The WB meta was being utilized by top performing guilds in vanilla to down Naxx.

I actually very much appreciated something “new” to do in classic.

While losing WBs sucked, the way our guild did it, getting everything in the span of a few hours late Friday night. Was actually a really fun and communal experience.

Your unwillingness to embrace a refined tactic is what “killed” classic for you.

That mentality of not wanting to put in effort is what made retail what is today. You don’t want to avoid fire, so they reduce fire dmg and increase healing and self healing. You don’t want to being consumes, so they make the encounters so undertuned you don’t need them.
