wonder how many psychology graduates regret their life choices and or have a severe drinking problem, knowing that when they start a new weekly session and they ask âwhat do you want to talk about today?â, the response will be a hysterical âI WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW BLIZZARD IS RUINING THE ANNIVERSARY SERVERS BY INCLUDING DUAL SPEC!!!11!1!!1!â
this but unironically
Stuff redditors will be demanding after a critical mass of people begin raiding:
ď¸ Warriors are OP, normalize rage
ď¸ World buffs suck, change them
ď¸ Human weapon skill is OP, change it
ď¸ HoTs from different healers should stack
ď¸ Battleground x favors faction y, change it
ď¸ Why is dual spec so expensive? Change it
ď¸ Server faction balance isnât perfect, fix it
ď¸ Release belves and draenei now, so my dad with 3 jobs and 16 kids has time to level one
ď¸ Ret paladins need to do more damage
ď¸ Why are hybrids stuck wearing a dress, healing?
ď¸ Give paladins a taunt, so they too can not taunt all the taunt-immune bosses
ď¸ Increase the drop rates!
ď¸ Dire Maul/ ZG should be available right now
ď¸ This itemization sucks, fix it
The game will then change based on how many upvotes any one of the above gets, because design by anonymous committee is a totally valid way to run a multi-billion-dollar service.

exactly, the demands are quiet right now because nobody is raiding. but once people start getting to 60, the whining will be unbearable blizzard WILL give in with more stupid changes. this is a guarantee
I think the way it works is that the developers are just looking to have their confirmation bias satisfied. Even easily botted polls, or what echo chambers they agree with say that punishes dissent. It doesnât matter that anybody from any community can just go to the reddit classic community and override the people that normally go there. If they want to do something, theyâll use this as an excuse. And they want to bring as much of retail over as possible.
At least anything that enhances the game for parse loggers. Any of the things that enhance the game for people outside of the parse logging community they donât care about, and can then tell themselves that theyâre keeping the sanctity of classic by not bringing those things over.

Eyr just enjoy the game
Some changes are fine, others are not. We all have our own lines we draw in the sand. For anybody looking for a fresh server experience in something thatâs true to the Vanilla gameplay experience, youâre on the wrong side of that line. You win some you lose some.
Pretty solid bait and switch on Blizzardâs part though, lol. Make your big Warcraft Direct announcement and get a bunch of positive reactions so you can look awesome to your shareholders. Then trickle in a bunch of divisive changes that will split your community.
Classic Blizzard move

Well good news, they havenât done anything like that. Dual spec just makes it easier and more convenient to do something you could already do before

Oh okay. Well thatâs fine if they charge 50 gold every time you switch. And you can only switch in town at your trainer.
Dual spec changes the way the game will be played and player behavior thus altering the meta. Itâs fine if you donât agree.

It will not. People who will use dual spec were already paying to change talents as necessary. People who will demand a meta spec to join their raids were already demanding meta specs to join their raids
The only impact dual spec will have is being able to immediately swap to what you need for whatever youâre about to do, instead of having to fly back to your capitol, pay for a respec, reallocate all your talents, reset all your ability bars, and then fly back to whatever dungeon youâre about to do because everyone else is just afk waiting for their summon. Or the group disbands because no warlock joined and theyâre too lazy to start moving, and so you just wasted your time for nothing
In fact, dual spec is more likely to encourage people to try new things, because if this new meme spec they thought up turns out to be just that, they have their normal spec to fall back on until the next time theyâre back in a major city

Nah, it was absolute rejoice across the internet with the announcement of dual spec. Only like 8 people on these forums are upset about it.

Great, who cares about the meta. 99.9% of people donât care about the meta and donât participate in the meta, including YOU.
Get over it or stay on 2019 Classic realms!

you just wanna ruin the game by adding in MuH CoNvEnIeNcE features youâll end up quitting when you get bored thanks to all this convenience. either that, or they make dual spec so restrictive that it prevents the worst from happening. iâm hoping for that.
What you just described qualifies as a change in the meta.

Thank you so much.
A meta is the optimal way to play the game. The optimal way to play the game will change with the addition of dual spec. That is undeniable.
