Except blizzard has said repeatedly stated the goal was authentic and your list deviates from that heavily.
Thanks. Should be ending soon.
You think some of the things I want do deviate from what they want, I disagree. Since we havenât heard from blizzard on a number of these issues all we can do is continue to make our cases for or against whatever and see what happens.
They have said since day 1 an authentic experience. They have repeatedly shotdown stuff like, flying, transmog, linked rewards, LFD and LFR.
What is authentic about post vanilla balance?
What is authentic about dual spec?
Why do you honestly think itâs even right to ask to add those things to vanilla in the first place ?
Was it advertised as a remaster? As a remake? No. It was advertised as a re release.

Well they have said they are open to non core game play changes which I fully understand means they wonât be adding flying or changing balance(keeping people informed about how bad balance was in some cases is not the same as asking for changes.)
On the other hand? Dual spec, well changing specs was already in the game, dual spec is just a more user friendly way to do it.
Except it does change part or the game. The economy.

If even 300 people per server have it and only use it twice a week that is an extra 30,000 gold nor being removed from the economy per week.
120,000 gold per month. 1,560,000 gold per year.
Now your typical raider raided more then once a week. Then here PvPers.

Which seems like a lot until you think about just how many more people are not double respeccing every week and that those who are can make more than 100 gold per week. At that point the amount of gold taken out of the system is both minuscule and not evenly distributed around the player base anyways.
The people that choose to min/max for every little thing they do are going to reallocate their talent points to do so whether they play a âhybridâ or a âpureâ.
Those who choose not to pay the cost to min/max for every little thing they do are going to find a talent point allocation that allows them to do the things they choose to do whether they play âhybridâ or a âpureâ.
Letâs be honest. This is not about hybrids.
This is all about allowing those who CHOOSE to min/max for every little thing to do so without having to pay the costs to do so.
No, if Johnny wants to min/max for every little thing, then he can pay the costs to do soâincluding, but not limited to, the gold cost and the travel/time cost.
Doesnât matter, the point is that overall respecs donât take very much gold out of the economy.
But yes as you pointed out it is also a gold sink that primarily targets healers and tanks who have a bigger incentive to respec frequently as they are less likely to be able to do everything in one spec. Which for the purposes of the economy also makes it an ineffective gold sink.
Funny because literally everyone asking for dual spec disagrees with you. One of the very first reasons they list is be cause it saves them gold.

Dual Spec didnât even exist until WotLK. Why are you guys talking about it in here? lol

I never said it wouldnât benefit specific individuals, I said it doesnât really matter in the grand scheme of server economy.
But it does. Because if people are saving enough gold to value paying for dual spec, clearly itâs substantial. This means that lots of gold isnât being removed from the eco. The numbers above were huge and that assumes only 300 people and only 1 respec a week. Imagine when half the server has it and they would normally respec 6 times a week?
Because some of the pro changers want it and they swear up and down it doesnât change the game.

I know this is hard to understand but a handful of people on a server(which hundreds is) using respecs frequently enough to be at the max gold cost and still doing it is insignificant compared to the thousands of people not doing it.
Case in point: Dual Spec is a WotLK addition. Itâs not even in the discussion for Classic, just like with Achievements and the LFG tool.

Switching specs existed in vanilla.
As for the LFG tool, itâs a tool for forming groups, itâs just a better tool than chat channels.
Then those people donât be buying it will they. Even if only 10% use it, itâs still a huge impact. As shown by the math.

No your math shows that itâs a pathetically small amount of the total gold being poured into the economy. And while it might matter to the small percent of people consistently trying to respec it has little impact on the overall economy.
