not really, there are 3 things going against TBC atm
- Not Fresh
- No more pandemic lockdown that boosted classic
- TBC is just more of classic so people who quit or burnt out in classic will feel the same in TBC
The top players will have an MMR so high that they SHOULD never see a fresh player in arena.
The most sweaty teams that care about pushing Glad will get their rating where it needs to be with a push when necessary and just play 10 games a week when itâs not.
The issue Iâm seeing so far will not be casuals getting free farmed by sweats in Glad gear.
The issue will be casual players will never make an attempt because theyâve got some wild idea they need a full BG blue set to win arena games.
People are so lazy now that they would rather take to forums to complain than form up their own premades in trade/world chat.
For whatever reason there are a ton of people playing a genre that garnered its popularity based around being a social experience - that want to be able to do everything by themselves.
If players invested that hour long queue theyâre sitting on horde side into finding other players doing the same they would have a better experience.
If alliance that just AFK in BGs not even putting in effort to try and win so they can earn a mark and leech honor spent a few hours on the weekend forming their own premades - theyâd have a better experience.
Game is going to have the same issues Classic did of nobody wanting to put in any of the effort or time but thinking they can reap all of the rewards.
Glad carries cost a lot more than gold, though - and you canât fake being good at PvP.

forever !!!
With the amount of bots in BGs (not being banned) - not long.
I feel like it will probably be a solid year and a half. The second half of that later year will be pre-patches and hype for WotLK.
The build up to that hype will be what keeps TBC going too. Just like how TBC created a ton of hype the last few months of classic. Expect that hype to double. Then double it again.
1-1.5 years
3 months after the game will lose 80% of its players as happened to classic-wow. To keep a playerbase active you need a LOT of end-game when I say a lot, itâs a LOT. Classic & TBC donât have enough endgame to keep people interested for long.
Until Classic Wrath
The answer is 42
It will last until wrath come out obviously.
Is that why the game remained bustling with players for 2 years? Because âhurdur nostalgia goggles wore off xddâ
lmao
Huh? It fell off for some people absolutely. There are even threads about it. Unless youâre somehow trying to say that every person that played day 1 Classic Launch played the entirety of Classic up until TBC.
EDIT: I even said for some in my OP to make it easier for people to not get the idea Iâm saying everyone left Classic lmao. Guess my expectations for the WoW forums were high yet again.
Raids are a bit more difficult than Vanilla and TBC offers arena so more people serious about PvP will be playing that each season.
Outland just doesnât offer as much as Azeroth though. Even less so with epic flying, as we can just zoom around from one place to another. TBC offers new grinds to do with each phase so that should keep people busy. The only thing will be the lul between each phase being released and how many people leave and donât come back during that time.
TBC will last 1.5-2 years until WoTLK Classic is released. Blizz sees the $$ value in getting us to pay to replay old games so they will keep pushing that out as long as they can.
