I don’t know about adding new content with the company how it is right now…but i would at least like them to make a video show casing all the unfinished content, like Azhara crater, old hellfire, emerald dream, and what their plans were for classes that got scrapped for vanilla like necromancer’s, death knights and the like, as well as the kharazhan crypts. Alot of stuff there we know little about.
The gear you acquired in Classic would be irrelevant in TBC. No matter which way you look at it, it was “all for nothing” minus the time leveling to 60.
I’d rather TBC+ or WoTLK+. Both are better more complete versions of WoW to branch off of.
New BGs
Keep Rank14 Grind
AND Arenas With Ranking
No Resilience but replace it with a little more stam
Not if the ONLY part of TBC was the content, no leveling to 70 and gear downgrades to level 60, Kara being MC/ZG level SSC being BWL, Sunwell being Nax level
Once the timeline is up I’d be perfectly fine with Special GM events that pop up here and there. Something that doesn’t affect the balance or overall feel of classic, but brings some new fun things to do every once in a while ie demon Invasion, undead army attacking duskwood, lepergnomes in the tram, a haul of lost treasure washed up on a beach and must be fought over by ally and horde etc.

That sounds good as long as we also agree that Arena Gear is not better than BG gear. (I will not mind equivalent with different looks and names)
Even in ancient Rome Gladiators did not have better gear than Legionaries, Centurions etc.
RANK Gear from Battlegrounds re like Military Grade Gear for the world of Azeroth. Arenas and Gladiators are Professional Entertainers…not the same thing.

I love how you list a few minor negatives but totally gloss over the positives from TBC.
Amazing class and pvp balance
All specs viable in raid
Harder content
Better raids (and more)
Heroic Dungeons
Better Talent trees (and expanded)

No, because no one can agree on what the “+” part should be.
And in doing so, you’ll be creating an alternate version of WoW.
People will hate one or both of those things, and Classic will begin to tank as a result.

Classic WoW as is should alway exist(once blizzard stops being lame and time gating content), nothing new should be forced on people.
If there is a classic+ as opposed to BC servers either one should be on new servers that leave current servers intact. Just let people copy over to either BC and/or classic+ if they want.

You didn’t fully read or understand what I wrote.
It doesn’t matter where they put it, new server or add onto the current: No one can agree what should be in and what should be out, and it will take the existing story in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION which is nothing any game company wants for it’s FLAGSHIP PRODUCT.
This is what I want, but tuned down to level 60. Blizz has stated in the past that the worst thing they did was forced character progression. You can add content without adding levels that absolutely invalidate all past content.
The issue will be trying to glue the two together.
I would be OK with making all the raid content in Vanilla level 70 with a click of the “Heroic” Button. But that means upping the gear to level 70. Then WoLK can be added with no changes to the talent tree. Just make DKs level up from 1.

Some people enjoy 60-70 though, you get to immerse yourself in the world of Outland, you get world pvp opportunities. You get access to new abilities and talents as you level. It’s fun for many.
Hmm… plenty of companies offer alternate reality version of their story.
That does not negate the fact that it was a mistake. You can still play through the outlands and gain access to new abilities just without the forced leveling.
And how do you handle the expanded talent trees? Those 10 points really help with build flexibility among hybrid classes.
I get that your gear and progressing being obsoleted every expansion doesn’t feel good. But even classic is guilty of this. Each raid offers higher ilevel items and gear inflation will keep going up until end of classic’s lifespan. How do you purpose to fix this issue? In reality, leveling is no different.
Among the development time/costs, tuning etc, who is to decide what is added? WoW Community cannot even have a civil discussion on the barbershop, let alone future content.
Most people, as in the majority who don’t use these forums, would be perfectly happy with BC.

That is something I fully admit I have no answer for. Options would include double talent points starting around level 50 or just getting all of them at 60. I would say that it should be a change that everyone is ‘forced’ into so that the players are all on the same talent point system. Even the ones who do not want to pay for the content. That being said having tier sets that are viable for all specs would be welcome and should only be available in Classic+ Content.
The costs of this are very low. Since they already do it through Timewalking. They have the technology. They just have to use it. PTR 20/40 man Post Vanilla Content and tune accordingly. Not that much in the way of cost involved.

Look, your ideas for classic+ are not bad, but unfortunately your one of a million different voices on what c+ should be. We know what TBC is going to be, and we like the majority of it. I don’t trust Blizzard or even the #nochanges crowd to not fudge up c+.
