The intention of tbc was for people to progress from Kara to T5 to T6, exc. The phases don’t change that experience.
Paid boosts had a tbc version called recruit a friend. You just didn’t have to pay for it. And it was far better at leveling multiple toons than what the 1 boost does.
Store mount was in tbc in the forum of the card games it’s you could get. It was the physical form of the cash shop.
The other things are not something of the games design, but of player behavior and RL changes, there is no way for blizzard to control that. If you want to relive that part of your life then go by a lot of hot pockets and sprite, lock yourself in your moms basement and play from there. That’s your choice to recreate that part of your life.
The goal is to recreate tbc experience as best as they can, which involves respecting the origional games design goal intentions. Some changes have been made, but that is never a justification for more changes. Unless you want to admit the slippery slope isn’t a fallacy, because once you use past changes as your justification for more changes, then you are on the slippery slope.
We are literally going to have this function in 8 months.
There is no reason, like the lfg tool they added, to not put it in the game now.
You are the kind of person who thinks crumbling buildings from 1862 should be saved at all costs because a vice president once walked by it.
Random emotional attachment to the past when the present is so remotely different and we know so much more it’s insane to not just do it.
The justification for all changes should be… create the game based on wotlk end game. That should be the final in the series. Give us LFG and dual spec.
What a strange and terrible argument. So you demand dual spec because you cant “afford” the time to farm 50g to swap specs… but youre swapping specs so often in the minute time you have to play that this is a real actual problem?
The facts of history are that blizzard decided to add dual spec during TBC originally due to problems seen in TBC, problems we’re seeing now in TBC Classic, that it didn’t actually get into the game until wrath doesn’t change the fact that the decision was made in TBC.
Can we stay on topic? Redheadchild isn’t against dual spec, he’s against removing the cost for changing specs. Let’s maintain focus here on what people are arguing and the merits around those.
He fully supports the implementation of the dual spec system, he just wants you to farm for gold.
You’re assuming everyone thinks Wrath is an improvement, with all of its modern features. But for me, Wrath is when the game started going to hell, and I probably won’t be playing it, although I’m still kind of on the fence.
Let the TBC fans enjoy TBC. Wrath babies should wait for Wrath for Wrath features. Like you said, it’s probably only 8 months away.
Ive got hippy friends who do silly stuff like set out crystals to bring the rain or whatever. Then if it ever rains they’re like “See? I did that with my magic crystal powers” or whatever.
Some people just need to feel like they’re affecting the world, as silly as their methods may seem to most.
I care about the authenticity myself seeing as its kinda the point behind playing an old, dead and buried game but my stance has always been, please give me a legitimate reason for dual specs inclusion that isnt entirely based on entitlement and why having a lot of entitled people asking for it means its worthwhile. Or at least be honest about the entitlement.
Still waiting, after almost two years.
Mostly what you get are inept troll responses about how people who dont want dual specs are basically the antichrist.
Ive done that like 500 times already. My profile isnt hidden. Go through my post history until you see the titles of dual spec threads and when you locate one click on my avatar and you can view all my posts in that particular thread while the rest remains hidden.
Now, some threads have been straight up deleted because my criticisms invited some to ummm ask me to voluntarily stop breathing forever but Ive repeated it enough times that it should be in there somewhere.
I want to be able to respec (a thing I can already do) but I don’t want to pay gold for it
I can get gold pretty easily with minimal time commitment a number of ways… but I dont wanna.
Blizzard should eliminate the time/gold requirement for this thing I want because I really want it but I also really don’t want to do any work to get it. I feel I just inherently deserve to have it. One might say… I’m entitled to it.
If you walk into my dealership and demand a car because you’re entitled to it… I should give it to you. Because if I don’t that’s just me feeling entitled in keeping it FROM you.
Going a step further, they arent asking for their own TBC server with their preferences. They want to remake all of TBC classic in their image and then foist it upon everyone, even those opposed to it (and have good reason to be).
Id say thats pretty good example of entitlement - especially when you throw in the rest of the entitlement.
