I'm ok with changing anything about the UI that players are going control with their addons anyway

Example:

- In vanilla, a mage COULD see whether an opposing paladin had Blessing of Freedom active, so it would be ok for me if the Blizz UI allowed players to customize the location/size of the icon of visible buffs/debuffs (players who want to do that are going to use an addon for it regardless)
- In vanilla, an addon COULD NOT detect whether an opposing paladin had the talent that increased the duration of Blessing of Freedom, so there was no way for you to get accurate buff durations for players other than yourself. Therefore, it's not ok for me if Classic WoW has an accurate display of buff/debuff durations as part of the default UI.

Obviously, I am against any changes that affect the actual gameplay (class balancing/dual spec would defeat the purpose of even releasing Classic servers)

You know every class in vanilla was viable for one situation or another just because back then people didn’t know how to use it doesn’t mean it wasn’t viable

I think they should even leave bugs in the game. Just make it an exact recreation.

I think the 1.12 patch, debuff slot limits, and ony-mc dropping on fresh servers has worked well in the private realm. i dont see a reason to mess with that, but im sure blizzard could prove me wrong.

for a priv server with no code database a real time operation fixing bugs for each patch would be a chore, for blizz it could be done though. I don't want exploits with hindsight in there for the sake of nostalgia, that's silly.

people will whine and be unhappy no matter what blizz does. that is the bottom line. blizz should just put out the old broken game as it was and maybe it will at least shut up most of the people. Just pull out your old Atari 2600's and original NES and play that if you are looking for nostalgia.

Vanilla was fun but it's only going to be fun for a while. I had warrior rogue Warlock and pally with almost full tier 2 on each. PvP was fun when we weren't raiding but it got boring. I'm not playing wow anymore but WoD was good fun. I think many won't find what they are looking for on a vanilla only server. I have no interest in playing vanilla again.
