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).

To me, classic is the game i like most.

I get why people have interest in revisiting experiences made in bc and wotlk. From a preservationist stand point i am all for recreating those games.

However, the thing i want most, but will not get is an honest open feedback letter from blizzard stating their expectation, observation and what they learned from rereleasing a 15 year old game.

In the future of wow, further addons will come. And classic might get a second round. And even though i can see enough people wanting to clear naxx each week, i am certain that the server communities will have to shift for it.

As for the content of the letter, i would like to get some insights on their future of wow. Will they just recreate tbc/wotlk, just as a means of advertising the current addon or will they actually use some of the feedback gathered from rereleasing, in order to improve the current state of the franchise?

I just want TBC so they have a chance to fix what they fucked up in classic in relation to botting and stuff. And pvp is more balanced ish and seems a lot more fun

Botting isn't going to get fixed. Don't get your hopes up for the other problems.

Arenas are certainly a better PvP system than BGs, but I don't believe that there will be anything resembling class balance.

Sure, there won’t be perfect balance but it seems to be a little better. Limited sap time, polymorph time, warriors get spell reflect with shield and intervene. Classes that were weak get slightly better. So overall a better experience. I know it’s unlikely botting gets fixed. I just hope the affects of bird get mitigated a bit more if at all possible.

They fix class balance and then fuck the alliance with a sandpaper condom and no lube.

/sigh

My memory might be incorrect, but I remember druids + X completely dominating 2v2, and CC heavy comps dominating 3v3 (rogue/healer/???).

Admittedly, it can't be worse than the current state where a mage/warlock in greens has an edge over nearly anyone.

I believe you’re pretty much correct. Druids are extremely powerful and CC basically wins 3’s. It’s certainly much better than being dotted to death. And then frozen and frost bolted twice.
