To the people saying the 2007 dev teams opinion doesn’t matter.
I didn’t just list them. Notice I listed today’s team as well, because, you know, they still haven’t added dual spec. So their view on it is petty clear by actions (or lack there of) they have taken in terms of dual spec. We are on the second to last phase of tbcc and still not even a mention of it for tbcc. That in and of itself shows they did not intend tbcc to have dual spec.

They also don’t appear to care what those old devs thought given the changes they’ve already made.
You’re free to hold that opinion but I never thought wow was the greatest game ever. Vanilla was good for it’s time but was very flawed. Lots of us thought that at the time. Even the original devs saw their mistakes and made numerous changes in BC and Wrath. And you can claim the “silent masses” want what you want but there’s no data to back it up.
Yes, it doesn’t. But no changes was very specifically rejected by the devs in BC classic. You can continue to futilely grasp at it but it was gone before BC was released.
The current position of the dev team is that QoL changes are okay for TBC Classic.
Not sure how you have missed that.

It wasnt but a handful of posts ago that someone posted a fairly recent quote where the current devs stated authenticity plays a heavy role in their decisions. You are free to not believe them based on other changes theyve made but since your pet change isnt here and it doesnt look like its coming we can at least say they dont care about what you care about. Even if they dont give a rats patootie about authenticity they care even less about dual specs.

That proves nothing. You could have said the same thing all through vanilla classic about the chronoboon.
I’ve never seen any evidence that you have a clue what the devs are thinking or what they’re going to do next. So I don’t think there’s anything you can say about it that I wouldn’t find worthless and boring.
Dual specs arent here. The devs never said dual specs were a thing much less a consideration. This is actual factual evidence. Ignore it as hard and as long as you like.
I dont have to know their every thought to know dual specs in TBCC arent a thing. They dont exist. Period. You think their silence is evidence that they somehow are a thing as evidenced by your contrarian commentary. You would be wrong. I am right.

In your opinion.
We can see how much that is worth.

I acknowledge that you are able to sometimes make accurate statements about what is presently in the game. But
But once again, all you have to do to prove you’re able to guess the future is simply link to posts where you correctly guessed the future. Just a post where you said input broadcasting software was going to be banned, or a post where you said dungeons would be limited to 30 a day, or a post where you said arena start points would be changed from 1500 to zero, or a post that said the chronoboon was going to be added. Have you ever predicted any change before it happened? So why should I care about your guesses now?
Same faction BG’s says yeah no they don’t care.

This is incredibly disingenuous, you are ignoring changes and actions that have been taken throughout TBCC. If the changes had all been made before release, you might have a leg to stand on. The fact is, they’ve made changes not only every patch, but in between patches.
You are once again telling half of the story because it suits you. Be intellectually honest, if you can’t acknowledge all facts, you shouldn’t be involved in the discussion.

Yeah I have one character leveled to 70 on my TBCC account.
Guild often does lots of stuff like dungeon runs and stuff, but we’re always stacked for healers, and respecc costs just aren’t worth doing 1-2 dungeons then swapping back.
Be nice to just swap speccs on the fly to elemental to help people out if they need.
Brian Birmingham worked on original TBC, he worked on original Naxxramas too. There’s a bunch of original WoW team members still on the WoW team.
Fact checking Zaalg and Redheadchild could be a full-time job.

They choose to instead just flatly ignore your posts to act like you aren’t doing it.
I’m not ignoring any changes that have already been made. Those changes happened for reasons outside of just QoL or popularity.
Some changes were promised for tbcc, not all changes. Each change made so far has been made by its own merits based on the decisions of blizzard. Dual spec is currently not on the list of changes they have chosen to make at this time. If they planned on, or were even considering making a change to add dual spec they would have said something about it by now or made changes that moved in that direction. Even when they chose to make the cronoboon they had made changes and announcements leading to it. An example of this was they made some world buffs undispellable to reduce the toxic behavior it was causing. They took steps before cronoboon to try and fix the problem using smaller changes, when these failed (or at least failed in blizzards eyes) they finally added the cronoboon.
Tell me, what “baby steps” have they made so far toward dual spec being added? What hinting have they made to considering it? Because I see none so far from what I have seen from previous changes and announcements they have made.
Dual spec being added to tbcc has to stand on its own merits if it’s to be added. It doesn’t fix any actual problems, they haven’t made even a hint of adding it, and no change so far has been made purely for QoL or based on popularity. So dual spec for tbcc, based on current information, is not happening.
Tell me what hints did they make before they banned input broadcasting software. What hints before they limited dungeons to 30 per day. What baby steps did they make before the changed arena start points from 1500 to zero.
Cost could outweigh the expected gain.
lol, a tad more.
i hate how true this could be.
I don’t think this follows that well, just because a change is made doesn’t mean that the past thought process was blatantly ignored.
I have no idea what you game goals are or what content you do, so genuinely, are you saving that gold for something specific?
Well given the expenses that I know are coming in wrath (Dual Specc for one) I am keeping my funds turned upwards. I don’t enjoy just mindlessly spending gold without good reason.
My main specialization is healing, that’s what I prefer to do, that’s what I raid to do.
Consumables, and repair bills do slowly wear down on your gold total, and spending 100g to comfortably grind dailies feels counter productive. (50g to swap to a dps specc, 50g to swap back)
Doing them as restoration is not out of the possibilities, however it’s mind-numbingly slow even in T6 gear, and generally not very enjoyable.
Which also brings up heroic dungeons, I’d not mind DPSing heroic dungeons since we have a surplus of healers in my guild, but I’m also not spending 100g to do 1-2 heroic dungeons then need to swap back for raiding.
Dual Spec would simply just make my ability to do things more accessible. While I remember dual specc having a hefty up front cost (1,000g) It’s far easier to save up for that amount, drop it once, then not have to worry about it again, instead of being hit by 50g over and over and over again.
I know many people in my guild that have paid at least 2-3 times over the cost of Dual specc simply respeccing alot.
Game has enough gold sinks as it is right now, we don’t rake in thousands of gold a day like they do in retail.

Someone else already replied, so only commenting so you don’t think I dodged.
You’re absolutely wrong, Blizzard does not always give ‘hints’ before changes, therefore it’s not a metric you can base anything on or use as evidence that we’re not going to get Dual Spec.
Try again.
