He's right though. I expect AQ War Effort to start in late June or early July and Naxx with or directly after Blizzcon in November. I doubt they are going to wow classic gold wait 6 months between AQ and Naxx like on retail vanilla.
If you check the dates, you'll notice that WOW Classic is, except for bg releases, quite always on a slower pace with EU launch as a starting point. The timing between the patches is. It's a fatal flaw in your justification to utilize NA launch Maraudon was in at WOW Classic launch, after NA release initially, Maraudon didn't release until a month, so it doesn't match.
In the first release, the first raid managers fell 3 months before EU release, i.e. 2 months after NA release. At the time the raids from the first WoW set foot in WOW Classic casuals have been pugging it. The content drought could be drive individuals away. When Ragnaros dropped in WOW Classic no one was close to 60 from the original WoW (I beleive world first 60 took 2-3 weeks). Does it make any sense for you to delay ALL content releases by 3 months due to using NA release as the starting point when this is the condition of affairs?
How can you believe WOW Classic compares to FFXIV
So lately whenever I've seen a discussion come up debating between FFXIV and WoW, the majority of the men and women who call for FFXIV claim it blows WoW from the water, but also seem to only be talking about Retail, or comparing the graphics and berating the blocky 2004 graphics of WOW Classic. However from my time playing FFXIV it rubbed off to me like Retail WoW but with nicer graphics, casing, and more effective. The Jobs did not seem to have any"Class Fantasy" or Flavor like buy classic gold wow does. Black Mages don't have the capability to open portals they can not conjure food and water, hurry through dungeons and FATEs and just people do not seem to work or communicate.
