You have a point. My brother and his best friend are like that, to a degree. Especially his friend. Playing old games just because they're old and nostolgic never made sense to me, but it doesn't have to... people like what they like.
This thread isn't an attempt to critisize people for what they like or prefer. It was written with a certain type of person in mind: the kind that bash modern WoW by using Classic as an example of everything they think went wrong with WoW.

I played on Pserver for over a year and enjoyed it immensly that alone is counterproof to your statement, this post adds nothing. Let people enjoy what they enjoy in peace. Why do people always feel the need to express their own opinion as a fact instead of seeing it as your interpretation of reality, truelly baffles me.
Nice blog fam.
I’ve never played classic WoW and I’m pretty hyped to explore Azeroth without all the butchered lore the modern game has. I have no nostalgia for the game at all.
I always find posts like this to be funny. At what point do we start admitting that maybe, just maybe, people genuinely want to play a more barebones, throwback version of WoW without the frills and conveniences? Everything comes back to “people are chasing nostalgia” or “wait until people realize how bad and lacking it was” and it all ignores the plain fact that there is an audience(myself included) for what vanilla was. Will there be people who try it, hate it and move on? Sure. Will people realize maybe their memories were off? Sure. But if other servers and the general enthusiasm shows anything, it’s that there is a market and a player base for vanilla that just wants that type of game.

This topic may had a point if there was no one argument.
*Server with no name*. And others PS.
Nostalgia is feeling that flows away right after the moment you reach something you have nostalgia about. Classic is different story. Many people, as i am, played on these servers, and played for long time, not because of nostalgia, this feeling dissapeared in week or so. These people played because of gameplay, community, because game rewarded them after some real work, and so on. So idea that people would leave right after nostalgia feeling will go away is bullshit, just because PS's already prooved that this is wrong.

Ofc i see the irony im surprised you do however cause you state your opinion as a fact (That's one big issue I have: it's not all the different. It's just worse.) See how you worded this as a fact instead of saying in my opinions its worse. Since you decided to do that i decided to do the same creating 2 polar oposite facts wich cant both be true. Unless you were to realise your own statement is in fact not a fact but an opinion, perhaps leading to you realising that it would be better to just let this topic be and let people enjoy what they enjoy.

We'd all love for you to explain how referencing a past event is related to creativity in this case.Yes... it does. I figured she did as it's very clear how old you are.

1 Jan 3000, apparently. Not that it matters, because wow devs don't go to the eu forums.
Ah, you mean here? I forgot my password, exceeded login attempts, and cba to reset the password and wait for the timeout. creating a new account was much faster, and which nickname I post with is irrelevant.

This is where you are just objectively wrong. The original NES Zelda, OoT, and Breath of the Wild are all VASTLY different games but none are "better" than the other ... because it depends on the player.
If you think retail and classic are that similar then you just don't really understand game design all the much. Sorry...
Sure there are things that are facts but unless you show to me a scientificly proven method of determining that WOW retail is better then classic i will continue to interpret it as an opinion instead of fact.
Holy crap, i only bothered to read the OP now. What kind of argument is this?
Classic WoW is COMPLETELY different from BfA.
How can something "completely different" not have its own merits? Merits that are not just nostalgia?

Slower paced

Relevant item upgrades
More community
Better economy
How cant people understand this? They are just different games, each with its own merits.
You're just regurgitating crap that others have already said.
Your opinion is completely pointless.
