Unlocking Unobtainable Appearances in Class for Retail?

[Dealloc-dethecus (Dealloc)]

Old School Runescape

Strawman

Old School RuneScape is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with WoW: Classic.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

It’s a good idea because it allows players who didn’t get a chance to play classic to get things they always wanted the way it was meant to be obtain. It’s also a good idea to keep the game alive longer

[Mergons-terenas]

Believe or not but the majority of players like to be able to customize their characters

I think you’re on the wrong forums? Because its deff not true here.

[Tiea-detheroc]

Except it doesn’t provide any argument as to why it’s a good idea.

What part about bringing players that would otherwise not come am I not making clear here?

I could come up with a list of hundreds of optional things. Should Blizzard implement whatever I suggest just because “it’s optional”?

Absolutely, why not?

/sigh I’ll feed the troll

Believe or not but the majority of players like to be able to customize their characters

at least you say majority and not all like some.
that said, classic isn’t the game for that.
classic is meant to be an authentic recreation. a museum piece. it isn’t meant to cater to retailers and give them incentive to play.

and screws over the classic community in the process. you know, the intended audience of classic?

No one gives a F about more players to come and play. Pservers are enough of an indicator that there will be manny.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

You said “Classic means nothing will change.”
That’s not true at all, and old school runescape was an example.
Some things are changing, such has trading gear and sharding

What part about bringing players that would otherwise not come am I not making clear here?

I already provided a counter-argument to that, which you neglected to counter by simply stating 'But it’s optional!".

Absolutely, why not?

Development teams don’t have infinite resources.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

Blizzard cares.
You would make a terrible business manager

[Tiea-detheroc]

Strawman

He’s citing a game that changed with no option of playing the original game causing many to quit until they changed their minds about bringing back the servers.

You’re telling me there’s no similarities?

because while it would probably be better for classics population itself, it would not be better for the CLASSIC COMMUNITY itself.
and seeing as a huge part of classic is COMMUNITY, that isn’t a good thing.

why do you think so many people are against things like Loot Trading and Sharding?

[Mergons-terenas]

You would make a terrible business manager

I think you would, because u have no clue who this product is targeted at.

[Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders (Bloodfall)]

Then why are races a thing if no one cares what they look like?

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

sharding isn’t confirmed and loot trading is being done purely for blizzards sake and a lot of the community isn’t happy about it.

just because their are changes to the game already does not mean you can go ahead and add other changes.

[Mergons-terenas]

Then why are races a thing if no one cares what they look like?

What?

[Pintero-moon-guard (Pintero)]

I truly do believe that these two players are in cahoots with one another, maybe we should stop posing before this topic gets more replies then views.

[Araska-emerald-dream (Araska)]

This idea is downright insulting to the purpose of classic. It would be denigrating the whole experience by making it a means of obtaining pointless cosmetics for an awful “game” which is the primary reason why people want vanilla’s return to begin with.

[Mergons-terenas]

Ye good idea, bye all GL.

[Leatherfoot-rexxar (Leatherfoot)]

Let’s just get classic live first and then people can hammer blizzard with requests all they want.
