Name one good change that he brought? I can go back through our conversation history and almost guarantee that the things you dislike about WoW came about during his reign.
Thereās no breakdown of things he specifically made the decision on, but thereās plenty of positive things in the expansions I listed.
He was gone before WoD and Legion, of which Legion started a lot of things I hate about modern WoW.
I wouldnāt mind if they āup-tunedā some old dungeons/raids for T2/T3 item level. A sort of āheroicā or ānew game+ā mode that let players struggle against greater challenges. Maybe give special titles or something, but no additional power creep.

Name one.
Iād go even further and say that Mythic+ in Classic would be a ton of fun. The game is already a parsing competition, imagine if that got extended to the 5-mans as well. The dungeon design in Classic is already great, whatās lacking is the tuning and difficulty. The rewards could be entirely cosmetic so as to not mess with the existing gear progression, but people would engage with the content regardless (after all thereās zero in game benefit to parsing well or speedrunning raids yet the community still loves it).

Not counting TBC?
Hybrids being just as strong as pures in those roles. Further advances on the vanilla talent tree and class design. Giving casual players more to do, especially with Cata and MoP.
You just said Cata was the best time for you, and that was when he was in chargeā¦
I agree. M+ is one of the best things to happen to WoW in a long time. It could be even better, if it was a path that didnāt require spending time outside of it to be competitive, imo.

What?
Street was hired by Blizzard Entertainment in February 2008,
He had no part in the design of Hybrids in BC, as he started his role a few months prior to the launch of Wrath.
OK. Which parts particularly do find fault with?
So in other words, classic+.
No. Iāll take tbc thanks
Personally, M+ is one of the things I hate in new WoW. I see the point and why people like it - but itās an endless grind, that is a time trial and I personally donāt like that.

Fair. We can disagree on this, but appreciate each othersā points.
I like M+, you do not. I appreciate your stance on this.
(Itās actually my favorite ever PVE in WoW - so far).
Absolutely. One of the best part of Classicās character progression compared to retail is the lack of mandatory daily or weekly grinds and the linear gear progression (no random procs to endlessly farm). All of this could be preserved in a Classic M+ system --> higher key levels could entirely revolve around better execution of challenging mechanics rather than requiring parallel power progression (dailies, artifact grinding, etc.) to complete.

I might, but Iām going to try Shadowlands, and it may actually be better for me. I hope it will be!
Itās liked by a lot of people so itās not something I begrudge, I just donāt enjoy it myself. I donāt play modern WoW anyway so it doesnāt really matter - weāll see in Shadowlands though.
Yeah. I agree.
Yeah. My issues with Retail are mostly that doing the content I like requires me to do content I do not like, in order to be competitive.
In Classic, itās similar though. I donāt want to farm World Buffs in order to Raid. Thatās garbage tier play imo. It is simply not fun (for me).
In Retail Arenas and M+ are quite fun, as is figuring out new raids, but having an early PTR sort of means I need to participate in that to enjoy learning it, which pulls me out of progression, and I dislike that.
There are a lot of things I suppose that I dislike about WoW.
Iāve been playing APEX Legends recently.
nah, modern wow devs would mess it up.
lol.
Nah. Modern devs have progressed. Would you be able to do something better? Then do it.
They donāt seem to have progressed in my opinion. And us being able to do it is irrelevant, as not only do we not have the credentials - we donāt have a position to do better.
But itās not entirely on the developerās shoulders. We know that Blizzard developers arenāt able to do everything they want to.
Thatās not irrelevant, it disqualifies you from making a judgement, because you donāt understand it.
Itās also false.
