I'm very curious how this'll go.    Obviously Blizzard has made a mint on "Classic" stuff that they barely have to develop for...but with Cata we're getting further and further from "Classic" and closer to retail by a large margin.    Also, Cata's where the quality started to noticably slip in terms of lore, raids and the sheer asset recycling they started peddling.

Already had a few "classic" players come back to retail after killing Arthas.

I think the negatives of Cata have been great exaggerated over the years. It wasn't the best expansion by any means, over a year of Dragon Soul left its mark, but we had some cool things added like the Firelands raid patch with the molten front, the last iteration of traditional talents before the MoP revamp, the first time class/race combos were updated, and flying in the old world. I'm not a classic player by any means, I don't find it appealing to replay an MMO I played years ago especially with the change in player mentality and resources, but I think people are a too hard on Cata.

I agree that Firelands were probably the best thing that came out of Cata, but other than this, there wasn't really a lot of good stuff. First two raids had rather lukewarm reception, even though they featured some new art, but then we had rehash of Deadmines, Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub. Even last raid was composed of reused assets, places from Northrend and no new boss models, only Deathwing's last fight was an exception. Old zones were removed and their new versions had a lot of quests filled with memes and references, plenty of them have aged rather badly. Probably even worse than some of the older quests.

Personally, Cata is the end of "classic" to me. Kind of crazy to think it's been 14 years since then. Anyway, I have no reasons to replay this expansion.

      Here's a collection of hotfixes for Dragonflight, Season of Discovery and Cataclysm Classic for the past week, with plenty of raid and dungeon and item changes in Season 4, three classes getting some tuning in Season of Discovery, and many fixes and improvements in the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch.
      Hotfixes (Source)
      Classes
      Druid Feral Fixed an issue preventing Smoldering Frenzy (Season 4 (2) Set Bonus) from triggering effects like Seal of Diurna’s Chosen. Dungeons and Raids
      Aberrus (Awakened) Fixed an issue that caused Thadrion to continually cast Unstable Essence after the encounter had concluded. Vault of the Incarnates Cuzolth now provides their item upgrade services to players in Vault of the Incarnates. Terros Fixed an issue where Explosive Reaction was hitting pets on Mythic difficulty. Nokhud Offensive Addressed a Primalist Thunderbeast issue where Thunderstrike’s target is not correctly reflected in the unit frame. Addressed an issue where the rim visual on Static Spear and Crackling Upheaval can disappear under certain situations. Algeth’ar Academy Echo of Doragosa Arcane Rift now spawns Uncontrolled Energy 20% less frequently. Overwhelming Power now spawns Arcane Rift at 4 stacks (was 3). Fixed an issue where Vile Lasher’s Detonation Seed was not spawning on the ground. Neltharus Lava Flare’s Melt now goes on cooldown after the cast is interrupted. Chargath, Bane of Scales Fiery Focus’s Fire damage reduced by 25%. Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr The Mythic+ timer increased by 1 minute. Items
      Fixed an issue that prevented Eye of Awakening from functioning on rings purchased from Antique Bronze Bullion vendors. Fixed an issue that prevented Tiered Medallion Setting from functioning on necklaces purchased from Antique Bronze Bullion vendors. Rings and necklaces purchased from Bullion vendors should now be eligible for socket upgrades. This fix is retroactive. Amber Skitterfly should now appear in the Mount Collection for players who purchased it from the Trading Post. Legendary items can now be upgraded as intended on the Awakened track. Fixed a bug preventing legendary item upgrades from receiving appropriate stone/crest discounts. Libergo, Head Librarian of the Azure Archives Annex in Valdrakken, has been watching your actions closely and now offers to reacquaint you with your legendary weapon if you happened to misplace it. PvP staves now properly filter for Warlocks on vendors. Non-player Characters
      Vaskarn in the Emerald Dream no longer erroneously mentions that they can upgrade your gear with the use of Flightstones. Vaskarn in Valdrakken is unchanged. Quests
      While Time Rifts are empowered, Cache of Embers will now be awarded once per character per week from the quest for defeating a Time Rift Boss. Prince Farondis drank his Conjured Protein Shakes and bulked up, allowing players to complete “Save Yourself”. Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the world quest “Zaqali Elders” to fail to start.  
      Season of Discovery
      Hunter Raptor Fury now increases the damage done of Raptor strike and Mongoose Bite by 10% per stack (was 15%). The Beast Mastery rune now increases pet damage by 10% (was 20%). Shaman The Burn rune now also grants a significant bonus to spell power when Flametongue Weapon is imbued on your weapon. Rolling Thunder now has a 50% chance to trigger (was 30%). Fixed a bug causing overload procs to not add a charge to Lightning Shield when the Shaman has the Rolling Thunder rune active. Warlock Invocation now also applies to Unstable Affliction. Invocation damage can now deal critical strikes if the Warlock also has the Pandemic rune active.  
      Cataclysm Classic
      Account wide achievements that reward titles now grant them at an account level. Fixed an issue that prevented players from receiving daily Random Battleground rewards. Smoke Bomb will now properly cancel Stealth, Prowl, and Shadowmeld from enemy players. Fixed an issue that would prevent Warden Stillwater from spawning during the “Lawn of the Dead” quest. Fixed an issue where Death Knights in Blood Presence could be incorrectly, critically hit by all melee attacks. Reduced the cost of all honor and arena gear from Wrath of the Lich King, to better match honor gain while at level 80 compared to level 85. Fixed a bug causing Hunters to do trap dropping animations twice. Account wide pet collection achievements now correctly grant rewards. Fixed an issue preventing Bloodlust and Heroism from working as intended. Mounting the Violet Proto Drake now grants Master Riding to players who are at least level 80 and have Artisan Riding trained. Heal-over-time and damage-over-time ticks should now behave as intended in Cataclysm when refreshed. Developers’ notes: Previously, refreshing a DoT just before it finished its last tick could cause it to miss out on a tick. That was the correct behavior in Wrath of the Lich King, but not Cataclysm. If a Paladin misplaces the Symbol of Faith during the quest “Materials of Significance”, they may now buy a replacement from the Lost and Found vendor in Booty Bay. Fixed the Children’s Week quest “Cruisin’ the Chasm” so that it can now be completed. Boosted Paladins should now have Collective Book of Healing or Secondhand Book of Healing as expected. Fixed an issue that prevented Worgen from being eligible for some daily quests. Archaeology digsites that appear in Uldum, Twilight Highlands, and Hyjal once players hit 450 Archaeology should no longer appear until the zones are accessible on official Expansion Launch. Holidays Made some improvements to the Children’s Week Quests “The Banshee Queen”, “Malfurion Has Returned!”, and “The Fallen Chieftain” to more consistently grant quest credit. The Children’s Week holiday is now extended for one additional week. “Ridin’ The Rocketway” can now be completed. Craggle Wobbletop and Blax Bottlerocket now sell Yellow and Green Balloons for Children’s Week. Darkmoon Faire will be closed until the launch of Cataclysm, when it will return with the newly updated Darkmoon Faire Island. Warlock The Warlock Demon Soul ability will now work with the Incubus pet. Fixed an issue where Warlock Demonology pets were not properly updating from Mastery. Fixed an issue with the incorrect tooltip on Demonic Pact. It should correctly read that it grants the Warlock 2% increased personal spell damage. Mage Ignite damage will no longer be counted double toward Combustion. Refreshed Ignite that now has 3 ticks over 6 seconds will do the same amount of damage on each tick. Ignite spread by Impact and Fire Blast will no longer have a missing 2nd or 3rd tick that adds damage to future Ignites. Paladin Fixed an issue with Seals of Command where Seal of Righteousness could trigger too many procs when it hits multiple targets.

