"Classic ERA is on FIRE" 

I think people think that blizzard is just incompetent and these changes were a mistake they want to cover up. From what ive heard, druids can use polearms and will have druid options for polearms in SOD. That change was intentional, otherwise we'd have rogues with axes too. The wbuff dispelling is a QOL for players that some have been crying out for since before tbc classic. Which is one reason why we got the chronoboon in the first place. And the rend buff makes having all world buffs more accessible. These changes are intentional, and blizz probably figured they were better for the game. But like you said, it's not about what's good for the game. It's the philosophy of not changing the game that makes these a problem. Classic Era is a safehaven for those of us that play it. We could hold on to the fact that the game could never change or be ruined by blizzard or the players because it could never have changes. Now that is being called into question.

classic fresh, classic fresh, classic fresh

So right. No changes! People also paid their hard earned money to clone their characters to these classic era servers with the promise of no changes.

TURTLE HYPE TURTLE HYPE

I believe these changes came to Era unintentionally as a result of updates to SoD/Cata, but Blizzard tried to disguise it as intentional to cover up their incompetence. What's next, Mages can now equip axes?

I havent seen classic players THIS mad since yesterday.

Ahhhh i remember the buff container thingy no one complained about that..

*It seems we are moving in circles and have had this discussion for the past 4 years!!!!!*

rip era

Yeah hope they delete the chronoboon and polearm for druids

You know, I am not sure those people (that are sneering at Classic Era players being upset at these changes) will understand or accept any arguments or reasoning. I have a feeling, and I might be wrong, that a lot of those sneering players are retail or Blizzard fanboys who actually hate Classic but are playing it because it seems more popular than retail, or play either SoD or retail depending on whichever is hyped at the moment. Those players don't really love Classic for what it is, but whatever everyone else plays, they play along with them. I actually know people who are like that, that is why I am posting this, but as I mentioned before, I can be wrong.

#NOCHANGES to Era ! Sign the petition pls @ all Vanilla Fans

I don't understand wtf they are thinking? Like what is the reasoning and how do they (if they even) think it's a good idea?

They will just push more players away, especially with turtle wows new update around the corner

SIGN THE PETITION PLEASE!😊

Why cant they just classic let be classic lol. Obviously people play there because "no changes" cuz they love classic so dont fkin change it.. what logic is this..

how dare they put sprinkles on my vanilla ice cream!!

this is one of the slowest narrators ever.

Blizzard can't even do nothing correctly.

why did they kill era??

These changes were good. #MakeClassicBetter

classic just needs the best classes blizzard ever made: demon hunter and evoker

I genuinely like the old guild tab better. Literally add the classic guild tab to retail and I’d be happier

Give us fresh, untouched classic servers. Can't be that hard.

Classic wow would do great to take a note from old school runescpae. Were the players vote for a change to happen or not. Has done wounders for that game

they changed the way heartbeats works and it made it to era aswell now.. thats a major pvp change

Come to Turtle until Blizzard figures out how to do things right. Hopefuly retail Classic becomes playable in the futurd.

Turtle WoW is free and better then Blizzard game

giving both sides the same things is bad that's how they ruined retail and now they're slowly going to make classic+ and they'll repeat every mistake they made once again. the concept of balance is too difficult for these people to understand.

I don't see why to pay for sub at this point when private servers make way better job for free.

The people that have actually been playing classic era WANT might of the stormwind we want rend buff as alliance players, we already work 12 hour days and having to also time a MC cap for a 3 hour cd on a tight schedule it’s not fun. Make a poll for actual era players not streamers. The game is full of dads and adults like myselfs just look at the skill difference between retail and classic players.

It's starting to look like this is what SoD was about all along, weakening peoples resolve against changes. SoD is essentially a form of classic with changes, so their getting them used to changes, but why? probably to add in cash shops eventually to classic era and so on. Money is usually the driving force with corporations. If I still played I'd just play private servers instead of their compromised "classic" servers. Just wait, you'll see their pretty predictable at this point.

horde having a world buff ally dont and having buffs be dispellable was fucking stupid, this is overblown.

I got every class at 50 about 5 wearing bis and I'm not logging in for p4

The only change I remember is the horde only rend buff coming to alliance. I am in favor of this going to era, simply on the basis that alliance players have always been able to get the buff but it is orders of magnitude more annoying to get it. Would anyone honestly bat an eye if that one had gone to era alongside the chrono boon to store world buffs? I am also a big fan of the chrono boon because it is stupid to be forced to NOT play so you don't waste world buffs before the raid. Not even looking at pvp servers and purge griefing or straight up killing people on their way into the raid...

