A wise pirate once said “Dead men tell no tail” and most players who were band are probably not paying an extra sub to come complain about it on the forms.
And yes if you just happened to layer once or twice blizzard may not have notice but more than that and you will start to stick out like a sore thumb.
Or just refer to the wings of Dire Maul: DMN DMW DME

What on earth difference does it make which avatar a player uses? I use retail Vel because she has the best forum rep. Sheesh.

(in case you were not being sarc)
this is way too early
Peers.
Not sure if change or serious.
Originally Dire Maul certainly helped to move people along in MC but it didn’t trivialize it. A lot of the tuning that happened in the patches trivialized MC. By the time patch 1.12 came out people were doing MC in greens and blues, just like what happened with Classic being released with patch 1.12.
You keep addressing at me as if I said it. Those are Blizzard’s words, they were the ones concerned about progression…
Oh silly me. This old gnome must have forgotten about how big of a threat those ogres truly were! Thank goodness we had the biggest, baddest guilds on every server skip out of raid nights to keep the ogres of Dire Maul at bay. The cataclysm would have been two expansions earlier if not for their bravery. 
bet my classic toons are higher than yours…
i guess i’m not the only one, considering i was invited on my 13 lock 2 days ago to an rfd group when i misread it for an rfc group. they were about to summon when someone finally pointed out i was a bit low…
