For the most part, everyone was satisfied with Classic. Besides a few minor things like server pops and layering, it went smoothly and the lamentations were few.
The Burning Crusade Classic is going just as well except this time the forums are full of requests and complains… but not for ‘Classic’ reasons such as game balance. Visit the TBC forums and you’ll see all the chatter is about retail QoL things that appear in future expansions and how a growing number wants them included in TBC classic.
Some things they’re requesting such as Dual Spec would be like wanting to live in the 50s but have the internet. Silliness aside this really struck me, because people were content with Classic. The desire to bring retail features to TBC classic is new compared to the NOCHANGES community of Classic.
Why aren’t players content with TBC classic like they were with Classic?

It’ll die down i think. All the retail players got bored in retail waiting for their drought to end. They like classic but can’t get over the instant gratification in retail. They think those things from retail make the game better but they haven’t been around long enough to know that’s what ruined it in the first place.

Oh, I am definitely content with TBCC. The main is just shy of 66 and about to hit up Nagrand, easily my favorite zone in the entire game, retail lands included.
Do not mistake my engagement in threads, daydreaming about QoL improvements, as disparaging the game in it’s current state.

I’d say the vast number of people against dual spec are dps and the vast number for it are tanks/healers. It’s just easy to be against dual spec if you’re dps and be for it if you’re a tank/healer.

Blackbeard laugh just for you.
I’m a healer and I hate dual spec.

You want the real Vanilla and BC experience? The threads asking for dual spec were more and longer then than that are now. The real BC experience would be more people complaining about respec costs and the lack of dual spec and less people being satisfied. Did you play BC? Did you read the forums back then? If so you know what I’m saying is true.

Not everyone was content with classic. Some people want to see changes with this game and Classic.
Retail is very different from Classic and TBC in terms of play style. Retail did some things right, and many things wrong. People want to see some of the things they did right with Retail in classic to enhance the game.
People were asking for dual specs way back in TBC too. Along with barber shops and transmog. It just got added in WOTLK.
I’m enjoying it.
Duel spec would be nice, but I don’t think it’ll make or break the game.
Currently, I’m torn between making my fire mage or my demo (tempted to switch to afflic) lock my main. I’m hearing mixed reviews for both.
I don’t understand why people want to see changes with CLASSIC. It’s supposed to be how it was. Ask for your own version to have changes. Change does not always equate to better especially when blizzard is involved.
People have asked for a classic+ version of the game. That way people can have their museum version of regular classic while those that want some new QoL features can have them.
People aren’t asking for that. They’re asking for QoL changes in classic right now. Not classic +
Only complaint I have is the same complaint I had when I started WoW in TBC. Takes too long to level. The novelty of immersing in zones, etc. wore off for me years, and years ago. I just want to do end-game content.
TBC is when I earned avast ye admiral and you could get all the good jokes in game so didn’t need the forums then.
Yeah, because classic+ will never happen so I think people gave up on that. Classic TBC shouldn’t really be called “classic”. They’ve already made significant changes to it.
Lol!
e.g. PVP happening on PVP servers during P2.
mage becomes a turd with sprinkles while lock gets turned up to 11 in wotlk if that helps you decide on your main.
People forget the trashcan fire that the forums were back before reddit.
Who doesn’t like sprinkles?
