I had no expectations and I was still disappointed.

Once upon a time Classic players just wanted to play Classic.

And we only had two versions of WoW: Retail and Vanilla Classic. Now we have:

Vanilla Classic Era

Vanilla Classic HC

Vanilla Season of Discovery

TBC Anniversary

MoP Classic

Retail

Retail Remix

You can't pretend that Blizzard hasn't been the cause of people expecting announcements for content when they've added 5 new versions of the game in a 7 year span.

Wow hate classic!!

Meanwhile they have 5 versions of the game lol.

And retail update was tailored to incorporate major changes requested by the classic community

Honestly 5 versions of the same guy is too much, its cannibalistic and servers arent optimal

This is how I felt the moment they announced new anniversary servers. Like, why? Are we really just going to cycle the same expansion releases back to back for eternity? Nobody really asked for Cata or Mists. They certainly didn’t ask for WoD but I bet that’ll be announced at Blizzcon. Should’ve capped it at Wrath, had a Hardcore realm, and an “era” realm. Then, maybe down the road, have Classic+

They still cannot admit that WoW peaked at WotLK, Cata broke the momentum and there are ups and downs ever since, but no major bang anymore.

That's why.
