Blizzard legitimately is no longer. It's basically a WOW TBC Gold shell from Activision, Bobby Kotick money taking advantage of every opportunity. Expect nothing new, nothing classic and will never be seen. It's going cost money and imagination to develop. Have fun with TBC, Wrath, and possibly a SOM later. But then stop. The situation won't improve as there will never be any new things to say.

it is hard to take pleasure in when you see the level of play. I can only imagine what it will be like when Wrath comes out. It's only a matter minutes before blizzard informs us that we can purchase gold directly from them since it's much "safer" and because it's something that people clearly want. I'm disappointed by what they've brought to the game. It's both classic and retail. Unfortunately, they aren't able to erase my memories of playing this game as a child at the time, they'll never touch that :)

In a perfect world, blizzard will clamp on third party gold selling sites and ban any player who uses those platforms, and also not integrate their own gold for cash shop like in retail, which they'll eventually do. Character increase is also a challenge for the economy. While it doesn't help any profession, it can give players all they need. Based on the evidence from botting problems, but it doesn't help any profession. What will you do?

It's not because they can't afford it. It's about why we should be paying for a sub to play content which isn't going to provide the same experience we had when we played it? When they're going to half-ass it and insist on more money. This has become a simple cash grab game with more handholding and spoon feeding.

The small changes to SOM ensure that it'll suffer the same fate as the classic. The "first step" is not sufficient. There are so many simple changes that be implemented in a matter of minutes that can result in large-scale changes and create the experience unique. The simple answer is that blizzard doesn't have ambition anymore. Thus OP post of dissatisfaction exists.

Bots and gold inflation, cost of consumption that is soul crushing. "Buffing bosses" doesn't mean harder work, simply more obligations to be supplemented by more consumables. The players will be compelled to doing gdkps. Classic was fun. However, AQ and Naxx made the game less enjoyable.

Those were mega server problems. It was amazing having servers with 3.5k users. If you are able to farm your own consumes, you don't need to pay any more. Inb4 not enough nodes there's cheap WOW Classic TBC Gold a mega-server problem. Servers with vanilla like populations never faced a problem.
