Fish in retail & fish in classic. There is no reason a cosmetic change could not have been made to the icon that you see when hovering over the end of the line to a fishing hook for realism.
Also about the boats, in retail there are NPCs on the boats & in classic there none. It is unrealistic. Obviously the designers of Vanilla knew there would be changes made to the game and things like missing npcs would be added later. There was no reason npcs cant be on the boat in classic.
Since we now know what a “no changes” experience is like, BC & Wrath should be changed. Honestly, no changes was a bad policy. It failed to breathe new life into the game. Much of the community is just aging players (myself included) all playing a older game. It’s like we all want to live in a nostalgia bubble forever. Blizzard should try to refresh BC & Wrath to bring new life and spark into them. If there are changes that can be made to improve, why not? Makes no sense to just ignore it. Even if it is just improving the graphics. We all have more powerful computers than we did in 2007 for example.
In my opinion, if you take time to remake the older games and ignore changes, it’s kind of like neglect. It would be different if the code was fully intact & nothing had to be remade. But that’s not the case here.
As for the others who again are trying to bait me into digressing on Ocarina of Time, I will say you all know the example of a older game being improved by a refresh is valid.
