I’m not going to go line by line to answer to you, because I would practically repost what I said earlier: he took one instance of bad behavior and from that constructed a straw man whereby he inferred how the entire classic community is, what their ages are, and so on. That’s not substance, that’s at best stupidity. I’ve seen bad behavior on retail realms as well, doesn’t mean it’s in any way representative for all of the retail community either.
First of all, I don’t exactly know what “constantly” means to you. I read the forums daily except weekends, and I see one post like this OP’s every month perhaps, not more frequent. Second, how do you know how much “they” play retail? Third, did you stop to consider that they might have stopped playing retail because to them it’s boring? Fourth, this “we” thing stems from an extremely misplaced sense of ownership; thus far, all of us WoW players, classic or retail or both, pay the same subscription, which provides us all with the same access to both games and their respective forums. There is no “we” who are being told whatever by some perceived “they” here, every single one of us is entitled to publicize their opinion on both games, good or bad. Don’t like the opinion? That’s fine, and I’ll give you that some posts made by people who like Classic and don’t like retail are indeed dumb, but the reverse is equally true.
I don’t, but for two reasons:
#1 I don’t think it’s dreadfully boring, so why would I post that it is? I think Classic is fine as it is for what it aims to be, and I’m glad it’s there for free as part of my sub should I want to play it at any point.
#2 It is a remaster of an already completed incarnation of this game, so I am not expecting it to change in any way. It is what it is. Should they make a Classic+, that some players suggested at some point, with ongoing development, and if I would play it and found it boring, then yes, I would post my opinion that it’s boring. But this is not the case.
No, I reject that notion. You can defend what you like in a reasoned way, which is to provide your take on why you think it’s good, or you can be an obnoxious zealot and attack the people who dislike it instead of the reasoning they provide.
Of course you did, because you are using selective judgement. This one straight from my post history, but there were a lot more I remember, if you need to you can go digging yourself:
