Have You even given a thought to how professions are gonna play out on a fresh server? After You're done leveling to 70 You will have to spend weeks if not more leveling your professions in Vanilla zones competing with loads of other people. You won't have any gold to buy crafting materials You need from the AH.
There is nothing fun about that.

Nothing fun about it? It's one of my main reasons to want fresh servers for
Yes, it was the same when we started playing classic
So... level playing field? Everyone is in the same boat on the server.
I mean.. 'Fresh' doesn't have to be with TBC out. I feel like most people who want 'Fresh' would be more than happy to have it with the pre-patch, which gives time to do both.
Most that want fresh more than likely want one, or both of two things. A lively leveling experience with everyone out and about, leading to a variety of interactions and new friendships along the way.. and/or a complete market/progression reset. The issue you mention aligns with that as a positive.
This. I don't care when it releases, I don't want to START getting into TBC with a screwed up economy - sure it might get screwed going forward if they don't handle bots etc, but atleast it doesn't start off that way.
Hey they can clear my bags of items and gold and I can transfer my existing character aswell for all I care. I don't wanna get back to an inflated economy before we've even began.
Fresh will come.
There’s so many subscriptions who won’t play without it.
Yes, and thats nice.
this has to be the worst argument against fresh ever thought up lol
Whats the big deal if people want to play fresh or not? Personally I wouldnt go fresh but if they made a few servers for the people that want to do it I dont see how it really hurts anybody else.
Weeks? That's a bit of an exaggeration.
I enjoy lowlvl dungeons ;( Thats why I want fresh tbc!
Cool. Don't care. Still want it. Professions are not the freaking end-goal to me.
Well, i would not play on one, but private servers have not had a big problem with it before so there would probably not been one now either.
I’ve hit 300 on almost every profession on 6 of my 60s with the exception of enchanting about the same day as getting 60. Gather and even crafting is very doable. Blacksmithing and enchanting are a bit harder than most but it’s doable.
You do realize that is a big part of the fun of a fresh right? Imo getting your professions leveled and the crafted piece you need from it is like half the fun of TBC.
That's not how it was when TBC released tho. People had their professions at 300 and people had gold to buy the needed crafted materials.
That is not true for all servers during TBC. Some new servers were created at TBC's launch. So there's definitely a precedent for it and people managed to play on those servers fine.
