Thank you for re-clarifying this. There has been a lot of people on here stating that things like tokens and xmog will creep in because money… They will probably still ignore what you said here anyway though.
While I haven’t thought that tokens or transmog would be in the game, the truth is that sharding and loot trading have already been added, as you so eloquently stated, because money.
This is why some of us are waiting for more details. All of the passion in the world that players have means nothing in the face of orders from on high.
Lets be real here. Nothing Ythisens said, removes doubts that any of that stuff will not be in Classic.

Why are these things because of money exactly? I think you are misinformed here.
I mean there shouldn’t be anything that needs to be said to remove doubts as there shouldn’t be anything to suggest that these things will even have a chance to get into classic.
I hope the team is being mindful of shifting technological trends. For example, mobile devices have really taken off since WoW’s original launch. Everyone has a smart phone or tablet. Mobile tech has made huge gains over the last decade, and the devices are very powerful, and even capable of generating 4k graphics.
It might be wise to consider developing Classic WoW for mobile devices, or else you might miss out on a large market share. It would be a disaster if you spent all this time and money developing the game for a platform (desktop PCs) that very few people will still be using by the Summer of 2019.
So you’re just going to ignore when Blizzard a couple days ago talked about laying off hundreds of employees? How do you think they will increase their revenue when right now very little is being developed? It is my opinion they will try to milk their golden cow which is WoW and OW right now. To me it’s not that hard to understand.
Yeah if they released that news people would be up in arms. Also the experience of WoW on mobile in my mind would be a disaster. The game is way to fast to play on mobile and people would notice those playing on mobile by their action frames and most likely would be kicked. It would be an all around terrible experience.

Wow classic mobile with facebook integration every time you join a group!
They already have Twitter integration in modern WoW, so I don’t imagine adding Facebook, or other social media platforms, would be overly-difficult. It could really strengthen the community, while also helping to market the game.
You have no clue what you are talking about. Read the articles that actually talked about the layoffs and you would understand that this has nothing to do with classic.
I am not going to have a conversation about a topic with someone who literally knows nothing about that topic.
Did I say it did? I know majority of the layoffs are going to effect destiny and not the dev team of Classic. However though Blizzard still needs to make money. Where is that money going to come from?

Again, read the articles. It explained it pretty well. They are cutting costs in order to produce more titles. So once again, get informed first then discuss.
The article I read said that, in addition to the layoffs, Activision was going to re-org the business in effort to centralize teams, and to place a higher focus on boosting profit.
Pure speculation here…but centralizing teams usually means leaning them out and moving them closer to the central organization, where there is better alignment with the central organization’s objectives.
Next, they explicitly state that their primary objective with the re-org is to boost profits.
Because I think Blizzard is a bigger proponent of Classic than Activision is, and because I have concerns on how Classic will be able to be profitable enough, while being #nochanges, I worry that Activizion’s new focus could mean that the project gets altered, or potentially nixed.

Quote what part of the article you are referring to.
lol yeah I read they want to produce more titles, but where are those new titles? Jesus do you just eat everything they tell you? I mean honestly, Blizzard hasn’t made a new IP since OW and everything else they’re making has been remasters. SC BW was a flash in the pan do you think WC3 RF is going to be any different?
I think the other person is referring to:
“Bloomberg said the layoffs could number in the hundreds and were intended to centralize functions and boost profits.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if they pivoted to make Classic WoW mobile-only, like what they’re doing for Diablo. It would be very smart, from a business perspective, and it’s where the gaming market is headed anyway.
I’m sorry you are just too ignorant to talk to I can’t anymore. “Where are the titles?” lol they are in the process of saving money IN ORDER to produce more titles. They aren’t made over night you genius. Come back after you have your 8th grade graduation.

Destiny was made by Bungie, which split with Activision last month.

Lol dude kepe drinking the Kool-aid. So they hope to make profits now by developing games that are currently not even at the start of development? You do understand this company has been in a free fall for months? But yeah laying off hundreds of employees in order to develop games years away from making an impact are the 100% reason.
It’s not like they’re laying off people because Bungie is pulling out thus all those Acti-Blizzard employees that were tied to Density are no longer needed.
But yeah man keep drinking the Kool-Aid.
