What they said and what you’re saying they said are not the same thing. There’s a lot more depth to it than you’re making it out to be. It has a lot to do with the perception of the health of the game when predicated on only a partial picture (subscriptions). In short, you’re making an appeal here that’s predicated on misinformation and missing information.
So your argument is that Classic doesn’t have all these things that Blizzard wants to make money off of and that people who quit and came back to the game to play Classic, because it doesn’t have those things, are going to be lured by Blizzard to retail by changing retail and thus running off the people who like the existing model, even though those people playing Classic left because they didn’t like the model? Your analysis makes absolutely no sense.
By fairly mature do you mean suggesting we change Retail to be like Classic when you can just go play Classic instead of ruining the game for everyone who likes Retail? Because the descriptor you’re looking for there isn’t ‘mature’. It’s arrogant and selfish. And not being able to cope with people pointing that out isn’t my problem.
Again, no thanks to your garbage suggestions. If you want classic gameplay play classic.
