Could ruin a version of a game that was already released and successful years ago. Either their incompetence knows no bounds or this is intentional.
How in the world do you expect people to believe Shadowlands will be a good expansion, when you can’t even release an older version of your game without failing horribly in multiple aspects? Why would you so blatantly ignore the fans of your flagship I.P.?
Just another once great company that fell prey to the demands of stockholders and lost sight of what made them great in the first place, making great games for gamers.

Despite having the same name, I don’t think the company that created vanilla and early wow is the same that develops current retail
I think our classic experience is a whole different company just trying to emulate vanilla by modifying the retail game engine and that’s why this classic experience has been so… interesting

I mean…we knew what we were getting. Blizzard said what we were getting when they announced classic wow. And it’s what MOST players wanted. But here’s the thing, EVERYONE wnts there OWN version of classic, some want original release, some want a progressive patch system where classes changed, some wanted 1.12, so on and so fourth.
Just going to say that’s just plan ignorance on your part.

Classic is basically a money-printing machine for Blizzard requiring very little development time. Unbelievable how much they screwed this up. But can you really be surprised when you look at the current game “you think you do blah blah” mentality.

They didn’t screw up though. The community screwed up. The only people to blame are those that no life classic on pservers.

Your problem isnt with Blizzard…Your issue is with the player base and how they are reacting to the game that was given to them.
People are complaining about Spell cleave meta’s - this was viable in 2005 and is just more viable today with the advent of youtube and twitch…
People are complaining about Molten Core being “too easy” - We ran that instance with a bunch of acne faced 15 year olds who never played a mmo like this before in 2005 and somehow were able to progress through that content without any real speed bumps. ( The hardest part is getting enough quints to even spawn domo)
People are complaining that the factions are unbalanced and the world is being over run with pvp groups…Realms were unbalanced back in 2005 but we had WAAAAAY less information about every specific realm and didnt have websites like ironfore.pro to give us those details…
People are complaining about battleground metas today…People were compaling about GY campers in wsg, severe turtles in av, and crazy unfair premade groups back in 2006.
LITERALLY NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE GAME (besides minor or maybe in your opinion major patches updating mobs) The player base has changed and evolved dramatically as gaming has evolved and players are going to play the 15 year old game with a 2019 mentality…Stop blaming blizzard for the actions of these players

They don’t listen to the fanbase though, so how is the community at fault? Whatever the community wants, Blizzard does the complete opposite, because they think they know better.
Blizzard is so out of touch with what gamers want, it’s not even funny, hence the failure that is BFA now.

You complain now but if Blizzard took the 1.12 version with the original infrastructure and propped it up for us to play, as it was when it was shut down.
The forum crying would be beyond epic.

The dont listen to the fan base? Then why are battlegrounds already out and bwl and darkmoone faire arent released yet? It’s phase 3 already right? O wait…they listened to the community complain about wPvP gank fests and released content earlier. Oh they did the same thing with dire maul you say after all the no lifers hit 60 too fast and ran out of content? Oh but blizzard never pays attention to the fan base…Because literally every decision blizzard makes is a slap in the face to its customers and fan base…or…maybe people are just trying to complain about anything…and every time blizzard does anything, people will complain. Every time blizzard does nothing, people will complain. And every time the playerbase creates a problem in the eyes of the community, its blizzards fault for allowing that type of action to occur in their “sandbox” (lets have that debate a diff time) game.

Saddly, they don’t have to care at all, players will still buy their products and take subs…

People are free to relive their AV glory days. They choose to zerg. The players ruined the game.

This is a dumbed down version of vanilla that caters to the lowest common denominator. Blizzard knew people wanted something more challenging, but instead gave us a dumbed down version of vanilla that is more in line with the current retail version.
Blizzard knew people wanted an AV that could take hours, even days to win. Blizzard knew people wanted raids that were difficult to complete and get gear from. They knew all of this and ignored the fanbase.

When you played on a private server was it hard? Because there were serves out there running the patch clients you are asking for…and it wasnt a hard game either. Classic was never going to be dark souls hard…It will always be a themepark mmorpg with elements of difficulty woven in for the hardcore players.

Lol… the fact that you are posting this in the Classic Forums makes it funny.

Never played on a pserver, but find it funny that people say they are better than what Blizzard released. We have a server shutdown right now, because of Blizzards incompetence, absolute clown show.
Non specific ramblings are not helpful. I think Classic is great how it is and I am having a blast playing it.

When the playerbase changes, the game needs to accommodate to give the same experience.
