Where should Classic grow?
World & questing
I
Why players may want it
Turns long-standing world mysteries into new exploration without abandoning Azeroth.
What could go wrong⌄
Later-expansion answers could be copied too literally instead of being reimagined for Vanilla.
II
Why players may want it
Keeps the whole leveling journey relevant and rewards returning to overlooked places.
What could go wrong⌄
Overfilling zones could damage their pacing, solitude, and recognizable identity.
III
Why players may want it
Makes the world itself part of endgame and supports many play styles.
What could go wrong⌄
Poorly tuned sidegrades can become mandatory chores or hidden power creep.
What should groups discover?
Dungeons & raids
IV
Why players may want it
Uses one of Vanilla’s strongest unresolved spaces for atmospheric group content.
What could go wrong⌄
Excess spectacle or later lore could overwhelm the restrained mystery of the location.
V
Why players may want it
Strengthens the social middle of Classic between solo questing and organized raiding.
What could go wrong⌄
Modern corridor design or excessive difficulty modes could erase the exploratory character.
VI
Why players may want it
Extends a faction already woven through Vanilla leveling and dungeons.
What could go wrong⌄
A single faction could consume too much of the expansion space or repeat familiar encounters.
How much change is healthy?
Classes & identity
VII
Why players may want it
Lets more original fantasies function while preserving recognizable rotations and weaknesses.
What could go wrong⌄
Even small numerical fixes can cascade through raids, PvP, gearing, and faction balance.
VIII
Why players may want it
Supports Paladin, Shaman, and Druid fantasies without flattening every role into pure throughput.
What could go wrong⌄
Unpriced utility can become mandatory and push raids toward rigid class stacking.
IX
Why players may want it
Preserves the social interdependence and strong identities that define original WoW.
What could go wrong⌄
Untouched weaknesses can leave some players without a credible place in common content.
What should remain valuable?
Professions & economy
X
Why players may want it
Makes crafters part of progression and creates durable reasons for player trade.
What could go wrong⌄
Rare recipes or cooldowns can concentrate wealth and make required items prohibitively expensive.
XI
Why players may want it
Keeps professions, gathering, reputation, and server relationships economically relevant.
What could go wrong⌄
Low-population realms may face shortages and unhealthy price volatility without targeted safeguards.
XII
Why players may want it
Protects achievement clarity, player trade, and trust in the shared world.
What could go wrong⌄
A strict line reduces monetization options and requires Blizzard to fund development elsewhere.
Which conveniences still feel like Classic?
PvP & restraint
XIII
Why players may want it
Adds a new PvP destination rooted in an unfinished Vanilla idea.
What could go wrong⌄
Large battlegrounds can become queue-fragmented, reward-driven zergs without strong objectives.
XIV
Why players may want it
Removes avoidable pain while preserving the decisions and interactions that give Classic weight.
What could go wrong⌄
Many individually small conveniences can combine into a fundamentally different game.
XV
Why players may want it
Lets behavior and relationships matter beyond a single automated group.
What could go wrong⌄
Population decline can make strict realm boundaries painful without careful connection tools.

What this council can—and cannot—say
The catalog is an editorial set of design choices. Results show only participating browser ballots. They do not identify unique people, Blizzard plans, market demand, or the probability of any feature shipping.
Anonymous by design
No name, email address, account, comment, or IP address is attached to a ballot. A new browser key can vote again, so the ranking must never be treated as a scientific poll.
