i literally had no idea, until today, that the requirements for the AQ quests were kept a surprise from the player base until 1.09 actually dropped. Nowadays that stuff always gets data-mined and shows up on WoWhead months in advance.

You should either get off facebook and join forums with people who have played the game more. Maybe do some research as well first, a simply google search will net you all this:

That combined with:
The forum has levels?

Essentially shows to me you are a troll.

This is about possible solutions IF these things were to be changed.

I guess with their confirmation that it isn't changing, the discussion doesn't have legs.

There are so many 'what if' things about re-releasing an old game, that we could run around in circles chasing our tails for years. As we are 5 days from launch and with a lot more certainty on what Blizzard are intending to deliver, we don't need to spend our time guessing and speculating so much (we definitely needed to months ago, when there was still some level of uncertainty).

I think the biggest discussion point moving forward from release is Classic+ vs. TBC. A lot of people will want Classic+ but getting a million+ people to agree on which direction to take it will not be a good business decision for Blizzard. They will likely launch a separate TBC cluster of servers with optional transfer from Classic WoW servers. That is easy for them, as stated in the AMA, and also a safer option with a more guaranteed return on investment.

I don't think Blizzard are changing their stance of adopting 1.12 religiously though. Classic WoW is basically 1.12 with Layering for Phase 1 to deal with launch pressure and population drop off. I doubt they will get to Phase 4, then suddenly go "yeh nah fuck it, lets make some changes to the 1.12 client".

5 days boys..... 5 days.

Have fun shitposting until you're level 60 bud.

Changing the things you listed won't have that much of an effect. People share information more rapidly nowadays, so the alterations won't remain an alteration for so long! Also: people are, simply put, better players now. It won't be as mystifying of an experience, no matter which way you change it - mostly because a lot of people are concerned about the destination and not the journey, which was not the case back then. Just let Blizzard's game developers make that decision, and play the game as it is.
