I had an idea for Blizzard to cash in on old school players who want that Nostalgia experience in World of Warcraft again.

Basically how it would happen is upon the servers start the only content available would be Vanilla for the first 3-4 months. Giving people ample time to experience the content as well as level and do the raiding. And then release Burning Crusade content for the realm for again 3-4 months. etc... This would also reward titles and maybe Transmog gear for your Wardrobe for non Progression Realms.

Thought it might be a cool idea and if enough people thought it was cool maybe we could push it through to Blizzard.

It would be really cool but blizzard says they dont want old content. Forward is the way.

its both old and new, you get nostalgia but you also get cool stuff for your non progression characters

I'd mostly like them to crank up the mob difficulty.
Tanks sprinting through almost every dungeon aggroing everything without worry, waves of mobs dying before casters can hardcast anything, and 5 second "boss" "fights" are pretty unrewarding.

Like I said in the other thread.

They should make a realm for each expansion that resets every 6 months so people can have fun.

I meant more so they patched the servers to play with the items that were in place during that period only keeping Quality of Life improvements in play such as Dungeon Finder (MAYBE community was better without it tbh), I don't think there should be any LFR tho. No BoAs so that shit wouldn't be a problem.

I enjoyed actually needing to CC mobs in dungeons.
I enjoyed having to mount up to dungeons.

Now you basically just throw on enchanted boas and you will practically kill any mob in 1-2 shots & level rapidly.

God I'm so sick of seeing this crap.

If you missed Vanilla, too bad
if you miss Vanilla, welcome to life, where things come and go
If they turned the game into vanilla, people would quit.

Vanilla was the worst. Yes there were some fun aspects, but it was fun because that's what we grew up with. If i ever have to farm mats to raid Naxx with healing power shit, I would just PvP instead. Fuck attunements, resistance gear, ranked spells and 55-60.

And then 3-4 months? Wtf are you going to do in 3-4 months? Be geared enough to run BRD?

Just gave 3-4 months as an example of a time frame, and Im sure by 3-4 months people would be raiding if not by then 6 months or so. I never said they should make the game vanilla, I just said people should be able to revisit old content at its previous difficulty. You dont HAVE to do it, its just like CM dungeons but a progression raid system.

If anything, they could revisit old raids in a Challenge Mode/Proven Grounds way where gear is capped at that level but the raid gear would be slightly better. The way you worded it is that players would experience the leveling as well. As fun as I'm sure it'd be, this is a lot of work and would have to be an entirely new expansion.
