What if it turns out it wasn’t Cata but just point in time? Players getting older, younger generation being different?
Classic is clearly not played by players as it was back then and same would be for Cata and it may have same popularity as previous Classic releases 
I’m all for since that would lead to Mop classic!
I would rather choose Cata if i had to choose between the 2 evils you know like choosing the lesser evil of sorts so i don’t understand why you would choose SL classic but i respect your opinion different tastes and all that.
The concept “Classic” ended for me with the base game but I could extend it till Wotlk but not beyond. Cataclysm has changed the game on a scale that I cannot consider it as classic in any shape or form.
But if people would like a fresh Cataclysm server, I don’t mind it.
Ah i don’t like the modern expansions for different reasons it isn’t so much as generational switch it’s the content that got difficult over the years.
M+ and the eSports obsession destroyed the casual gameplay and the community for me it divided ppl you no longer got invited into guilds because you are a good person fun to be around instead you got invited because.
They used you to get their ends met and you got invited on your skill and if you are a professional nobody wanted you as a casual.
So yeah no.
This to be honest.
I would choose SL too over Cata
As i said different tastes it works for you not me.
If you don’t know why then check Ragnaros kill on Classic before the first reset. Players got better and better at the game.
Legion M+ was really good. And not like it should affect “casual gameplay” as N/HC dungeons were still there and obsolete as always after first week or two of the expansion. WoD had problems with obsolete dungeons and previous expansions had it as well.
And is Classic is any different? There are guild that aren’t obsessed with parses just like on retail but most want to clear a raid in 25 minutes or else.
Euhm.
I’m not particularly against it but definitely an optional per-character basis.
For some awkward reason I wasn’t a fan.
I had a good run during WLK and I felt useless during prepatch.
I was horde and Garrosh broke my attachment.
I didn’t like endgame zone styles very much.
It’s nice for leveling I guess, but there is too much upheaval in the world, which is overfilled. I prefer simple forests and plains with a fair amount of encampments.
However, MoP sounds nice. Jade, Krasarang. Wasn’t a Kun’lai fan initially but then I did watch a movie about the people living up in those mountains.
Also depends on how quick they rush it - and how much I end up playing. BC ending a year early was a bit of a thorn. Right now it looks like I’ve dedicated enough time to enjoy WLK and then move on, but I can’t tell future.
THIIIIS! I want them to do Cata and MoP really badly. Cata and MoP PvP was the best thing ever. I enjoyed it soo much.
Yes I do!!
Hypuuuuuu!
Suprisingly enough it is the only xpack I’ve played without having a break!
(Also might be cuz no other fun games around lmao)
They would… because they are clueless… and have no where else to go after wotlk…
so will try to flog the dead donkey for what it’s worth.
CATA overall wasent that bad though… i think it will surprise people going back to and reliving it… at the time it was painful… but now i think it will be fine.
I had a lot of fun in Cata but I know its because I was in a nice guild and had irl friends that were still playing, so I won’t play it again, also for me classic is vanilla, tbc and wotlk.
that is why i only played classic vanilla briefly…
the originals were just a better experience.
whatever classic is … it is it’s own thing and shouldnt be held up to the originals.
I didn’t get a survey myself.
Cata is the only expansion that made me quit WoW and skip it, I came back for MoP. So personally I have no interest.
Ofc its gonna happen
just imagine how many hundreds of milions of $ they will make from releasing the saved copy of cata with delux edition for lets say 99 euro 
people who think they are gonna skip cata are delusional .
interesting MoP was the one which made me quit wow first…
though i did get account hacked in Cata.
me too - initial dungeons and raids were very fun and good.
DS was also fun raid . never understood why people hated it - i had a lot of fun doing it on main and alts.
