They want WoW that is more EQ than Diablo 3. They want a more old school version of WoW and are willing to wait. You act like you can think for them about what they want, but they are still playing MUDs that are 10000x more grindy, old school, and harder than WoW ever was.
They'd prefer a slower paced, old school MMO over the fast paced gear showering Diablo 3 like WoW that exists today.
They always wanted to play vanilla but couldn't afford it, and now have the chance, but current WoW has no appeal to them at all. I've tried to get them in. I grew tired of asking about it in Legion tbh, but they are NEW wow classic players who will fit in 100% with what is there, and they aren't alone.
There are plenty of old school gamers who never got to play WoW vanilla who will be in for classic, but who have no interest in retail. They will likely end up being like 10% of wow classic is new(ish) wow players.
Even my wife, who has never played a game, expressed interest in WoW classic if "i didnt mind if she held me back", but i'd have a better chance of talking her into a threesome than to play wow live.
