If you have a genuine concern with this method, please let me know, in a civil manner.
For those of you familiar with Old School Rune Scape (OSRS)… when they rereleased OSRS, they allowed for players to vote in game at vote booths if they were above a certain level.
Could this be an option for players that are subbed and above a certain level in WoW Classic?
A number of concerns are being addressed on the forums and in the game everyday. Blizzard has been somewhat transparent with us through this whole process but we are not getting updated as much as we think (in my opinion)… They are likely changing things very regularly behind closed doors. I would like to know what they are changing when they change it and even get some community insight on if it should be changed or not…
Patch notes would be great… however what about community polls?
For the polls, I think it should need to pass only if 70-80% of people agree with the change. Also, this could be a great way to not only be transparent with the player base, but to also make changes that the majority agrees upon.
I think you should be minimum level 40 to be able to vote… this way less of the BFA tourists will be involved.
Yelling on the forums about class balancing, Molten Core, guild banks, layering, loot mistakes in dungeons, addons, etc… has been a huge factor in Blizzard making decisions… while the majority of players probably don’t even use the forums. How can we make this fair? How can we do this properly? I’m open to suggestions.

Does Blizzard do polls for retail?
I don’t play OSRS but in theory I agree with the idea. Friends of mine who play OSRS say the system works well so I’m up for it too.

I’d rather they not change anything but if they do going the OSRS route would be the best imo.

Do you think Blizzard would care what retail players want?
‘We don’t want RNG’ = worse RNG every expansion.

I think level 40 to start would be fair… then in a few months make the requirement 60 to vote.
I was going to make a thread about this a few days ago. How should the elections be setup? Do players elect 1 senator from their server who then vote on WoW features like a republic? Or should it be purely democratic without any senators and all players vote individually?
I played OSRS and it was a fantastic system… it made the game feel like the communities game, which I loved. At the end of the day, it’s Blizzard’s game… but some more information about their plans would be awesome.
Theres an old engineering “meme” of sorts that demonstrates the issues involved when 1 party wants something, the next party tries to understand that thing, the next party tries to make it, and then you have a finished product that was nothing like what was asked for initially.
Players in general make poor development descisions, simply because they lack the correct perspective and are biased, having a group of devs try to interpret those poor descisions, results in things like Refail, or cataclysm, or any one of the various expansions that sucked the life out of vanilla…
Sorry OP, but with Blizzard at the helm and the fact that players in general make poor developers, I couldnt think of anything that would make me quit Classic more than this.
You only have to look at these forums to see the idiocy some people seem intent on bringing into classic, thinking its a good idea…

we could possibly repeat the same issue as retail with this thinking though.
QoL changes that nerf the crap out of the game and make it boring

I find that’s true, even of myself. The me of three or four years ago would have made some poor decisions that seemed like a good idea at the time, and I fervently hope that the me of four years from now will have learned a few things that make some of the things I think would be good now a bad idea.

I can respect your opinion on this… but we are talking about Activision Blizzard here which brought us to BFA to begin with… the classic community knows what they want. Blizzard is in charge of crafting the questions to ask the community. I can trust them enough to not make silly polls. I can trust the Classic community enough to make the decision on if they should make those changes.
So while I respect what you say, I think I disagree, respectfully.
Considering the wide array of opinions and “ideas” put forward on these forums, the only clear thing is a majority don’t want changes to Classic, nor do enough people trust Blizzard to undertake changes without it ending in Refail 2.0

I think its funny how some of you think BFA are the only tourists this game has/will have
One would assume they would be the majority since they are already paying for the sub.
No, it doesn’t. A unified consensus simply doesn’t exist, and can’t, as long as one person differs in opinion.
Whilst wow and osrs share some things the community in WoW plays for completely different reasons and I suspect it would be extremely hard to get anything to pass
They recently tried adding a new skill into osrs that all in all was pretty decent and closed a few gaps
It needed 70 to pass or something and landed on 65% because osrs purist though adding a new skill wasn’t a good idea because of no reason aside from it’s a new skill
They also relentlessly vote no on pvp updates because they’ve got a hatred for pkers in the game because they killed them for a spade
