That is a tree you will be barking up for the rest of your life lol. I have 0 respect for anyone who purchases or plays retail in any capacity when it comes to gaming opinions.
This topic is about a Vanilla WoW fresh, not Classic+ but lets humor that topic a bit.
Classic+ has been done already. It exists in many forms and provided a better product than Blizzard currently does. We don’t have to agree on what content it entails, it just needs to check that + box. If Blizzard did an official Classic+ I would certainly try it, will it be good or successful? That, in my opinion, lies solely on Blizzards (design philosophy).
The design philosophy of SoD is “EVERYONE GETS EVERYTHING!”. Everyone has a Thunderfury, Everyone clears every raid, everyone gets rank 14 and now everyone is getting their Scarab Lord mount. THIS right here is the death of ANY MMO right out the gates. It may not become apparent immediately but it is 100% the main life draining force of any MMO.
I spoke on this exact topic before here

That core design philosophy is so flawed that ANY content Classic+ provides is completely null and void. It means nothing. There is no accomplishments to be had, nothing to EARN, nothing to set yourself out from the crowd. At that point, why even bother playing this “MMO”?
Regardless, lets assume they learned from the SoD core design failure (huge doubt) and they do release a Classic+. When that is released, just as this topic says, BE CLEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE OF CLASSIC+. How long is it going to be developed? Will we ever go higher than level 60 (I’m not playing if so), will there be NEW zones in the world and not just the same exact world with crap thrown into it, will balance be a focus, etc. etc.
We need to know the plans, the time length(how long is this supported), and the core design goal. We need to know if it’s even worth our time to jump into this thing.
Now. Back onto the main topic of this post.
CLASSIC FRESH > BC > WRATH. Make. It. Happen.
