I tried looking up information from the forums about this issue but I couldn’t find anything concrete. Has Blizz said anything about the relative power of GM’s to solve problems in classic?

@Bornakk

We saw some confusion about a specific part of this post so we want to be clear that Customer Service will NOT be transferring items in WoW Classic and the system that we outlined will be in the players’ hands. If we were to go down the road of developing a policy on item trading, we believe it would end up allowing the exact same kind of abuse that we are trying to minimize with the 2-hour trade window system which we outlined in the original post.

Do we know if Blizz will have separate GM infrastructure in place for classic vs. retail or will classic be merged into retail support?

There is no such thing as WoW Retail support. GMs work across all Blizzard games using interfaces etc. They have the power even now to step into WoW if necessary, but most of their systems are a unified interface that allows them to do things in Overwatch, Hearthstone, Retail WoW and all their other properties. Classic WoW will just be an extension of that.
