Suggest that change, thats all you can do. “Are they braindead of what” isn´t a way btw 
They would need to set a certain limitations to prevent gold duping etc.
That is not true! If you pay for the TBC Copy, you choose your character that moves. This character will be copied from Classic to TBC. It will be available in classic and at the same lvl for TBC.
Regarding the other way around, you want to Copy from TBC to Classic, that might be using your snapshotted character from the Pre-Patch time.
His point is he doesn´t want to do this on prepatch but for instance 6 months later when he finishes Vanilla

Yeah and this will be totally possible.
because why would they keep the classic snapshot if you play classic anyway.
Yeah and i will have two characters at level 24 that have to be levelled independently from there onwards and will no longer share any rewards/achievements.
The only players this benefits are those already at 60.
Yes in a ideal world i would already be 60 but unfortunately not everyone has the same luxury and nor would any new player, which leads me the exact reason i made the post.
Again, I believe the snapshot is only meant to be saved, IF you decide to play TBC and want to copy your char over to Classic later.
But if you decide to play Classic, the snapshot will take the latest point of your classic character. So IF you level in classic forever until 60 and make raids learn everything you want from it and then decide to copy it over to TBC, It should create a new snapshot based on that status and you should have your character as it is in TBC.
But until that is confirmed by Blizzard there is no point to be this aggravated.
That’s how i hoped it would work but in all the videos and people iv heard from none believe that this is the case.
Clearly it’s still to vague, no body else seems to be asking this question but it would be nice to know for 100% if it works like this or not. From the information given i read it as it doesn’t though.

Lets just say It doesn’t make sense for your char to be Saved in a state that is outdated if you are actively playing it on Classic
Blizzard has not said that they will but they havent denied that there will be transfers from classic era to tbc. So im 100% betting that they will add that option later.
It just wouldnt make sense now because that could eat into the profits made from boosts and clones.
No, it’s as it should be.
That is something you probably will never be able to do, you cannot go from Classic to TBC, you can only use the snapshot copy. And to be honest, any other way will be cheating massively.
It’s not flawed for goodness sake.
I see the problem and it’s not the games. It’s you late starting.
Except it’s not a short window, only for you, most players have been here for years.
It’s also a TBC snapshot, if you move to Classic then want to play TBC you can but you don’t take all your Classic stuff with you, and this is main complaint the OP has.
No, it won’t it takes it from the snapshot taken next Tuesday night, whatever date you copy to TBC.
They may in the future change to a new snapshot but don’t hold your breath, it will be well over a year in my opinion, if they do it at all.
Well, this isn’t going to work.
You’re literally better off playing retail,
You can’t expect servers to be available like that every time lmao.
I also want to level in Vanilla, because it’s before they gimped the level range, the amount of XP and elite quests.
Yes, I know everything these days is measured in ease and speed, and if something is more rewarding that is somehow “An Improvement.” as a matter of fact. This is not a fact, because some people think it’s TOO rewarding-- like much in the modern game.
It’s not as it should be at all, you’re 100% a hypocrite, in 15years of wow it’s never been this way, there’s no SL snapshot and for the majority of players that play classic it won’t be that way for them either because they are already 60, this is just yet another ‘some changes’.
There will be gold sellers farming in Vanilla and BC and there’s players cloning thousands of gold (5k cap) yet it’s a issue for me to take probably realistically about 1k if i’m lucky, get over yourself.
If you can’t see this as a issue there’s really zero point in replying to anything further you have to say since you’re clearly a very narrow minded player, you’ve repeated the same thing 4 times that’s factually wrong proven by reality it’s self (what’s already happened and happening) at this point you’re soon to be reported for trolling because all you seem to do is want to repeatedly harass people.
I can’t raid molten core in retail dude.
This isn’t retail and doesn’t need to follow the same path, surely having a natural progressive game is what makes sense. If not what’s the point, this will just be retail 2.0 when you’re playing SL again in another 15 odd years time…
If not in years to come players are just going to want another fresh progressive start, and the whole cycle will begin again.
At the end of the day it’s a game, they can do what they want, and players enjoyment should come before bots, boosters and gold sellers, not have to suffer at the hands of it.
It just doesn’t make sense to keep an outdated snapshot of a character you are actively playing on a classic era server. As you can’t progress further than lvl 60 anyway.
Let’s just say for now no one knows how blizz is going to handle the copy on a later date.
Dude, I’ve read most of your messages now. And you are making no sense. You can progress your character into TBC for free. If you would decide to experience vanilla content (lvling etc.), you can pay for a clone and do so in ERA realm.
Then if you are ‘done’ with vanilla content, you can experience the lvling experience in TBC content and eventually progress there too… I don’t see the problem.
And if the problem is that you want to take a maxed out classic character into outland at lvl 60, then you missed out cus you were late to the party. Just like it was for many players back in the day… Your experience will probably be more authentic then any other full bis lvl 60’s going through the dark portal…

You can’t blame anyone but yourself for starting to play the last week of classic. It has been out for almost two years. You also don’t seem to understand the implications allowing snapshots to be taken at different times. And even though people try to explain it, you simply just ignore it. You can keep your char on classic era realms and clear all raids and finish what you want to do. Then either create a new char on tbc realms or transfer your lvl 24 hunter that was snapshot before pre-patch and level that to 70 and clear tbc. These are your options. Rules are set. Play by them.

Maybe, just maybe, you shoud have thought about this 2 years ago and started Classic with the rest of us?
What you are asking for is never gonna happen and it will cause a TON of issues if we let people freely transfer between expansions. Opens about a million exploits and will ruin server economies. Theres a reason the Snapshot needs to be done at the exact same time, otherwise people will abuse it to hell.
So you seem to not realize how detrimental your “idea” is to the game overall.

No - you cannot level from lvl 1 to 58/60 in Vanilla and then decide when you want to transition to TBC and bring that char as it was there and then.
Right now is a strange 4 week period with the snapshot happening soon. After than and when “the choice comes” you will be able to:
Level in TBC from 1 when it comes out and your endgame will be lvl 70 and TBC 5 mans/raids and not vanilla 5 mans/raids.
Level in perma classic from lvl 1 and reach end game of 60 with Vanilla raids and 5 mans.
Right now with the snapshot due soon - you can also start levelling in the only classic we have atm (vanilla) and then carry on in TBC when it lands by selecting TBC as the place for that char. You just progress that char over and would then have a snapshot available to put into perma classic if you so wish - as taken on the snapshot date.
I understand your predicament OP… But unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it. I myself started in TBC, which meant that I would not see any relevant end game Vanilla content. I did get to see AQ40 thanks to a nostalgia raid organized by some of the hardcore players on Defias Brotherhood though.
I think that your best bet right now OP is to level two independent characters, one on a well populated Classic Era server and one on TBCC. Leveling will be made easier in TBCC since it takes the XP buffs/ elite nerfs from the later patches of TBC, so you should power through it quite quickly. Unfortunately you won’t be able to progress your Classic Era character, but you’ll have to live with it.
I think that the only chance you’d get to progress the way you want would be if in the future Blizz decides to launch Fresh progression servers… But we have no idea if they intend to do that at any point.
