Will it be possible to say, get to lvl 60 on a classic server, get a legendary weapon that is no longer available in retail, then character transfer from classic to retail, so that you now have a character with said legendary weapon on retail?
No.
At least not now.
And probably never.

If they didn’t remove Naxxramas, i would say Blizz should allow that option, but people rocking up to Retail with Atiesh, full tier 3 & Corrupted Ashbringer would upset people who still have those exotic items.
& also people who spent a ton of gold getting tier 3 on the BMAH.

I dont see why it should upset anyone, the people who get Atiesh will have to go through the same difficult trials that the people who currently still have Atiesh had to go through to get it.

Blizzard were super clear that they didn’t want items to be transferable between versions. They don’t want retail players coming across simply to grab no-longer available transmogs/mounts and then ditching classic.

Somewhat, but Naxx will be speed farmed day 1, people know the pre Naxx bis, what specs to bring, etc
Then again, people in TBC did farm Naxx for fun & sell off the shards in GDKP runs, so maybe Blizz can consider it, Naxx 40 should have never been removed imo.

It’s day 2.
MC is still undefeated.
I think Naxx might take a little while.
Thing is, by doing that they ensure that once people level their characters and get everything done they wanted done, the characters just get held hostage by Blizzard on a server that the player no longer plays on.
By contrast if a one way / one time transfer was allowed it would improve the low-level experience exponentially as you’d have the situation where “LF a Tank / Healer for Ragefire” was always relevant, because you always would have a influx of people rolling fresh toons.
If you like how the Classic Servers are right now, and want that to stay a norm; you should most definitely support this and make it vocally known to Blizzard that you want their stance to change for the long term longevity of Classic WoW. Being bullish on this subject really boils down to it being a case of: “Blizzard thinks they want that, but they don’t.”

No but they hinted at the idea of adding TBC servers if thats what players want. Assuming we can copy and paste our toons from classic to there:)

Yup yup! They said once classic has its final phase if players demand it they’ll do it! Hoping they’ll go up to WOTLK and stop:)

No happens!
Why? They earned it the same.

If they go that far, then what exactly was the point again of locking people from transferring those characters that they have leveled to… 85 at that point to retail? This part genuinely confuses me.
IMHO, it’s short-sighted and arbitrary decisions like the “No transfers ever!” that earn Blizzard the ire of their playerbase, and thus the reputation they have cultivated the last 15 years. It certainly isn’t because their content isn’t solid.
It actually is solid and engaging. But enjoying it long term? This is often impossible because time and again they fight common sense solutions, and instead implement the most obtuse, antagonistic, and bone-headed ideas that can be contrived. “They Sony it up.”
Pretty sure farming gold on live is faster then grinding out full nax gear on classic.

Blizzard was also super clear about “no classic, EVER” And look what happened? With enough demand it’ll happen.

If your playing classic with the hopes of transfering your character to BFA to have the cosmetics then I don’t think its the game for you.

The whole it will annoy people that farmed it back then thing is a stupid point to make since if you grind it out now you did exactly the same as them. And items like the corrupted ashbringer is pure rng luck so if someone gets in in classic big whoop they got lucky. Wont take away the same bit of luck you got back then. Let us transfer or even just connect it to retail tmog
