You would take away The Day that Deathwing Came?

I had actually thought they were going to be updating the zones bit by bit over years like they started to do in BFA with Arathi and the Warfront, but like most things Blizz has done since WoD, they abandoned a good idea instead of improve it.

And the phasing of zone changes as quests progressed was great, but surely repairing the damage should have been a part of it.

I agree the old world shouldn’t have remained static from version 4 of the game all the way past 11. An issue is it seems most people don’t spend time in the vanilla world. You get a smoother experience leveling through more modern expansions, so that’s where the majority spend their time. Those of us who played for over 20 years are in the minority. Blizzard doesn’t have any incentive to revamp those zones. Personally I’d rather the devs focus on new content.

I absolutely loved the rep phasing used Wotlk - Cata and the daily rep hubs. I wish they’d go back to that system, because I can’t find myself caring about any rep through the renown system. By the time I unlock stuff, it’s obsolete, and there’s zero stories involved.

And they could easily use the phasing to show things being rebuilt. Imagine a rep/daily grind and watching the dam in the Wetlands get put back together, for example. Would be awesome.

I’m seriously considering abandoning retail once classic MoP hits.

Well, they knew well enough in BFA that if they want us visiting the old world again to just put new content there. That’s all they have to do. New Blizzard is cheap and lazy. That’s all there is to it.

What if they re-redid the entire Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, so that each zone was as big or bigger than the new zones we’ve been getting? Sure, that’d be a colossal amount of work, and they’d sure want to change the systems so that zones stop becoming obsolete (something I wish they’d do anyhow), but imagine if the world was closer in size to how it is supposed to be?

Then again, imagine if it was a 1:1 scale, and riding a horse between Brill and Andorhol took a real day or two, lol.

Except you can’t play those leveled characters on retail after.
