At least the creators and the community and even the animation creators know what we want, and feel.
And there is only one identity who does not know or want to know is Blizzard.
the community know what they want ?
lol

Technically, yes…however, the problem is that different parts of the community wants lots of different things, and many of those things directly conflict with each other.

Back in early days of WoW game was just a background for player to player interaction. MMO aspect of it the most prominent feature. That’s why back then meeting someone while leveling in Westfall was so much of a deal. You would stop for a chat, maybe team up, duel few times. Nowadays we live in an online era where almost anything you do is connected to massive network and this aspect of the game doesnt impress anyone anymore. Instead people focus more on competition and cooperation with one another, more esport like elements of the game.
It really reminds me of small town vs big city community. In smaller settlements every one knows one another, people are more friendly, interested in others, more charty. And in big cities? People stick to their small group of friends, while treating others with totall indifference or as a neccesery means to their goals. A lot like doing an instance with randomes back in classic and right now via group Finder.

Luckily enough, the TBC server I spend my time at is more leaning towards the old ways. I’m really having a blast with it. 
Man are you reading my mind? One smart voice between tbc hype spam and retail hate. This was same when Classic came out. Grinding lvl on classic…amazing…grinding something on retail…wrong design…

WoW is literally in its after life. StallingLands isnt a coincidence. It looks like they are systematically killing the game on purpose, but I like your naive optimism.
Yes, as you intentionally kill your biggest IP because that is absolute beautiful business sense. Remind me to talk to you when I’ve got a few magic beans up for sale.

The thing is that they use scammy strats, make ppl hate them due to their marketing strategies, playing the game itself is garbage experience. This makes the community frustrated AF and then we have all the british white knights crying about ppl being toxic etc. It all ends in ppl quitting and this system will eventually just crumble under all the bandaids and fake promises nobody believes anymore.
I hear that and agree in part, but (and it’s just more logical to myself) it would be more better to simply improve the game thank try and milk every ounce out of it. I’d rather give it one last whirl and see what they come up with first before dismissing out right, I’ve been hilariously wrong about some games being unstable in the past (hello FF14 ARR).
Yep, this. It looks like they went too far with this low effort and low cost strategy that they’ve made their customers furious and also undermine the entire wow future with releasing classic,tbc and obvious wotlk on top of that.
ok,wanna cry together with me? i have some napkins.
It says it all. Sad but true
Problem is, and that whas true 2008 already, those guys that are in power do not think long-term. They do not think that whith some expensive medicine the cow can still reliable get milked for another two decades. They think to get the cow bring long term such milk requires a big sum where in the end it is not even sure if she will survive it so we better do as before, still wring out as much as we can and then burry our ancient cow because she is a thing of yesterday and these modern new cows bring much more milk.
So yeah this going away from Oldschool business will extend to a bubble until either she explode or like with the new speach of 1984 gamers will come to understand, that it is totally natural to spend 200€ for big powerboost and those that are not rich are only the NPCs for those rich PCs.
