Wait until you hit a boss where the aoe damage is enough that a few ilvls across all gear is a one shot vs a healer strain.

To an extent yes. Dont get me wrong the change in question at high level doesnt seem terrible, but it is more the implication that Blizzard devs are making A LOT of changes. Classic was mostly meant to keep things as close to the original experience as possible and the trust from the playerbase was in the older devs, not the idiots that made retail.
Some changes are ok as long as they tie into the original intent and dont impact the core components that much. Instead they are just rapid firing things as if this is a new game for them to play with. I want them to act like government, stay out of our business and let us live.
Sounds like a challenge! Lets go.
Its amazing how last week everybody is like “WotlK is so easy why would bring more than two healers” and now they are “OMGERDS YOUR HEALERS ARE GONNA WIPE BECAUSE YOUR GEAR SUCKS”

It took them a month to add a “new player” check box to the LFG tool and little to no change since then. I have zero faith they could do this in a reasonable manner. I mean, just look at how ham fisted their anti-boosting solutions were.

The entire authenticity approach went down the toilet with boosting. We are playing WOTLKC not WOTLK. Boosting alone is a more egregious deviation than anything the old devs ever did.
I think the concern should more be over implementation given their extremely limited resources than the authenticity of classic which is already so different.
It’s more amazing blizzards thinks that was ever the opinion.

Well they already admitted the reasoning behind this PROPOSED change is to keep Ulduar relevant after ToC releases.
Nah they also made the tool sort by group size and role.
That will make it even easier for tanks to form groups and shame dps by displaying groups they aren’t in.
You should’ve spoke up more against #somechanges then.

A noble goal, but with nothing other than a ilvl nerf of toc and icc very very stupidly implemented.

Then i am mistaken and i applaud them for working on it. It’s still not as good as the retail one, but its a start. I still have zero faith they can do a item squish properly.
I would be okay with a smart change if their track record with changes wasn’t dog doo.

The game is under attack by Dev’s that haven’t listened to the community for 8 years. We are fighting every day, raise your swords and axes.
They literally listened mere hours ago:
The devs do listen. They just don’t listen to tantrums.

Oh it’s going to be great as a tank trying to form a group, DPS lol have fun.
Yeah I think the item squish is tackling a whole new level of balancing. Tweaking their LFG tool was one thing but finding a way to compensate balance for entirely changed gear and how it affects secondaries is something else.
If they simply buff abilities, they can make some gear redundant. If they don’t, many classes especially warrior will be hit disproportionately. I wonder why they couldn’t consider a short ToC phase and a buffed ICC as a substitute.

I did.
