Objectively speaking, if Classic actually stays with #NoChanges it will be one of the very few MMOs where you actually have character progression that is not taken away from you. Each WoW Expansion cycle takes away power from you, be it through balance or even drastic ilvl squishes. In Classic once you have BiS you have progressed your character to the maximum possible and nobody can take that away if they don't add anything to it. In a vacuum classic is the more correct way to play WoW if you value progression. Having no endpoint means any progression you do is pointless especially if that progression is skipped through catch-up mechanics. Imagine you work your way to be a millionaire in 2 years, then after 2 years the government hands out millions to everyone. That is current WoW expansion design. Classic you earn that million and only others that worked for it will have that million, nobody can take away the power of Naxx gear.
