In the long run #Nochanges is correct but not for the reasons you think. As the game stands changes are a necessity this isn’t the same blizzard. Blizz 2004-2010 didn’t put out any new games, for at least 4 years 2004-2008 the whole of their resources were devoted to wow. GM’s were everywhere and they banned people all the time. The premade problem we have now didn’t exist becasue people got banned and they got banned fast. Blizz made wow their baby, and sole focus up until cata.
Vanilla had the same vulnerability to exploits and toxic players, just that they punished abusers before people could become victims. Now blizz doesn’t give a flying F and this is what we get Wow Reforged. We need #nochanges but not the coding, but who manages it.

Uh… the people who worked on classic don’t work there anymore. yes they don’t care! I see is this all going down hill with retail and classic and at this point a lot are still quitting and I’m glad they are you shouldn’t give money to a company who clearly can’t nail a simple remaster. it’s sad to see what the forums become and people can’t come together to figure a solutions there is a lot of problems and it’s all going to lead to everyone quitting.
It’s not that the same people don’t work there, vanilla WoW wasn’t just another revenue stream, they wanted it to be the best it can be. Blizz pre multi billion dollar growth wanted to make the best games of all time, and that was it.
Wait. What?
They were also spread out way more due to the 8-12 million player count. Some of this was not as widely know either until after the fact.
Hence why we have so many try hards. Armed with pre existing knowledge trying to “achieve” what they couldn’t in Vanilla with? You guessed it. The path of least resistance.
I do agree. Blizz should be actively banning bots but I don’t see it happening. Retail still has never recovered from the last ban waves in WOD.
Botting amd exploits are that widespread. Blizz would lose money.
Blizz now see’s loosing money in the immediate as bad, Old BLizz would ban them knowing if the healthier the game the more subs it would retain, and more new or returning subs would follow. If the game was healthy, friendly, and honestly not about log in metrics WoW would have more players than now 100%.
Bot’s aren’t the issue it’s player activities, you would get suspened if you afk farmed honor, charged for in game services, or did a 40 man premade.
