Yes, this seems to be the only argument. “I don’t have enough gold.”
There’s no real benefit to dual spec. But the drawbacks include being required to maintain multiple specs and sets with gems and enchants for some people who don’t want to do that.
During original TBC, and indeed even still now, a lot of people refer to their character by specialization, not class, e.g. “I play a prot warrior.”
Currently it is only 100g (max) to change spec and back. What precisely is it about Dual Spec that you personally want?
So, because its useful to people, you dont want it to be in the game.
Got it.
Theres literally probably a hundred changes from tbc to tbcc at this point. I doubt you actually want the “authentic” tbc experience, with all the massive lag and server instability issues with it.
This isnt the old tbc, and to be honest its better for it. You might not think so, but a good majority of people and blizzard seems to think so.
Agreed. And if you read my post, you hopefully know that I didn’t suggest that it does function as a gold sink, but dismiss the argument that it was intended as such, with a claim that it rather functions as a deterrent to respecc’ing.
Which I also claim as a design flaw, though I am corrected by someone linking a blue post from the time that states, “We would like to continue to support the idea that respecs should be very carefully thought out strategic decisions.”
Flexibility of being able to do more than heal without having to be required to spend 100g everytime i want to do something different.
Guess a mage cant understand the concept of having a hard time farmong something.
I also personally think its better for the game as the flexibility it offers leads to people trying new things (ie tanking and healing) or being able to enjoy things they want more.
I get ut as a class that can neverendingly farm without ever having to swap anything the idea is likely a foreign concept to you, but gold -IS- a major factor whether you want to admit it or not. Not everyones sitting on thousands of gold and already have their epic flight
The additional flexibility either in roles, game types, or what not is a bonus, and dual spec only gives you two speccs , which you still have to pay to respecc if you want to change one.
And the aguenent against is still “it wasnt in bc” which is a completely pointless aguement at this point, it was a completely pointless argument from the beginning as this has -never- been original bc. And never will be
So again, the issue you personally have is the cost of respecc’ing acting as a deterrent? I suppose that the whole point I made in the thread I linked to you is that if that is the problem you claim Dual Spec solves, you may be missing that it only solves that problem for some classes, while other classes will still have to respec as often or almost as often, particularly if they are now required to maintain two specs for raiding, and still want to PVP.
I mean, you can apply that reasoning to anything. This isn’t Original TBC, so give us 32 slot bags, so I can have more space, because I want it, etc.
But you do have a point that there are changes that have affected the integrity of TBC Classic, imo. So, I also wouldn’t be surprised if they added dual spec, just disappointed, as there are better solutions that are also easier to implement.
It’s part of the changes that lead to the decline in population. It certainly wasn’t in line with the design decisions implemented during original TBC.
It did not lead to the decline of the population. It was introduced in wrath, the expansion that had -THE UNDISPUTED HIGHEST SUB COUNT- that wow has ever had.
The fact you think it somehow was attatched to sub loss is ridiculous.
same. I actually remember respeccing quite often back in vanilla WoW. never once complained about it, I guess my younger self respected the mechanics of the game more than players today. everybody is just so damn entitled. in many ways, we don’t deserve classic wow. we deserve the slop that is retail.
