I know when Classic was being released 2019 there was a small discussion on skeleton corpses being like how it was in vanilla were you could have a near unlimited amount of skeletons around that would last for a few hours and it never happened.
Now it being classic era and a good size population across NA/EU with low/med pop servers, Blizzard would you reconsider bringing back an old past time that made the game different and cool. From experience having played when the game had that you could log in and see an area that had lots of corpses because of a crazy event that occurred or was currently going, or run in areas and because of the amount of bodies/skeletons question whether or not to keep going or turn around, it gave a unique feeling with the game.

This would be cool. But, people use the skeleton corpses to spell words, or advertise gold selling websites, sadly.

Do you really think people spelling out racial slurs is worth the extra skeletons?
I could write a program that detected corpses/skeletons spelling words and I ducking suck at machine learning.
You could literally take a preexisting off-the-shelf or open source point based letter detection model and feed it the coordinates of currently existing skeletons in a zone/sub zone. Those take 2D coords so run it on each of the 3 planes (or even just the horizontal plane). Every 5 minutes or whatever, run the model and if it detects letters within a certain distance of each other (to prevent random single characters getting flagged) despawn the involved corpses. This wouldn’t be perfect (it took me more time to write this than think of it), but it would be better than nothing.
This is not a hard problem these days.
yes absolutely, that would be so extremely rare. I want more skeletons they’re very neat
I actually prefer the skeletons myself. And, I’ve seen a lot of people abusing them way back when.
how do you ignore corpses?
