Then play them the rest of the time. One weekend isn't forever.

@"MUDse.7623" provided you with the relevant quote. Ben said no... "Events shouldn't exclude large sections of the player base. No restricting events to specific classes, expansions, etc."

We already see 3 of those 5 you mentioned above on a daily basis. You would still see rangers no matter what, and you would still see core hammer revs and backline wells necros in zergs. There are also still some good sd engis running around and I fail to see how fighting any of these specs besides condi mes would be "boring".

That's exactly the point. People would only play the builds that perform well in the current iteration of the game. It wouldn't be refreshing, because we would see what we already see, except more of it...

Not one single person in the game would be excluded by a core-only weekend. An "elite-only" weekend would exclude a lot of people, but core-only excludes no one. All classes are allowed, no expansions are required. Restricting it to base-game specs is not restricting it to a specific expansion. So the quote doesn't apply.

Ben provided general statements as a guideline for what’s not going to happen. Etc... Etc... Etc...
