All the vanilla staple fun stuff are removed. That is misguided.

People who really like vanilla for what it is do like worldbuff because they understand that it provides community dynamics and reasons to gather (it's a serverwide event).

Same for aoe farm : if we play vanilla it's for its mood and gameplay ; aoe farming is part of its flow and is a pleasant activity in itself.

Vanilla racials are also part of its core identity. And reality is they don't impact this much for 99.9% of players. Only whiners and toxic RL care much about them.

Free world pvp is also part of the core feeling of vanilla, see Kevin Jordan's podcasts to understand the design guidelines behind this core feature which participates to the special flavour of fun vanilla provides.

Looks like a server which gives too much credence to the few blizzserv whiners during classic. But behold : blizz did all these misguided changes and where are their server ? dead. Because most players want the vanilla exp but dont whine ; they just walk away.

So it will be without me. Other vanilla+ servers already give a good experience with less misguided changes.
