Then it isn’t Vanilla. Works on p-servers.
Just another thing Acti-Blizzard got wrong.

Why do we need the Vanilla API again?? Are we sending out invites to bot makers and cheats?
There is a reason why Blizz avoided the Vanilla API; because it’s prone to exploitative behavior.

I can literally google you a list of bot programs that work in current retail. What exactly is your point.
My point is this is supposed to be a vanilla server… and it’s failing at it.

Won’t be incorrect after Classic comes out and they can just copy the correct values.
It’ll also be on the 1.12 client, without sharding, without battlenet, without right-click reporting and automated punishments, without the modern API, and so on. /shrug

You seem to be assuming their values are even correct.
Different dev team and all we have is their word that “it’s right guys, we promise.”

I don’t need to prove you wrong. It’s guaranteed private servers do not have the right data so that automatically throws your original complaint of vanilla authenticity out of the window. Layering was not in vanilla, but neither was any fight with any mob you have on a private server because it’s complete estimates on numbers. And I’ll repeat what I already said: an original Dev can recreate the game better than a private server. What is your argument against that?
You seem kinda upset that you cannot just drag and drop your list of addons into Classic and expect them to work.
Perhaps it’s time you adapt and or write your own addons?
It’s not the same devs dude.
All you are saying is “I have zero evidence to support my argument, but yours is wrong.”
UI changes?
Sharding?
Addon changes?
Wrong AV version?

Then what does it matter if private servers are also incorrect? You just destroyed your own argument.

Omar Gonzalez worked on Vanilla wow and he’s one of the head devs on the project…you’re just making up stuff now.
No I’m saying they are trying to SELL me “Classic” while changing a ton of things ot make it non-vanilla like.
I can get something closer to the real thing for free.

Yeh him and about what? 100 other people?
How many exact vanilla numbers do you remember after 15 years?
About as many as he does most likely.

Except that the private servers are wrong regarding their data, scripting, and numerous other GAME features.
The difference in Classic WoW Vs vanilla is the quality of the client and its hardware support and the API used that helps prevent all the truly EZ mode cheating that’s possible in the 1.12 client, not to mention the truly EZ mode hacking that’s possible in the 1.12 client.
I would rather play with a lot less cheaters and hackers on Classic WoW than a bunch of cheats, hacks, and corrupt GM’s on the private servers.
Thanks.
Lmao, mergers. Because putting thousands of randos together months after launch is a great idea. Video you linked is from the beta, and it’s honestly a pretty straight forward fix: spawn timers and locations are different on separate layers.
He does not need to remember the ORIGINAL data and scripting because he has the ORIGINAL data and scripting to work with so that Classic wow is 100% the mirror of the original Vanilla.

Again you seem to be just saying p-servers got it wrong…
With zero evidence Acti-blizzard got it right.
Also you are fooling yourself with the anti-hacking thing. Log into retail any day of the week and see a bunch of flying gold spam bots, and teleporting level 1’s.

He remembers them better than some rando basement dweller running a pserver, that’s for sure. Not to mention THEY HAVE THE ORIGINAL SERVER DATA whether you believe it or not. The fact that they have original art textures on the new client is proof that they have data going back that far. There’s your proof.

Show me proof that they have the original data.
Have you seen this data?
I don’t know if you know this or not, but you don’t have any proof of anything you’re claiming either.

Because they are wrong, in more ways than you can count.
They have the literal data to copy and paste from, you can’t get any more accurate than that.
At least they get banned quickly unlike on private servers where they can buy their way out of a ban so that they can continue polluting the game.
