Will Classic players have to keep their mounts and pets in their bags and bank like it was back then?

They really should keep it as it was back then.

I think these decisions create a real dilemma. “Traditionalist” would say absolutely not. On the other hand, does it take away from the purpose of the product, not really. In fact minor UI fixes could help retain players (the goal if we want longevity) without scaring away “traditionalists”.

If given a vote, I would say a simplified version of today’s collection tab but I am mostly indifferent.

Part of Vanilla was effectively using your inventory, and having a bank alt or several. It would sort of be weird to give us all the improved functions and still try to say it’s authentic.

it does. inventory space in vanilla was a very big deal.
“traditionalists” are why we even have classic to begin with.

Not using “traditionalists” as a bad term. I’m generalizing that there are two main trains of thought and it’ll be up to blizzard to figure out how to manage them. This isn’t a big topic, but there may be some that turn off players (cash flow).

That’s what retail is for.

IMO, the type of player that would leave Classic because they have to keep their mounts and pet in the bag if Classic doesn’t have a “collections interface” are NOT the types of players that will be missed.

I’m conflicted. I genuinely think that having your mounts and pets be items in your inventory is awful. This means most people will never collect or care about multiple pets or mounts but every proposed change is a slippery slope. If we change this 1 thing why not change 1 other thing and 1 other thing and then we have some amalgamation and not vanilla.

Wrong, no one group is ‘the’ reason we got Classic.

But on topic, really honestly, there isn’t 1k+ companion pets or 500ish mounts in Classic, so while a tab would be nice, it really isn’t needed.

I want the mechanics and gameplay of the world and classes. I don’t care if the graphics are updated and the mounts reside in a mount window and not in the bags.

I’m excited to have to worry about ammo, but don’t care about pets and mounts as much. I care that the animals have different attack speeds, but don’t care if they keep the whole “keep 5 pets at a time” aspect.

If this makes sense.

Bag mounts certainly reduced clutter. I remember in BC when I picked up my first Netherwing drake, I ended up not liking the color, so I traded it in for another one. I still have only that one. I wish I could delete most of my duplicate model mounts and pets.