Dude talks so slowly that playing the video @ 2x speed makes him speak at normal pace

Classic era with retail graphics incoming. Dualspec, wowtoken is coming soon.

if blizz keeps this up the private servers will become there biggest enemies, take your pick blizzard, you change what we love then we change what you love the amount of subs you get, enjoy

You know it's fucking bad if Azamous has broken character. I think he rarely does this. You're a fool if you didn't see this coming too. SoD is obviously half-baked and they just throw ideas at the wall to see what sticks. You know they're doing this? Cos they're looking for new things to make retail exciting. Enjoyed rogue tanks? Guess what you'll see in retail expansion, but done differently. I gave Hardcore a chance as my last thing with WoW and it was actually spectacular. Then SoD came along and ruined it. I played and checked out before phase 1 ended. Obviously more Blizzard trash, and here it is. And you're a fool still if you think it'll stop here. Classic players will be used as guinea pigs for retail stuff, cos that's where the in-game store is. And you can bet your ass they'll bring that to Classic Era too

I think they should have just ended classic at WOTLK. First off classic is already in trouble as most players who wanted to experience classic WoW wanted to experience the first 3 expansions. Now they are heading into the area where WoW started to decline initially so less and less people are going to be interested in the nostalgia of an expansion they probably care for initially and there will be less people who want to play it again. It's a snowball effect that will probably leave the servers on life support by the end of Cata. Because of this Blizzard needs to make some change, something that will cause players to want to check it out/try it out, but that goes against the spirit/the whole point of classic. There is no solution other than to just let it die or leave it on life support, let those who want to play the servers play it. Blizzard isn't going to keep something going that isn't actively making them money as they could be putting time and resources into other projects so they would probably just kill it before leaving it on life support but they keep some of their other games like star craft and heroes of the storm on life support so who knows.

Always knew blizz would fuck up era sooner or later. Guess it's time to remember it for the good times and move on... again.

Turtle WoW or bust, because Blizzard has zero talent or creative vision left.

They literally do not give a shit about classic players beyond your sub numbers, which are tanking

If you set the speed to 1.25 he talks in normal speed

Sad to see all these Retail players praising these changes. Vanilla lovers get tossed to the side...for the second time. At least there's private servers.

well, back to private servers, who gives a fuck, save $20 a month again.

Blizzard activison write no change but they dont own the compagny anymore.

Id be totally cool with never hearing this guys voice again. I cannot listen to more than a few words 😵‍💫 its like WoW content for toddlers

Them they add totem

A petition 😂😂😂 lmfao yea cos that always works. Wow I can't believe we didn't do this sooner. Do you think we could have stopped them from ruining the game 8 years ago if we'd formed an orderly queue and signed a petition?

If they were gonna make some changes, they should be ones that are worth a damn like dual spec or at least lessen the price of respeccing. Who are these idiots at Blizz thinking these changes are a good idea? History repeats itself at Blizz apparently and i can bet in a year or two, people will flock back to private servers

just dont touch classic, even if mini change would be good, the problem is that there is no end to mini changes

So people are complaining?

Thank god I'm free of this game and this evil company

Fresh classic. Non pvp servers. No one has time for that

bet you 90% of the people complaining didn't play every day since day 1 like a few of us who did. i know nobody who has been there EVERY day since day 1 that has issue with these changes. just goes to show people don't actually really want authentic experience. they just want to complain

It's crazy you think the classic games where made for you lol bliz just made them all for bots and gold pushers that's it. They even made so many changes at the start to make it better for bots to bot.

Doesnt matter what blizzard do or dont do - classic player will ALWAYS cry about it

unsubbed. They just cant leave well enough alone.

Unsubbed

nobody that played nostalrius would ever bother to play this dogshit version that blizzard put out stop bullshiting xD

Just play Turtle wow at this point. Blizzard is dead and gone.

I think the changes are good imo 😅🤣

Crazy thing is, it's a dying scene. The people actively wanting no changes are going to dig their own grave because no one will want to play

Aren’t these mostly error fixes? Druids should have been able to use polearms and the devs stated those buffs weren’t supposed to be dispellable.

I think these changes are fine idk why people are complaining when everyone has a bunch of addons installed to play the game

I never knew that people 32 and older could cry so hard just give the game up itll be okay

Who cares about those minor changes ?? I think they good actually

all 5 classic players are mad asf lmao losers

Classic players are beyond cringe. They claim they want the essence of vanilla, but will run 20-25 addons, some which tell them how to play the game and some that enhance the ui. Also using a leveling addon they pay for lmfao. Yet they complain when real quality of life hits the game. Imagine crying that you dont need to stand in Org waiting to get MC'd for a buff if you're alliance. Its beyond wild to me. And I dont even think polearms will affect druids that much since theyre already extremely worse than a warrior and rogue.

Good changes for sure. Era community is just bored sitting around afk on the forums waiting on World Buffs between Naxx GDKPs.

Classic era fans are funny because only want the changes they LIKE (chronoboon) vs the recent changes…get rid of chronoboon as well

Noone was crying when they changed how ranking works so dont start crying now

dudes be mad about the guild chat interface being updated but run restedXP on every toon
