Classic was an idea forged by players that missed the old version of the game. Now, for some, that meant mechanics or classic identity or content. For others it meant the PVP grind or the way gear worked. But the realistic version of Classic, was to recreate something that captured the original feel and intent of the game as it was.
And that tracks with their decision making when it comes to changes and patches and updates. They often make their changes in a way that reflects the goals and intent of the original game, even if that change is different mechanically from what it specifically was.
Well part of WoW was to create an MMO that felt like a working world. To create a community on your servers. To engage with others and invest in your character. That was a BIG selling point when people heard about Classic. “We want that feeling of community back.” “LFG/LFR ruined the game” “I liked it when I knew everyone’s name on server and recognized players”
So how little sense does it make to then tell players to forcibly reroll and ruin all of that. Players wanted to stick with characters and build something where they were. There is a REASON why server mergers and forced server transfers are always poorly received. Players like the environment and community they have, and making them give that up is actually worse than any negatively gameplay aspect since it destroys the very foundation WoW was built on.
So before you tell someone they should have to reroll, something that is possibly the single WORST thing to be forced to do in WoW, maybe consider if that’s truely the appropriate solution to the situation. I mean, would you be willing to delete your characters and start all over?

Nice. I love when people not affected by an issue feel they have a right to insult and demean those players and ignore the issue. But that’s today right? “Oh you’re having a really terrible situation affecting you? Well I’m not affected by it, so not only do I get to ignore it, I’m going to be a rude and insulting person to you in response. Such is the power of privilege.”

Kay. These topics are getting annoying. What do you honestly want us to do? We aren’t Blizzard and we hold no power to any of this nonsense BUT to reroll. That’s legit, the only CURRENT solution.
Like sorry bro. You either stay and cry or you reroll or boost.
Tldr; Reroll.

If this situation was effecting me I would without a doubt reroll. Seeing as how I wanted to go horde in the first place and only went alliance because I knew this was going to happen.
No one here is being mean, you just don’t want to hear the truth because it’s not an easy one.
If you have an issue with your qs, you can reroll, or you can accept the q. Those are your options. There isn’t anything else to it.
No, I’m not being mean. No I’m not insulting you. Those are the facts. I’m sorry you don’t like them.

If it’s annoying then don’t participate in the discussion? I’m not asking you to do anything. You chose to come here and complain. No one made you.

N o you’re being a rude person. You don’t seem to understand that there’s a wide variety of players. I also love how you “knew” this would happen considering it literally could have gone either way. And when Classic first released there was no issue. It’s only more recently that we’ve run into this. And it’s because of a lack of player retention.
Rerolling was definitely a thing in Classic.

Maybe if there’s a huge number of players complaining about something, that might be an indication of a problem. Why would you be upset about other people voicing their concerns about something? I mean, it’s not affecting you. Unless you specifically enjoy other players suffering.
Gotcha so you basically had nothing to lose. Cool. That explains it.

Rerolling as a concept certainly was. But forcing players with time investment to reroll as a solution to a systematic issue affecting the playerbase makes no sense.

P1 was nothing. I’ve been here since launch, and have far more investment than MC loot. You’re not making your case look any better. I’m sure if this was P1 classic this would be a different story. Wanna equate 2 months to 2 years?
