well here's the thing. Technically, there were some form of microtransactions in vanilla.

The wow card game had codes that could be redeemed ingame for cosmetic rewards. I remember going to my local card store, buying packs of cards just for codes and getting the Tabard of Frost (it matched my shaman's T2 gear)

so in a way, blizz would be somewhat justified in having these TCG items on a webshop. That opens the door to ... who knows what.

WoW might begin to change a lot, new leadership at Blizzard, involving 2 WoW design team members

could this be blizzard's way of getting out of classic? Brack can just say that the old president signed off on classic but the new leadership thinks differently and wont be held to it

Why would they back out of it?
It might take away from how many people play retail but in the end it probably doesn’t cost them much to run a classic server since all the stuff they need is still there.

And it’s not costing them very much to make. They will recoup most if not all production costs just through the increased virtual ticket sales that will result because of it.

I dont think they’ll back out of it but they do have to redo everything as the way the game was handled before is not the way it’s processed today and there’s no compatibility.
