To me, much better question is if there really was such a thing as "Vanila WoW brilliance" ...
We were young, naive, and much more forgiving than we are now ... there was lots of things Vanila WoW did wrong ... but we dont even remember those ... what we remember is good stuff, packed with memories that cant be repeated, and lots of nostalgia.

Point is: No game is ever as good as your beloved classic ... not even that beloved classic itself. wink

Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
