I don’t know why people go through all this trouble just to give money to publishers that don’t give a shit about you. There’s nothing on Blizzard worth buying anymore. Don’t bother. Blizzard is, for all intents and purposes, dead.
I’m involved in the development of an addon for the Classic WoW versions (Questie), and the thing I do there is such a convoluted process that not doing it feels like letting my fellow devs and the users down. But you can do development on the PTRs and beta servers, so I haven’t given money to Blizzard in a long time. Now you could argue that this is even worse in regards to supporting Blizzard than just paying for a game, but I rationalise it to myself with the fact that the newer clients will inevitably be used for private servers just like the old ones were (some already are actually).
