Having a rare tracking addon in Classic where it didn’t exist in Vanilla is not reflective of the true old school experience.
I’m aware that the support was there and that addons are optional. I fully expect to use them myself. If a rare tracking addon comes out for Classic, hell I’d probably use that too. But the point is, it’s not true Vanilla. If you’re allowed to accept non-Vanilla things, then so am I.
I look forward to RCR and the inevitable LFG addon.
Your experience will only be compromised if you use an addon in Classic that you didn’t use in Vanilla. Again, that is not something that requires Blizzard intervention. Someone using an addon (that doesn’t violate ToS) won’t adversely affect your gameplay.
On that I agree with you. I expect plenty of non-Vanilla addons to come into the game, like rare tracking, LFG and more. I will probably use them. I don’t think having non-Vanilla features in the game is a bad thing, which is why I support RCR too.
That happened all the time in Vanilla. Why I was never keen on the idea of a “server blacklist”. Plenty of innocent people got hurt by it by those with more power and influence on the server.
Hitting ignore is one of the hardest things a person can do. The only thing harder is having to fill out a ticket if someone actually did something worthy of reporting
“I don’t like this person, so I’ll get all my guildies to flag this person.”
“omg this person said they like wow. Mass flag them.”
RCR is basically what the old downvote was on the forums, but in-game. For every “derr just don’t be incendiary in-game” there’s a person mass RCR’ed because of grudges.
Reddit, the MMORPG. To think that the same people who have been victimized by this terrible design philosophy countless times in their lives on other platforms can’t imagine it happening here.
