Or the more elegant fix: Simply nerf the max respec cost from 50g down to like 10-15g like we asked for since before classic wow was released and many private servers have done. This makes respeccing much easier on the average player while still maintaining integrity of the game which ‘dual spec’ does not.
you could make it free and people would still be complaining

That’s less elegant.
You’ll still have to redo your bars or download some archaic addon to save your action bars in a text file.
Its a sad life if that’s true…

Heaven forbid having to actually do stuff in a game to customise your ui …
Less elegant? Lol you couldn’t make this stuff up.
I reckon the most elegant way to deal with the game is to remove all need to customise or press buttons and just drip feed epix into players gearslots! So, elegant…
Use an addon to manage your gear sets and bars if you find the basic UI “inelegant”. Don’t force a game change on other players on the basis of you being lazy.
#somechanges is not TBC +
It’s not an invitation to entirely renovate and “modernise” the game. It’s still meant to be a “classic” experience. If you don’t like that then move on to another game.
Fixing bugs, technical issues, and some balance issues is one thing, renovating the entire feature list and UI is something else entirely. TBC classic is at risk of becoming #frankenwow if we simply start plugging and playing our favourite features from various other iterations of the game into it.

This is an intellectually dishonest take. Retail doesn’t block you from switching specs by making you visit a trainer, pay gold, reallocate talents, possibly rearrange action bars and keybindings, and even changes the primary stats on your gear for you if necessary.
The semantic argument between dual-spec and retail’s spec-as-you-like system is negligible and the fact that you keep picking at this stupid issue is why I usually ignore the garbage that you type.

So you’re saying Wrath of the Lich King is just like Retail?
Because that’s when dual-spec was implemented.
It was actually going to be implemented in TBC, devs were actually laying the groundwork before Wrath.
So, does that mean TBC is just like retail then?
The thing thats funny is it doesnt really matter if they put dual spec in the game…people still wont tank because they dont want to lol
people still wont heal because they dont want to.
All its gonna do is add pvp dual spec perks so dps class can run both dps specs at all times. But as far as finding more dungeons because its implemented. thats a pipe dream.
Why do you think retail still has issues finding tanks and healers when respecs are free and tanking/healing were made essentially brainless for 5 man groups

Would be ironic if tanks and healers used their dual spec for dps farm specs and just never tanked/healed dungeons.

Which is exactly what I plan to do with it if it happens.
These people demanding duals spec don’t really care about tank or healer shortages. They’re blow ins who are in TBC because they ran out of things to do in retail. They want frankenwow.
Otherwise where were they in Classic. Classic had less classes that could Tank and also had Tank and Healer shortages and yet not a peep.
Suddenly after Bliz offer a boost service in the middle of a Shadowlands content drought and it becomes imperative to “fix classic”.

“These people”
Where were you? Looks like you started in phase 6, according to warcraftlogs. There’s two main reasons why I wasn’t asking for Dual Spec in Classic:
1.) Blizzard made it clear they were really going for an “authenticity first” design philosophy.
2.) It wasn’t nearly as necessary as it is now. There was no arena. Dungeons were incredibly easy and didn’t require tank specced tanks.
Similar to the world buff meta situation, players feel compelled to participate in content in the appropriate spec. This has already created a raid logging situation, as players would rather raid log, than schedule and spec accordingly to play different aspects of the game.
E.g:
“Hey dude, wanna play some arena matches before raid?”
“Nah, don’t wanna blow 100g for a few matches. How about after raid?”
“Sorry, gotta go to sleep after raid.”
I’ve respecced four times in the last two years. I don’t want Dual Spec for myself; I want Dual Spec for the health of my guild and the game.

I started classic on release. But wasn’t using warcraftlogs until phase 6. Still don’t use it consistently.
Warcraftlogs isn’t an exhaustive reference lol.

Oh yeah?
Must have rerolled to that Warrior in phase 6 then.
No. But I didn’t start raiding until phase 6.
So what?
Go on your crusade to make frankenwow and save classic from itself for all the good people then hero of Azeroth! Armed with the mighty Sword of Spooner’s Shining Whit in main hand and the glorious almanac of the logs of Warcraft in the offhand. Go now hero and save Azeroth!!!

I’m trying my best. It would be better if the people who want Classic TBC to fail would stop arguing against Dual Spec though.
Somebody is jealous! You see that Ashbringer and get a little green?
Welp, I tried:
He didn’t really confirm or deny though.
As far as I know, he only uses his twitter for his personal related. And I am pretty sure he can’t really say anything with the current situation with the company.
