Yes please
As I spent a crapload of time in the game already and even lucked out in getting the Golden Searing Blade Recipe I’d absolutely hate a Relaunch.
More importantly, unless they permaban at least the high-profile cheaters who make rl money out of their toxic deeds, the only thing that would happen is that sooner or later a new exploit would be found and abused to the max, and the whole process would need to start over.
So untill Blizz takes serious punitive action against those cheats, wether members of Method or some other quasi-criminal organisation or not, I would be against rollbacks and would rather see new Servers.

I believe Bellular, Nobbel and Preach, among others. There was a list circulating here for a while. I don’t watch them either, just know they have quite an amount of followe… frothing groupies.
nobody feels it because nobody normal cares
if anything i bet majority have much bigger poblemss with too many people competing for to few mobs spawning rather then this non existen fake problems

well maybe, however those three aren’t that huge i believe. At least we talking about couple of thousands of people in best, not to mention it probably works both ways: i’ve seen Preach got ganked by alliance players who definitely was looking for him (yeah i watch Preach videos from time to time), can’t say for other ones. Anyway it is nothing like Faerlina US where streamers like Cdew and Venruki have gathered several hundreds of thousands.

typical Boomer - I’m offended by what 1% of players have done so I want a knee-jerk reaction that effects everyone so IM happy. A very selfish attitude imo. Imagine if they pulled this insane idea on retail during the XP potion abuse “Hey guys, swifty and a few streamers abused these xp potions so we are rolling back all the servers”. It’s an insane idea and would simply kill classic, who would want to return to an MMO that wipes your progress when a tiny minority of the players have abused a mechanic. An incredibly narrow mindset.

Rolling back wipes away the 5 days played time I’ve invested here. Huge no from me, idk why people come up with these silly ideas
^ This - the reason I wont play on Private Servers is simply due to the risk of losing progress at any moment through rollbacks, restarts and servers going offline permanently

I’m ok, thanks. I’m having fun.
I’m sure your Lv13 isn’t worth losing
My 8 days 10 hours /played definitely not worth losing.
It took you 8 days and 10 hours to reach Lv13?
They don’t need to wipe everything they just need to give players the option of starting again on a server without these exploits.

Why should the masses be punished for the actions of a select few? Perma bans, IP bans and any media deals/ad deals revoked. That should solve a good portion of the issue. Heck get twitch involved. Can imagine how much the ‘top’ streamers would cry when their source of income is tarnished.

I took time off work for an epic Azeroth adventure to get to 60.
I went the long way round with no questing addons, guides or checking websites on a horde heavy pvp server on an alliance char. some zones in the 40’s were a complete gankfest where it would take hours to complete a handful of quests - 12 days played to get my paladin to 60 (about what i expected).
I would definitely be a forum whiner if they reset it, as fun as it was I don’t feel like doing it again so soon. For me the game doesn’t feel tainted or trivialised, the leveling experience was everything i expected and dungeons at 60 have been great fun.
Just ban the cheaters and move towards removing layering earlier with more servers and free migrations.

What…? I’m not leveling to 60 again and throwing away 7days of hard work.
This is the without doubt the worst idea i have read on this forum.
It almost feels like Blizzard want classic to fail. I say don’t bother starting again, just get rid of it
Yes Blizzard please reset my 200 hours of gameplay because of private server players’ fetish for F R E S H servers.

But retail is even a failure.
Diablo 3 was meh and the franchise is turning into a mobile game.
OW has fallen time ago too.
Hots even worse.
I think that it is not that they wanted to see it fail… They just dont know how to make games anymore and do not care about the playerbase, just the sell (pure business BS marketing) not even copying old code (tho I must admit that the old code was more worked than the new from retail)
