I can see J Allen Brack shoutin':

"IT 'LL BE A COLD DAY IN HELL BEFORE I GIVE THEM LEGACY SERVER. GIVE THEM FREE WOD INSTEAD!"

Boy, Brack is gettin' really desperate. Active Players in US & EU must have reached the 1.5mil mark.

Because they make more money from selling in-game items and services. They also want everyone to be current with WOD so there's nothing preventing people from playing Legion; well, other than buying it for $10 more than what past expansions cost.

It's ego mixed with a healthy dose of greed. With someone like Brack in a leadership position of WOW I don't think Legacy will happen. To me it looks like he's so committed to WOW being HIS legacy that he and his team have systematically remade everything vanilla. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he's changing his mind and embracing Legacy servers but I don't think anything will happen. :(

I agree.

When Blizzard introduces Legacy Servers, Brack will either quit or get fired. So long as he is in this position, I don't think we will ever see Legacy Servers from Blizzard or a Third Party.

I understand that Morhaime is a puppet and by that I mean a non-assertive person, so presumably Brack is all over him and is in actuality running the show.
