Why would I do that when I’ve asked for, waited for and fought for an authentic Blizzard classic experience for longer than most people have known these forums existed?
I knew what I wanted, I knew what I was asking for, I knew how modern people would play the old game. I had all of that information available to me beforehand, as did you. There’s no reason and no excuse for you to not know things would be like this when you signed up.
You can’t make the game like it was by changing the game. That’s outright idiotic and it’s a failed calculation.
You can’t change a part of the game and just hope that players head in the direction that you want them to. They’re not going to do that, that experiment has already been tested.
Private servers seperated queues. The result was that the premade queue was only useable by the top end players, and the solo queue was infested by bots and AFKers. Is that the Vanilla experience you want?
Furthermore, your campaign is utterly self-righteous. Will seperate battleground queues also stop a large fraction of the playerbase from clearing raids? How about raids downed in a day? Will seperate queues stop people from only gathering herbs that are useful for raid potions?
No, it wont do any of that. All it’ll do is screw casual premades over.
“Unauthentic” my right butt cheek. People back in the day premaded too. Less people did it, because less people were experienced with the game. Less people were end game focussed and less people even knew what they were doing.
Nothing you’ve said kills my argument, nor does any of it even have a leg to stand on. You want to bring back an impossible experience. Each person’s experience of Vanilla was different to somebody else’s, there’s no possible way AT ALL for everybody to relive their experience, some contradict others.
Some people remember pre-BWL Vanilla, some people remember pre-BG Vanilla, others only remember pre-TBC Vanilla. They were all different.
You thought you did and it turns out you don’t. If you want changes to Classic, you never wanted Classic in the first place.
Cold hard reality.
You should probably just go back to posting single sentences to snippets of posts. And while you’re at it; you might want to go to retail, too.
Speaking of retail. Wanna know how retail ended up like it did? Because of people complaining about things not being fair or accessible. Because of people wanting to be seperated from other players.
Which is exactly where “seperate BG queues” leads us.
