and there is no use trying to debate their points either. They have made their minds up clearly and are just here to be salty to those who are enjoying themselves.
You are seriously overplaying the importance of layering for the majority of people playing the game. The forums are a small population, and one that always complains about something. It’s not an indication that it’s a huge problem widespread for everyone.
Blizzard has talked about this at length, that Hunters were the hardest to recreate. Most classes are as they were. Hunters being an issue is something that can and will be resolved.
1.12 feels fine. Most people are playing because they want to play the game they love, not because they care about a meta. Metas are not important for a lot of players.
Everything has hype. It doesn’t mean the game is dead once that hype goes away.
You seem to be basing Classic’s inevitable failure by what the forums are saying. Let me tell you this:
The forums are not the majority population playing Classic. Most people playing Classic don’t have a problem with it. That’s why they’re playing it, and not complaining about it on the forums.

Unfortunately we aren’t privy to the actual sub numbers, so this will all just be speculation.
Classic is supposed to recreate the vanilla experience. Nothing I have read led me to believe that this was a relaunch of WoW. There is a definite end to the content in Classic, by design.

*raises hand* I was one. I’ve been specifically avoiding wow classic news just so I could go in without any preconceptions and I didn’t even know they existed until everyone started complaining about them.

I didn’t know they existed until I came to the forums.
I actually thought the forums would be full of excitement and thanks after the release, but it’s full of so many complaints. I’m disappointed, but I guess I should have expected it considering how many years I’ve frequented the forums.

I’ll be honest, I’m really excited for the hype to die down. Then all the people who aren’t into it/don’t love it/want to complain non-stop, can go away. That is when the actual subscribers who are there for Classic can settle into their groove on their servers and play in peace, building our communities, and killing endless amounts of boars =)

Well… I for one will be resubbing.
It’s what I came back to WoW for. Classic. Outside of 1 tier in Legion and an equally short time in Pandaland… I haven’t played WoW seriously since Wrath.
It’s good to be back. Enjoying the game a lot. I had a lot of fun in vanilla… grinding included.

Anyone who’s interested in experiencing Classic, now is the best time to do it. The longer the game is around, the more the population in the lower-level areas will thin. This is the time to play if you’re ever going to do it. Just saying …

It is because the exploits are rampant and the “cheat early cheat often” seems to be the motto.
Planning to wait until they fix the layer exploitation and hopefully create a new non transfer server. If not, no big deal. I quit 10 years ago, can easily quit again
I think (hope) there will be a wave of players leveling alts when BGs are released, mainly twinks. But still going to be fun.
Oh I’m sure there will be. I’m not trying to imply there will be nobody in the lower levels, but right now it’s extra packed. There’s so many people … the world feels so alive right now!

Classic doesn’t have subs. So if people are unsubbing, they are unsubbing fron retail.

Feign death takes several seconds to drop combat, making it useless in PvP. It was crucial to the hunters kit and has essentially just not been included in this version of the game. This alone makes hunter a class you should absolutely not consider playing on a PvP server.
Besides that there’s issues with pet AI and autoshoot animation being broken, and maybe some other stuff. Everything except FD is minor though.
What is this ‘future’ people keep going on about? I’d really like to know, because as far as I’m concerned, it has no future, and by that I mean it’s supposed to stay the same.
If what you’re trying to say is, “will the game be shut down?”, uh, no? Not anytime soon? Like, probably not even after a decade or more? At least, I seriously don’t think so.
I think classic will be doing just fine, staying as it is, as it should be, for a very long time now. What this ‘future’ you all keep mentioning is supposed to be, I do not know, nor can I fathom. Classic isn’t supposed to ‘have a future’ its supposed to remain untouched and the same.
The only ‘future’ I can foresee is this one: “Will TBC and WotLK servers be released?” “Will we be able to clone our characters from classic and move them over to these realms?” “Will they mess up the entire point of classic by simply introducing the expansions to the realms eventually?” These, you see, are the questions that need to be asked.

Feign Death takes about 0.5 seconds to function. Yes, this breaks freeze trap macros. But I keep seeing this time frame be exaggerated further and further. Lets be real, okay? Next people will be claiming it doesn’t work at all, or that it takes half a minute to register. It takes about 0.5 seconds to work.

I’m sorry OP, I just have to focus in on this but… layers. Would you rather just… not have servers to play on? Because that’s what would’ve happened when these servers launched without layers. This is NOT 2004. Classic was a massively popular and hugely anticipated launch, far moreso than it was for Vanilla. Those Vanilla servers melted, and even with all the advances in technology since then so would these. You just can’t have that many people in the same exact place for weeks on end. Did you see how many people were in the starting zones at launch? A few servers even with layering had massive, gamebreaking issues. It was, and is, a necessary evil until Phase 2.
