Nope. I will actually keep my subscription as this change demonstrates that Blizzard is actually monitoring and cares about Classic WoW.
This doesnât concern you, if youâre not signing on. This concerns the majority of the Classic playerbase.
But thanks for what was a very funny read. It really made my day!!
Youâre welcome.
Sorry, but I donât believe that Blizzard would make such a change if they thought from their logs and reports that this change would affect the MAJORITY of the Classic player base. I am more inclined to believe that this change will only affect a very LOUD minority of players who are obviously doing things that Blizzard does not want them to do in game.
Also your objection over your âoppression at the hands of Blizzardâ tells me that you do not know the real meaning of the words you are typing. A Thesaurus is your friend. If you donât know what a Thesaurus is, I recommend you start with a dictionary and work your way forward. 
Thanks.

Blizzard did not have the feedback of the majority of the Classic playerbase before we complained about it. We are doing this in service of the game.

Compare the replies on this thread to the replies on the main thread. You are the vocal minority here.

Check the OED.

Again, OED.
Remove the instance lock. This does nothing against botting. It only hurts players who use dungeons to farm prebis or legitimately farm gold in there for their own use. In case you may or may not have noticed, raiding is not cheap. You can easily get into hundreds of gold per raid night on repairs and consumables. Matukas For Dev 2020.
I donât understand how someone could argue that as a play if you run more than 30 duns a day your exploiting the game. If you are a no lifer, if you have free time in excess of 8 hours a day it is entirely feasible for someone to reach lockout. What happens when the lock out coincides with a Raid ? 24 hours is a decent chunk of time, time that we pay a subscription for. I personally play in excess of 12 hours a day since launch. I have almost over 100 hours on my main account in game just by running dungeons, farming craftables, and gold farming in instances. I main a rogue and herb farm, lock pick or simply go blender mode on some mobs. This change infringes on my ability to play my main and essentially forces me to buy another account just so I can continue playing the game I enjoy. I refuse to listen to the notion âGo do something else or play something elseâ I pay for this. Let me into the game Iâm paying for. If you think restrictions are necessary, put it on the toon and not the entire account. Some of us has multiple lvl 60âs weâve invested time into over the last 9 months and now they are all locked behind a time wall every day. Can I at least transfer my toon to another account so I may continue to use it? How about just reverting the rash change implemented and fixing the game in a more meaningful way and not just sling a new coat of lip stick on this fat disgusting pile of crap youâve created.

Itâs because the argument holds no weight. Itâs a really weird retail-centric mentality that players should be told when and how to play a 15-year-old game.
Yeah, all Blizzard has is the raw data that tells them exactly how often how many people run more than 30 dungeons a day. If it was a majority they never would have made this change.
Blizzard still doesnât have the feedback of the majority of the classic player base since forum posters are just a self select fringe group thatâs a tiny fraction of the player base.
lol who is this âweâ? Donât talk for other people, you represent yourself. Personally, I have no issue with the change.
What is most hilarious, is people in this forum actually think they represent and âmajorityâ of players. MaybeâŚMAYBE 10% of players even come to the forums.

Then why havenât they shared this data? Show us how many people were running more than 5 lockouts per day before this change, so we can talk about numbers.

Blizzard can read chat logs. I suggest you hop on any sizeable server and take a gander at trade chat or LFG sometime. See who isnât complaining.
It makes me sad to so many bottersâŚpost in this thread.

As I have specified previously, âweâ refers to the majority of the Classic playerbase.
Blizzard never shares data. I wish they would, especially data about the number of subs and how many play classic only, both, or retail only. But even without the data Iâd tend to believe blizzard when they say the dungeon cap only affects a handful of players over some with no representative data thatâs obviously using confirmation bias to claim the majority agrees with him.

Blizzard doesnât share data now, but they used to. I also wish they would return to doing so.

But the issue I have with this is the framing. Theyâre telling what their data shows after the change. Whoâs going to intentionally do 5 sets of dungeon lockouts and then get locked out of their ZG run? I doubt anyone would. Add the fact that we canât even track this in-game, since thereâs no UI, and obviously most people who were farming dungeons are going to avoid hitting the cap. Thatâs the result of the change. Or at least, thatâs the result of the change in my case, and in the cases of my friends. Iâm open to having this hypothesis disproven if theyâd just show us the data for who was hitting over 5 lockouts before the change. Iâll admit to being wrong if they do that.
Iâd addâif anyone from Blizzard is readingâthat thereâs nothing compromising about this data (whereas subscription numbers might be more compromising for a company interested in showing performance), so there is nothing threatening about sharing it with us.
Uh huh, and were is your PROOF that you represent the majority besides you saying so?
Kinda pathetic, how many people defend this change, ainât it?
Check the tallies, posted above. Or even better, check the ratio of likes to responses in the main thread.
The responses mean absolutely nothing on this forum. It more than likely is 6-10 individuals swapping out their forum character. Your claim is dubious, at best. The only way anyone could even consider your idea of checking the posts above, is if people were limited to using one avatar for the forums.
Because as we know, you mongoloids always resort to ârEtAiL iS bAd!â when you have no real argument. Stop trying to make retail the reason youâre a maladjusted people of trash. Retail has NOTHING to do with this, and youâre a garbage person for trying to steer that way.
I too try to put my faith in Blizzard. It is hard when communication is light, but I do believe they have people who only want the best for the game working there, and that they are doing what they can within the bounds and restrictions theyâve been asked to adhere to.
Having said that, my major concern with that statement they released is that they perhaps failed to consider many folks who used to be going over 30 instances per day, but are now making active efforts to not do that because they know about the change.
Using Feral Druids here just as an example, but how many of them were mass farming this prior to the hotfix, but then stopped going over 30 per 24h because they didnât want to get locked out of a raid. My fear is that Blizzards metrics wouldnât include them as people who are affected by this change.
It doesnât mean the change isnât having a negative impact on people, it just means that very few people are being surprised by the limitations.
