We played sod for a year and finally we saw this, the rune system could not provide the desired balance between classes in pvp and pve, and there is no point in finding runes anymore.
If we want to save sod, we should completely remove the rune system from the game and instead integrate the class designs of one of the expansion packs that we think is the most balanced in pvp and pve and the closest to the classic into sod.
In my opinion, tbc is the best expansion pack that has been tested and tried for a long time in terms of class balance in both pvp and pve. I think playing sod with tbc spells and class designs will be much more balanced and enjoyable than playing with the current rune system, both for pvp and pve, and if such a development is made that way we can bring arena and rated bgs back to sod in pvp. What do you think?
You’re free to go to the new Anniversary classic realms, no runes involved, baaai

I am going to stop you right there. This is an objectively false statement, classes are way more balanced now than they were in Vanilla where a moonkin dealt 1/3 of the damage of a warrior. Thanks to the rune system we can now play any spec and it’s always engaging and viable.
The only problem runes create is PvP balance, but PvP as a whole frankly is a side show and should be sacrificed if it makes the main game better
Runes are ok, sod dungeons and raids are fun and everyone can do them.
Just level a 60 rogue in fresh and that stupid perfect setup for a dungeon is so frustrating.
Eveyone and thire dad are warriors, rogue or a mage.
They just need to speed up the phases in sod and make more drops in raids ( the good items that everyone wants).

Era servers also still opened and many players play there
If only there was a system, that allows you to swap to PvP skills and talents and gear on the fly if entering PvP combat. It is impossible to “blanace” either PvP or PvE while other gamestyle is affected.
Indeed, this is yet another issue the original WoW devs encountered and successfully solved years ago as the game evolved. Too bad vanilla andies will not allow to fix it because the solution is “too retail” for them
