All they need to do is bump up the numbers of mats needed, thats just bumping up a few constants. If you were ambitious you could even have a script that runs through every player’s storage and tallies what mats they have stored, then negate that with increased constants… run it during server maitenance the day before AQ starts…

So just for bandages which stack to 20
Character bags 5x16slots = 1600 bandages
Bank 28 slots - 560 bandages
Bank bags 7x16 slots - 2240 bandages
Total 4400 bandages on one toon with full 16 slot bags on character and in bank.
So 2.3m bandages / 4400 is ~522 toons completely filled to the brim with bandages.

They should completely rework the mechanics of every boss in AQ too. I mean, the experience of original WoW was going in blind, so it will be ruined if we all already know how the raids work.
If stockpiling these mats is what raiding guilds want to do . . . it makes for a new and unique experience. They aren’t going to get much help from us plebs though.
This is far, far more extreme than preserving the timeframe and spirit of a raid’s gatekeeping event. The line isn’t hard to draw - on the good side is reasonable suggestions, on the other side is your miserable hyperbole.
A guild of ~80 people with 6+ alts each could do it.
Seems like a lot of effort though.
It’s not hyperbole at all. I think they should rework all of the zones/quests, dungeons, and raids so we can all go in blind just like we did in 2004. It’s the only way to preserve the spirit of the game!
Please. 
The best and easiest solution is to change the items requiered, so it takes all the Hardcore guilds and the server by surprise, if not i know what to sell on the AH for a higher price

Curious if anyone has this info on event, I couldn’t find any answers googling:
Assuming your in the top guild working towards this, and many of the drops for the quest chain are single drops, how many people in a guild will get the mount? I’m guessing obviously the GM and likely the 2 MTs will get the drops first, how many players after this will realistically finish the chain before the gong is rung and the 10 hr leeway?
it is hyperbole, you are asking for a completty different game, i’m ok if they tweak some dmg or armor values and stuff like that, but changing the whole zones?

I don’t agree with deliberately misleading the player base.
legendary mount and title
He’s not serious about this. You might as well be talking to a bot.
Really though, the goal of Classic isn’t to “preserve the timeframe and spirit”. Because the “spirit” is going to mean different things to different people.
The goal of Classic to recreate the mechanics/world of original WoW as faithfully as possible. That means the Gates of AQ event is probably going to go by quickly, but oh well.

no, the quest are not the problem here, is the server gathering event that is

I mean, Silithus got reworked for AQ.
So they could just give us the OG Silithus until Phase whatever when the AQ event happens.

Holy crap
The amount of materials required to do this would be enormous - not to mention the need to stockpile on both sides.
On a game that’s literally going to be dead in ~2 years, unless they release Classic+ or BC servers.
Sarcastic “woo-hoo”
It’s very possible that a guild will be able to do the 5-hour BWL clear as soon as the gates open. But there’s no way they’re farming chitins in a week
