erm actually my unsubstantiated claim isnât an opinion
I donât care you obtuse weirdo. Making the game worse makes it less appealing to play. If you want loot piñatas for your character select screen trophy case consider playing LFR on retail. Or even just scroll through atlas loot and use the ctrl+click function to dress up your characters. Some of us actually want to play the game.
The hardcore parsebrain guilds are gonna raid no matter how easy it is, blizz had no incentive to offer hard raids in classic.
It 100% is and itâs wrong.
Cataclysm raids are far harder than anniversary raids and more people played cataclysm than anniversary..
More people play Mop then anniversary
Yup, and Blizz knows it.
The thing is, throughout Classic Blizz has tried to appeal to these sweaty, tryhard toxic players. And Classic has gotten less and less popular as the masses are turned off by that behavior.
Anyone who thinks this decision means less people will play is either 1. Clueless or 2. Trolling.
And thatâs a straight up fact.
The only reason this change is even in is because they wanted the least amount of work setting everything to sunwell patch is the easiest thing they can do.
Bro thinks theyâre catering to him
Donât try citing actual data against this guy. Heâs clueless and has no interest in giving an opinion founded in reality. Heâll call his terrible takes âfactsâ even though heâs dead wrong 
Thatâs literally all it is too which is hilarious he thinks theyâre catering to him.
They put it at sunwell patch and everything in the game is in the game.. itâs also why the boosting changes are in the game because those happen during sunwell.
Blizzard isnât catering to anyone theyâre taking the road of least work
Nobody has the actual data except blizzard. And the data says pre nerf raids = less money.
Blizzard is just taking the path of least resistance to be lazy and give us a sub par product, but of course youâll always find blizzard simps in the threads going to bat begging for more slop to be shoveled into their trough.
If they had any respect for themselves or their time they would advocate to have blizzard give us a better product, but they arenât capable of criticizing blizzard.
Opie sounds like a Maldazzar alt.
Lights fuse and backs away.
got bites so 2/10 maybe idk
Itâs hilarious that you think more accessibility = less people will play. And see you in TBC, because we all know even the sweats throwing a fit now will all still play.
By the way, Iâm already anticipating trolls trying to use some comparison to the numbers of 2021 TBC Classic as âproofâ that using post-nerf means less players will be playing. Anniversary has far less players, pre or post nerf. But between the two, itâll have far more using the last patch balance.
We have the data based on the PTR build, itâs set to just before wotlk pre-patch 
Cata and mop had harder raids and far more populated than Anni.
Man we already get that youâre bad at the game and need extreme nerfs to be able to clear the content. You got your point across, you donât need to keep debasing yourself to defend the lazy devs
Donât worry he still wonât play
Heâs just here to troll
Youâre probably right . Zaalg just post your logs if you want us to believe youâre not a troll. Shouldnât be hard!
Doing a real good job diffusing the âstigmaâ that the sweatlords are toxic players.
Canât imagine why Blizz finally realized appealing to those types of players drives off the masses.
Iâm not going to argue the finer points of data inference with a trucker. Blizzard hires actual experts in the field to make these decisions and I trust them way more trust fan collected data.
It isnât fan collected data, itâs literally set to just before wotlk pre-patch, itâs literally why the anti boosting stuff is in the game because thatâs when it was added, it doesnât take any sort of critical thinking to come to this conclusion.
They didnât even mention anti boosting stuff for TBC but itâs there because of the patch they set it to.
I may be a trucker but at least I can clear pre nerf TBC I couldnât imagine being like you guys, playing wow for 20 years and 20 year old content is still far to hard for you
Hilarious to me that itâs always the people commenting with max level characters in classic advocating for tbc to be deployed in its original state, and you get these low level trolls and retail players telling us that they want the slopified version.
They donât even play classic in its current state! Why would blizzard try to appeal to them when anniversary is out and easier than anything in tbc but they still arenât playing??
All I know is 12,600 raid teams went 10/10 pre nerf ssc and tk and Zaalg and the level 10 mage didnât
