"We explored options for developing classic servers and none could be executed without great difficulty."
Then how come so many private servers exist that are for free made by volunteers in their free time?

They don't give a shit. Very hard to do things you don't give a shit about.

Blizzard Entertainment is such a disappointment now of days, with these lame excuses.

I can see how it can become a headache for them. An example would be where should they stop with legacy servers? Just vanilla? TBC too? What about WotLK? There will be people complaining that their favorite expansion doesn't have a server to play. Considering how big of a company they are you would think that they could come up with something that would excite their old school players.
I would love it if they just let the Nost team run their Vanilla and TBC server. That's all I would need lol.

Yes they would need it to be higher quality because the DM W bugs wouldn't fly on an official Blizzard released server, but it has to be dirt cheap to make compared to live. Vanilla, TBC, and Wrath are the main ones they would need. The easiest path is to licence people to run old expansions and require a fee for each active player, since that is basically free revenue where they wouldn't have to do much of anything.

The general consensus is legacy servers begin the natural progression of wow, even into the sh*t expansions.

Indeed, most things are hard to do when 0 fucks is given
