Rogue every game in arena was super boring.

Yes, I miss it lot. I dont hate WotLK per say, I indeed have lotsa fun in it. However I preferred TBC, Outlands and it’s dungeons much more. I always thought TBC was my favorite xpac, and for a long time I wondered : “Maybe this was just rose-tinted glasses”… I now know this was not the case, and that feeling was real.
I agree one PvE (and maybe one PvP server if there’s enough demand, tho they could add it and kill it later if it does not take off) for TBC would be nice.
However I’d like to have final phase TBC this time from the get go, no WotLK pre-patch, and maybe a few QoL like herb/mines sparkles, dual scanning ore/plants at same time, and minor things like that. But even without, I’d still play it.
Would sting to redo the whole darned thing again having lost all our hard earned progress, but unless blizzard kept a “final save” (which I doubt) there isn’t much choice.
My 2 cents… and yes please, I want it.

For me, Blizzard could have skipped TBC entirely and gone straight to WotLK—if Blizzard really needed to go beyond Classic.
I almost left the game entirely during the original TBC, but stuck around after the original announcement of WotLK.
I won’t stick around and play Cata—or DoP, or Warlords of Drano. I will stick with WotLK, if Blizzard keeps a legacy server up, or go back and stay in Classic—if those legacy servers survive.
Otherwise I will just retreat to my unfading memories; memories of when WoW used to be a really good game—without streamers, and eSports, and all this other nonsense brought to us in the USA’s Age of Stultifying Stupidity.

I get why there’s no legacy servers but they really seemed to rush TBC after belabouring the start. Didn’t spend anywhere near enough time in prenerf BT and Sunwell.
I have a soft spot for TBC but, vanilla is quintessential wow. I don’t think any of the expansions should get permanent legacy servers. Wrath gets boring quickly. I don’t think it will hold its population that long. It’s like desert, gives you all the goodies you asked for but the rush ends quick.

You mean have us play what you prefer? You’re lucky I had to play through classic and BC and get counted as part of their success only because I was in route to Wrath all along.
It’s as if you didn’t play Wrath before and didn’t know what to expect.

Nah, I mean vanilla is the “classic” game and they promised to maintain it. They didn’t commit to maintaining permanent expansion servers. I’d love permanent TBC servers but it ain’t happening.
I agree that seems likely, and I can’t wait until that point in time when we cut off our subs when they decide to can Wrath. It’s going to be a great game of chicken.

Is still an extra branch of the game they’d have to maintain, lowering the quality of support we all get…which is already abysmal.

Yup. TBC and vanilla are the gold standard of gaming. It’s really shown why the game stopped growing in wrath and couldn’t hold onto the old guard. The only thing wrath really has on TBC and vanilla is class design, and even that is iffy because it was the start of homogenization, which while more tasteful in wrath, set the precedent that got us the abomination of MOP “class” design where every class was exactly the same with different colors.

They probably could have if they cared.
Either you’re crazy, or I wouldn’t describe it as sprawling. Classic Andys who only enjoy Vanilla generally don’t like the qol of TBC. LK Andys like myself don’t think TBC had enough qol.
It’s not an inherently bad game, but knowing what came before and after puts it in a bad spot.
MOP had the literal best class balance this franchise has ever seen.
The MOP class design was absolute garbage. The talent tree’s were decimated. Every class could do literally everything, there was no class identity, nothing was distinct. Every class played practically the same but with different colors and animations. It was the de-evolution from an RPG into an action game.
its not that bad
I would have loved a TBC era server. I’d still play on there a lot tbh.

Nope. Retail’s first expansion, just like its second/wotlk, took the game in the wrong direction.
All of the gatekeeper”ing? No thanks. Impossible heroics and too much trash mobs.
No. Thanks.
I miss the areas. They were beautiful. But not the content of the raids.
That’s your opinion.
The difference between Classic and MOP talent trees is that Classic has padding. A bunch of small talents that don’t really do much until you get to the cool talent, then more padding.
MOP skips the filler and gives you the good talent.
It’s ok to like the filler. It’s ok to not like not having it. To say its decimated is a nice exaggeration though.
Classes were still different enough. I don’t fully love homogenization either, that said, I think classes should be able to have the basics. I think MOP hit the sweet spot.
Do you… Know what an action game is?
