You people know SoD exists right?

I think a streamed 40 man mage only raid would be fun to watch!

They said they aren’t opposed to changes.

Get used to it!

It’s similar to human factor engineering.

All specs are viable but when the disparities are large, the humans on the other side of the keyboard gravitate towards a consensus that they collectively deem as true—filling that raid spot with a warrior is vastly preferable to all other options.

Humans gonna human.

If you can raid with empty slots then the bar for viability is not “can this spec be present for a successful raid completion?” Even if we were to ignore the fact that not contributing equally to your raid feels bad, and having lower output meaning that the difference between you doing well and you doing poorly approaches null feels bad, the reality is that what the community considers viable is what’s viable. The game doesn’t not dictate viability because we play in the real world and not hypotheticals.

If you play a “meme spec” you will have, say, 10% the success rate as a “real” spec at getting into a raid, and then if you get into a raid you’ll have probably a 1% chance of actually being treated equally with regards to character progression. On top of that the odds are that the raids/guilds you do get into will be of poorer quality players. Arguing that a spec’s performance is irrelevant is disingenuous and an embarrassingly stupid position besides.

Sadly it’s not like people Devilfroot actually believe their own bullhorse. Vanilla purists are just fundamentally incapable of discussing the game in good faith. They aren’t trying to progress conversations forward so much as they see words as puzzle pieces that if put together correctly will get them closer to what they want.

Obviously I’m still here fighting the good fight, but ultimately it’s not like even if you get them to acknowledge X and Y that they will accept the necessary conclusion of Z. Even if you managed to get them to do the first part they’ll just move the goalposts or simply deny reality.

Killed the hype for me sadly.

blizz will buckle eventually.

its amazing seeing this said when you got what… 3? 4? iterations of vanilla since 2019.

brainrot.

we never asked for anything else so your comment means nothing

Tech every version had some kind of change.

Brainrot.

Okay heres my view coming from a Retail player and Classic/Sod player: This is not Classic +, this is not SOD. This is Classic Fresh which means “New restart” Classic Realms. This does not include the “changes”. They’re shouldnt be changes. Im not gatekeeping but this is a fact. People who want changes to these servers need a reality check. If u want a Barber,Xmog, etc etc…go to a private server or Retail. This is not ment for changes and such. Apparently, people who want changes are just visiting from Retail because they are bored with M+ and raiding right now. Go play SOD or stay and accept that these are RESTART Realms not a CHANGE. Like it or not learn to accept it and have a reality check. #keepnochanges .

doesnt matter even if its the slightest bud, its all in azeroth based around your content that u want to play. no matter how small of a change there is. call it what u want, but it is what it is. plus u can stay on era, theres already changes in fresh and more are bound to come. enjoy

alot of people did. since the dawn of time ppl have been asking for qol changes for vanilla. get out from under ur rock little guy dont rp to hard now…

theres already changes, people want qol stuff more are bound to come. enjoy

My old raid team when gearing for content would do MC with 20 because we could double the loot output. We were playing more optimally in respect to class, but you dont need “optimal” at all in vanilla.

The only people who do are top end GDKP / Speed clear teams.

The rest are just being idiots pretending to parse

Vanilla was released in 2004 and I don’t remember Chronoboon being in it. Even in #nochanges we had changes.

Also haven’t touched Era in years because of the GDKP trash. I’m an actual fresh enjoyer. Not a tourist.

So to say we have had it 3-4 times is just a blatant lie.

One day maybe get to taste Vanilla. 2019 is as close as I’m getting though it seems.

People literally just want a “vanilla” that exists with their ONE little change of preference.(wah paladin taunt etc)

That’s really what it boils down to. People whining that they prefer their PB&J with no crust but everything else is fine.

Get over it.

If you don’t like Classic then there’s like 500 other options. Stop begging for your one little preference change, it’s annoying and you’re an entitled baby.

OK… I get it, I really do…

BUT here is the problem with your logic.

Your one personal change that is harmless to you is just but 1 of a thousand other little changes that everyone else wants.

You personally cannot say YOU are more important than everyone else.

This is why “No changes” is BiS.

Not saying this is you personally, but the people asking for “just one little thing”

no you all just choose to see it as u want. just b/c u can get chrono boons it doesnt mean it completely change the game. its an iteration of vanilla like i said up there^ of course the base 2004 release version is going to be different than EVERY OTHER VERSION THAT WILL EVER BE RELEASED. you know why? b/c it absolutely blows. im betting only 5-10% of ppl actually want 2004 vanilla again. stop playing dumb. 1: 2019 launch 2: SOM 3: HC 4: This fresh. theres ur 4. now go away u braindead clown

I don’t think you followed my post at all but cool I g. I played private servers and world buffed every week without chronoboons. Not really disagreeing with you.

Can I perhaps sell you a capitol letter? Or mayhaps a comma?
