Yeah, that’s the result of Blizzard having painted themselves in a corner with the constant scale escalation. Realistically, there wasn’t any need for enemies to be more powerful than the Lich King was until maybe the last couple of expansions prior to WoW shutting down.
A Lich-King-tier baddie is a massive threat that will continue to take everything both factions have even after defeating the Lich King… it’s not as if the player character absorbs the power of the bosses it downs. Jumping to cosmic scale enemies is just hilariously gratuitous.

People can get mad about Zovaal all they want but it happened. Shadowlands happened. Trying to go backwards in this way feels like a joke. Razageth is a joke and her Vulpera Cultists are a joke.
Well ok, but where can the writing team go after Zovaal that doesn’t run dry in a couple of expansions? There’s the titans, the void, and that’s about it.
I don’t know. It’s a tough position, but this Razageth thing ain’t it. I know 10.0 villains are often smaller scale than the final boss of the expansion but usually there’s something obviously bigger up on the horizon.
Perhaps the 10.0 level 70 campaign will illuminate some details that we’re missing, otherwise…
We will be getting more cosmic stuff eventually which I hope is handled carefully. The horde desperately needs a decent representative in the cosmic realm so we can do more than just sit off in the corner.
Ah, the never take risks again and just play it safe forever playbook.
Yoshi P would be proud.
There doesn’t have to be anything cosmic about Tyrant Turalyon trying to enforce his xenophobic agenda on Azeroth. I mean, they COULD bring in the Naaru and stuff, but as we’ve seen on our own world, you don’t need anything cosmic to make a ruthless dictator into the enemy of the world.
