I agree with you Grimseethe.

WoW Classic is not the perfect game. It is a great game, but it is not flawless. It could be improved. But will it be improved? I think that is unlikely. If we still had people like Kevin Jordan (original game designer for WoW) working on the game, then maybe it would be possible to make changes to Classic WoW such as balancing the classes, retuning raids, etc.

But the company that created WoW and the company that now creates WoW are entirely different. Frankly, I don't trust them to be able to make changes to the game without making it worse. They don't have a good track record. I think we should all be grateful that we are getting a version of WoW that is almost exactly the same as the original game was. To ask for something more than that, to ask for an even better game, may be too much to ask.

Sounds like a cool idea. I bet a good number of people would join a guild like this. Plenty of players started in TBC or Wrath and haven't done any of the Classic content.

I think the best solution is to reduce the respec cost to 10-20g. I think that would improve the game. We shouldn't punish players for being flexible and filling multiple roles in PvE, or enjoying both PvE and PvP and switching between specs often. With the high respec costs it seems like the people who are most engaged with the game are punished for it.

In the end though it's not a huge problem if things stay the same. I can see Blizzard wanting to avoid changes like this, even if they are best for the game, simply because they want to avoid the slippery slope of one change leading into many changes and the disaster that could potentially happen as a result.

I'm planning to go Horde Warrior (Tank at 60) but will consider Alliance if the person is a great fit. Looking for a healer ideally but could work with a rogue who is highly motivated. Healer preference is Shaman > Priest > Druid > Paladin. Planning to play 16 hrs per day for the first week of launch to get to 60. After hitting 60 I'll play an average of about 12 hrs per day to gear up in dungeons.

Theorycrafting/practicing/optimizing our leveling route beforehand on private servers is mandatory to build our muscle memory and our cohesion as players. If you're interested hit me up here or on discord Morph#4209.
