its extreme far people.
I want no changes, but when i say that i mean things like NO dungeon finder, No stat weight changes, No class tuning away from 1.12 - Coming from a a Shaman man.
Part of the charm is some of the quirk...BUGS or EXPLOITS are not quirks , get those the fuck outta here.
No way. It would modify the original character selection screen. I doubt this would even make it to Classic.
I can't stand those goofy up/down buttons in live. And I REALLY can't stand the ridiculous scroll bar the screen has now.
And to all you who say, why should I care about cosmetic changes that I can't see -- I can see it. Either I see it on my screen. Or I see a HUGE convoluted list of options to turn shit on and off, that Blizzard needed to waste time on implementing, because the player base is filled with dumb fucks that don't understand that this is a re-release and not a remaster.

I was kinda hoping Blizzard would use something like this for a Classic WoW April Fool's joke.
"We hear the #nochanges community loud and clear. We're committed to providing an authentic vanilla experience. Any players attempting to run WoW: Classic on an operating system newer than Windows Vista will get an error message and be unable to run the game. Only Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP (up to Service Pack 2 only, since XP Service Pack 3 didn't come out until 2008), and Vista will be allowed. Oh, and don't try to use compatibility mode or VMs. We'll find out.
In addition, the game launcher for WoW: Classic will run a hardware check and send your system specifications back to us. If your PC is found to have any hardware newer than the BC pre-launch patch, your account will be banned from accessing WoW: Classic servers. However, you may remove/replace the offending hardware components with approved hardware. Your account will then be re-evaluated, pending the hardware check results."
OT: I would have no problem at all with allowing character rearrangement on the character screen in Classic. It has absolutely zero impact on on the experience.

Would you NoChanges people also disagree with the addition of colourblind mode and the Move Pad?
Those things change gameplay more than being able to rearrange characters would, because they let disabled and colourblind people play the game easier.

No changes, please.
I like the tension created by this. It's part of classics character like all the other inconveniences.
I stand firmly in the no-changes camp as I always have and always will. I've been waiting a few days to come up with an answer to this one because I just couldn't find a good reason to say no. I tried. I even tried to apply the slippery slope argument but even I myself had to laugh at that one. I just can't think of any good reason why character rearrangement shouldn't be allowed. It's got to be the least intrusive "change" I've ever heard of in terms of the actual gameplay experience. It has literally no affect on gameplay, as it occurs before you even play the game.
I am no-changes and I approve of this one.
The #nochanges group is the perfect example of “you think you do, but you don’t” is actually correct. The same people that scream no changes at players are the same people who sing the praises of Blizzard who change things like releasing the game in a 1.13 state, complete with spec balancing and changes that weren’t in the game at the time of certain raids and dungeons. The same group who applaud Blizz changing loot rules because they don’t want to hire people to handle complaints, yet these are the same people who praise the community so much and speak of things such as black listing yet admit ninja’ing loot is such a rampant problem.
Look, I don’t care how Blizz handles it, I more than likely won’t play. Might dabble to check it out, but nothing serious. The fact that keeps me amused is just how often people flop on their opinions.
Right, because there is an official definitive survey into what and what not have played the no changes freaks... Anyway there must be something really fucked up in the brains of those who are bothered that people are able to move up and down character names on the fucking interface. Something really really wrong medically speaking...
