Like everyone has said Blizzard making vanilla servers not gonna happen ever too big of a pain for them. If you want to still have a challenge while raid old raids you can still do that heck if your guild was willing you could all make level 60 alts and raid with them but it would take a while.... but hey it is POSSIBLE.
Good point, why is it that you can't do this ... it's all just a matter of self-control. Get yourself and a bunch of your friends to 60 and do old content till it comes out of your ears, thay way you can make it as hard on yourself as you want.
I never raided pre-tbc, I have only heard of how much an absolute nightmare it was trying to get 40 people together, and working together. My current guild-mates are all MC / AQ40 / BWL "Vets" ... they've been there, done it all (at least most of it) ... and firmly maintain that it sucked. The result of which is that our guild charter specifies quite clearly that if we never do 25 mans, it's perfectly cool ... we'll do 10 mans together and have fun doing it .. if we never progress, but continue having a blast ... then we're succeeding, and I'm perfectly happy with that.
As for the old honor system ... I've owned far too many players in BG's with "Grand Marshall" above their heads to know with absolute certainty that they got that title simply cos they were able to put enormous amounts of time in, not because they are skilled PvPers (yes, I suck, and I can still beat them !)
You want to do well in Arenas today ... you have to be able to PvP properly. No, I'm not talking about getting the gear as a measure, cos everybody can get that .. I'm talking about making it to the top of the rankings ... Putting in time more than anybody else doesn't guarentee that ranking ... it used to, not any more. To me, that's an improvement.
So ... "Are you the only one who would like Vanilla Wow Servers" ... probably not, but you are so much in the minority, your collective subscriptions for the next year would probably not cover the capital outlay required to run a seperate infrastructure to give you what you want.
Now ... let me ask THIS question ... Am I the only one that sees a market for a perma-death server ;->
