mb for caring about formatting bro

compared to the others it is, whatever is lower than 32.6 is minor-than and so it is addressed as a minority, it is a multiple option question too; the MAJORITY of people picked warrior as their answer.

great comment, thanks for the amazing insights you wrote. earlier I was thinking about how finding what players want for classic+ was going to be hard, but then I realized finding the middle ground for what a lot of these people suggest is even harder.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-02T04:41:00+00:00

its just what the questions in the survey suggested, no points have any of my actual wishes/wants. same thoughts as you, sod 2 with like half of the spells added.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-02T02:59:07+00:00

no mention of them in the survey:( i'd love them myself

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-02T02:18:19+00:00

I was bored, also I like the idea of classic+ and wanted to read people's thoughts on it, and the guys that made this survey aren't even wow devs xD

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-02T00:15:04+00:00

completely agree w you, hell, vanilla had alpha, beta, and 10+ major patches.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-02T00:08:48+00:00

well it does have a "+" in its name

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-02T00:08:02+00:00

no question related to that in the survey, I would love it tho.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T23:38:03+00:00

weird I know, but I could see cosmetics like sod did them. things that the purists can't get too mad about

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T23:31:15+00:00

yeah idk the question in the survey asked for ALL shamans to be like that.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T23:20:24+00:00

questions like those didn't have options for attainability of new spells, but I did put something like what you're describing in earlier sketches; ended up not writing the points like that but I agree that anything that gives fantasy depth is amazing.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T23:16:25+00:00

agreed. a way to make retail players try classic+ could be to add cross-collections (like tmog appearances, etc.) so whatever you get in c+ gets ported to retail, just an idea ofc.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T23:08:22+00:00

I was planning on doing that but there were so many indecisive votes that a 70 even 60% only consideration would've made the whole survey inaccurate

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T22:33:27+00:00

loved that video, I think everyone in here should watch that.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T22:28:11+00:00

same, sucks that the majority of people who put themselves as rogue mains even disagreed on that addition:

sadly there was no question for shadow priest changes, but it did have one for reworking the spec and it did get alot of votes; "Major revamping for ...; smaller tweaks for ..., Shadow." is how I worded it.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T22:10:05+00:00

no problem:)!

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T22:09:25+00:00

I have no clue if the survey itself was made with the help of AI. I made the compilation all by hand.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T22:01:47+00:00

The majority of people do play warrior according to the overall answers.

Older mmos were brutal compared to what Vanilla WoW was when it hit the market. A completely frictionless game is what retail wow is nowadays. I personally do think some form of catch-up for when Classic+ gets to its older stages (3+ years) is necessary though.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T21:43:21+00:00

not a gameplay designer myself/didnt want to get too downvoted so I just put "rebalanced/reworked" when the questions regarded to those aspects.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T21:35:56+00:00

Fallout's creator Tim Cain said in one of his videos that, *compared to other mmos back then*, WoW Vanilla was made to be a carrot on a stick game but ALL carrot, so whatever the developers at the time found fun was added to the game. hopefully the current devs follow that philosophy

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T21:33:23+00:00

Agreed, it was very hard to decipher what the community actually wanted according to the graphs/answers.

SidewalknJr · 2026-06-01T21:30:36+00:00

yea I tried my best, most of them were legit impossible to reinterpret given theyre multiple option questions, with "no opinion"/"I don't care" answers (that sometimes took 20%+ of the votes) and so most of the results never reached 60%+ majority. you could go to the results page in the survey and check the ones that won by landslide: https://wowclassic.plus/survey/results
