Sure hope we get Burning Crusade sooner rather than later. Ideally before vanilla burnout sets in.

Flying shrinks the world…well not really but it changes your perception of the world making it feel like it shrank, what used to take an hour to walk now takes 2 to 3 min to fly to making the world feel small and unimportant, it doesn’t matter at what level in the expect that it gives it to you it does the same thing every time, makes the world feel small.

I want TBC because more classes/specs were viable and it’s still faithful to the RPG portion of MMORPG.

Same! I love classic and am having a blast but a big reason I’m here is to add my voice and wallet to the crowd saying “we like this stuff”. Hopefully if it’s popular enough we can get TBC/Wrath servers.

I played this game in beta and all throughout vanilla. I quit 2-3 months into TBC in large part due to flying, and pretty much didn’t touch it again until Legion. I then quit Legion once it introduced flying.
The game changed a lot in TBC. It really felt like a new, different game, didn’t feel like vanilla at all.
Arenas were the best thing they added in TBC. It made PvP competitive, it actually became an esport that was interesting to watch for years. I’d want TBC/wotlk just for arena.
It gave people the option to PvP without being forced into raids (kind of). Resil gear wasn’t hard to obtain as a raider. You always had the previous arena set as an honor farm. 2k was just too hard so people complained. I was forced into raiding so I could compete in arena. Remember bloodlust brooch? Stun herald? Grim toll from wotlk? That was lame but necessary.
I raided all vanilla, half the time in TBC, little bit in wotlk. Haven’t raided since (lfr doesn’t count).
I’d level on TBC just to prepare for Wotlk.

I think when we play Classic for a little while longer, people’s opinions might change. In BC, flying mounts where only usable in the Badlands. It wasnt till Wrath when they were usable in the overworld.
I’m not for or against it, but I’ll share my experience.
I played WoW before TBC and when the whole thing was announced, I was ecstatic. I was really hoping for flying and to have it sounded like an amazing idea to me.
Then when it released, I was disappointed by how limited the flying was. Don’t mistake me–I understood why we could only fly in the BC specific areas–but it was a huge disappointment to me. I was hoping they would take the time to make it so you could fly everywhere (which they finally did in Cataclysm).
Still, I enjoyed the flying for what it was: A more independent means of safely getting from Point A to Point B. Since it came along later and cost a lot of money, it didn’t ruin the need for ground mounts or flight paths, IMHO. Also, sometimes you wanna grab a snack and still get there, so FPs are still relevant to me for that reason, lol.
No, the only thing I remember not liking about TBC was the fact that Draenei brought the Shaman class to Alliance and Blood Elves brought the Paladin class to the Horde. I was definitely against it, and didn’t care for them adding a “pretty race” to the Horde for what felt like arbitrary reasons at the time. Nowadays I don’t really care about that specifically anymore. I enjoyed TBC, and WotLK, so if they decided to go there, I’d be curious to see how it was implemented.

I played TBC from start to finish and am solidly in the boat of those who dislike flying. Even though I got an epic flying mount within the first to weeks of the expansion, I was never really a fan with the way that it gutted player collision in the open world.
I also seriously dislike another item that began in TBC, which is daily quests. They made gold much more accessible, but I don’t think they did the game any favors.
All of this being said, TBC is still my favorite expansion of them all; however, these two small cancers of the game were birthed in TBC and steadily became more and more malignant over time.
I played TBC and I loved flying (I was a druid).
But, with hindsight, I can see how flying broke a lot of the game. So no, I don’t want it back.
i know some may get mad, but flying is fine.
What the problem is, and this tends to be a trend with blizz, is how you implement it. This is what people hate in truth.
Many games have implemented flying and it’s been a success. Flyff, a game that was released 14 years ago, it’s whole concept is around flying, it’s even in the name and the game isn’t hated because of it and still going till this day.
Build your content around flying and it will be fine.
Get rid of the stupid path finding, have a quest that’s linked to completing a raid or dungeon.
Once you’ve got flying, it grants you access to an area in the zone which can only be accessible through flying and in that zone most quests, rares, dungeons, etc, require flying. With the current system you get flying once everything done, so it’s like…What’s the point? And that content was deigned to be done on ground mounts.
TD;LR
The concept of flying is fine, they need to build their content around flying, not the other way round.

The only reason I’m playing Classic, is to level my character to 60 and then let him sit and wait until they inevitably progress the servers to TBC.
I’m enjoying doing the leveling again, but I have absolutely no interest in doing the endgame content indefinitely and putting up with Classic/vanilla broken class design.

Yeah, it doesn’t affect any aspect of the game … unless you count the fact that raising the level cap to 70 makes everything you did in the vanilla dungeons and raids obsolete by the time you’re level 62.

Flying is the worst thing ever implemented in this game.
Especially in PVP servers.

It was 160% move speed and killed world pvp / interaction.
Flying sucked.
Anti-flyers don’t tend to make a lot of sense to begin with.

Not flying. Blood elves. Most of us came back to classic or whatever this is, to get away from The Elf Horde as I like to call it. As I stated in another thread you really can argue that it saved Blizzard entertainment.
With out the revenue from TBC - BFA the companies other titles wouldn’t exist.
lol so your saying we the reason we should not get tbc is because of blood elves?

He can speak for himself. I’m waiting for BC servers. Playing a Human mage, warlock, and paladin in Classic isn’t the same feel as playing my Blood Elves.
Doing the run though Wetlands to level in Teldrassil & Darkshore with my Huamns isn’t the same experience as leveling through Eversong Woods & Ghostlands as my Blood Elves.
Some people don’t like BC and now the want to ROB PLAYING BC from everybody else. There’s an easy solution! They can stay on their Classic servers forever and lets us who LOVE BC play on our Classic BC servers. Problem Solved!

Agreed 1000% I enjoy so much the dungeons and raids of BC but for god sake outlands is so dull and boring in design I can’t stand it everytime I go to that place, if they do BC I’m going to be looking forward to a better future for zones my beloved Northrend!
