From a creative and economical standpoint Vanilla WoW was inferior to its current state. What makes it seem better is our sentimentality for it.

That is a complete cop-out. Over the years, WoW has had multiple development teams with hundreds of ideas implemented. Believing that all of them were for the better, is noble in it's loyalty, but ultimately naive.

It's not just about mechanics, it's also about fun.

Being a beginner in WoW in 2005 was thousand times better than having 3 lvl 80 in WOTLK in 2009.

In the numerous interview you can find on the net about the development of WoW, making the game FUN was their number one objective. Nowadays, it's more about how they can keep people p(l)aying..

If you're going to lie at least try to make it credible. BWL week after it was added was bugged and it was impossible to reach further bosses. And no, hacks in WoW were never common occurence and cheaters were farming 5 man instances for gold, not raids for phat loot.

And yeah, no one who actually experienced raid content in vanilla, BC or WotLK would agrue the superiority of the former. There were some hard encounters but they were accesible only to few, in later expansions more people could enter raid dungeons but the hardest mode is still only completed by the same few.

I wasn't intentionally lying, I can't exactly remember what raids and dungeons were being soloed via hacks and exploits 4 years ago, I only read the complaints back then about others doing it. 

The point was a vanilla server would not have the bug fixes in place to prevent those hacks and exploits.

Bugs are one thing. And on the Vanilla servers, hopefully they would not be present. But I think alot of what people want is the old game without the content updates. Without the new class tweaks and abilities. Without the dungeon nerfs, etc. Without instanced PvP. Without the huge emphasis on gear and stats, back when things were done just for the fun of it.

Vanilla WoW was the best. Burning Crusade was very good overall in its own way but I detest WotLK with a passion. Which is kinda sad because I loved Warcraft 3.

But while I hate WotLK I accept that people love it. Just as I accept that people love American Idol or Jon and Kate plus 8. Or that people out there think Transformers 2 is a great movie.

I'm intelligent and old enough to realize that people are going to have a different opinion to mine. Unfortunately people like Zorndorf, templara and coffee feel that everyone should think they do and cant understand anyone else having a different point of view.

While I attack and criticize Blizzard for destroying WoW I think they did a pretty amazing job for 4 years of keeping hardcore and casual players alike happy. (people tend to forget that the majority of Classic WoW's North American 2 million subscribers were casual)
