Changes that need to be made for New Classic Fresh

The current state of every new wow classic fresh server will not succeed unless the following happens:

Do not release raids on launch. Make the community farms 5 man dungeons and UBRS-10 man for a couple months so the 0.5 dungeon set gear is worth obtaining and that it is the best current set of gear available for players to get.

Do not release pvp gear or titles until later phases so there can be world pvp. You can release battlegrounds for fun, but no rewards like marks currency, gear, titles, etc. maybe just the pvp vendor gear that sells the pvp trinket and the cloaks and neck.

Find a fix for fly hacking and boosting needs to be figured out. classic hardcore servers was able to slow the process down and not being able to group with 60s to do dungeons was good. Maybe make level requirements on each dungeon for instance, the atlas loot addon has a level range for the dungeon. A level 60 has no reason to run Deadmines for gear upgrades. The only argument viable for a 60 to run a lower level dungeon would be for transmog gear set… go play Cataclysm is you want that option.

Please thread to this post to come up with more ideas and have Blizzard’s attention.

I agree with most of this post.

The honor system being out too early in SoM really messed it up.

How about re-working all the alliance combat racials?

Ya think?
Do we have to keep going through the same experience where one faction has a very clear advantage?
I can’t believe nobody has seriously addressed this issue.

Re-work the alliance combat racials…make them actually useful.

I mean escape artist is pretty great for warriors, rogues, etc….

Dwarf priest with stoneform can’t be killed.

And rogues with perception cannot be found in stealth.

I would be down with having WSG available from the start, even if you can only farm its rep / rewards.

Dungeon Set 2 available from the get-go should absolutely be the way to go here.

I agree with you. Do like the no world buffs concept from som.

Yeah, nobody wants Phase 2 again.

Wouldn’t mind having escape artist not fail though and Shadow Meld being useable in combat (on a longer CD of course).
