Having my character since Classic do all the things since Classic. Been benched since end of Cata and an alt… I can try and do Loremaster and grind reps etc per expansion but it’s not the same.
I regret not starting not to use flying earlier. I’ve learned to appreciate those little details around azeroth you nowadays miss.
You especially miss alot of half naked night elves, which is terrible.
I didn’t like the MoP Challenge Mode armour set and transmog wasn’t really a big thing back then. For collection purposes I wish I’d bothered now. I dropped out of our group after getting the mount part done and made way for someone else who did want the armour set.
Part of me regrets not getting Tyrael’s Charger but I really hated Cataclysm and stopped playing. I’m not sure I could ever have justified paying a sub when I wasn’t playing. But I still missed out on a nice mount.
I regret not getting the priest challenge mode set.
I got the shaman one instead.
Vendoring the full Undead Slayer’s Blessed armour set (leather) from undead invasions since my bank was full. Same for the full Cadaverous Garb set from old Scholomance. All the transmogs… 
- MoP challenge without Mythic +.
- Quest and progression harder like Classic.
- Master Loot and “greed or need” / “round robin”.
- As a group, round robin loot on corpse.
- Lower statistics/golds/level/damage/heal/all the maths from the game.
- Mage Tower.
- No allied races, just add new skin on existing race instead of making new race.
- Raid as the single source of truth for best loot.
- No titanforge/warforge.
- Pre-socketed item, not RNG socket.
- Head socket.
- Real craft and pattern hard to get.
- No flying mount.
- No catch-up, only at the end of the extension.
- Unique class design.
- Less things in the game (500+ mount ? Really ?).
- No achievements.
- Stats transformation with reforge.
- Real World Boss (like Oondasta).
- No azerithe/neck/AP system.
- No time gate.
- Raid with more than 10 boss.
- Dungeons length increased (~1 hours and some dungeons ~2 hours).
- No DH.
- Legendary like Classic/TBC.
- 25 man raids.
- Keyring.
- Raid attunement.
- Multi-raid release (like in TBC : Gruul, Maghteridon, Karazhan, SSC, TK, Hyjal, available day one).
- Real talent tree like PoE or at least Classic/TBC/.WOTLK.
- No World Quest, daily as a single source of truth for daily content with max 25 daily done.
- Daily Heroic dungeon.
- Emblem to buy gear.
- World Event like Quel’Danas Island Event and AQ War Event.
- No Bind Of Account items.
- No Heritage item.
- Honnor point and Arena point to buy honnor gear and arena gear.
- 5vs5 in arena.
- End of WoW Token.
- Ban booster and multi-boxing.
- Gold reset (transformed into subscriptions to WoW with the same rate as WoW Token).
- Remove Island.
- Improve graphics to AAA game.
- No cross-realm.
- Merge low pop realm.
- No cross-realm-zone.
- Remove faction (you can play with everyone and BG/Arena is randomixed).
- Remove warmode, back to PvP/PvE server (World PvP is cross-faction you can fight anyone unless you are grouped).
- Lower mount speed (100% is the max).
- 1 graveyard per zone.
- 1 flypath per zone.
- Res Sickness removed, you just end up with durability penalty.
- Migration removed, only free migration available to low realm pop - free.
- No sharding.
- I can continue, it will take 1000+ lines to get it done.
I regret starting too late, in Cata.
If I would send a message back to myself in 2005, I would include an instruction to start WoW (along, of course, with a list of stock prices, lottery numbers, horse race results … :P)

I regret maining DK in BfA.
DK is actually looking pretty good now.
I regret not doing MoP challenge modes, for the mounts not the transmog.
I regret not putting more time into alts when classes were more different.
I regret staying up for Legion launch. I was so tired I didn’t enjoy it. The only think I remember is being tired and going to bed after I ran out of motivation.
Are these all things you regret??
Looks more like their wish list for the game, not a list of things they regret doing / not doing.
That as well, but it’s pretty obvious. Still, horse races are chancy at best. I’d rely more on less volatile info like stock moves based on important inventions and developments.

Not necessarily a regret, but i wished i had another main than a mage. I’m fine with mage, but I would have rather been a main with a tank spec. Something like a DK. or a warrior. Maybe next expansion, i’ll go with my dk as my main. Because this expansion most certainly is not worth changing mains now. Specially that i have to grind for multiple weeks again, to unlock essences and azerite levels.
I regret not raiding Uldir on my rogues, it’s hard to farm xmogs now.
And I regret not completing bfa s2 aspirant pvp set on my rogues again, cause now I’d probably like to have the belt, but I won’t be able for quite a while (if ever). I hate pvp tho, I couldn’t get myself to play it more than I did. Atleast I was lucky enough to drop the pants.
I don’t really regret it, but I wish I didn’t skip multiple expansions.
I have regret about skipping Mop… Ive left after 2 months… This toon (a worgen at the times) was idle on the pier of the jade forest for 3 years and half…
I regret companies constant need for change and evolving content and mechanics, even if it makes everything so much worse and theres a huge drog because of it.
That’s what I regret, no one can ever be satisifed with a good product, people use and like the product but after awhile they without negative stimulus like sales drops feel the need to alter the product and ruin it.
Like the recent Asda milkshakes, vanilla milkshakes were perfect and they changed the recipe for no reason and now it sucks and no one buys them.
Greed is a cancerous deadly sin. Pride is superior sin.
I don’t mean their performance. I mean their design. It sucks. I hate it. I hope 9.0 brings a complete overhaul for all three specs, especially frost.
I regret not rolling that damned warrior back in vanilla … stupid waterwalking …
