Pay very careful attention to what youāre about to read below.
No. There is no āslippery slopeā about it. No, things do not have to change (and they never will either).
When you make any change to Classic⦠it no longer remains Classic. Instead, the game changes into something else entirely different. The minute you add or remove any feature into Classic, it does not matter what it is; be it a voting system, gate, dungeon maps, ability to link items in local chat, guild banks, class balance, achievements, barber shop, XP for winning a battlground, dual spec, transmog, dungeon finder, flying, etc then you may as well be playing BfA. You are flat out asking Blizzard to remove from or add to Classic WoW.
If you modify one thing, to Classic then you may as well modify everything else and call it BfA. Itās simply not fair to add to or remove one feature, no matter how small you or anyone else think it is, and deny all other features.
In short, the answer is full stop: NO!
J. Allen Brack said that Blizzard will make Classic as it was and thus creating an authentic experience for the players. You want changes? BfA is --------------> that way.

Quote from Ion Hazzikostas: Just as importantly, Hazzikostas says, is that Classic āis what it isā and that players have to take āthe bad with the goodāāeven if that means missing a boat because a priest mind controlled you. āThere is no lobbying the developer to change that because the game is what it was in 2005,ā he adds. āIt has to be accepted, which then frees everybody to find all the positive aspects, all the upsides of that friction and those inconveniences because thereās a certain acceptance of the downsides.ā
NO.
For those who say āIon is not gospelā. Let me ask you a question. When a Police Officer arrests you for impersonation of a Police Officer, are you going to tell the judge, āThe police officer is not gospel.ā? No. Of course not. And why not? Because youāre going to make yourself look extremely very silly. The quoted information came from two C-Level Blizzard employees and youāre going to tell everyone else that it is ānot gospelā?
Good luck.
And, if youāre going to link the definition of āslippery slopeā, be it from wikipedia or other source: let me just stop you yet again because this is what you look like: āI know the definition of slippery slope, therefore Iām going to shoehorn it into my argument and hope nobody notices Iām wrong.ā
You are flat out ignoring what Blizzard said because you disagree with #nochanges. You can argue ābutā¦but muh layeringā or ābutā¦but muh in-game clockā all you like until youāre blue in the face. It does not change the fact that your changes are not going to happen. Full stop.
