I need my subtle racism and misogyny blizzard. #NoChanges
They replaced that model in 2007. They probably lost the old one for good.

The only solution is for blizzard to contact their upstream providers and request null routes from the attacking IPs, preferably by country. But if it's a ddos from compromised dumb devices like thermostats in the US and such not from one country, nothing you can do but wait. It's why it's such a good attack.
The truly worst part about the whole IOT problem is how the companies putting millions of them on the internet refuse to adapt standard good practices when it comes to security, and politicians all over the world are completely out of touch and unable to even grasp the problem that compromised "smart" devices represent, so they don't get why they need to force manufacturers not to build them that way.

This problem has been shouted from the rooftops for half a decade now and absolutely nothing is happening.

Genie is pretty buggy. A good old "/console reloadui" may already do the trick.

With that said, it could also be a configuration problem.
In the Genie options Genie -> Bags you can disable to sort certain inventory or bank bags:

Then you can get pretty esoteric with the ranking editor, e.g. to automatically sort your Hearthstone, Mining Pick and other stuff like Potions/Bandages to the last slots and keep it there.

What most likely happened: You toggled the config mode (Shift-Rightclick which is separate from the Ranking Editor) and added the item to the ignore list:

So on my Warrior, where everything is working fine, I had most of my bags checked, which means Ignore them, right? It was still sorting all my inventory. On my Mage all the bags were checked, and it was SOOOOO lagged when clicking the boxes. So weird. Managed to get them all unchecked, so hopefully it should all work again.

Today, Saturday, September 7, the World of Warcraft service has been negatively impacted by an ongoing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. For several hours today, we’ve repeatedly seen WoW realms targeted and taken offline by the attacker(s).
It is our top priority to resolve any issues that prevent players from being able to smoothly play World of Warcraft. However, it is the nature of DDoS attacks that players may experience the game becoming unavailable. If you are disconnected or have issues logging in, please be patient and wait a few minutes before trying again.
We will continue to work to address the situation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Well was up for about 15 minutes that time.

That twitter is suspended now too, so that dude is probably even more emo now, since no attention.

If he is in another country? I hope some specialists pay him a visit and dismember his body.

Also, in your envisioned alt-expansion, what does the player do? There are raids, pvp....what else? If I hate PVP and I either hate raiding or raiding literally it just 1 day out of my week, what am I doing in your expansion?
The same thing you did in Vanilla? Given that the whole premise of Classic is that people liked Classic more than the evolution of it, then you'd try to stick closer to the gameplay.
No new classes also stagnates a game. Even EQ1 added new classes. You also needed a "neutral" unifying factor in WOTLK, because 2 sides fighting each other = Lich King wins. It's just simple math: If 2 enemies keep fighting each other, then their shared enemy usually wins because they didn't waste resources weakening their enemy. You make the story more contrived if one side "can do it alone", because you're basically saying that side > the shared enemy + the regular rival enemy.
Each side ends up WTFpwning the big bads on their own. Every time. So, meh.

Or you can go further, and embrace what people have clamored for years: allow the two sides to ally with each other. Truly ally themselves. Group up, everything (except on PvP servers, of course).

The reason I'd skip the DK here is that each new class introduced broke the basic system. Each new class went neutral: they have their own faction, their own reputation, their own common headquarters... but no, they're still split in Horde/Alliance version at the instant they leave their floating necropolis. I'd solve that conundrum before trying to introduce a new class. Besides, since we skipped BC, then we'd have paladin/shaman added for the rerollers.


But eh. That's my napkin take of Alt-WoW Classic™. We all know nobody's going to do that ever.

Servers came up from maintenance, but then I got stuck in Ironforge (Pagle), so I assume this DDOS stuff will go on all weekend. /yawn