      Here's an interesting poll run by the official World of Warcraft Twitter/X account, asking players which activity "defines" their main character. 
      The choices were pretty limited, but raiding and Mythic+ came out ahead by quite a bit, at least for the around 15,000 players responding.
      Collectors, whether its transmog, mounts, achievements, or pretty much anything collectable, didn't really get a slot in the poll, and they seem to be the next largest group going by the comments, and they may even have eclipsed one or more of the given options. There are also some quite specialized players, focusing in on one very unique aspect of the game, such as Gigabear, who we recently saw creating a Godzilla-sized threat over Stormwind.

      Blizzard announced a significant nerf to the Tome of Unstable Power trinket, coming with the weekly reset and reducing its damage while setting its maximum AoE targets at 8.

      Items
      Tome of Unstable Power’s damage reduced by 20% and its AOE target cap set to 8. Our goal here is to keep the Tome very strong, while bringing it more in line with other DPS trinkets.

      Hey, remember Archaeology? Well, the man with the deep voice is back again to talk about it. If you're bored with Dragonflight or you’re one of those “must collect everything” people, Danta has another easy, but still time-consuming (as he points out himself) guide that can help you obtain a lot of rare items, pets and mounts from Archaeology!
      One  of the cooler things  you can get is the Vial of the Sands recipe, which, once crafted,  gets you the very unique Sandstone Drake mount! It actually turns you into a dragon so you can carry a person with/on you and it's getting Dynamic Flight in the upcoming War Within pre-patch. There are some other cool mounts as well, Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank and the Spirit of Eche'ro (which is an entirely separate thing in and of itself). And that's not even mentioning the many toys, pets, titles and transmogs you can get from it.
      The method itself (which some of you may already be familiar with) involves using Mantid digsites and converting all MoP digsites into them with the Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator, which then lets you have plenty of Restored Artifacts to trade for whichever mount/item you're going for. You should check out the video for the full details and what you'll need to get.
      You can see all the artifact types and rare items that may contain in his video description! Also, you can skip to 3:00 in the video to skip the Archaeology basics.
