LOL, blizzard already added a brand new major feature to classic that did not even exist in original TBC: HvH battlegrounds.
You might as well flush all those “no changes” dreams right down the toilet where blizzard put them. 
Bring on dual spec and cross realm LFD baby!
“We’d love to have you join our Raid team as DPS. But we will require that your second spec be Resto, and have acceptable gear.”
“I don’t have Dual Spec, I don’t feel it is necessary”
“Well then, we’ll have to find someone else who does have it then, Good luck”
That’s a guild making the game awful, not dual spec.
This will be the case for less than 1% of the player base
Sweats being sweats lol. I look forward to wotlk, with it’s eventual dual spec and dungeon finder. Ya’ll can cram onto the two TBC servers and keep doing things the sweaty way if ya want while the rest of us move on.
I guess you weren’t on the forums much during Vanilla and TBC. Duel spec was wanted during that time too, which they finally caved and provided in Wraith.
Duel spec helps the game way more than hurt it.
You think you do, and you actually do, but we are going to do every thing in our power to make sure you don’t - Blizzard
Everybody won’t play as you remember.
Manifestly, it’s nowhere near a requirement, or no one would have ever played arena in pre-WotLK versions of the game.
The other part of what you said is almost accurate. Dual spec’s sole function would be: Remove a gold sink and let people spend less WoW money. And no matter how you dress that up, it’s not actually a positive thing.
Well I’m gonna have to disagree with you on both of those. But I’m quite tired of typing out paragraphs for random dudes on the internet over a hypothetical argument
Disagree that people are somehow playing arena now and did in original BC if it pleases you, but I wouldn’t recommend walking through fire because you’ve decided to disagree that it burns.
it’s one mega server and usually to offset imbalance issues Alliance gets stuff like free respecs and free mounts - and even that doesn’t stop it
actualllyyyy, private servers did alot of adjustments in this regard, few pservers do true vanilla, they adjust things for the better.
That’s not what I’m addressing, I’m addressing the “meta” that happened on pservers, or provided the information that lead to the meta that happened in classic.
Its no different then now where I just don’t respec and I raid log.
“Its no different then now where I just don’t respec and I raid log.”
Well then there’s no reason to change anything, is there?
(How I wish this site would let me directly quote the person right before me.)
It does.
The reason for the change was clearly described by the devs back then.
" Nethaera : Why are we allowing players to dual spec after all this time?
Ghostcrawler : We really felt like this was a great way to increase the flexibility available to players and encourage them to take part in more aspects of the game. To use just one example, some players like to participate in both raids and Arenas, which is awesome behavior that we want to promote. But, there are some talents which are more useful in one part of the game than another. Currently, players have to pay respec costs and go through the process of setting up the desired talent spec and action bars whenever they switch.
The new system makes this a much more logical process, saving on time and cost and allowing players to easily move from one aspect of the game to another."
Oh, well. If they said it was an improvement, then clearly it was, and obviously Modern is the superior game just like Brack said and there’s no point to playing Classic at all!
In all seriousness, someone who says and means “if I don’t have dual spec I’ll just ‘raid log’” is not someone I would want the game changed to accommodate anyway; that way lies most of the game’s content being marginalized again.
