Im hoping to pay $30 a month for classic $15 is to cheap.
That people left, ninjaed, got carried? That’s not a claim, those things did happen, they are not a new thing at all.

So when you find the returning players are the much larger player source, who are you going to blame for all the population ebbs and flows, trolling and whatnot? ANd if this solution would actually work, then how come all these things have existed since Vanilla?
Two years ago: “Give us retro servers! We don’t care about the cost, we’ll happily pay $30 per month to play it!”
Now: “What? You expect us to pay for old content?”

These post are the biggest waste of time. You say that current players are " already paying" and then in the same paragraph you literally say " they are getting it for free".
NO ONE IS PLAYING FOR FREE. Why cant you people understand this simple concept. 15 dollars is 15 dollars. Also, if you are adult. You should know better. There’s this thing called inflation that happens to money over the coarse of many years, say 15 years maybe?! The fact that wow still costs 15 dollars and has not gone UP over the coarse of 15 years is pretty nice.

Theres a difference between a “money Grab” and a Company just trying to make money. There is no other reason for a company to exist other than to profit. They don’t exist to give you the feelgoodsies.

the point is: unlike before, retail players will be tourists that will come only during content droughts (read the classic forums, they admit this themselves) and then they will drop classic out right. zero commitment to any social ties that they created (raiding etc). and when they come back (weeks/months) later, they will automatically assume that progression will keep them relevant like nothing ever happened. they will expect to, still, progress even when they arent there.
and if/when people (guild etc) does not give them these free hand outs, for doing nothing, they will get desperate and start ninja looting and consuming the gear that they never earned. couple that with serious ninja looters, loot sharing and now- loot roll changes. the result will be a botched community (opposite of retaining what is authentic), mistrust within a person’s own guild, even far less gear than what would originally be the case and what do you have?
exactly.
Creative and innovative companies are passionate about the work they do. You are right there is almost always a money aspect to a company’s activities as well.
As a company becomes less innovative, the first aspect fades and the money aspect dominates.
