I used to say no changes but after clearing all the content and doing R14 once, there`s definitely some changes that would make Vanilla better.
30 minute timer for Warsong Gulch so games not held hostage
Reinforcement thing for AV so games not held hostage
LFG tool. The one where you list your group and then people apply and you choose who to invite from there. This would be much better than everyone spamming lfg/world chats like braindead morons together with the boosters.
Quest log limit upgraded from 20 → 30
Barber shop (only for hairstyles)

People are too emotionally invested to look at this objectively. They would rather play a worse game than accept that some changes would make it better.

I think that’s fine. I didn’t like the increased damage the longer a flag is held, but I can understand the need for a timer in WSG. As long as it’s not too short of a duration. Perhaps 1hr is more reasonable.
I liked the reinforcement mechanic, as it meant that getting the mines etc actually had worth. Again, the only point would be that there should be ample reinforcements so that the game could last about 1hr in the case of a stalemate.
(I used to love old-school AV where it could last literally all day, some of the best gaming I have done, ever - but I get that is quite excessive).
I’m absolutly fine with this on the condition that there is no auto-matching or instant teleporting mechanics. That just changed the game into a lobby game, which sucked.
Makes sense.
As long as it’s only for hair and basic cosmetics then why not.
(Just no class / race change)
I’d probably accept a gender change as long as it was a MASSIVE gold sink, as that helps with gold inflation.
Sounds good to me. Transmog would be cool aswell but let the other players toggle if they wanna se transmogs or not.

also it meant that every random kill you get has value
yeah of course, its just a way to invite people to your group
Yes I still want no changes, please!
because what you like changes kill game for me., What I like change, you not like. We get changes in Seasonal.

As long as the classic era time capsule realms (and now clusters) are left alone, do whatever you want.

It’s a slippery slope. A little QOL change here, a little there, and before you know it, you’re playing retail.
As the saying goes, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” 
That being said, if a classic+ is released independently of the old classic era, have at it.

Season of Mastery is designed specifically to channel these wishes.
Era should remain a Vanilla sanctuary. Sure Super Mario 64 could’ve been improved on. But that would mean it is no longer Super Mario 64…

Classic Era = No Changes
The reason? It’s an “acceptable” recreation of the original game, despite having changes seeped into it.
SoM2 / Classic+ = Sure, go ham on those, I don’t mind tbh.
TLDR: leave Era alone, or Era players will go back to the very pservers that started Classic Wow in the first place, and yes, despite nowadays they have as a firm point the one of all being corrupt to some extent.
Will I personally like going back to them? Hell no since my characters will end in the nether again sooner or later, on top of not having the least will to setup my addons again for the 9th time.

wsg limit? no
av limit? no
Long games are the most fun. Short games are not fun.
Ab exists if you must have a limited experience.
lfg? no
quest log? sure, don’t mind that atall.
barber shop? why ? If you want to play collect/ pet/ cosmetic or w/e → just play on retail.

No to all of them. The only thing i would accept would be bug fixes such as the Murlocs falling through the floor etc… Other than that no.
No objection to additonal servers being knocked up with these features but there must always be an as close to Vanilla option.

People already accepted changes and “enjoy” wrath. Thx but better no changes than some sheet

I think Era should be left alone as it is.
Im all for changes on seasonal servers though.

I concur, era needs to remain as it is.
If you have SoM again then by all means go nuts with changes!

“the following post is an opinion piece, and not reflective on the stance taken by the company or it’s affiliates”
If they released new realms, there is one change I’d like. Remove gdkp, ban people that do it. I know it is far fetched to think blizzard would do that. And I guess most people like buying gold and spending it on loot. But I’m not one of em.

there are a some things i would wish for, but a small beginning never ends, so leave vanilla as it is
I would find more important, that all servers are put together in a PvP and PvE cluster and for the Battlegrounds also Eu and Na
