Sad to say but the list of #changes grows bigger by the day.
This is definitely not an authetic vanilla experience. We have all been had.
#nochanges was all a lie. I cant believe i fell for it.
Nah the servers are still larger than they were in vanilla (just a lot less of them). Doesnt mean they are 20k or bigger. Also doesnt mean the people that used play are gone.
You forgot a few :
Mind control changes.
Infernal/Doomguard changes
World boss kiting changes
The random racing girl pants changed
But this one
Will get you picked on by blizzard white knights because it has nothing to do with Classic. But some bashing of Bobby big bucks and his willingness to accept tyranny in the name of $$ is never a bad thing
Bnet integration was inevitable. Layers have been discussed to death as the “lesser of two evils” (the other option being server death).
That’s not part of classic. That’s the playerbase reacting differently… which isn’t something that would be remedied by releasing a perfect carbon copy of 1.0 vanilla.
This doesn’t even have any real bearing on classic itself. Greedy companies gonna be greedy.
This is how it was back in vanilla. Hardly a day went by when someone on the server forum wasn’t complaining about someone ninjaing something.
