It’s called a forum character it’s who I post on the forums with.
Well you I’m not amazed at not understanding that how TBC played out certainly influenced the decision to add dual spec.
I said I understood why they were made, I didn’t say I 100% supported it.
What justification does dual spec have to be added?
WANTED TO. I didn’t say they “promised them” I said, they said they wanted to add them try reading the quote you’re providing a little more closely.
Dual spec on the other hand got a hard “no”.
The post you’re referring to occurred in April of 2007.
They mentioned working on Dual Spec at the World Wide Invitational in June 2008.
The foundation of TBC Classic is patch 2.4.3, which released in July 2008.
You think because they may have mentioned Guild Banks towards the end of Vanilla, that means they intended for them to be in Vanilla. It took them longer to get Guild Banks in TBC than it took them to get Dual Spec in WoTLK.
You should apply the same logic that you do with Guild Banks to Dual Spec. You’re misconstruing a design philosophy they had in April of 2007 and applying that same philosophy to a feature they began developing a year later.
No, it didn’t. You still haven’t cited anything to prove they talked about adding Guild Banks to Vanilla.
Actually no, blizzard hasn’t said anything one way or the other about dual spec in TBC Classic.
no they didn’t. show proof of this
The proof is it was added early in Wrath.
The population on servers are falling and people are transferring off to the highest pop ones. Having dual spec would help greatly with filling out tank and healer roles. Not sure why the OP feels the need to get on a high horse about people not wanting to spend 100 gold to respec back and forth.
I have a compromise though. What if the cost gets reset every Tuesday. Starting down to 1 gold, then 5, then going up by five from there to the usual max. So not quite dual spec, not quite 100 gold cost. :I
that is not proof that they “wanted to do dual spec at the end of TBC”.
They were already working on Dual Spec in June of 2008. Listen to the response of the crowd from that question, dang.
They were working on 2.4 before GC took over as lead game designer.
GC was the one who pushed dual spec to happen and wotlk followed his design goals. Tbc ran off the design goals of the previous lead game designer. They were working on dual spec after the lead game designer changed.
You realize they were working on 2.4 probably a year before it got released right?
That’s kind of the point, dual spec wasn’t just added on a whim, it was discussed and decided on long before wrath, you know during TBC.
Wait, these people discuss and plan things way ahead of time?
No way! 
I’m not misconducting anything. The lead game designer changed at the end of tbc. The content and game design was already set from the previous lead game designer and they waited until wotlk to implement a game design that went the opposite direction of what tbc had.
You are continuing to ignore the fact the lead game designer changed after the content of tbc was mostly finished. They waited till wotlk to implement “drastic” changes to the game because for the most part tbc was finished by the time GC took over and changed changed games direction.
Origional tbc devs said no to dual spec for tbc. Stop trying to twist words to meet your agenda.
Has blizzard commented one way or the other about dual spec in TBC Classic? Yes or no.
They did talk about adding dual spec at the end of tbc. They talked about it when they were announcing wrath.
