It wasn't too hard to level crafting on mules as far as I remember, I think I had a few to convert. Most annoying part was like the mats around lvl 20 or so like silver and what not which were always expensive cause people outleveled it too fast and as Horde the nodes were all over the fucking barrens. As Alliance you could get silver in that low level dungeon under Stormwind or something iirc so it wasn't as bad.
I remember the stupidest shit about vanilla.

I remember dire maul being a pretty nice area to farm arcane crystals. There was a guaranteed three or so rich thorium nodes at the end of the wing with the satyr boss and almost all of the trash was skipable.

Ahhh it wasn't the stupidest shit though...it was all the little quirks that made it great. That we'd never put up with again.

Besides the rose-colored glasses circlejerk. What else could be new regarding classic? Isn't that the point of it, to go back to the good ol' days?

I think of classic WoW as prime Jenny McCarthy, Jenna Jameson in her prime, Jena Haze, Gauge, the chick from ideepthroat.com, back when the landing strip was the way to go. Pamela Anderson was still hot and aids/hep free making shitty movies like barbed wire.
Alicia Silverstone and Areosmiths daughter were making videos of lesbian sex. Everything was extreme advertising of Doritos and Mountain Dew. Arnold was still an action hero and not an old fogey. The Martix was cuttIng edge shit and people pretended to like Limp Bisquit and Dane Cook. Anyways the point is I wanna 40 man raid molten core for fun.

I just can't imagine this being successful for more than a few months unless they do it as a progression server (in which case I think it would be wildly successful). One of my biggest problems with WoW is that the release of content was always too slow to keep me playing from one content patch to the next.
I would release a progression server and keep it moving forward until either Cataclysm or Pandaria, and then release a second progression server starting from scratch. Have them progress at about twice the speed that live did. Once the first progression server caught up to live just allow everyone to server transfer to another realm and start the server over from scratch. That way you you always have two progression servers cycling through the content significantly far enough apart from each other to keep them both interesting. I think that would keep many people, even the ones who hate the new content and just want to raid and dungeon crawl through earlier iterations, constantly coming back.

This is where I was on Emerald Dream. There started to be murmurs of bad shit going down and I couldn't continue to invest so much of my time. Damn shame as I was gonna be a badass rogue with TF when that second binding dropped.

My rogue soloing much of brd and farming flame dude for cash was good times. Before more normalization was fun out thinking people in pvp duels.
But my fondest memory, being in scrub guild that shat out ashkanfi every other week to real guilds horror. Friend and I both ashkandi warriors and priest friend dominating BGs.... Was silly near end of vanilla moving into one of the real raid guilds and actually doing pretty well in naxx despite being only a mishmash of AQ and below gear. Actually rifles some feathers of people i showed up that overgeared me.

tl;dr WoW classic/vanilla will start with the 1.12 patch mechanics/fixes/changes.

Glad to see there is some progress even if its glacial.
The only thing I would like to see different from 1.12 is some more talent balancing so trees are not useless. But that's pretty risky so they probably shouldn't mess with it.

I wouldn't hate a numbers pass to try to tune massively underperforming specs up to at least being mediocre. But a ton of people *would* hate that, even if the "best" classes remained the best. Every Shaman's life goal is to be Nightfall Bitch long enough to scrounge together a Sulfuras and quit the guild to go PVPing.
