Make it wrath plus and stat squish/buff everything so molten core gear is on par with icc gear which is on par with black temple gear. All end game gear needs to be on par but differs in purpose. Make it so each raid has certain pieces that are more useful for different raids. Fire resist gear in icc, frost resist gear in molten core. Rebalance legendaries so all are equally useful. Then allow players to copy, not transfer, their characters one way from wrath classic plus to retail once per year resetting on season release. Make servers free flow transfer the way it works in minecraft or rust, you just click on the server you want your character to be on and it’s there. You just click on the server and you switch over. Every year there is a season of mastery, and when the season ends all characters get moved to the regular server. Season of mastery is the beta for updating classic plus. Make 2 servers. PVE and RPPVP. Make it so players of opposite factions can raid together, make it so players of opposite factions can be in the same guild. Make it so you need to toggle a check box to enable you to attack other players, OR add a third faction called neutral that allows you to play with horde and alliance. Make world buffs an item. Actively tune items the way it’s done in dota, csgo, rust etc, don’t just add new items so the old problems becomes irreverent. Stop having infinite progression making only a few raids worth doing. Add more raids that do different things, that expand on the resistances and make items that are better for different objectives but still effectively on the same power level. Increase bag size by 2x. Add bags with 100 slots for a million gold as a gold sink. Add a separate bag for soulbound gear that has a scaling number of slots that auto expands as you get more gear with a sort function by resistance type, main stat, and by creatable set. Similar to keyring. Level squish to lvl 20, or increase xp gain by 2000-4000%. Add a mount or pet for completing each zone. You will make every quest in the entire game worth doing/ give mount rewards for loremaster. Give every raid and dungeon a mount. Give mount rewards for pvp master of achievements. Every glad season mount is obtainable at a vendor you get a token for each season. Every season aq gate opening is available, and add similar objectives with different themes for each expansion, like a wrath gate opening or something.
nope
stopped readin there
why? It’s still the old world.
most people don’t want changes like stat squish and rebalanced items. A lot of people who play enjoy the different stats philosophy from modern games. Things being “broken” is a plus. Even in dota, they break stuff every patch. But it seems like youre more interested in updates to homogenize.
That’s very contradictory. Clearly more people like games that re balance their items. That’s why league of legends has 1,100,000 million views on twitch right now and wow has 28,000. That’s why overwatch has 200,000 and cod has 19,000. Overwatch just did a major re balance. Nothing in dota is homogenized. Divine is more powerful than a daedalus people still pick a daedalus. Sometimes you want a heart over a butterfly and vice versa. You chose the item for what you are up against. That’s intersting it makes you think in every situation. Farming bis is boring and a braindead task. Literally nothing about it is interesting at all. You just copy a build and that’s it. You didn’t understand anything I said please reread it.
That’s because league and dota are actually competitive games, and are literally designed around it.
Wow isn’t. It has its competition, but it’s very niche and never ever balanced or build around that.
No. It isn’t.
How to make …an unreadable forum post.
Not for a thousand dollars!
I’m sorry you can’t read.
I mean your post looks like smashed lasagna sitting out on the stove overnight. I don’t blame anyone who tldr
I’m still sorry you can’t read. I know a single paragraph is like the longest thing you have ever tried to read, but maybe instead of complaining here you should go back to first grade because dropping out that early clearly wasn’t good for you.
My favourite part was reading.
If you want to be listened to the first step is making yourself easy to understand. You failed in the first step. Don’t complain when no one listens to you.
Yes, wow has never been a competitive game, you’re so intelligent for thinking so.

I wonder why dota was the most popular warcraft 3 map… clearly being competitive is a new crazy thing that has never been a part of warcraft before.

This is the wrong way to think when designing a video game. If you were a CEO of a company you could take this thought process and make money. But in video games, efficiency doesn’t make a game more fun. It requires you to think outside the box and not everything needs to be numerically balanced.
Buddy most people do not care about wow competition.
The views are hilariously low compared to games designed to be competitive.
Are you a competitive person? You’d know this already.
Wow has its competitive edge, but this isn’t what wow is about
You can get many more views on genres like FPS and fighters because a larger audience can understand what they are watching. That isn’t the case with wow
I don’t know if you legitimately don’t know this, or just want to believe wow is the greatest thing of all time. It isn’t
Immediately no thank you. Squishes and scaling ruined the progression feel in retail, they do not belong in classic.
I read this far and then … just NO - all you raid only nincompoops. I want my levelling slow and nice and fun. Not an eternal rust to max level.
/No, not going to happen with me on board.
make it in vanilla not wrath, maybe add northerend but have it be pre lich king. i like the idea of needing resist sets for different raids but 100x bag slots is ridiculous. all this level squish and exp increase talk is ridiculous too. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/groundwork-for-classic/1368926/182
my fourm post is much better
Best thing about that thread is Lazarak punching that worgen poster in the face.
Repeatedly.
