ValarMorghulis 2 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 The games are totally different beasts then d2 or pre-cata wow but that doesn't make them ваууing bad in anyway. Are they completly diffrent? Yes but they're totally different games, you can't even compare retail wow with classic wow, it's a totally different ваууing game. When played as independent games that merely share a backstory or a thematic sense of presences they are totally fine. Yeah, I agree with that. They are definitely different. So why would they call a different product the same name as the old one? Obviously because they can make more money this way, disguising it as the old successful genre it isn't anymore. Releasing a new "expansion" with old, revamped content and is much easier than creating a brand new MMO which they should have done a long time ago. If they cared more about their image than the money, ofc. Also, an important thing to notice in here is, that you can't actually treat them as "independent games". If that was the case, we all should be able to play older expansions, as we had paid for them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbee 4 Report post Posted December 14, 2016 Blizzard sees past expansions as part of a work in progress. That way of thinking assumes whatever is out today is the pinnacle of WoW's existence, and they think it's just getting better. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. Vanilla wasn't perfect in the technical sense (far from it) but it was a true MMO, the current retail version is just a shadow of that. Sometimes, I feel like retail is a dead game they are keeping on life support because it's such a cash cow for them - once it is not, they will look back to whichever version of the game was most popular to try & profit from the game that way. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
