I disagree that it “destroyed class identity” it is shakeing things up and amplifying and changeing class identity. Destroying them would mean there is nothing left.
Warrior class fantasy is being big and beefy chargeing in with plate armor smashing things with your might and a big 2 handed sword or going in with sword and board. That hasnt changed and no one else is doing that even in classic plus. (Paladins do not have a charge and use their holy powers)
All i am seeing is it adding more class fantasy
I cam now be a hunter who plays more like a sentienal or ranger from lore, i dont need a pet i have to micro manage.
I agree with you that my choice of wording is poor.
Some post was saying it increases class homogeneity which I think is a good way to describe it.
But also I think there is a slight element of at least cracking classes, because the new runes add powerful spells - which I think will make it so classes are never using the fun, odd, weak, spells that many have since it is unlikely there will be any empty GCDs to do so.
Like totem twisting, or twisting seal of justice for the stun, downranking, etc. all seem likely to take a negative hit in favor of abilities that are clearly defined and much more powerful.
These more obscure spells are an important factor in separating great players from just decent ones. They are a decent part of what make the skill cap high in vanilla.

I’m not. Classic is awful. I don’t have to bruise my knees for a museum piece game to post in this forum.
I can agree to most of that, though again i feel the entire purpose of SoD is to test what the community in general (because we wont ever fully agree)
On what we want classic plus to be. I doubt SoD is a one shot campaign. And from the hints they dropped at blizzcon they want to do classic plus.
But to see what the community wants they have to do SoD, and be completely crazy with it, they need to see if adding a bunch of abilities actually does make the game less fun.
Rather than see a few opinions on the forums and making an entire game of it they are making a temporary server to test all these ideas as a community and see whats good what falls flat or if we want even more
It’s a recent hotfix and they are reportedly still monitoring for both Era and Hardcore.

You mean that sometimes I play that other WoW game too? Shame on me! Spank me now!!
I mean I think I have 3 level 60’s now on Era and an 80 on Wrath, but yeah, I only play retail or something.
Okay, I love having to remind people of this but many people play both.
When I want to play classic, I go and play classic! SoD isnt taking that away from me, you, or anyone.
The hate of people that enjoy things that you dont is really weird my guy.
“he has the worst” right because your single digit loser IQ can make up better ones huh? Gtfo loser
you’re basically getting that with the buffs being put onto other classes anyway 
Of which I think is already a bad thing and leading to insane amount of power creep.
what this guy smoking? SoD isn’t even out yet and he’s already crying
