The most popular games in history has almost allways been the hard and unforgiving ones, if anything don't make vanilla / tbc / wotlk easier, what the actual hell are you guys on about, we've had these expansions forever and Classic Vanilla was a huge let down for so many because they remember it to be way harder and people who played used to be a lot worse, Blizzard had some truth in the "you don't know what you want" statement, only some though.
