It's quite funny how many people say stuff like that isn't it. "How can you remember this?"
Memory is extremely complex, people can remember and forget events seemingly at random.
I remember fishing in Redridge at level 24 on my Mage because I wanted to level her skill up for Gahz'ranka in ZG when I reached 60.
I remember how from 1-15-ish the regen rate for mana and hp was completely out of whack.
I remember specific places in the game world where you could blink through and/or climb up walls without having to look them up.
I remember Tauren having larger sizes which caused them to have to unmount all the time when going through doorways.
Some people don't have the memories of a goldfish, others seem baffled by this fact.

Speciation Is Gradual
Some of these have me howling..
So they decided to reward people who are still subbed and actively involved in the game and not invite people who aren't actively involved in the game. Seems fair to me. Why would they choose a bunch of people who haven't been playing to test it over people who are actively playing WoW? While yes, many people may have unsubbed while they wait for an update or vanilla to be released, they can't know for sure those unsubbed players would be interested in coming back to test vanilla, where as there is a much higher chance someone who is still subbed is still interested in the game and therefore more likely to be interested in beta testing vanilla.
Tbh the fact they've ever invited people without subs back for beta tests baffles me. I imagine they did it to try and retain players or bring them back, but inviting them to play a buggy broken version of your game seems a strange way to do it. Using active players for beta tests makes far more sense.

why would they choose a bunch of people playing modern wow and clearly have no idea how vanilla was supposed to work over people who actually have a better idea of how vanilla works? why now all of a sudden do they care about rewarding subbed people over those who were actually waiting for classic?
i don't know. you tell me.
because the results from modern testers tell me they have no clue what the heck they are talking about at all.
complaints about stuff not showing up on mini maps.
complaints about quests not showing up that are low level.
complaints about regeneration and spawn rates.

Whats that ? Elitist people from nerf pirate servers complaining ?
I have to admit, I literally laughed out loud when I read the commonly reported "bug" list on some of those items. The quest objectives and points of interest not being on the map or mini-map one and the NPC respawn rate being much slower than in BFA were especially... classic? Guess I'm still one of those people that actually read the quest nowadays and always have to guide people that are so confused as to where to go when the in-game quest helper doesn't show up properly on live (when it's almost always listed in the quest text).
“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville
Well it depends how youd extend that thought. I dont have a sub. Current WoW absolutely does not deserve it and I wont sub for a beta I might not get into when I have 0 intent on ever reinstalling during BFA's lifecycle. If I can get the beta and not access it fine, make it show up on my menu ill log in buy a token and activate my account to play Classic Beta. But if they want me to pay for the opportunity to maybe get the invite? no thats dumb because then money is running and I get no game time out of it because retail can burn at this point.

I get all of these, except for this one:
This just seems beyond stupid to me and like something that should be fixed. This isn't something that's 'working as intended', enhances gameplay or anything like that. It's just an annoying visual bug that's nothing more than a nuisance.NPCs which offer multiple quests may inconsistently display them as a dot or a “!” on the available quests list. They were inconsistent in 1.12, and we’ve reproduced the exact inconsistency they had back then.
I played in Vanilla (raided from Molten Core all the way through to naxx although didn't clear naxx), and I can't remember all of the things mentioned in this list.... Stuff about Taurens having a bigger hit box I may have heard about (I honestly can't remember if I did or not) but i'd have no way of confirming it back then because I only ever played as alliance during Vanilla. Other things like warrior health regen I just can't remember about specifically enough to have an opinion even though I did play a warrior up till about level 20 when I decided I wanted to change to hunter (I thought it was cool you could tame pets to be your own personal tank).
I'd imagine it's the same for a lot of people who played in Vanilla.
In fact i'd imagine many people who can remember such specific things are actually people who have played on private servers in recent years. However even those people aren't arbiter's for how things were back in Vanilla because not everything on private servers is exactly how it was in vanilla. So maybe dial down on the snobbery you are displaying.
