I find it hilarious, and transparent, that you started using the term “mental gymnastics” immediately after Red said that about you. Now you use it on other people as if you’re smarter than them?
Also, Blizzard asked the community for opinions, so there you go.
You’re knowingly misrepresenting the no changes idea. No matter how rigid it was, it’s always been some variation of staying in the 1.x.x timeline. Using your logic, people could say that retail is just like Vanilla because it too has changed through patches.
The spirit of Vanilla argument is garbage. That is, in essence, saying “Hey, guys. My opinion is the only one that matters because none of you cretins understood the game nearly as well as I did.”
Guild banks weren’t included in TBC until around 10 months after it launched. Less than 10 months after guild banks started, Wrath was in beta testing so guild banks are closer to a Wrath feature than a Vanilla feature.
Ending the post with the same inaccuracy as you started the post doesn’t suddenly make it accurate.
Correct? Gbanks were in Vanilla, just not a Blizz construction.
Thats correct from a certain point of view, but, not mine. G banks or larger personal banking are the only ‘major’ changes i’d accept at this point.
Thats your opinion. I still feel G banks would be ok. They existed previously, as bank alts. You’re projecting that image of “self superiority” on me, I’m a dirty casual with an opinion that G banks are ok.
Hypothetically:
If TBC launched a year later, and G banks were released in 1.17. Then would you be ok with G banks in Classic?
G banks aren’t game killing like lvl 70 or flying.
Restating a point at the end of a paragraph or essay establishes a sense of closure. Its just a writing technique.
What a Mindf**k eh!
What came first, the chicken or the egg? The egg! Obviously! It was a means to evolve the chicken, and most everything else.
Correct. So asking for a Blizz construction is asking for something that falls outside of the 1.x.x timeline.
That’s the biggest drawback to the Frankenpatch idea is that many people now feel that they should be able to order their Classic features a la carte with some even asking for new features or modifications to previously existing features.
I put that on anybody who would claim to know something as an objective matter when it is a matter of individual opinion.
I’d be fine with guild banks then. The only no changes requirement I’ve had is to stay within the 1.x.x time frame. Having said that, we’re now talking about re-writing the vast majority of Warcraft history. We’d be looking at 5 patches worth of something w/o adding raids, instances, areas, quests, levels. Players would have been running 1.12 content for almost another year. Outside of giving raiders more time to clear Nax, I’m not sure what could have been done. A year’s worth of bug fixes?
As for the chicken and the egg, that’s a debate for another time…unless one is a creationist in which case it was always the chicken and that’s the end of the discussion. I’m not a creationist though.
If flying was added during Vanilla. I’d be asking to play any patch pre-flying. I would not play the final version if it had flying. The way you two sound, like Vanilla is a religion. If it had flying you guys would be like, “Flying was in Vanilla, so it’s going to be in Classic. Quit asking for changes.”
The irony is thick in your previous post. I’m asking some “what if’s” and your response is in absolutes, refusing to consider what i’m saying. Reminds me of the religion I abandoned.
Kind of like how many people would prefer an earlier version of AV?
The key is that earlier version of AV existed during vanilla, unlike guild banks.
I can only speak for myself. IMO, if it existed during vanilla, let’s discuss it. If it did not exist during vanilla, it has no place in classic, which is intended to be a recreation of vanilla that is as close to vanilla as orcishly possible.
