What changes do you think would improve vanilla?

[Gazelle]

- achievements [because these were just fun completionist things]
- autoreplaced spell ranks
- barber shop [because fashion]
- cooking daily quests
- dual specs
- enhanced stat tooltips
- enhanced player portraits
- fishing daily quests
- guild bank
- improved flight paths [;___; why do I fly through Crossroads for everything???]
- late BC-early WotLK balancing [where most specs were viable]
- late BC talent trees


no summoning stones, no group finder, no queing for BGs from anywhere- basically nothing that removes the requirement to congregate in certain areas of the game or communicate through chat.

All of these are great, save for:

achievements [because these were just fun completionist things]

Having an achievement notification appear every thirty seconds for the first ten levels tends to ruin immersion. It reminds me more of Xbox Live rather than a roleplaying game, which is something I didn't like about retail and console RPGs like Skyrim. I might just be nitpicking here, I see why many people love gathering achievements, but... Ehhh.

I prefer Fallout: New Vegas style achievements (not the ones on PS3, XBox 360, or PC, but in-game achievements) that required you to pull off specific tasks in exchange for benefits to the character. Killing over a thousand NPCs? Congrats, you've now got a permanent 4%~ damage buff on that character. Use consumables a whole lot? Awesome, they now have stronger effects by default. Kill a bunch of people with a specific weapon type or unique weapon type (In GRA), you now get a 3%~ damage buff when using that weapon type.

Those are achievements in my eyes, useful ones anyway.

I would say they could filter out the baby's first step achievements and only keep the ones that people would actually care to brag about (imagine Loremaster for Vanilla).

Although there are a huge amount of pain points in the original game I take it as it is, I wouldn't change Nostalrius if I could help it and I believe a BC server will open up later down the track.

Now as for improvements to QoL:

- Achievements
- Duel Specs to soften the cost of respecing
- Tuning of specs for pvp equality (This would skewer the vanilla experience tho)
- Achievements (technically impossible)
- Battle.NET like chat system (technically impossible)
- Death Knights that can only level to 60 (This would be so OP... Undead DKs everywhere)
- WoFS nerf or at least give humans their trinket thingy.
- 15min hearths (who doesn't like a 30minute journey back to the nearest city)

None of all of this. Just one thing

Remove dishonorable kills, civilians will spawn elite guards instead
