The truth is… I don’t want Classic. What I want is for Retail to be good. But it isn’t, so I’m going to play Classic instead. It is, for me, an imperfect solution.
The problem is, I just don’t believe that the devs know what’s wrong. Or they know, but don’t believe, if you understand what I mean.
They seem intrinsically married to many of the things that ARE the problem. RNG loot boxes. WF/TF. A form of storytelling that has the players just watching on from the sidelines (as a GM of a tabletop RPG, I’d never get away with that ****). An open world that looks pretty, but isn’t interesting or challenging to be in. Too much focus on endgame content.
