With no wbuffs or harder raid bosses can definitely provide the challenge higher than the standard. A lot of people have WOW TBC Gold complained about MMC being ridiculed as a joke. It seems that this has been resolved to a degree. They also claim to have fixed the issue of mage boosting. This will enhance world interaction and leveling experience.

Many "Classic" players want #nochanges. Classic+ would not be Classic and would only appeal to players who aren't vanilla-centric. Modern MMO players will want modern designs, while old-vanilla players will want a simple design and would prefer "no modifications" because they are bad at the game...

Many players have switched to FF14 or New World so now they are expecting more or have just switched games. Classic+ must be more brainless than Classic to accomodate for "bad" players (LFR) which can only do Classic and on the other the other hand, it must provide contemporary games for all players... it's difficult to achieve, if it's even possible. Classic community is highly fractioned and it is extremely unlikely that it would come together to create a Classic+ version.

You're looking to go with the classics but you don't wish for it to be classic. I'm sorry, but it appears that you want to play a different game, every private server that has tried a Classic + died off after a couple weeks, literally the only reason to play this awful 15 years old game is to play with the community.

Classic + has done an outstanding job in this regard.

There is no way to tell if any "casual" guild will return to Season of Mastery. The only thing I'm interested in is how many people like me would want to join this.

It's difficult to play SoM as it's likely have a player base that p servers don't. It's also a way to make money and a weightless experience. It's possible to alter values to make it more challenging. There's no new options. In a way, it makes it less enjoyable I think that the lack of loot can be a problem and , with this timeframe, it is a bit frustrating when you aren't lucky enough. This is an excellent concept, but I don't think world buffs are good! People were actually calling for it long before the term "classic" was the norm. !

well new instances and all of it is basically well, retail. It's like creating an "alternate timeline" by adding stuff to the classic timeline that isn't being sold in retail. ....I can understand rule buy WOW Classic TBC Gold modifications, etc. But adding bgs/areas, etc. is expanding into retail territory ....
