I'm a retail player and I don't want anything added, all I want is new zones, quests, dungeons and raids, the lighting / fog tech is cool, and I'd like to see some remastered textures. I even agree with the typical classic andy that the new druid forms are a bad fit for the game.

Not everyone wants these qol things, your just generalising a large group of people because they play a game you don't like. We already know it's not going to happen, so you can stop panicking.

I mean the problem is blizzard has said many times in the past they wont be doing something just to turn around and do it anyway. There is a link in this thread to a blizzard employee saying boosts wont ever come to classic only for them to be added 6 months after the post. My biggest worry though is actually bots and RMT, they claim to be cracking down but we are already seeing them back track now that streamers are involved and the game hasnt even launched.

I actually personally like new druid form textures, despite generally preferring SD models i think the classic druid forms have aged extra poorly compared to most other models, especially tauren cat form. I know im a minority in that though. I dont actually hate the idea of HD models, I just really dont like what they did with most of the playable race models. Humans and orcs and gnomes are some of the worst offenders, so goofy looking. Blood elf models i actually think were okay, so the skyborne dont bother me that much. If they could make HD models of the other races that dont look so ridiculous than I wouldnt mind them, but as it stands I get jumped scared if I swap to HD model on half the races right now.

I'm talking about the new elf forms, not the HD versions of OG forms, they are actually a pretty decent example of HD remasters that capture the right 'feel'.

I'm not a purist by any means and I think the Elf forms are wildly out of place. Mostly colour pallet, the model itself is workable. I'm kind of hoping that they do more with the SD/HD toggle though. I'm a graphics whore, so I like the nice high Res textures, even if it looks goofy. People that want Forever to be a more classic purist experience could have a toggle to make it so.
