Remember all the people that said vanilla will never happen? I remember seeing posts by “smart” people stating the reasons why vanilla won’t ever be sanctioned by blizzard
Do you remember how smart these people were? The ones who said it would never happen? Where are these people? Where have they gone?
Fast forward to 2019, here’s a new bunch of smart posters. I want you to all notice the similaritiesz
“People will lose interest”
“The playerbase will drop off”
“It’s all nostalgia”
These people posting this will leave chat once Vanilla becomes the wild success that it is
“smart” and “woke” people are naysaying vanilla for different reasons. Once the game becomes a success; they too will disappear LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO
So go ahead and make your crappy predictions. Us who love this game know where people like that end up.
Quiet and wrong
I want to take screenshots of all the forum posters naysaying. When vanilla becomes a wild success, guess what these naysayers will say?
“I was wrong” or radio silence
So keep talking like you always have done. We all know your predictions mean crap
Most of you are going to start playing this, expecting your 2004 and pserver communities. After realizing that the people who want to push for firsts, rapid progression, want to level alts as fast as possible are all going to be playing on this server too, you’re all going to quit or go back to your private servers… Because you’re expecting classic to recreate something that it just can’t.
Naysayers gonna nay. Nothing better to do I guess, I still get a little chuckle when I “think you want that…”
I know what playing the demo felt like and it encouraged all the things I miss most about Vanilla. Groups were made, issues were chatted up, Chuck Norris was lambasted… good times were had.
This is the internet man, there will be no ‘I was wrong’
Hell I’m still owed an apology for how I was treated in G.D. after accurately predicting that Blizzard was going to try to get away with never having flight again during their whole string-along in WoD. I was called everything from “crazy” to “a troll.”
Well, in the end I was right, even if Blizzard did backpedal after the subsequent sub implosion. I didn’t get that apology though. Typical.
Those people you’re talking about-- the push for first, the rapid progression, etc.-- they exist on pservers too. And after they clear all the content, they amuse themselves by competing on who can clear content the fastest. So I don’t really get your point here. It’s not as if we’re not used to all this.
The issue with this is that people will get bored after 6 months and have completed the current content when this happens people will drop off because they are bored.
So long as Classic exists and there is a decent community on my server, I couldn’t care less what the forum wants to think about if Classic failed or succeeded.
A lot of people are going to call it a failure/success based on whatever criteria fits the outcome that they want anyway.
Glad you’re keeping true to your toxic attitude towards classic… Is it that difficult to understand that people want to play the game and not simply to recreate a feeling?
“Take off the rose tinted glasses” is my favorite. Dead giveaway that you’re not interested in anything Classic players have to discuss. It’s like the post-wall of no equivalent of typing “you mad” in an argument.
