What if blizzard restored content that was cut from classic like Grim Batol and Dragon Isles? Maybe a couple of months after the final phase and guilds start having naxx on Farm they could add these raids with the classic mentality they had for naxx? The rewards would be items maybe 20% weaker than Naxx drops as not to trivialize naxxaramas too.
So in your worry to not trivialize Naxx, you plan to trivialize everything before Naxx with what basically amounts to catch up mechanic content.

Idk, at that point we’d just be playing wow 2. Any “New” content made would likely feel like a fish out of water unless they visually overhauled all of vanilla or designed the new stuff to look like it was from 2006. That being said it would be pretty interesting to see what the world would’ve been like if we HAD gotten that Hyjal raid or went into Uldum like what was planned. Hyjal atleast wouldn’t be much of a stretch considering it was already modeled, Archimonde’s skeleton and all.
It would be harder than naxx and require rep to enter. Also this is in the future when classic raiders want the classic raiding expereince with classic design in mind and not retail WoW where raiding is just log on sync everyone into the dance and do the dance to defeat the boss and if someone dosent do the dance right the raid is insta wiped.
But if it’s rewards are worse than Naxx’s then why on earth would anyone do it.

I don’t think you fully comprehend what you’re asking for here…

There are people who like the Classic WoW design of raiding over retail WoW and would like some new stuff. Its like people doing naked raids at level 60 of level 70 stuff it wont make classic harder but it will give people who like classic design a challenge
Probably meant WotLK Naxx. They probably don’t realize there is a difference.

I am down for tier 3.5 and a raid instance harder than Naxx.

Let classic come out first, trust me, there is PLENTY for you to do before you start asking for things to be added. I understand waiting for news is boring and it has some people becoming, Extra Creative, but lets practice some patience. 
Blizzard: We don’t want to run 2 mmos.
Hearing-impared players: Develop content for 2 mmos!

Sidegrades and catchups are a big can of worms. You won’t get a lot of consensus that it is a good thing to do.
Zul’Aman could be the next 20 man and Karazhan is obviously the next 40 man.
Problem is Karazhan fights aren’t difficult, so they would have to be retuned to be gear checks mostly. Although I don’t see a game design problem with having a “fun” tier after the hell of Naxxramas.
at this point Classic WoW has a bigger team than retail and is doing more work to restore classic.
source for that?
First of all you’re going to need a source on that.
Secondly there is a big difference between taking a blueprint and designing new stuff.
