I think noobs who have played only since cataclysm, are going to lean toward this sorta behavior. That or maybe half hearted players who sucked in vanilla (or even after vanilla).
For a multitude of reasons:
To be honest, as an avid Classic lover, we're kind of the new vegans. We don't shut up about it. There probably is also a bit of resentment with the state of retail the way it is. Bit of Tribalism. Bit of hopeful schadenfreude as well. Maybe a smidge of fear that it might hasten the downfall of retail.

They probably feel classic is shifting resources from retail and hurting its quality.

100% agree with this. Also, while it doesn’t apply to everyone in the Classic community, quite a number of us could stand be less overbearing and abrasive. I get that it can be irritating that some players ask for various changes or ask, “why would you play Classic”. I understand that it gets tiring to hear the anti-Classic crowd’s doomsaying. Even so, it doesn’t give us a license to act like raging intolerant brickweeds when interacting with the larger WoW community and acting that way isn’t going to earn us the slightest bit of goodwill.

At Classic players...? I don't really see much hate for Classic players in general.
It's more likely the NoChanges crowd specifically, for a multitude of likely obvious reasons. They tend to be remarkably aggressive and unreasonable, and can't really view things realistically through their nostalgia goggles. Generalizing of course.
But if you did in fact mean Classic players as a whole, then yeah, kinda like what Lordgrim said with the vegan comparison. If someone played during vanilla, they'll make sure to tell you all about it.

This right here. Vanilla is a better game in it's purest form. I strongly believe on two years when vanilla is getting its own custom content it will do what OSRS did and eclipse the retail playerbase

Heaven forbid that those who wanted classic the way it was be aggressive in defending it
There is a game out there already with changes to it.
Meanwhile for those who just want classic your options are blizz gets this right or break the law.

The differences between vanilla and retail players really seems to match up with generational differences.

Because they've been fighting against it for so long (the battle for Classic is not new; it's been going on for years), and now all of their effort and energy will have been in vain. The Wall-of-No'ers will be proven wrong, and that many people just can't take being proven wrong.10/28/2018 09:09 PMPosted by PipersWhy do people get mad that people are hyped about classic?

We've seen it before, historically. When there's no way to win, facing the unthinkable, gather your forces and do a BANZAI charge. That's what is happening now .... the final attack before fragile egos and low self-esteem rise like the Sha of Despair and consumes them.

The melodrama is STRONG in this one,i hope you're getting paid for that.
(addendum: and before you fly off the handle, that's not implying you're a shill,it's implying you write melodrama so well that you should be getting paid for it outside this gamespace)

Could it be because this is a totally fabricated situation pushed by those who benefit from the hype train rollin full steam ahead?
Nah. Couldn't be that.
The vegan analogy is pretty likely as well.
There is an element keeping this going though....

If you think that is good you should read some of the muh Vanilla posts from months back.
Some are so over the top melodramatic that they read like drama club material.
Some were sincere and heartfelt by some seemed like complete fabricated bs. LOL
Yea the Glorious battle for Vanilla. Come on man you're not gonna tell the grandkids you took an arrow to the knee in the final battle after Nost fell?

Because the Classic "community" attack retail players at every turn, in every thread, everywhere.
So, of course, they're going to get mad at you.
When you do nothing but attack someone, you expect them to treat you civilly?
Seriously... Read these forums... It's nothing but "Retail players are babies.", "Retail players fail at life.", "Classic players are gods.", etc...
The Classic community is showing how much garbage they really are, and proving that as a group, players of Retail tend to be better people.
You say the "Classic community" is better? Prove it.
Also, see you in Classic.
