Every decision Blizzard has made regarding classic has been bad. Layering to server roll out to server performance to patch progression to batching. It’s just baffling. Then to do a complete 180 on layering and crap all over the economy/world boss competition etc etc.
This will get meme’d and blizzard won’t read or care but I’ve said my piece.
If a small percentage of people would realize private servers were better we would all enjoy ourselves more.
Classic was developed solely to kill private servers.
It’s doing its job.
They weren’t Blizz-like, that’s for sure.
whine whine whine… thats all so many of you do, is just whine.
This thread is going to be so upbeat!
Huh. One of the most iconic, and best, parts of classic is part of your complaint? That can only mean…
Ahhh, I knew it. A private server shill. Go back to your 5x experience fun servers and leave us out of it already.
There’s more than a small amount of people that think that right now. You’re all still going to raid every single week for the next year on Blizzard’s Classic.
None of you have the willpower to leave.
To be fair, plenty of people who never played private servers think batching is a mistake.
I want to play 2004 WoW, not on 2004 internet. Getting hit by something after I hit vanish is terrible.
If anything they are fixing the economy .
I have fun playing WoW Classic.
Thanks for the game Blizz.
Me too, @Tugo 
The problem is that Activision bought Blizzard.
Here is a potential cash cow for years, but no. They’d rather hire the bare minimum and just milk it for the short term.
private servers were much more blizzlike than blizzard’s classic, and thats a fact
don’t forget they put in cross-realm BGs, when same-server BGs with paid xfers would have single-handedly saved the imbalanced server population and sorted out all the mistakes they made until then. It also would have made premade vs pug way less prevalent, and added to the community feeling of vanilla. Instead they gave x-realm BGs with AV meta giving free rank 14 to many botters and afkers.
lol.
well, its because of sunken cost fallacy. If I could reverse time and just not play, I 100% would.
this is the reason im still playing and its the reason so many people still play. i know its easy for yall to feel good by pointing and laughing with big daddy blizzard behind your back when you just blindly shill for anything they say they are going to do.
People can bash private server players all they want but us private server players are the most passionate about this version of the game. Some of us have been playing vanilla WoW for 5+ years. Us private server players are the reason classic is even here for everyone to enjoy. Us private server players know what steps to take to make classic great.
You know, I’m actually shocked Blizzard didn’t hire the Nostalrius team from the beginning… imagine how much better everything would be if they were running the classic show?
I get the feeling that Classic was primarily propped up by Blizzard just so they’d have the legal excuse to squash any and all private servers since they can do a better job than any of the resources they can allocate to it.
I’ve only dabbled lightly in private servers but frankly a lot more effort and care went into them than what we have now, I don’t remember the server but on at least one they had an event where you had to jump from floating table to floating table to reach a summit of tables in the Gurubashi Arena…until people cheated using teleports and they blew everyone up.
Except there’s no material reward at the end of this “arduous” journey you’re taking. Why would you continue to sink more time into the game if it’s causing you so much grief?
You’re posturing; none of this really bothers you.
