The greatest issue with that is, one handers didn’t really adjust how you played back then. And the difference between weapons, and subsequently how they impact us, is significantly lessened compared to back then.
Let’s assume for a moment, wrongly, that weapon type back in WoD made a greater difference in playstyle than it actually did. Today, it would not be as noticeable a thing. Love or hate Blizzard, they’ve done a good job normalizing the effect of weapons across the board. Monks actually care about their weapons now, warriors and others don’t live or die by them, etc.
So even assuming, again, wrongly, that the weapon type back in WoD made such a difference, it would no longer be the case. And I doubt Blizzard is going to undue the work they’ve done, unarguably good work, just to make the playstyle’s distinct on the off chance they ever give in to this rapid minority.
It’s all nothing but asinine and inane. Born of ignorance and a desire that cannot quite be expressed or specifically defined, so instead of reason it’s given a substitute of what they wrongly assume to be that desire. People loved the game when they were younger, or in a different time, so it must be that this factor or that factor was different. Surely this or that, x y and zed were the reason’s the game was once so great, and now is in it’s waning years.
I’m a numbers man. Things can, and should, be quantified, logical, accurate, and true. This false emotion, these fake ideals and idealisms, these utterly illogical and flatly foolish wants and desires; it’s all crap. I cannot lie, I’m bloody sick of it. Of people using passion to justify an argument with no foundation. “I care more so I’m right” It’s a disgrace of rationality, an assault on thought itself.
