Would be nice if we can have some information at some point about Cataclysm Classic and the future (Mist Of Pandaria Classic, is it ever planned ?).
From what I gathered in my guild, there’s a lot of people that would like to replay Cataclysm, MoP, WoD and Legion. But also a lot of players that are against Cataclysm, so it’s not everyone.
BFA/Shadowlands and Dragon are considered “modern era” since Classic started in 2019 at BFA expansion, and most Classic player don’t know theses expansions at all. It’s fun to see how generation evolved, 5 years ago anything outside of Vanilla/TBC/WOTLK was considered “Retail WoW”, and now people start to understand Retail is BFA+ not Cataclysm and older expansions.
With a more faster release (unlike WOTLK), you could fit an expansion per year and satisfy a lot of players that didn’t have the time to touch theses old expansions.
Most of the Classic WOTLK player base are raiders. Raiders want raid, that’s the point 
.
We started playing Classic in August 2019, from Vanilla to WOTLK, and we are not going back to Vanilla.

What expansion started the endless world quests, grinding, borrowed power and other similar crap? I think that should be where Classic ends and modern starts.

Cata wouldn’t be considered classic no? Classic is until Wotlk AFAIK.
That said, I didn’t play much Cata back then only on pservers so I wouldn’t mind giving a try. I do prefer MoP tho.

It was Legion, but at that time it was still fresh and people got over it. When BfA and SL copy pasted recepie the patience of players was tested beyond any reasonable limits.
Ulduar is final raid of Classic game philosophy of continues raid progress. As you see with ToGC you can hop into latest raid tier normal mode and the previous one would be irrelevant if not for the ilvl buffs Ulduar gear received.

Blizzard is probably waiting for the Blizzcon to release information regarding Cataclysm Classic.
Didn’t Ulduar displace T7 completely, already?
Modern Era?
No, they are considered sht!
And because of how Retail is since 3 expansions ago, I say bring on Cataclysm and all others until Legion!
Legion, along with WotLK are the best expansions. So yea. Nothing wrong in bringing them back.
Retail is for kids anyway …

Legion, if you asking for “endless grind” (it wasnt near endless. It was quite easy to max your weapon etc).
Usually kids play easier games, and classic so far hasnt had any hard content at all, so is classic for kids?

What sort of crazy people are you guildmates with?!
Look, I kinda get Cataclysm and MoP. Heck, even I enjoyed MoP! But WoD and Legion???
You miss the point.
Retail is all about transmogs and picking up flowers.

It reads :
Everyone knows transmogrifications are the hardest part of the game.
Here’s a sneak peek at the new Fracture in Time tracking tools!
So yea. It seems they stopped adding real content and are focusing more on transmogs , aka cash shop, because it seems they are already selling that…currency for real money.

We will probably know around midway through last phase (and by last phase I mean Ruby Sanctum, not ICC).
They could try making it more “Classic”-like, which the polls that have been going around suggest is at least considered. Doubt they’d succeed, but it might be worth checking out at least.
Cataclysm is where is started serious raiding, before then I was a casual.
Some great quests came out of the destruction but I think that same destruction is kind of against the ethos of Classic.
Also from memory the Cataclysm didn’t effect Northrend and it should have.
If they do make Classic cataclysm then it may well move to the full Dragonflight engine.
