A rant from a 15 year WoW player about alts, essences, and Blizzard

Are you actually under the impression that if the “devs just listened to us” we would hit wrath numbers again? Spoiler, wrath lost half its subs too.

This game is never getting to those numbers. There is too much competition and this game requires too much investment to be relevant for new players to consider. Why would a 12-15 year old spend weeks/months leveling starting at lvl 1 with no mounts, gold or idea of what is happening when they could be playing vr 3d lightsaber battles for half the price?
