That being said though, I approach this announcement not with excitement but with a little bit of caution, blizzard at the time made all of those changes not in a vacuum, but in the context of how the state of the game (talents, overall completion of content) and its players (average skill) was at that time, a context that you guys sorely lack and as much as we like to mythologize how great vanilla was, in many cases Blizzard at the time was largely inexperienced on how to balance an MMO.
Also this seems as well a case of players wanting their cake and eat it too, yes having as close of an authentic blizzlike experience is very important but it's never going to be the same, even if this change does happen most players will still rush through the content, we know what items and talents to get, also we know a lot more about the classes we play in general.
To put into perspective this is a video of the world first Ragnaros kill (rogue's perspective): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br1hXGXJ7Tg
No Slice and Dice or Adrenaline Rush and also whispering throughout the whole fight and this is from the rogue who's 3rd in damage done, a player with half a brain could out-damage that rogue easily right now.
Sounds like somebody read the thread which this change is based on
