I think people playing live will be too intrigued by the masses of people moving to classic when it goes live, hell what major streamers are even actively playing BFA at this point? People will want to be a part of that excitement.
Classic is going to at least start out as a huge hit and BFA will be a ghost town. They have some major decisions coming up, I'm not sure how you salvage it other than actually working on WoW 2.0
How do they get people to quit their new hard earned Classic characters (that will likely see TBC at some point) to go back to live? What is left there to mine for them?
What I'd like to see them do is bring TBC in but not flying mounts. Figure out alternate ways for people to get to places you needed it for. (flight paths/portals)
Well, that was quick. I found out about Will It Classic - A Community driven source for up to date information on addons for Classic WoW and there is someone making an LFG/LFR addon for classic:
GitHub - fbrusch-ik/wow-classic-lfg-lfr: An implementation of the LFG and LFR Protocols to enable random raiding like in retail.

LFR yesThats another thing that ruined WoW IMO was the entire LFG and LFR bullshit. I know this has been argued to death around here, but years later you can see the impact it had on the game and pretty much all negative.
Ehhhh, just play retail if you want dungeon finder? Maybe I'm being silly about it but why? Thought we were going back to vanilla.Well, that was quick.

They shouldn't be designing the top tier of raiding for only the tip top fucking master DDR players. You get to a point where your guild is just wasting fucking time because you know without removing the weaker players and replacing them you'll never fucking beat the encounter. I don't mind SOME level of that, but I think they've gone too far in that direction for the health of the game.
Yep, and the differing difficulties creates that environment. I was always the type to endlessly push for us to beat all the hardmode shit, but then you have half the fucking guild going, WHATS THE FUCKING POINT?The games fun is about community and chatting it up with your buds. Not getting rid of your buds from your raid team because, yeah, they kinda suck and replacing them with autists that can do the wow raid dance better. I think they miss out on the entire grand 10,000 ft view of what this game is really about.
LFR yes
LFG you gotta be braindead to not enjoy that luxury
I explained why thats a problem. I don't mind shit being difficult, but if you give people an easy way out half the fucking people in the guild won't want to put up with 300 wipes.You could always just play the difficulty below the top.
You want them to give you final fantasy difficulty instead of dark souls at the top because you can't control yourself
I understand what you guys are saying - but you're basically saying "this is the highest level of difficulty I want to do, so EVERYONE else should only do that too"I explained why thats a problem.

I personally just think they went too far in the difficulty direction to appease too few people. Things can still be difficult without being ball crushingly hard.I understand what you guys are saying - but you're basically saying "this is the highest level of difficulty I want to do, so EVERYONE else should only do that too"
