So do I. I don’t personally feel that is was an overall value add to the WoW gaming experience.

He literally says dual spec. He says the exact term. How you take that to mean he’s not referring to dual spec but “free-form spec”, I’m not sure.
Either way, this is all a useless exercise because the point is that you use predictions on what the developer would or wouldn’t have done as a justification for your argument that dual spec should be implemented in the game, because you don’t actually know. That’s kind of the point being made here.
Oh no we’ll take dual spec as is, those are just a reasonable middle ground.
Thing is, even if GC said he was overwhelmingly in favor of Dual Spec, then Riger and Zipzo’s position wouldn’t change. They’re currently making a mountain out of a molehill since it’s really the only “evidence” they have to stand on.
I think he’s just holding this position to spite you, Ziryus.
“Because GC says ‘mixed feelings’ it must mean he hates it.”
Brilliant!
There’s actually no need for a middle ground on this.
The game with respect to talent spec is working as intended.
Edit: you could argue for a bump in the cost due to inflated gold hording in classic. Respeccing is arguably easier in classic than intended ;p
It will be quite amusing if they add dual spec, you might regret taking an all or nothing position 
I’d say we’re not particularly that worried, the likelihood of you getting dual-spec is invariably low (though obviously not impossible).
well you’re not getting either
We’ll see
we shall see indeed 
They’ll continue playing after it is implemented.
Next thing they’ll claim is “unbalanced” or “not like TBC” is when Blizzard adds barbershops to the game.
I’m not exactly sure on what evidence that you’d possess any reasonable level of confidence that dual spec has a chance, Blizzard has said nothing on the subject throughout the launch of Classic and TBC Classic, and despite the presence of the discussion cropping up due to #somechanges, have still not said anything on it.
At this point, they are either laughing at you inbetween cubicle crawls, or they would have added it already if their classic dev team functioned purely on what creates the most forum topics.
I agree with this. The differences to gameplay between having dual spec and not, are likely not that much.
However, seemingly according to at least some proponents of dual spec, they are happy to farm 1000g or 5000g or however much for dual spec, but not 100g to swap specs twice.
Adding it may prove to be an interesting carrot on a stick that some would like to chase.

The value proposition of dual spec costing even 5000g is not enough to outweigh the immense benefit of it.
If you were really trying to design it as a trade-off, dual spec would likely need to cost in the hundreds of thousands of gold.
Basically, retail levels of gold.
There are trade-offs to any decision. I didn’t mean to imply that the devs intended to design it as a trade-off.
Do you feel the benefits of having dual spec are so immense though? It’s an interesting perspective, and you may well be right. I hadn’t considered it as being so valuable.
Hey I mean if you won’t get what you want, least I can do is make ya laugh, ya know.
Sure, because for someone who might do say 1 BG a day with dual spec but would have to spend 100g to do so it suddenly becomes a viable option. Spending more time farming than the time you’ll spend in a spec is silly, spending a 1 time fee on the other hand is a lot more palatable. And that person is now spending more time in game rather than logged out.
It’s as valuable as it actually costs.
Every time a person respecs it costs 50g. Tally it up to how many times a person respecs for an entire expansion if they respec several times a week, every week.
If we had dual spec and using it cost 50g, and the person using it had an infinite gold glitch on, how much money do you think they’d spend in total by the end of the expansion purely from respeccing?
A lot more than 5000g, I’ll tell you that.
