You’re kinda repetitious yourself, with one small change.

I personally didn’t hate Cataclysm… But Classic for me ends with Wrath. It was the original “trilogy” if you will.

I’ll still play and enjoy my time with my partner regardless if there are tons of people or not. I feel like most people complaining would play anyway.
I’m hoping for MoP in the future most of all. And I hope they give Wrath era servers. Wrath isn’t my favorite, but so many people love it and are begging for the servers…
To me the term classic isn’t just including the trilogy. I would say maybe up to Legion.

I don’t really feel like cataclysm classic will be dead on arrival. They have a new fan base, and the old fan base, the ones who wanted classic wow in the first place, blizzard didn’t really show signs of caring about them.
They were the anti boosters. The anti wow tokens. Etc. None of that was really perceived as a part of classic in the first place. In my op, and alot of others, cataclysm was kind of where it stopped being classic wow.
All on the same token, I am fine with experiencing cataclysm classic again. But if they take permanent wrath classic servers away, I see no point in going forward. I like wrath classic more than any other expansion. But unfortunately, only like 500 of us seem to think that. And money is the only thing that talks to blizz.
I will probably play cataclysm classic. But if they delete permanent wrath classic server options from the game, it is a definite no for me.
I dont think they are going to delete them as much so as progress them.
That being said, they might do BC/LK classic again.
I hope there is a cloning service. So if you want to still do wrath classic, and do cataclysm classic, you can. That would be awesome.
That way you can copy toons to permanent wrath classic servers, as well as cataclysm classic.

Agreed haha. Cata will definitely have its share of players, but I don’t personally have an interest in playing it. I also just wanted to quit in general after playing almost without breaks the past 3 years. I’m sure others aren’t tired of the game

The reason ERA wrath servers seemed so small is because you need to add custom mechanics like gold deletion yearly like warmane does to keep economy relevant.
The wrath they created with all these catch up systems and heroic++ dungeons kinda ruined the flow and made a whole raid tier useless to be skipped.
ERA wrath can still work but its up to blizz to add systems to keep all content relevant.
Vanilla ERA only works because it takes a huge amount of time to do anything. Wrath can be finished in a few months.
Originally it was the start of the downfall. People say it had the most people because people were still excited after Wrath. For me personally I hated the changes and not just the talents. Hunters, Mages not having use of two weapons and the removal of stats which came late in CATA was enough for me and I basically quit up until Legion. I bought the expansions but basically raged quit every time because for me the game sucked.

Mages use wands in Cata tho
Also,
At least for mages, they just added mastery as new stat. Hit, Crit, Haste, Armor, Spirit, Int, Stamina, Agi, Strength and SP are basically the same with the only exception that Intellect also gives SP. Even Resistance exists.
Gonna be DoA if Blizz DOES NOT take care of the BOT problem.

It’s not a problem to them. A botter controlling 500 accounts means more to them than you do. And botters means whales, which are their preferred playerbase.
You don’t matter to them.

Honestly… about half of the wrath playerbase will stay for cata.
I myself will keep a sub just to do pvp on my twink alts but I dont plan on doing any end game content because Cata just wasnt fun for me, it was… interesting until that feeling of ‘Ooo this is new, this could be fun!’ faded. There was alot of problems with cata, that hopefully get fixed… but blizz only cares about quick cash grabs it seems so I doubt they will fix any of the issues

If the AH can be an indicator my server, a full server, Whiteman, was down bad in December. AH had about 8k listings at its low point. Down from the usual 13-15k depending when you scanned…
Today it was at 14k listings.
People have already returned to WOTLK but they are just raid logging and selling goods to stock up gold for cata.
Cata will be just fine.
The amount of players trying to push heroic raids will drop significantly though since they are much harder then WOTLK.
Cata won’t be DOA. Blizzard does run the risk of dragging it out too long though. 3 months per phase is adequate. People get bored after 12 weeks of the same content.

It’s new content.
Wow players like new content more than they like the same stale content they’ve had for nearly two years
I just hope permanent wrath classic servers get announced.
