I was under the impression that WoW classic came about because nu-WoW was hemorrhaging players to other, better MMO's, such as FFXIV and Guild Wars 2.

Not much need for a GW Classic if GW2 is still going strong.

Yeah. All GW1 pretty much needs at this point is just the Beyond chapter of Elona and 2 professions unique to Prophecies, one heavy armor, one medium armor. And having Prophecies and Factions weapon drops updated to the new system used in Nightfall and EotN, with inscriptions and more upgrades, and making the upgrades have fixed stats like armor upgrades, so they can get their own trader NPC.
And then rig the trader NPCs to always have supllies at a premium cost so GW1's economy does not depend on bots to stay supplied.

There's no way we'll ever see new professions , and I doubt they'll ever update the weapon drops. But they have already done some new quests. So there's still a bit of hope for "Rise of Joko".
