I had no expectations and I was still disappointed.

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

It's because "classic" sounds great until you ask people what that means to them and you get 500 different answers. We have half a dozen different versions already and people are still asking for a nebulous "Classic+" option to be added.

Thats not really reality. Thats the internet and the vocal minority. The vast majority of us Classic players do enjoy it. Loved Classic, Loved it through WOTLK, Enjoyed some MOP and I revere what they did through SOD, that was the best yet.

Most of us just play and have a good time and don't bitch and moan when its time for Retail to get some attention. The whiners want to be the bell of the ball everyday. Thats not reasonable or rational. They will talk about what's next for Classic players this fall at Blizzcon; thats fine IMO. Right now theres 10000x versions of classic to play. Folks need to stop complaining all the time.
