5 days boys..... 5 days.

I don't think Blizzard are changing their stance of adopting 1.12 religiously though. Classic WoW is basically 1.12 with Layering for Phase 1 to deal with launch pressure and population drop off. I doubt they will get to Phase 4, then suddenly go "yeh nah fuck it, lets make some changes to the 1.12 client".

Yooutube isn't a forum and Reddit is inferior in every way to social-networking sites.

Have fun shitposting until you're level 60 bud.

Changing the things you listed won't have that much of an effect. People share information more rapidly nowadays, so the alterations won't remain an alteration for so long! Also: people are, simply put, better players now. It won't be as mystifying of an experience, no matter which way you change it - mostly because a lot of people are concerned about the destination and not the journey, which was not the case back then. Just let Blizzard's game developers make that decision, and play the game as it is.
