Too many retail players asking for retail changes

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
65

Irrelevant. I’m not a Vanilla player, I started playing in Cata and I’m not one of these Vanilla purests. You would never catch me arguing for things in the game like spellbatching because that’s the “authentic experience”.

As I pointed out above, I’m not one of these Vanilla purests. However, there are certain developments which made me lose interest in World of Warcraft over time that I only rediscovered in playing Classic, and have been playing at my own leisure since.

I have to draw lines in the sand somewhere.

SoD is literally full of changes and will have more. Go back to Era.

It is not irrelevant.

THEN DON’T PLAY SOD! Every season will include more and more changes (we already know this) and bring the level 60 experience closer inline to retail while in the vanilla world. This is the season for those of us who want the vanilla world with the more modern features. Can I recommend a version of vanilla that better matches your preferences?

You seem to be confused here, so let me spell it out for you:

When retail players want changes that cater to what they want, they have new expansions and new patches.

When Classic players want changes that cater to what we want, we have Seasonal Servers. We’re not getting new expansions and patches.

This is for us and should cater to the changes we want, and you’re the guest overstaying his welcome.

Does Blizzard know this? You should inform them that you get to decide on their design decision. Also you 100% have classic patches. Currently you are on ICC and then you will have Ruby Santiam, then you will have Cata.

Considering Blizzard’s reveal at BlizzCon was a direct response to the Classic+ movement? Yeah, they seem to know who they’re targeting.

SoD should have made it clearer than ever to you that lines are beginning to form between the Classic Vanilla and Classic Wrath players.

SoD is for anyone that wanted to play Vanilla-WoW with lots of changes. That’s it. It isn’t yours.

The changes will continue until morale improves.

Yeah, but I’m not going to let people who fundamentally don’t like what Vanilla WoW is to dictate the terms of those changes.

Simple as.

You have no power here.

Can’t wait for even MORE CHANGES in phase 2. Vanilla is about the world and not about the mechanics. Play SoD for vanilla world with lots of changes to bring in more in line with future versions of the game or go play something else.

SoD needs a PVP gear progression system to keep on par with raid gear. If not, then it forces PVP players to raid every 3 days. And since PbP players don’t necessarily have a PVE infrastructure to support them in raiding, nor do they want to participate in that, a raid finder needs to be introduced.

This can all be avoided by simply just adding PVP gear progression like classic has.

Get out of here with those 30 warriors per 40m raid. We’ve had enough of it in original vanilla, classic, SoM, hardcore

Pro tip. If you are paying to play Classic, that is “retail”.

Only as much as you do.

Which means I can sit here and voice approval of suggested changes I like, and in equal measure disprove of the ones I don’t.

Except certain mechanics, such as the Duty Finder, has a direct impact on the world and how people engage with it.

And don’t sit here and say “no one is asking for Duty Finder in Classic” because there’s
a thread that was made today with 90 replies in it asking for exactly that.

This is not vanilla nor it is classic. It’s one game mode, and a temporary one at that.

81

You shall not pass!!!

82

But it’s already been changed. This is not vanilla. What don’t you understand about that?

Which is none.

“disapprove”

Every mechanic has a direct impact on the world and how people engage with it. If we suddenly got Transmogrification in SoD this would still be Vanilla, we just all wouldn’t look like color coordination was too hard for us, but otherwise the game would play exactly the same except now cool looking (but otherwise useless) gear would have a niche AH market.

Oh and xmog in SoD would be cool, so the Devs should add that.

You can voice your opinion, but pretending to be the authority on what SoD represents will just make people disregard your voice entirely
