I love the insinuation here that this alone will be enough to kill Cata-classic.
Never mind their removing to of the best Guild perks from the original Cataclysm. This is what really bothers you.

Just kevel to 85 off troll archaology and if you dont have it by then do heroic dungeons to get a weapon. You dont need BIS to clear content.
LMAO, u all asked for Cata classic and you got Cata classic. Why do you think the sub numbers took a huge hit when it came out originally? Why do you think blizz stopped reporting sub numbers and people left the game in droves? 10 years from now with shadowlands classic it will be the same song and dance
Archaeology was known not to be well designed or even good when it was originally implemented and was later dropped in another expansion.
It was not going to be different this round.
No one is pressing you to put in anytime into it
The game does not revolve around doing it
No one came back to Cata because of archaeology.
It was this rare originally. Back in 2010 i knew people who had 1500+ Troll Solves before getting the sword. The only difference is that they released it on prepatch instead of launch day. So natrually people hyper fixate on it because it is the only way to progress in the game right now. That was the mistake blizzard made. It should have been released on launch as it did in 2010 for a side farm for people who hit 85 early.

It isnt about the sword, its about the friends you made along the way.

no one cares
At this point I would rather just be bad than continue farming for the staff.
It’s about crushing players hope to get a item so they can flex with activity reports per player
A lot of people will be turned off, very few will quit playing if this keeps on since it;s clear they arent buffing it until after raid release

We’re not playing too see cool yellow dots in the mini map, were grinding for the one epic
Honestly thats the fun part. Is working really hard for something you want and then finally getting it. This is what WoW is about. Gotta keep that mindset over the cell phone game loot box explosion just for logging in mindset.

You crushed your own hope when you thought it would be an ez find for a staff or a sword or whatever you are looking for.

I think there’s malice in it. blizzards key indicator for revenue to shareholders is player engagement. they know they can artificially inflate player engagement by thousands of hours by keeping some items below published drop chances. a normal player may spend a few hours a week for a chance at a 1% drop, the same player would not spend the same time for a .025% chance drop.
Its just archaeology. Kind of weird to see people getting upset over something like the pet battles – on that level anyway. i don’t recall people being upset the first time around.
The sad truth here is….this is why archeology died later.
It was not missed by many. The key to liking this is liking it. The menial task but it’s liked by a few. You mix it in with a say herb run.
Rng content with low hit chance. They weren’t giving pre raid bis at say 50%.
Even retails gimme gear if even decent drop rate, is not pre raid bis.
It’s….maybe good till 2 levels in of expac level.
Rng protection? Not happening. We’ve asked for stuff like invincible. Decade and change later….its drop rate is trash. Ngl, before I just gave up, I’d have paid 100k for 50/50 chance lol. Per run. A legit gold sink. Took 3 runs, I send 300kto vendor, and poof. 300k gold off server. Many would I’d wager.
Blizzard says nope lol. Roll your 1%. Per event.
Sooo… You must not have played the original cata because this is exactly why so many players hated archaeology in cata. Y’all wanted classic unchanged. Can’t gripe when they actually leave an aspect unchanged.
