They don’t want to play, they want to log in, raid, log out. Maybe pvp after, but then log out.
Maybe a mobile game would be better for them.
The only troll is OP who actually is seething over not having dual spec in the game that never had dual spec.
Yeah I repair and take consumes to the raid. That’s not nearly costly enough to leave me with not enough gold to respec. So I’ll ask again, does your friend simply raid log and rely on the gold he makes from raiding? If that’s the case then it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone he can’t afford to respec.
You didnt say 10g though. You said half which is 25g. Still fixes nothing. It is still a gold sink. All it does is create a barrier to entry to enjoying the entirety of what that class has to offer.
Snark justified.
People were worried that the gold inflation would destroy TBC economy fresh fresh plx plx
Now they cry over the re-spec costs which never changed.
Make an alt bro, stop finding problems that do not exist.
PS: if you can’t make 100g in an hour to pay for your re-spec, please unsub or go find another game. It is a shame someone crying for 100g nowadays.
I literally said in one of my posts after that one that if it was 10g nobody would complain. You just read the first comment I made and decided to jump on it because it triggered you. Read the whole discussion next time.
Posted again because you are probably too dense to scroll up.
Well it is costly for others.
I honestly don’t know how he makes his gold and I don’t ask because it’s really none of my business.
He respecs a lot, actually. Which is why he’d love Dual Spec so he wouldn’t have to do that so often and spend gold on other things such as his alt, epic flying, stuff the guild needs, etc.
I’m not crying over anything. I’m playing devil’s advocate but go ahead and be immature about it. Grow up.
By the way, anyone calling for “gold sinks” really just wants more bots because that’s what it will inevitably lead to.
People who don’t wanna farm are just going to buy gold online, just like what happened in WoW Classic. Respec costs just give people another incentive to buy gold online.
Dual spec would ensure people don’t have to refill their wallet every time they want to choose another spec. They’ll just have it on the table and move on…
You have been raging ever since your first post in the thread. You didn’t even make it past the second post before you got triggered and hammered out a snarky repsonse.
Regardless of my emotions and feelings about what caused the decline of the game, the fact is that Classic exists precisely because a bunch of people wanted older versions of the game “as they were then.” That’s a direct quote. See the infamous video below…

And Blizzard has clearly stated that it is their goal to provide us with that, i.e. an authentic recreation, or as near to it as practically possible. It’s what we’re paying for.
Dual spec is completely inauthentic to TBC. This cannot be debated. It is not how it was back then. And there is no reason to change this aspect of the game other than I don’t like this about TBC, and I want it to be changed to be more like later expansions. But TBC being different from later expansions is the whole point.
Again, the inconvenience of respeccing was not a mistake. It wasn’t an oversight. It’s part of the design of TBC, and it is very much working as intended.
Dual 
Spec Is Not A Retail Feature.
Raging? If that is raging to you then you are quite sensitive and won’t survive this world. Go cry in a corner.
Like I said you’re dense af so I wouldn’t expect you to understand the meaning of anything really. But you are clearly mad.
I think most of the #nochange people don’t play retail, honestly.
That’s why they don’t want the game to be changed.
I mean, let’s get the Dual Spec in WoTLK. It’s gonna be great.
I’ll tell you, I enjoy the experience of seeing what things were like back in vanilla, and TBC times. So many times, I go, “oh wow, this is how it was back then, wow, cool” or “oh, that’s different, I see how it was” blah blah
Dual Spec is a pretty big convenience package, and that’s all it is. The game definitely doesn’t need it, though I look forward to it in wrath.
50 gold to change spec is fine for now, totally playable.
Agree. The #nochange classic zealots really are spoiled children.
Classic exists because after BFA release Acti-Blizzard stock prices tanked from $80USD to $42USD and with a 2 year cycle of BFA ahead of them and no clear new revenue streams they need something that would have a big impact and they needed it quickly.
And Bobby Kotick laughed all the way to the bank while the player base ate it up in spite of 13 years of Activision pursuing profit over player experience.
Rational people tried to tell people that it wasn’t going to be #nochanges no matter what but people didn’t want to listen.
This is your line in the sand? You’re okay with the Drum changes, you’re okay with the Paladin changes, things that have a huge impact on gameplay VS original TBC but you’re not okay with a Quality of Life change that is dual spec?
Your appeal to authenticity is as disingenuous as your appeals to nostalgia.

Well we were having a decent discussion. But now its devolved into people trolling and being as rude as possible.
This. That should be the end of the discussion. Anything further just makes these folks look like simps–standing on some “principle” vocally but then doing nothing when someone repeatedly violates that principle.
The drums meta was not a thing in original TBC. Everyone wasn’t pressured into being a leatherworker back then. But that would have certainly been the case had they left drums alone in 2021. This was a necessary change to preserve authenticity.
The paladin change, again, was to counter a modern meta that would have made the game very inauthentic. Nobody wanting to play a pally would have rolled Alliance. But that was not the case in original TBC. Again, it was a change to preserve authenticity.
Dual spec is 100% a move toward inauthenticity. It doesn’t fix a major problem or flaw in the game that has emerged due to modern metas. It’s simply a modern feature from later expansions that some people want added, to make it more like those later expansions. Which again goes against the whole point of TBC.
