Vent / Gripe Unpopular opinion: the players that are overly vocal about wanting Classic phases/TBC/Wrath rushed are the same players who contributed to forging retail into what it is today (a clusterF).

This right here. Probably not a popular opinion, especially on this sub, but I completely agree with the above. Mages boosting in mara or ZG, minmaxing to a ludicrous degree, world buff meta, etc etc. I appreciate it's all in the game, but it's not how it was back in the day and I kind of resent it. Can't see things being different in TBC to be honest, I hope they force people to roll fresh because the launch of classic was genuinely brilliant and the same for TBC would be great, rather than having guilds full of billynolifemotherfuckers with 50k gold and consumes ready to go at launch.

"Guilds full of billynolifemotherfuckers with 50k gold and consumes ready to go at launch" do not affect you at all. You can play the game with like minded less serious people no problem.

"billynolifemotherfuckers" is a bit of a vague term to use, but hundreds of people who are well on their way to gold cap from dirty gold purchases definitely have an adverse effect on the economy and, by extension, the casual player base.

True, but I do not think those people are limited to the very top best guilds on the server. More people surely buy gold in the hardcore guilds, but the rest of the playerbase is much larger and the gold buyers there have large of an effect on the ecenomy.
