1-Moreover give each spec a usefulness and a relevance through new sets and new content. Tanking Enh shamans, Boomkins, etc.
2-Dual spec. Or simply set up the respec to 1 gold coin, each time.
3-Not sure. Some of these events felt out-of-universe, like the “german orcs” from the Brewfest. Sure it’s a part of wotLK/Retail lore now, but it should stay out of Classic Plus, or with strong revision to have it fit in.
4-We also love the special atmosphere of the old graphics.
I dislike the disney “thick” style of modern graphics (blades especially), but I do prefer the customization level of today’s Barbershop and the transmog as it worked in Cataclysm.
So it’s a hard choice…
My main concerns are:
1- keep the max level at 60
2- stick to the Classic Lore as it was and expand from it without any consideration for BC-Retail Lore (some ideas can be used again, like a Nightborne race for example but coming from a sunken city of Suramar under an underwater dome)
3- stay serious (no Indiana Jones, Rambo or H*tler-like NPCs, no joke-like zones like Cataclysm’s Uldum, Redridge and Badlands)
4- stay meaningful (introduce neutral unlockable races like High Elves, Goblins, even Pandaren, before inventing light-eredar “Draeneï” or “Void elfes”…)
5- stay based (discover Azerothian lands instead of going in the cosmos or other planes)
