When classic WoW came out I jumped on that so fast I got whiplash. Hit me right in
the nostalgia gut. And Activison Blizzard didn't want anything to do with WoW classic.
"Why would gamers want to go back to something that old? We are making new content that is better then that old stuff!"
I don't know maybe because Vanilla-BC was the best WoW EVER was. I got out during cataclysm, and I myself became a WoW refugee looking for a MMO to play. I returned to FFXI until FFXIV (1.0) came out. I was never more lost then I was when I left cataclysm, returned to FFXI, and the ultimate trash that was FFXIV 1.0. I went to RIFT, Warhammer online, EVE, LOTRO, SWTOR. I invested $1,000's to find something to fill that WoW void and give me something I could enjoy.
So I suppose what I would like to say is... Thank GOD for Yoshi P for having the courage and foresight to fix this game. When developers are in tune with their core audience they keep that audience around for years to come. Activision being completely closed off to their core audience for the last 10 years is CLEARLY showing more and more. WoW classic was a one off and I doubt will be supported fully. "You guys don't have phones?!"
WoW/Blizzard is dead to me, classic WoW is a perfect time capsule of a time in my life that reminds me of better days, and in times like this we all need that more then ever. The people that made Blizzard a development company what it was, and felt like to play a blizzard game are ALL gone. Blizzard Activision only care about money and shareholders.
If you want to see a developer that cares? Youtube Yoshi P is upset for the 2 YEARS he fought through to remake an entire game to SAVE it. He truly loves and cares about it, and fights even harder to hold back his tears of the hardship followed up by a formal bow in apology. I highly doubt you will ever see that from Blizzard/Activsion.

Yoshi P is treasure and should be treated as such, and the SE should have utmost faith in him to guide FFXIV so they can reap the benefits.
