They've shifted the goalposts so far and the arguments are so absurd that it's barely even worth commenting on. Six months (max) after Classic launches there are going to be threads left right and centre about how Classic "desperately" needs the LFG and LFR tools, how "terrible" 40-man raid loot distribution is, how it's "impossible" to gear any characters, how "unfriendly" the game is to alts - some people just don't understand that sometimes, you don't like something, and that's okay, but you shouldn't try and force it to be changed so that you like it, you should go and try something else.
What on Earth gives you that idea? Classic doesn't exist in some kind of vacuum where it's immune to internet subculture. It's not some magical safe-space where no one will ever meme all over every single chat channel. It's not some sheltered haven where raider.io, wowprogress and item levels don't exist and everyone gets groups entirely based on telling the group leader they "can definitely do BWL". The only reason Classic might have slightly less of any of that is because it will be vastly less populated than most new-release games and retail WoW itself.
