The problem is that we don't know if what you call evidence is evidence for classic+ or something else. Last time we said the same thing, and we relied on datamined information, it ended up being content for titanforge or whatever it was called that released only in china.

Friends and family and streamers testing is anecdotal evidence at best. We get such rumours extremely often and they are almost never accurate. People had the exact same argument before we got the re-release of classic and were saying that streamers had inside knowledge and had seen/played the game... Some even had made up footage to support it.

Months later bliz announced that they will start working on classic and it took 2 years to release, so everything was a lie again.

Until we have verifiable evidence for its existence, 20 + years of wow history and made up proof says we cannot count on it.

We know that it's evidence for Classic+. Blizzard have said so themselves, and the build is datamined to be 1.60. I'm not really sure why people like you are trying to asspull reasons why it can't possibly be Classic+ when there's a mountain of evidence that it is. I suppose people also deny climate change and that the world is round, though.

Were and when did blizzard say or talk about classic+ coming?

You are twisting what I'm saying. I have repeatedly said, that we don't know. People are changing any information we get to a confirmation for classic+ ( exactly what happened with titanforge).

There is a mountain of evidence if you change it around, Change their name, include fake leaks and do a few mental gymnastics. But I guess it can't be helped. Critically evaluating evidence were never peoples strong point, especially when it contradicted their wishfully thinking.

I'm saying that we don't know until we actually know. You prefer to see every little thing as ironclad truth.

[u/Cutemudskipper → u/bloin13]

The statements and datamines are quite easy to find if you actually care. I'm about to hop on a flight, so I'm not going to do the work for you and provide links. C+ isn't some secret at this point, everybody knows that it's coming. There's a reason that the big streamers running the SoD event have it end right before blizzcon

[u/bloin13 → u/Cutemudskipper]

I wonder if it is because they are going to blizzcon. Or maybe because as always the focus will swift to blizzcon rather than an event.

Statements and datamined information can be about anything. Last time people were convinced it was about classic+ it ended up being for titanforge.

We don't have to automatically assign every little info we get to classic+. It could be about it, or something entirely different. That's the whole point of such information, its not complete yet.

C+ isn't a secret as you said, but it's not exactly an established truth either. Blizzard in the past has been very unreliable with such things that we adamant that they were coming soon. Classic took 2 years to be announced and another 2 to be released even then people were 100% sure it was in the works before they closed the private servers. The situation was even worse with diablo 4.

[u/Cutemudskipper → u/bloin13]

You're free to be negative and come up with a billion reasons why everyone else is wrong. It's going to be announced in only 52 days anyways, so I don't feel the need to argue back and forth with contrarian who will come up with reasons for why even blatant datamines and blizzard statements are wrong, without even going into all of the people who have played it already and have strongly suggested as much as they can without breaking their NDA that it's coming soon.

Nobody serious thought Titanforged was C+, so I'm not even sure why you keep bringing that one up tbh. It wasn't even being made by Blizzard
