    Whether you’re fighting, crafting, or gathering, your actions always serve a purpose in the Burning Crusade Classic campaign. Anyone can feel like they’re contributing either to their own guilds and groups or to the server as a whole. Leveling can feel sluggish at times, but talent points, meaningful gear upgrades, and a clear endgame goal create an RPG experience that still manages to make it a game worth experiencing if you have the time, even if it’s more demanding than we typically tolerate from games like this.

    Blizzard completly ruined the classic expierence for tbc.

    Now players can buy level boosts, mounts etc. Yeah, no thanks. It's bad enough how much Blizzard is milking their players in retail with their store.

    tbc where the time were the mass exodus from Alliance to Horde began, because everyone wants to play a pretty elf and wants to have the better racials. Both are found in the Horde. So of course the same thing would happen in the new classic version.
    Blizzard however managed it to kill the Alliance as a faction even more by introducing same faction bgs. So the Horde is literally fighting against the Horde, because there are almost no Alliance players left. Congrats Blizzard. Way to go to kill 1 of your 2 factions completly.

    tbc has become world of hordecraft, similar to retail.
    The. Faction. System. Doesn't. Work.
    (Especially not, if one faction get's neglected all the time)

    If you are reading this Blizzard, you should take some notes from Final Fantasy 14. They have 3 factions and no faction imbalance. Guess why? Because you can play whatever race you want in each and every faction and because you have cross faction pve and pvp in FF14. Your faction system doesn't work Blizzard. Sure, you can keep it in your classic versions but jeez, lessen the faction restrictions in retail to make the game playable again.

    Eather way, tbc classic died to me anyway once you introduced the cash shop to that version.

    Game is ruined by bots and a incompetent developer team. Content has been dry for over a month, T5 content was released faster in the initialGame is ruined by bots and a incompetent developer team. Content has been dry for over a month, T5 content was released faster in the initial release of the game.... where the majority of players weren't even full clear T4.

    Bots are everywhere, and boosts have made it 10x worse, but I'm sure the quick profit they made was worth it.

    Do not play. There is no one in the world to play with.

    Terrible pile of rubbish and a quick money grab for Activision Blizzard.
    Horrible changes has been made, so that the classic version is incredibly unbalanced + a cash shop in order to squeeze as much money as possible out of the players.
