it is in the wrong forum

and the last part is flat out trolling.

You disagreeing with an opinion isn’t trolling.

Is it safe to say that the Classic interest isn’t just Nostalgia and “rose tinted glasses”?

Now that anyone can quite easily watch a streamer and see exactly what Vanilla WoW was like, and realise how much more fun, rewarding and how there was actually RPG elements in it!!

Even the naysayers are changing their mind… Plenty of streamers who said tjey weren’t interested in Classic at all are having so much fun and playing Classic Beta more than retail…

Is the anti-classic crowd going to eat their words once again just like the wall of no?? lol

Nostalgia is like a drug. Once the high passes people will start seeing Classic for what it really is.

You will not be able to step away and then come back and go into a new raid in classic. It takes that entire time to gear up, remember you have 40 people sharing 3-5 items per boss and no tokens (even wasted other faction specific drops). If you want to get into each new raid as it is released it will require weekly raiding in order to be ready for the next content

It’s amazing how you can determine this to be true without any proof

Lets not pretend the pro-Classic crowd isn’t constantly making similar determinations without proof. But suddenly its needed.

There are also multiple of the same type of other threads made daily too, but that doesn’t mean they should be flagged

Multiple threads on the same topic, regardless of topic, is spam. And should be flagged accordingly.

What do you feel is the purpose of the Classic Subforums? Why do you feel they were created?

[Backstabbrad-dalaran]

All I know is that I will be coming back for Classic. While I would not touch BFA with a ten foot pole.

All I know is I will continue to play BFA, and would not touch classic with a ten foot pole.

Well that is your choice and I respect that. You could at least respect mine.

How do you feel I am not respecting yours?

I didn’t claim it as an objective fact. This is what I believe. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe I am.

Why pivot the argument on the argument that other people are making instead of the argument that’s being currently argued?

Multiple threads on the same topic, regardless of topic, is spam

Can you show me multiple threads where a thread that literally copies the title and the body exist in multiple iterations?

People can post about Classic in the Classic subforum, however, because Classic WoW is also a discussion related directly to World of Warcraft it’s not in the wrong forum. At this point I’ve seen so many Classic threads in GD die without being moved by the moderators.

[Shadows-nazjatar]

I only started playing WoW during early Wrath, so I didn’t get the real Vanilla experience, but there were enough things that were familiar even with a Wrath Baby Cow like me that are no longer present, like weapon skills and such.

Same. It’s impossible for me to be nostalgic about Vanilla when I didn’t play back then. Even during Wrath I remember people talking about how great it had been. I can’t wait to try out Classic and see for myself. I’ll be like the Noob in Nixxiom’s videos, but that’s ok.

Yet here you are, subscribed to it…

[Tarquinius-dalaran (Tarquinius)]

Of course you didn’t claim it be an objective fact.

Very rarely when people make a normative claim, people state “I believe it is true” or affirm the truth of a statement directly.

But you imply it to be true. It’s common sense.

[Akston-bloodhoof (Akston)]

Good point. I shouldn’t show the Classic Defenders to by hypocrites. It might make their “community” look bad. And I know how important that is.

Can you show me multiple threads where a thread that literally copies the title and the body exist in multiple iterations?

Can I show you multiple threads that talk about classic streamers? and that talk about Classic being a real RPG? Or talks down on the anti classic crowd?

You bet I can.

You are right. The Classic posters can totally continue to show how poor their community is by ignoring basic forum etiquette.

Do you get like this when your friends say “chocolate ice cream is bad” and then don’t follow it up with “in my opinion?”

Actually it does.

Creating Duplicate Threads

This category includes:

• Creating threads about existing topics
• Creating a separate thread about an existing topic for further discussion in more than one forum

If a player is found to have participated in such actions, he/she will:

• Be given a temporary ban from the forums, depending upon severity

The World of Warcraft forums are for discussion of topics directly related to World of Warcraft.

This is a discussion directly related to World of Warcraft.

Sorry, but Blizzard created a separate forum specifically for Classic discussions, which makes this…the wrong forum to post classic topics. That is why they get moved.

You disagreeing with an opinion isn’t trolling.

“Is the anti-classic crowd going to eat their words once again just like the wall of no?? lol”

Isn’t an opinion. It is a statement made to take a dig at people.

[Nutts-kirin-tor (Nutts)]

Nope… it is not safe to say that yet… not even close to safe to say that yet…

[Tarquinius-dalaran (Tarquinius)]

Good point. I shouldn’t show the Classic Defenders to by hypocrites. It might make their “community” look bad. And I know how important that is.

If you insist on pivoting the argument then sure. Go ahead, it won’t help prove your argument either way because it’s a fallacy.

Can I show you multiple threads that talk about classic streamers? and that talk about Classic being a real RPG? Or talks down on the anti classic crowd?

You bet I can.

But you can’t prove your own claim that this thread is spam because the definition of spam used by people who’re anti-classic is loose and is logically inconsistent.

You are right. The Classic posters can totally continue to show how poor their community is by ignoring basic forum etiquette.

How’re they violating forum etiquette if they’re literally abiding by what a blue said in the welcome post?

I am not pivoting an argument. I am just pointing out, with amusement, the hypocrisy.

But you can’t prove your own claim that this thread is spam because the definition of spam used by people who’re anti-classic is loose and is logically inconsistent.

omegalul

…what?

Is it a topic created on something we already have? Multiples of?

Yes?

Ok. its spam.

How’re they violating forum etiquette if they’re literally abiding by what a blue said in the welcome post?

I find it amusing when you want to follow the lead of a moderator…and when you don’t. It has a direct connection to “does this benefit me”.

Wait. I guess that isn’t amusing. Just generic.
