I want my tier 3 rogue with thunder Fury to be classic only forever.
Think about it like this
You have done two years of progress on your character and achieved all of your gear when it was current content. That progress should stay on the server that you achieved it on. Burning crusade servers should be fresh 100%.
Not only can you achieve all of the gear in burning crusade when it’s current content but you go through the process of leveling up again and making gold. If we just continue on with classic into TBC on the same server Mages with 100,000 gold wall control the markets and have a huge advantage.
People are just lazy which is why I hate boosting so much by the way
You were not replacing the gear in HFP. Feel free to go look at the quests and say what you are replacing from Naxx with any of the greens in HFP. Perhaps you are remembering that people were and still are generally mad they replace purples ever which is always an argument i see. On the other hand people that did Naxx held most of that gear INTO Kara.
I only resubbed to respond to this, and I know that I will say something that some of you will agree with and the same for disagreeing with.
The short answer is this, no.
The long answer to follow up the answer is this: Blizzard should NOT make TBC new characters only. That wouldn’t be “authentic” in any way shape or form. But blizzard DID add servers for players to play on in addition to the original servers to help spread out the player base for a smooth launch. If anything, blizzard should add new servers along side the copy tbc servers that are TBC only, with the option to transfer to those servers.
If you REALLY want to point the blame on ANYTHING, just look at the mirror. It’s the player base, every thing we have seen has been from the player base, not blizzard. But I will blame blizzard for listening to the player base for one thing, #NoChanges. if they didn’t listen to them, I bet the game would be “better”. But that’s the problem with the after sight from playing.
I also want to point out that no, that naxx gear will carry you to a point in TBC. Sometimes set bonus is just better, but this LARGELY depeneds on how your classes need stats over set bonus.
If people were that addicted to wow it wouldn’t have lost millions of subs from the Wrath high of 12 million. Most classic players are players that were not “addicted” and quit wow years ago. The idea that they won’t do it again if blizzard rolls out BC badly is nonsense.
Every server will want blood elf paladins and Draenei shaman. Regardless of wether we copy our 60s, or start with fresh 58s, or everyone starts at level 1. Those races will catch up really really quick because the demand will be insanely high for them.

gee, can’t wait to replace my crappy Naxx staff in HFP, only to lose 78 spellpower, hit and crit. But I gain spirit! ooo.
Yeah, maybe the frost resist pieces. MC/BWL gear gets replaced early. Naxx gear does not. The few that actually were decked out in Tier 3 were wearing it during their T4 progression.
People need to get past the meme of how things were when the game wwent to its first expansion. SInce most people were ONLY doing MC BWL at that point and not doing Naxx. The gear was replaced.
Just have both options for people. If ppl want to copy then do it.
My personal experience with tbc was a fresh server. There were no vanilla characters, only fresh tbc toons. And was the most fun I ever had playing wow because of the community.
