If they are bringing a faster content cadence it makes no sense to leave them BoP.

Put more loot per boss in 25 because of rushed expansion.

Remember that the first tier in OG cataclysm was a year long, none of the systems were designed for a year long first tier. Just because we are getting a faster patch cadence, doesn't mean the systems need to change. We are in phase 1 for about 4-5 months which is perfectly fine for the systems they have laid out.

If we're going by their original patch cadence tweet, phase 1 as well as phase 2 won't be longer than 3 months each. I'm not sure where you got 4-5 months from, but Blizzard announced relatively early that they don't want Cataclysm to be long. Nvm, I guess you're condensing phase 1 & 1.5 into one, even though Chaos Orbs being BoP really isn't necessary by Rise of the Zandalari.

Why is every Classic realm completely changed from how it was supposed to be? Players are supposed to take their time. There are supposed to be challenges. Things are not supposed to be easy and give QQers anything they want.

We saw it with Classic Vanilla, then Classic TBC, the Classic WOTLK, and now with Classic Cata. You might as well call them "Remix" instead of "Classic" because none are anything like that content when it was live on retail.

The devs made amazing games and they should not be changed AT ALL. That was the whole point of Classic realms in the first place. And things are now wayyyyyyy off course.

So now there is no point whatsoever in playing any Classic realm because its not what was promised and nothing like when it was live.

Also, bring back TBC Classic. Without it and WOTLK as separate realms, the whole "Classic" becomes pointless yet again. Its either all the xpacs or just Vanilla. Not Vanilla and then a progression server that tries to be like retail but will never be like retail because all these xpacs have been tweaked into oblivion.

They are just saying that, hoping you wont dive into their actual actions. This is time gating, RNG filled blizzard we are talkigna bout. A company that places more value on wasting your time for their profit than any company i know. How they can get away with being so disrespectful the player amazes me.

The former addicts who played this game initially in 2010, the actual cata expansion, now are grown up and dont have the time. So, 20 years after release they come up with a plan to sucker all those people back in. Make a new expansion that has all the mobs from Wotlk. That will get them back.

Chaos orbs being BoP is a no brainer as that forces you to play multiple classes if the one you are on does not make use of them. Initially this is how it was on retail as well. Only later were you able to trade/sell or move them from one to another character

As is usual with Blizzard, there is still no word WHEN these will no longer be bind on pickup, with Firelands phase about a month away. Seems ridiculous to keep them BoP until Dragon Soul, when you can get a higher ilvl honor helm very easily in Firelands phase. Just stupid decision making all around.
