Bring back boosting and let players use there 60’s to boost there alts if they want to play that way.
Stop removing ways to play the game and using rmt/bots as an excuse to butcher the game and remove/nerf everything and design classes around what abilities “gold farmers” used.
If rmt and bots is such a huge and important issue to you then pay people to actively monitor servers and permanently ban them as they start/begin instead of leaving them for 3-6 months and taking sub $$$$ and letting them make a profit as well.
The only reason people keep buying/selling gold and botting is because it remains profitable to do so if you actually ban these people realtime it stops and you can stop butchering every aspect of the game which hurts the players and does nothing to stop rmt/bots.
No matter how many things you remove/design around stopping rmt/bots they will continue to find ways to be profitable but if they simply cannot exist without getting perm banned then those profits stop.
You won’t do that because you make millions from rmt/bot accounts via sub fees if you permanently banned all rmt/bot accounts instantly you’d see a massive decline in your playerbase and profits.
So instead you use every excuse under the sun to justify butchering the game first you blamed gdkp’s then you blamed boosting then you blamed dungeon grinding then you blamed mages then you blamed clear casting where does it stop ?
What’s next are you going to remove epic mounts and the auction house and disable player trades with gold because they also incentivize rmt and botting?
Change your approach stop removing/taking away/nerfing the legitimate players trying to stop the rmt and bots and go directly after them leaving the game intact.
Onto ignore list you go troll back under the bridge.

Make the game great again stop the retail players with there terrible takes on the game and bring back what made classic great and why we all chose to play classic over retail.
At this point there have been so many changes to the game that have been detrimental to players and blizzards reasoning has been to stop bots/rmt.
How about we fix the supply instead? Make herb/mining nodes drop 4x with 10x faster respawns
Free gdkp. Free mage class toolkit. Free paladin toolkit. Free qol nerfs like resetting instances or logout skips. Free wand vendoring. Free boosting. Free dungeon farming. Free many more things I can’t think of.
We have lost too much and the bots are still rampant fk it, just revert the dog changes so we can play the game
Most gold sellers use boosting to make their gold that they sell to people
Makes people sit in dungeons when they should be out in the world (Remember, if you are sitting in a dungeon instead of out in the world, you are playing this game wrong)
People are literally paying to NOT play the game. You aren’t even engaging in the dungeon or game, you are just sitting there.
Screws the economy because boosting is very expensive to buy and the people doing it have tons of gold.
So there’s a bunch of reasons, pick your favorite <3
i wouldnt mind a version of M+ in classic. its 1 of the rare W’s i have seen from retail
i would say blizzard has proven they cannot / will not curb RMT so id rather have things in the game for players to enjoy rather than removing everything in sake of RMT control
If you put a blindfold on to everything, you don’t have to participate with anything - it won’t even effect you. Not 1 bit.
Actually, I can’t wait for Classic+ to be BC +, WOTLK+, Cata+, MOP+ – basically the entire lineage all over again with flying, heroics, mythics, LFR, RMTs, mount farming, housing, pets, etc
because it doesn’t effect me at all!
I won’t participate in any of it one bit, I’ll just keep doing MC and BWL, and AQ right at level 60 - I mean, it doesn’t effect me - others doing what they want in a video game we share doesn’t mess with me gameplay 1 bit
The argument of “just don’t interact with it” or “how does how I want to play affect you” Has been disproven so many times at this point
LFR, flying, boosting, dungeon xp, LFD, summoning stones, the list goes on
When you start chipping away at the seemingly small things that make this classic, you slowly turn it into retail.
Boosting pulls people out of the world. People are supposed to be out in the world. Period. That’s straight from the devs.
It also extremely heavily encourages RMT, messes up the economy, causes players to barely interact with the game.
The leveling is part of the game, you shouldn’t be able to skip it. Ever. With boosts, or tokens or whatever. Its just not part of this version of wow.
If you want a game where the endgame is the whole game, retail is literally there for that.
