Too be fair the daily’s are a great source of income for tanks and healers. They can be done pretty fast and they aren’t that bad.
Blizzard is following the same progression path and release windows. They have not released TBC yet because it’s not time for its release yet.
Also arenas is a very small aspect of TBC.
Basically: “I got mine so fudge everyone else.” Pretty selfish attitude.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find out blizzard is completely oblivious to the fact that people will want TBC and/or worry about things like “splitting the playerbase”. They have shown time and time again to be incredibly short sighted when it comes to what players actually want. Hell we wouldn’t even have classic if we had not beat them over the head with the idea for LITERALLY YEARS. In a logical sense TBC is 100% reasonable…but don’t hold your breath. What more likely is they open “fresh” vanilla servers or “classic +” servers because that requires far less work for their employees which means it costs them far less money, and that my friends is literally all blizzard cares about anymore.
These are all minor reasons why you don’t like it, not a single one of these is a reason why blizzard shouldn’t make the expansion.
They won’t make much money from it. If they do it it will be a passion project.
These aren’t even reasons, they’re just things that bc added that you seem to not like with no reasons given. Flying was done well in bc and improved the game. Blood elves and Draenei are many people’s favorite races. Shattrath was a great city with a really cool atmosphere. If you don’t like that stuff you don’t like it, but it’s purely subjective and listing those features isn’t giving any “reasons” to not do tbc.
As for the obsoletion argument, it gets trotted out every time this conversation happens and it’s always been nonsense. Most of Azeroth is obsolete in classic. Once you hit 60, who gives a care about Westfall or Silverpine? Only a handful of zones matter in classic at endgame, meaning most of the old world is already obsolete. TBC added several new, large, well-designed zones which were much more relevant at endgame than the small portion of the handful of zones that are relevant in classic. Beyond that, in tbc you still went back to Azeroth all the time. Shatt had no auction house, CoT and Kara are on Azeroth, lots of mats from Azeroth are still worth farming well into tbc, and all of that isn’t to mention that you still level 1-58 in Azeroth. There are cons with tbc, but you listed 0 of them.

Why do people keep saying TBC will split the playerbase?
Vanilla will be a ghost town when the MAJORITY move on.
Then they will shut down Vanilla for good except for a few token servers.

I have a feeling that classic servers are going to begin to die a few months after the release of nax and the realization that its not the apex of raiding that people seem to think it is.

As many people have heard by now, Blizzard is sending out surveys regarding opinions about TBC. They primarily concerned implementation of TBC servers/content in relation to classic, and I wanted to use this thread to talk details of TBC, so let’s start talking details. The options they listed in their survey are:
- Continue playing my current Classic character on my existing server as it progresses to the Burning Crusade expansion, with the option to transfer to a Classic server that will never progress past level 60.
- Start a brand new character from level 58 on a new Burning Crusade server.
- Start a brand new character from Level 1 on a new Burning Crusade server.
- Continue playing my current Classic character on my existing server that will never progress past level 60, with the option to transfer to a Burning Crusade server.
Not all of us got the survey, but I think all of us would like our voices on these sorts of things to be heard. That in mind, I’ll start. Personally I think the 58 option is the only outright bad one on this list, as it would prevent people from getting attached to their character and would diminish the investment of people who did level up properly. If I had my choice, I’d go with option 4, but would prefer if new servers were blocked off from transfers for the first month or so, so that people could level up new characters in TBC without being left behind from day 1.
What do you all think?

Option 3 is definitely the worst option closely followed by option 2. They both are nonsensical. People who want to play TBC would largely want to continue their character progression and actually play TBC. Not start over. The small minority that want to level fresh from level 1 can do just that.
In an ideal world I prefer option 1 but I think option 4 is the best scenario for the health of the game given it opens up options for Blizzard to fix the overpopulation mess that a number of servers are seeing. They could create visible soft caps on new servers people go to to try and prevent further overpopulation messes that they’ve enabled. Of course Blizzard could work on fixing the overpopulation issue and still implement 1 but they seem to want us to pay to do that.
I don’t mind TBC as long it doesn’t replace the current classic servers.

I actually wouldn’t mind a complete fresh start for everyone. The classic leveling experience was great together.
Option 4. Its basically the same as 1, however vanilla is where we started. I don’t want the vanilla fans to have to transfer to another server.
If you want to head into TBC, we can transfer over. Leave classic servers the way they are.

ofcourse you don’t, you still have gear to grind, new raids to look forward to, pvp to grind.
game is fun as long as you have objectives.
…they are significant changes to several core aspects of the game…
You are confused about the context of the conversation…involves p servers
nothing to do with classic, yet
I havent seen anything like this, even second hand accounts from others.
Can you show us what you are talking about?
