Horizontal Progression is not Classic WoW

Classic WoW is about vertical progression. The upgrades you earn are straightforward, powerful, and useful in PvE and PvP. This defines the Classic WoW progression system. Horizontal progress is contrary to this. Battle for Azeroth uses a form of horizontal progression and it feels unrewarding. Classic WoW progression works partly due to its simplicity. Having all of these different gear sets with affixes, resistances, etc.. is not in line with Classic WoW.Horizontal progression is not the answer. Classic WoW was not designed around it. There are two options. You squish the items and replace the old raids and dungeons with new raids. You replace the T1-T3 raids with new raids that follow the same itemization rules as Classic. The old gear is squished. There is essentially a new T1 raid like Molten Core only with new items. Then there is a new Tier 2 raid that would be similar to BWL. The release cycles would be the same. The endgame dungeons and raids would essentially be replaced. It would stop at Tier 3.The other option is to just relaunch the entire game with new quests, dungeons, and raids so that the playerbase can relive the full game. This is a lot more work.

Stat squishes killed modern WoW and made people flee to Classic. Therefore, we should add them to Classic.

F**king brilliant, mate.

stat squishes are the least of the reasons people have fled modern wow.
