For me I recall a deep emotion on my early journey. It felt like a journey. Running the full length of Darkshore back and forth to do quests and handin's was a pain. Nothing was fast or easy and getting a drop from a dungeon even if it was green was epic. A few of my early characters were casters and getting the staff from Deadmines was a thing to behold. Never mind having to travel to the dungeon location and actually type in local chat responding to a person LF1M dps.
There is a lot of nostalgia involved of course. But the game seemed more meaningful. It was a journey and I was an adventurer. The world was bigger than me and the sheer scale was awe inspiring.
I dont' know what Blizzard can do to remedy the player base they currently have but a server option for a past "vanilla" wow sounds good even if they wont or can't do it. Legion will tell a lot about what Blizz thinks it's players should do.
Dark Legacy comics have had some fun with that subject.
