The intended release is when the players are ready. Blizzard felt the players were ready for Dire Maul, so they released it. Hopefully they see that players are ready for BWL and BG’s and release those soon too.

Because that was not they way it was in Vanilla. There doesn’t need to be any other reason.

Actually, that is EXACTLY what they said.

Everything you post is just narcissist crap woven to forward your own mistaken narrative. What you say has nothing to do with what Blizzard has actually announced. It’s getting old dude, if you want everything released at once retail is just a click away.

But it’s not 2004 anymore and never will be again. Back then, people just didn’t know stuff. Consumables? World buffs? Sure they were a thing, but not many people know about them and there wasn’t 15 years of people exploring every nook and cranny of the game and theory-crafting every single little thing ad nauseum…
There is no real way to actually re-create the true Vanilla experience because is not a new game anymore. So, there is no real reason to dogmatically adhere to an exact Vanilla release schedule.
I expect Blizzard will release additional content outside of the planned phases. Just like they did with Dire Maul. It’s not a big deal, just enjoy the ride.

Listen, low level Troll Mage. It’s not my fault you’re bad, slow and are behind the curve. Chill out and realize that in Vanilla, the number of players at level 60 and doing the content was far lower than what we have now. BWL is already releasing late, relative to the number of players clearing content.
If you want a game where the majority is given “catch up” time, YOU can go play BfA.
there’s a minimum of 12 team killing rag-ony and my little earthfury server… nevermind herod-stalagg-faerlina.
I say minimum since I hardly log outside of reset day, I don’t really know what the other 20 guild are doing, or how many pug are successfull…
but that’s at minimum… MINIMUM… 10% of the server currently clearing all the PvE content the game has to offer.
and it’s not a hardcore server. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s close to 50% on herod.
Where are you getting your numbers?
And if there’s no reason to log in for those people, maybe they just shouldn’t log in? If my only reason to log into this game EVER is purely driven by what RAID content is available then it’ll be time for me to quit.

and back in vanilla only a select few ever got to kill rag before BWL, has opposed to it dying to random tradechat pug on a semi-regular basis.
your point?

Enjoying things is for filthy casuals
I agree that is the way it should work but we don’t have any evidence that it is.
my numbers comes from the bare minimum i can see on reset day on my own server.
Makgora X2, soon X3
loot goblin ,
absolution,
top class
vindication
murloc gym
bubba shrimp
participation totem,
savage,
pyre,
unsatisfied.
that’s the guilds I can name on top of my head, just on the horde side of earthfury, who kill rag.
now keep in mind I barely play anymore so I’m not up to date with the progress of everyone, I’m sure there’s more on the list.
at 40 people per raid, assuming 5k player on each side of a server, that’s 10% of the horde side killing rag.
at minimum.
on a gimp little server whose population comes from the Xfer off bigger servers, mostly.
nd if there’s no reason to log in for those people, maybe they just shouldn’t log in
it’s almost as if you want classic to fail.
If my only reason to log into this game EVER is purely driven by what RAID content is available then it’ll be time for me to quit.
so, a week or two after you hit 60?
Speak for yourself… it is extremely fun for me. But let’s flip it… running the same instance over and over and over again isn’t fun for most people. Isn’t THAT all RAIDing consists of?

I didnt read through all the 200+ comments in here so this might have already been addressed.
I’m of the mind that blizzard are not going to release any specific schedule for the phases, but rather line them up with any content drought that retail WoW might have. I think they will release all 6 phases before shadowlands is released sometime around this time next year.
Now I do think this is rather fast, but they have business in mind even with a “love letter” project such as classic.
Players a few months ago:
“No one is given a chance to excel at all in retail. Back in Vanilla, you envied the players with raid gear, you aspired to be like them and get that awesome looking gear.”
Players today:
“Whoa Blizzard, slow down on the content, I haven’t had a chance to level up and be one of those players with prestigious raid gear! Come on Blizz, I only play 5 hours a week but I wanna be the best! Gimme a chance!”
TLDR; Casual mentality creating hypocrites. If you want everyone to be in the same gear and have the same progression and doing the same content, go play BfA.
indeed, and this is why we’re asking for new content… they don’t have to create it, just flip the switch.
We understand that you have a lot more free time then others to play video games. Some of us can’t afford as much free time to devote to an online avatar.
I play, on average, 20 hours a week. I just hit level 60 this weekend too. I have my professions maxed, a fair amount of pre raid bis, and around 500g in all. Just under 200hours total on the toon and somehow, you and others think that this is a casual pace (my girlfriend and friends would have to disagree).
What do you consider not casual? Are the 50+hours a week you put in for the first few weeks considered casual to you? Most, I assume, wouldn’t think so.

Too bad?
Why should Blizzard cater to you? Did they delay content so the casuals could catch up and clear it in Vanilla?
No, they didn’t. In fact, far fewer were killing Ragnaros before BWL released in Vanilla than there is in Classic. There’s likely 30 or 40 times more people killing Ragnaros now than there was in Vanilla before BWL released.
