It would be great if implemented prior to any further Classic expansions.
So your just trying to troll up more Dumb multi spec threads? Because you answered your own question.
Possibly for TBC Season of mastery but not actual TBC classic. Maybe prepatch?
We’ve only got sunwell left tbc is essentially over at this point.
Blizzard hasn’t announced their intentions one or the other for dual spec in TBC Classic.
So no he didn’t answer his own question because only blizzard can answer it.
There could be plans to sell pink unicorn mounts and have a Hello Kitty Island xpac, but there has been no peep beyond the trolls. So no, there are no official plans to release dual spec, tmog, dungeon finder, or pet battles.

I bet all these people raggin on you suck at the game.
They should add it, we fought in original tbc to get it, why not get it earlier.
People act like it wasnt a feature the community complained for and it took until WOTLK to get, but all of the sudden only want what they were given when it was given to them.
It’s crazy people resist the idea of getting something the COMMUNITY begged for originally, earlier than we got it?
WoW is filled with a bunch of sad gatekeeping players who can’t play the game and have fun so they have to ruin the people’s fun who can.
I don’t recall saying there were?
All I said was blizzard doesn’t announce their plans and they also have a habit of surprise here’s a change.
Blizzard generally don’t post speculative discussion answers like that, because people will pounce on them and demand follow through on a non-existent promise.
That’s where the “GHOSTCRAWLER PROMISED ME A PONY” meme comes from.
So until they’re 100% sure they’re doing something, you won’t find out about it. i.e. It’ll be in the patch notes.
That said… Wrath.

They don’t need to. Their actions speak louder than any words they could ever drum up (but won’t because it’s a waste of effort).
Face it. You lost.

The vast majority of the playerbase lost, unfortunately. Blizzard still proving their incompetency, day after day.

The “vast majority of the playerbase” is likely completely indifferent. Just because someone wouldn’t mind it being added, or even would like it added, doesn’t mean they care if it’s not.
This has always been about the likelihood of Blizzard adding it, and from the very beginning the answer has always been “they won’t”, cue the absolute copium from the select few…
With the likelihood being so nil, whether you want or don’t want it is irrelevant, because popularity of the feature likely played zero part in whether they determined it’s a good add or not. As you said, it’s popular enough that if that were the case, it would have been a no brainer, yeah?
So why do you think they chose not to add dual spec?
It’s never been about the likelihood of blizzard adding it. It’s about asking for it and explaining why we think it would improve the game. You seem to think it was some sort of contest between you and us when in fact you never mattered to us at all.

Somewhere along the way a few people have taken the position that the authenticity of a Classic server shouldn’t be the default position. Which is bizarre. There is no cause for someone to justify why the experience should be authentic to the original. That’s the point of a Classic server.
But when you say that these few people look at you like you’re crazy. Like they’re the ones who are in the right simply because their own personal opinions of what’s ‘better’ somehow supersedes the authenticity of the game. Let me tell you something: you don’t know better than the original devs. They created the most successful mmo of all time. So much so we’re here wanting to play a 15 year old version rather than the Current version which includes all these features and conveniences you seek.
The simple matter is that it’s up to the players to adjust to the game, not the other way around. You want to experience the game as it was back then? Then you need to step back and approach the game with the mindset of players at that time. My advice is to relax and chill out. It’s just a video game. The average player didn’t take it so seriously back then. They played for simple fun. That’s the key to recapturing the old experience of WoW.

You’re entitled to your opinion. You can wish and fantasize that it’s true. But it doesn’t look like the current devs hold that opinion since they’ve been adjusting the game to the players. In fact they clearly said that is what they’re doing and what they will continue to do.
Patrick Dawson: “No changes” being our guiding principle for WoW Classic made it very easy to make decisions on it. We just went to the reference client and went to that. But one thing we learned as we went through the release of the content in Classic is that [no changes] may not always be in the best interest of the players. Putting back in things like spell batching made the game feel a little less crisp. It was authentic, but it’s not what modern players want. The community today is so different from what the community was back in 2007 that it had us take a different philosophy with Burning Crusade, where we actually started to allow ourselves to make some changes that were in the best interests of the players that will continue to develop alongside the community.

I didn’t read the rest of your post but the answer is: because they’re bad at their jobs. It’s the same reason they originally implemented 400ms batching. It’s the same reason they chose to implement the original group finder (which they said would be a waste of time).
etc.

This is the only correct answer.
Blizzard has had a longstanding habit of making alterations and changes to its game on a seeming whim with next to no player feedback that we are privy to. We’ve gotten same faction BGs almost out of nowhere in response to player complaints about BG timers, while also getting Alliance-only bonuses for queueing for BGs… only to then suddenly get massively amplified bonus Honor from the world PvP quests without warning.
- Blizzard may consider Dual Spec an important enough carrot for Wrath Classic.
- Blizzard may not consider the inconvenience of respeccing all that big now with how inflated gold is in TBCC.
- Blizzard may really like the idea of implementing Dual Spec in TBCC, but wants to time it for sufficient impact on the game.
- Blizzard may really like the idea of implementing Dual Spec in TBCC, but has 15 other things it feels are more important to implement first and may never get to it.
- Etc
Blizzard doesn’t communicate clearly even with its own patch notes and announcements (see the faux angst over the ZA Badge gear). Blizzard frequently breaks things somehow with every patch update (see Druid powershifting and several other API disruptions).
So we likely won’t know a thing about Blizzard’s view on Dual Spec until it suddenly shows up in game, either in TBCC or WotLKC, with barely a word one way or another.
/shrug
We got Chronoboon well into Naxx release, nothing is out of reach for whatever it is Blizzard calls a timetable. SWP is a big content update with the Isle, MgT, and the raid. It is also the first thing since AQ40 where the server participation actually matters since we need to do dailies constantly to get everything done and unlocked (including that coveted badge vendor). The ZA patch and/or SWP patch would be good times to drop Dual Spec into the game since people are getting alts up, playing multiple roles, and having an opportunity to do more things.
Nothing in Blizzard’s history of doing things requires them to drop things into the game only on designated patch days.
Literally no one is treating this like a competition but you. Don’t be childish.
If your not playing optimized specs in PVP or PvE, nobody will play with you and if they do your only making it harder for them.
But, what would you know of that?
Dual-spec shoulda have been put in the game at the start of TBC. The only people the respec cost hurt is the people who actually play multiple aspects of the game, of course people who raid-log have no issue with it
