I never made the argument that adding 9 items would usher in a new MMO. You’re conflating two separate arguments.
The point of Classic is to faithfully recreate the original World of Warcraft. ANY change goes against that purpose, no matter how significant. Classic is not meant to be a new MMO where we can change things as we wish; it is meant to be World of Warcraft as it was.
I was also pointing out how an item for each class hardly seems to meet the OP’s expectations. Vanilla+ is 9 more items, one for each class? Really?
