SoD is not classic, thats why we need fresh

I’m pretty sure they just hate SoM because it eliminated some of the more egregious crap of Vanilla and made the bosses actually a challenge instead of just a throughput check, at least from what I understand. I didn’t play much of SoM… don’t know if I could be paid to play Vanilla again after SoD

I was there and made a real list of the issues with SoM.

People who weren’t there like to make things up to fit whatever they want to think.

Also if a person did not play Classic 2019 and never would have played a fresh anyway (not you because I don’t know what you played, but the other guy) it is highly arrogant to pretend to be the voice of those who would like it. A person who never wanted that does not fit the demographic of a person who would want a fresh Era, and does not even fit the demographic who Classic 2019 was for, and should not for even one second think that they can speak for those players. Everyone is different and that’s a good thing.

For those people who do not know and want to learn instead of just making their own reasons up here are some issues that SoM had/has:

• Released too close to the end of “Vanilla” Classic
• Too many servers at launch
• PVP system put out right at launch - and that PVP gear being the very best for raiding which caused people do “no life”
• The PVP drama was quite intense, I find that this makes the game more fun/memorable but it turned some people off.
• Suspensions for bad chat/language of 8 days from people who were PVP ranking which with the way that works costs even more time
• Difficulty gold farming due to nerfs of common gold farms (like we are seeing today)
• Lots of consume grinding or needing to buy due to the buffs to the boss health/changes of raid encounters making them longer, often needing 12 healers with mana pots on cooldown and resistance pots not needed in the original.
• Gold buying due to the above issues mentioned and then a large 14-day suspension wave making it so that groups could not raid for awhile because so many raiders were missing.
