I've semi-actively played WoW since it's launch in 2004, and have never understood the appeal of returning to vanilla. I enjoy the progress the game has made, where it's at, and being able to just solo all the old raids and dungeons when I want to re-visit that shit. The idea of classic leveling speed, skills, talents, etc. sounds pretty awful.
I messed with private servers a few times many many years back, and the fun in them was always killing 3 mobs that gave a billion exp, hitting the leveling cap, and buying high end armor for a few copper, then tearing shit up for 20 minutes before I was bored. (Not far off from the live game now, at the level cap.)
I mean, I'm glad people are stoked, and hope they enjoy it, but the only fun I personally can see in this is seeing some of the pre-Cataclysm zones. Not enough to actually play more than a few hours, though.
