How can that be the case given all the private servers out there running the original client?
Beats me, like I said, itâs just what Iâve heard/read, Iâm not really sure just how much of it is gossip and how much of it is truth.
Would it surprise me if it was the truth? No, but it wouldnât surprise me if it was just pure gossip either.
I mean, companies donât just âloseâ source code lol, thereâs a thing called version control and repositoriesâŠ
Itâs literally their most valuable asset, as wellâŠ
I personally donât care about the gold cost at all. I care about modifying my UI whenever someone asks me to flex into a role, which shouldnât be necessary - and Blizzard decided that it wasnât necessary as they made improvements to player QOL in wrath.
That was part of it, but they also wanted all the improvements theyâd made and all the bnet integration of the more modern version. So they basically started with legion and made it into classic.
Another lie. Itâs a statement given mid-late TBC in response to whining for flexible respeccing.
You have no evidence of this. If anything the facts argue against this. Another lie.
The blue tells you the exact gameplay reason I am against it.
You are a joke. You arenât getting dual spec. Deal with it.
Yeah Iâm so sorry I donât want Blizzard to ruin the product I like with features that donât belong, my most gracious apologies.

on successful pservers due to having dual spec, they all charged like 1 -5k gold for players to âenableâ dual spec so its not like its free and its still serving the purpose as a âgold sinkâ as per its original design, confirmed by blizzard devs.
Oh, Iâm weird, I just use the default Blizzard UI, and my bars pretty much stay the same regardless of the spec I play. Like my interrupt is always Alt-1 so UI changes donât bug me as much. Iâd understand it though if people donât wanna have their UI messed up whenever they need/want to change roles.
This is the actual reason. The Shadowlands client has 10 years of optimization, bugfixes, UI improvements, and yeah integration with external systems like Bnet and messenger etc.
#dualspecplz
Sure, like I said it would be worth it for me to pay gold for the capability to have spec profiles built into the client.
No it doesnât it just gives some vague design goal that didnât actually work out well in practice. So yeah tht also goes back to not taking a random blue post as infallible gospel, when they actually make a lot of mistakes.
Which is of course why they changed position on dual spec during TBC.
I donât care what side of the fence you sit on, but your way of arguing the subject is toxic and degenerate though. Hence the cbf
My first introduction to people on your side of the argument was coming in here and saying âyeah this would be good, because then my mate can tank dungeons for us without us needing to fork out the 100Gâ and immediately getting hit with âLIAR! anyone who says theyâd use dual spec to spec tank is LYING! Itâs a FALLACY!â
The facts donât match up to this assumption.
They literally had to rebuild classic from scratch off the Legion client because they literally lost all of the data.
Itâs not crazy to think that this applies to stuff as early as TBC too.
I only mirror that of who Iâm arguing with, tbh.
If you were an actually reasonable person in discussion over something you feel passionate about, I very likely wouldnât feel the need to give you attitude, but aâlas, youâre nothing but attitude ever since you zoned in to this conversation.

Well no as usual you are wrong, they didnât have the early vanilla code. They did have a working reference for 1.12 which iâm sure played into why we got 1.12 although they had plenty of other reasons for that too.
heh, maybe I shouldâve said âcompetent companiesâ.
You know whatâs funny, the company I worked at between 2010 and 2019 released the first version of its software in 2005, not long after wowâs 1.0 release. I could literally go back and see the very first commit (subversion xD, before it all got converted to git) - and of course every single change made since then.
The mind boggles to think that itâs not even possible for Blizzard to even do that.
Lol, we werenât the ones that started the âYouâre a liarâ fad in this discussion, all this shows is you havenât been around long enough.
Iâm not wrong because thatâs literally what I said.
Correct, +adjustments.
We also know they had a working build for 2.4.3.
None of this is really relevant, though.

We know exactly how dual spec would affect BC. You could buy dual spec at 40. I and probably millions others played through BC with dual spec. There was nothing about BC that using dual spec was game breaking. It was just the same game but you could switch specs a little bit easier.
