I fear that the elitism and gatekeeping willl be on a massive scale and people will bring their modern retail thinking about dungeons with them and trying to get a PUG will be fraught with having to list your gear / be inspected or you will be kicked from the group so they can still rush dungeons down in a few minutes. And not just the ones currently playing retail, but also the ones who quit WotLK or after that beat their chest about how bad gear score and LFD were.
Not sure how undiscussed that is, but it is my biggest concern.
I hadn't given that any thought...
Now you've mentioned it I'm kinda worried myself. Giving me gw2 fractal requirement flash backs...
That the modern wow crowd will be really pc/sjw about everything, and really kill the vibe.
Funny that I've seen way more people complaining about PC/SJW than I see PC/SJW people actually hassling people for how they talk. Don't get me wrong. They're insufferable people but I've yet to see a single community/game/anything actually RUINED by them. Maybe they can get downvote-brigade-happy on reddit but that's it.
: shrug :
If you haven't seen it. Its because you don't want to. It's very prevalent and has ruined many communities and games.

I feel like I could say the same thing. Let's agree to disagree respectfully then.
My biggest undiscussed worry is the conversation that I've not yet had with my gf about how much time I will be spending in the computer room. :eek:

I am worried about a similar situation, myself.

Can relate to that..... just might get me killed.
The real strat is getting your girlfriend to play with you. :cool:
Ha, casuals. This is why you stay single!

Going by his replies in the comments OP is not joking. They really want to counter streaming by setting up a cross-faction totalitarian regime. Even if their addon gets the hammer from Blizzard having this many sadists on one server would be bad news.

Holy shit, at first I thought this was going to be just stream snipes being oragnised or something. This is just..... wow. There is some serious autism going on with this post. Amazing.....
Yikes... I'm glad they're publishing what server they're on so I can avoid that.
Blizz should ban the add-on like they have a few others in the past. This is blatant negativity and targeted harassment.
Length of Phases. I am conflicted because I really really want to have time to do all the raids as they are released, but I also know I will itch for the Honor System/Battlegrounds. I never had the opportunity to raid in Vanilla like I wanted, but I did tons of PVP and it was one of my favorite aspects.
I'd assume that they are going to complete all phases in around 3 years but I could be wrong. I really hope that the community doesn't force them to move phases up faster and faster because a few guilds are at max - that wouldn't be very cash money of them.

I have mixed feelings about the content release schedule. Having played on private and retail vanilla, Classic WoW will boast incredible player retention, but every time there is a content drought regardless if we are playing Classic or retail, a large population of players will leave. Some of these players inevitably return when the next phase arrives, but you will always lose a large portion of players permanently. The only thing worse than being behind everyone else, is being ahead with nothing to accomplish. Insert recommendation to level alts here! I think a lot of players will be surprised with how trivial the max level content is if they haven't played since retail vanilla. If we only have MC and Ony for the first 2 phases, and the 6 phases were to be spread out over 3 years (approx 6 months per phase)... This could be HORRIFIC for the health of the game. I mean, top tier guilds will likely be downing MC by week 2-3, hardcore guilds within a month and casual/pug runs will start popping up within 2 months of the first phase, yet we could be stuck with this as the ONLY content for 2 phases, for approximately 1 year duration (at your 3 year total game cycle estimate). Imagine taking 2 months (8 weeks) to get into MC and then running MC for the other 10 months (44 weeks) straight before seeing new content. A raid that can be completed with 35 players wearing sub-optimal gear will be farmed by raid geared players for months and months and months and mo...
Blizzard have already said they are going to decide the release schedule of phases as they go, but I hope they lean towards additional content to appease the top end players rather than stifling progress and halting the game to appease the bottom end of the playerbase. Granted, I am hoping for a much slower content release cycle than we have seen on private. My desired release would probably be 1.5-2 years total with a very short phase 1 and an extended phase 5 for the AQ war effort with the game finally ending in phase 6 with no foreseeable reset (players could take as long as they needed to finish the game).

This shit is hilarious!
I am by no means an expert, but I’m certain that some of the things this addon is supposedly going to be able to do is not possible without violating the terms of use.
So either these guys are pulling off a huge bluff in the hopes of streamers staying away from their server, or they are seriously stupid enough to risk the population of an entire server getting banned because they force this persona-non-grata stuff on everyone.
Also I‘d like to see them compete with a counter-movement if a coalition of streamers were to chose their server on purpose, bringing at least a couple of hundred prepared fans with them.
This could become quite entertaining quite quickly.
