One reason why you can't reason with the retail crowd

[Pottu]

The retail crowd is currently full of pre-masturbaters who wouldn't know a good game if they saw one. Of course they wouldn't play Vanilla, because they would actually have to put effort into the game. Other than whining on the forums about how hard it's to get an epic. I guarantee that majority who're against a vanilla retail server, haven't even played vanilla themselves. All the tards that started in WOLTK that ruin the community now, and they think that was the start of WoW. :/

lmao. pre-masturbaters. I'm sorry I don't have much more to contribute that term is hilarious.

Just ignore the troll. Anyone with a brain knows that most people who would join a vanilla server hasn't even seen the petition, let alone signed it.

Mark Kerns estimation of 1-2 million is probably about right.

I miss week long AV's... :*(

Aside from Vanilla, I would play on a TBC server just for Arena. Bring my Swiftkin back for them lulz.

These people are literally irrational. Their logic makes no sense.

Players today don't even know where dungeons are located. They never played the game before you just teleported everywhere. It's quite sad, and this lazy mentality is what engulfs the game and its players today. Back when the game was good, if you weren't willing to GO to the dungeon, then you did not get to SEE the dungeon. It was that simple, and that's the way it should stay.

The response is from fear not rationality. They're scared that the game will not be the Pet battle, LFR, LFG, mount collecting, pet collecting, gear hoarding, achievement-fest, selfie stick, facebook feed, and twitter feed game it has become. I'm not being sarcastic, they love all those features and hate to see them go. Feel sad for them and do not talk them down, just tell them we want what 12 million people loved...you know the 9 million that once played next to you left for!

Any argument they make is moot, the game is 1/4 of its prime and its being sold out by microtransactions and expacs designed to lure people in for a few months than toss them back out.

They wouldn't have to see any of that go though. This isn't a "one or the other" situation. Newer patches would still be running, and players happy to sit alone in their garrison playing Facebook aps could continue right on doing that. No one is trying to get retail newer patches shutdown. We're just trying to get "all" patches hosted so players have the choice to play what they want, something you'd think should already be common sense in the first place. Blizzard, so long as they're hosting WoW, should host all patches of it. They still run Warcraft 3 servers, a game that was out for years before WoW even was. They don't do anymore balance patching or hack control... but the servers still technically run, meaning it's more supported than any older WoW patch, and that's pretty damn dumb when WoW has a paying sub they could have been cashing every year.

Every patch should have a nice group of servers for it, and if they did, they'd see millions of reactivated accounts paying a sub again. One way transfers up would allow players to progress at their own rate, meaning they'd probably stay even longer. But instead, Blizzard wants you to do the opposite of what would make them more money, which is to skip almost all content ever created, rushing straight to the end, then exhausting it almost as quickly.
