    This obsession and claim that blizzard “doesn’t ban bots and rmt” just isn’t true. Compared to original vanilla, blizzard bans WAY more bots/rmt than they ever have. This is a statistical truth and no amount of anecdotal whining can disprove it. I feel like you clowns have forgotten about original wow where we had org and sw completely COVERED in corpses that spelled out the URL of RMT sites. You cannot ever totally eliminate rmt and instead of whining and making it your sole deciding factor when playing wow, it’s time to move on and stop acting like children. RMT and even gdkps have never affected me even once, nor have they affected any good player. There’s a reason you never hear guys like ahlaundoh complaining about rmt but instead it’s a complaint dominated by people like asmongold or Defcamp/melderon - green parsing clowns who don’t even play classic wow and haven’t in years. As usual, this guy said he “wasn’t planning on coming back to wow” and now a month later he’s making videos about classic wow. Yall are addicted. Probably the sole thing he said that is true is that the overwhelming majority of players absolutely do NOT just want another fresh vanilla. That’s what people like alexensual and kargoz want. People who openly have said they “don’t find vanilla fun past BWL”. They like leveling, getting pre bis, doing mc once, then asking for a new fresh. If that’s what you do on vanilla, you don’t actually like vanilla. Becsuse the best raiding experiences come POST bwl.

Something to change raids so its not just following deadly boss mods to avoid the gunk on the ground, Maybe some dungeons/raids that are progressive in different ways?

Have you looked at their node system/world changing based on what players do? What would ideal moderation in an mmorpg look like? Do we know what kinda tools are available to GMs for this? Does Unreal engine 5 add any functions? If you would change crafting to make it more interesting in classic + what would you do? I think archaeology could have alot of depth for lore and interesting things if they bring it to classic with the right balance. Jewelcrafting could be valid too! Some better cooking recipes etc.

    I think private servers are going to be the main source of classic wow play going forward. Turtle wow 2.0 has me about as excited as I was for the classic wow 2019. I tune in for news on it weekly. I tried sod for a month and it just didn’t do it for me. I’m a dad gamer so I don’t have time to raid, and even doing a dungeon can be rough sometimes, so the open world is everything. Turtle wow 2.0 is something I can play at my leisure and it’s new and it will be popping off. I heard through the grapevine even asmondgold is excited about it, which means he will even be playing in his spare time. Blizzard just can’t get that level of hype in its current shape.

    It’s a good thing they don’t listen to clowns like you then, because no one wants what you want. Go play on a private server if you want that. Factiok balance is also not at all important and it’s a detriment to the game, which is why on vanilla, tbc, wotlk, and now sod, players have all flocked to large one sided servers. No one wants balanced servers. It’s something clowns who don’t even play the game think sounds good. Those who play the game see how bad “balanced” servers are. Look at sod before the server transfers. Getting a DMF buff took an hour due to loser “world PvP” campers”

    Love these ideas. Changes are not necessarily bad, but the changes need to really be in line with the soul of vanilla. I think adding more open world dungeons with elite mobs would be a ton of fun. There are plenty of unfinished zones that could be populated with new outdoor dungeons with quest lines and everything. THAT kind of stuff sounds exciting. Not just throwing retail spells into the game. We dont need wicked OP gear or spells added, just more substance to the world that blends into vanilla rather than just stuff ontop of vanilla. I hope they consider the ideas you've presented here.

    Agree with Melderon and J1mmy here. Commenting specifically on both Halo 5 and Infinite; they are considered garbage jokes... They were flashes in the pan with little to no staying power. Those games play into the nostalgia argument. Lots of people rush in and play them early but it falls off because the quality isn't there. Hell I'd argue that most Modern WoW expacs rely on nostalgia to get people hyped up to play them more than Classic does. Melderon, your nostalgia vs quality analogy with getting people to knock on the door of a party vs staying there is very apt. edit: also Asmon latching onto Brighter Shores and using that as potential proof of his nostalgia argument is just so wrong. Brighter Shores is going to succeed or fail on its own merits. One of the things the creators are aiming for is to minimize grindy gameplay which is something that OSRS really leans into at the behest of their players. I dunno, I think he's completely barking up the wrong tree even talking about Brighter Shores

    i think they definitely went a bit overboard with SOD. i hope if they do make a classic plus they don't stray to far from classic. like you said Melderon most of community wanted minor changes that classic was lacking. for example make ret and enhancement shamans a thing, make boomkins a thing and druids not have to farm crowd pummelers. also have shamans and paladins be viable tanks. like they dont have to be crazy strong or be able to compete with Warriors for dps or anything but just make it so they are not meme specs. I also think GDKP's are a good thing to have. i see GDKP's as more of a Pugging thing, guilds will always do MS>OS. people who couldn't co ordinate with a guild had the options to run PUGS who do GDKP and if they don't have gold to get what they want they can at least experience the raid and also get some gold out of it for next time. im a person who likes to play one character for my MMO's, GDKP's gave me a reason to still do things like molten to get some gold even though i didn't need any loot from it. it kept a lot of players invested when it came to endgame for sure especially for people who had alts and wanted to pug for some gear or gold. i also think your idea about the hall of fame/multiverse thing is a very good idea. they would be able to milk classic for so many years and the players would be happy. i played wow for the first time when classic came out i have cleared all raids and dungeons and i would still be down to run a fresh server of classic+ with some small changes to all the meme specs.
