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

I don't understand why you would want to oppose to extra content for your game.

Uh...last 8 days was spending alot of time on battle.net forums(got that free 10days active).Eu battlenet does not lock vanilla related topics.Most of them drop after 1 day, but 1 is still active, and its from 2011!!!Most of them(naysayers) are trolls.And other half of them hides behind statement "legacy will have impact on current game"(reducing game resourses, etc)No proof for that.Those guys also paste blizz statements from 2007!!!!.

The amount of straw man arguments and silly opponent selection in the megathreads make them fairly pointless.

They serve no purpose other than to demonstrate the high level of interest.

If they really say that there are 7000+ blizzard employees, I bet most of them likely play wow and post on forums. Blizzard most likely endorses mmochampion, therefore they get on there and blurt out blizz propaganda. Then there are some who are just fanboys, which in turn would probably equal a large amount of people that defend that state.
