"Buff X class!" when Classic drops.

We all know it's coming. Going to be fun reading it on the forums.
The dev team clearly said on the interview they won't balance any class.
The forum already gets 2 threads about hybrid dps a week...
There are only a very few classes that needed to be balanced back then. And honestly, the only reason they weren't quickly patched is because WoW was so huge so fast that almost all development went into acquiring more servers and keeping the game up under massive pressure.

I'm undecided on whether or not they should do very slight tweaks to balance the game. Off the top of my head, very small changes to Ret and Prot Paladins would be welcomed. Fury Warriors could use a tiny nerf. Druids could use a little love.

For the most part though, the game is loved because of how great it was.

blizzard already said no balance changes.
Well that happened when the game launched as well. Hence the class changes in patches.
Fix mage blink and get rid of hunter dead zone please Blizz. Also give warriors in classic gladiator stance.

If you click the link I posted above. Then watch the video. You will see these word directly from the Classic dev’s mouth. (Paraphrased)

"You think you do, but you don't."
Actually, I think it's going to be "Class X doesn't play like it did in Vanilla". Some of the numbers are going to be off I think after they translate them.
We get "Buff X class or the server will be 50% Warriors!" right now more than half a year away from release so yeah, we'll most likely keep getting them after release too.

Though Blizzard gave us a straight answer about it. They're making the classes as they were in Vanilla. If you want what Blizzard would do with rebalancing the game, they already have that: It's Battle for Azeroth.

We already know paladins are absolutely going to be crying their eyes out after becoming used to private server bugs.

What was the approximate percentage of raid and top tier PVP populations in the private servers, anyway? While Pserver experiences might be off kilter, I assume their class balance relative to each other was pretty accurate. Their numbers might give us a hint as whether that will happen, and if it does, Blizzard will have a decision to make.
Paladins crying on the forum...a truly authentic vanilla WoW experience would have to have it.

Not exactly my idea of a fun conversation topic tbh.

And Blizzard never ever tells a fib.

or you could learn to play the game, instead of asking for hand outs.
