The #nochanges slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy

Congrats bud, you linked a Wikipedia page that’s using a 2016 article as its “source”.

When you want to abandon principle but don’t know how to sound rational about it, discredit anybody principled, logical, and consistent by telling them that their way or thinking is a fallacy.

Sure, you can feel anyway you want towards that by voicing your opinion. The problem however is some people that is not for #nochanges continue to make new threads on wanting X or Y into Classic. People need to understand that Classic is a direct mirror to vanilla back in 2006 and is not to be treated the same way as retail wanting to lobby changes.

I want to thank you for being the 500th post on this topic. We couldn’t have done it without people like you.

I understand that perfectly well. What no changes people need to understand is that not every player uses the forums every day and understands that and they wander in to ask for something then get swarmed. It’s not good!

It’s usually generally known and people have explicitly stated this over any forums out there that people need to use the search function on topics similar to what they are about to ask. Many still don’t do this and just want to make a thread anyway to be lazy. If more people would do this and research a bit we would have less of the same topics.

I agree with that but it’s still not an excuse to jump down their throats. Not that you do that but it happens a lot.

He actually does that pretty frequently.

I agree that people need to be more mature about it. However, I also believe there is a level of frustration and it is usually a daily thing on here even to where there are troll threads to where that anger is directed. I believe there is some level of understanding that should be met on both sides of this.

Slippery slope isn’t a logical fallacy at all. History has proven it’s not, multiple times. Give people an inch, and they WILL take a mile, every single time.

Thank you for your interest. Please fill out the questionnaire and let us know how we’re doing.

The misuse of the flag feature on these forums is the perfect example of the concept of a slippery slope being credible. As you said, it’s proven by history, and statistics.

However someone wants to think “oh he said something that slightly resembles the words ‘slippery slope’, INVALID, see I’m correct! Hah.”

That’s a strong “hell no” from me, dawg.

Glinda will thank you in one sentence for something unrelated

If it would be nonsense I would understand why #nochangers are against it. But they even can’t answer why this is a nonsense. All I see is the messages like yours without any arguments or explanations. It’s just JUST: “you tell nonsense go away!!11one”.

Why this is a “hell no”? For what reason it is a “hell no”? Nobody understand. Sometimes I even don’t think that a poster understands it himself.

we’ve given you arguments. you just don’t like it.
first and foremost is the entire purpose of classic wow.
to be an authentic recreation of vanilla wow.
and yes, we acknowledge that there are some changes already, however that does not mean you are green lit to add more changes. even blizzard acknowledges this in their interview they did recently.

would some of the changes be completely terrible and “ruin” classic? that depends on the change. some are obviously less intrusive then others, but they still chip away at authenticity.
i understand you want to make classic “better”, however that is entirely subjective, and frankly, some of those changes people are asking for, are the entire reason people quit modern wow in the first place and wanted vanilla back.
to change it again, would be a slap in the face to those people.

Changes or no changes shouldn’t be personal.

Some changes would improve the game for everyone, and blizzard should do it whether or not a vocal minority wants to whine about it.

All that matters is the quality of the game.

No. What matters is authenticity. And blizzard has spoken recently. Did an interview. Classic is what it is, and wont change

That’s your opinion, to me buffing raids, allowing dual specs to see more PvP specs in open world etc would make classic a more authentic experience to vanilla.

That’s cool, to each their own.

Think about it like this. You have #nochanges, #somechanges and #toomanychanges. There isn’t a well defined line between #somechanges and #toomanychanges. No one can agree what QoL changes are good, as can be seen from the constant debates on the topic. Ultimately it would be up to blizzard to determine what QoL makes the game better. Blizzard, the creators of BFA, diablo 3 and hero’s of the storm, would be in charge of making a game more fun through adding features. Think about it.
