Why do classic players say, “retail failed.”

[Mcg-benediction]

That was true as soon as you turned up in it. That’s for sure. You could search for “retail failed” and see all the results in the classic forums, but why do that when you can just be lazy and tell lies that fit your own personal narrative, followed by an axe emoji.

Looks like the only person that’s ever typed the phrase “retail failed” on the WotLK Classic forum has been you.

Yes! This is why retail ended up failing. Because people could just change their spec to meet whatever needs their groups have without being punished and wasting time.

People hated that and retail failed.

Reading the WotLK Classic forum, it is apparent that Classic players don’t want retail features in Classic.

It’s understandable that Classic players playing Classic don’t want things that aren’t apart of the Classic version of the game introduced to Classic.

WoW Token being a great example, as well as balancing changes.

Perhaps the Classic version of the game is why Classic players are playing Classic. Changing Classic to introduce retail features or new made up systems and features, makes the game not Classic.

Seems as though the Classic playerbase has no problem with other players enjoying playing and doing whatever they wish to do. But why would other players force and want to ruin Classic for the players that wish to play Classic World of Warcraft: Vanilla, TBC, WotLK? Seems like a strange disconnect as to why people requested to have and play Classic for years.
