Real conversation I had with another player just before I stopped playing Classic WoW this past Sunday...

*I was going into ZF (a dungeon in Tanaris)*
Party leader: "You don't have Mortal Strike?"
Me: "Not yet."
Party Leader: "Why not?"
Me: ".......what do you mean why not? I put my talent points into Cruelty so I am 5 points behind in Arms."
Party Leader: "That's why you re-spec at level 40."
Me: "I don't want to respec."

*You have been removed from the group*

This crap really happens...

You didn't make the cut

Can't talk you out of it, but if you play there understand you're getting a dumbed-down version based on the 1.12 patch period, not launch-era Warcraft. The game is generally easier than at launch, characters tend to be more powerful with the revised talent trees, and many dungeons (especially at higher levels) are MUCH easier than original. Understand that regardless of what they call it, it's NOT classic--launch era--warcraft. It's more like warcraft-lite.

Longer term, it'd be nice if Blizzard does what Jagex did with the old-style Runescape servers, and allows development to proceed in a totally different direction than the original did. I'd REALLY like to see World of Warcraft as it was originally meant to be, circa 2001-2002.
