For those of you avoiding retail, would you play retail content on pristine realms?

Read that entire post and I agreed with 100% of it. The changes you mentioned in Wrath as to why you disliked that particular expansion, I really glossed over at the time, and still liked it personally…but you are right about all of it.

What you said about here:

So, to answer your other question…could they change all the things I hate about Modern? Someone could, theoretically; the current devs never could. Even if they revised the mechanics to make a fun game again, convinced me that they weren’t going to yank the ground out from under me in the next big patch, and somehow deaIt with the fact that the vast majority of the playerbase who’s still there would be freaking out about the very concept of having to communicate in dungeons and deal with 36 distinct types of characters instead of 4, I don’t know how they’d be able to repair the damage they’ve done to the plot without throwing massive amounts of “it was all a dream”-level retcons at it.

Reminds me of what happened with FF14: ARR. The game was so horrible and unpopular at launch, Square-Enix took down the servers, and revamped the whole thing and completely wiped the entire game world and all of the story/lore they had for it at the time…After that massive Retcon, the game was SO MUCH BETTER afterwards…I honestly think that is the only way retail will ever be able to recover from the cancer Activision is responsible for injecting into it
