Sounds like a great question, here ya go 
I do not understand this at all. I find so many things to do that I do not have time to do them all. And so many other things that will take me quite a while to unlock and max out and work towards. 
There’s a difference between force grinding these things and just getting them as you go. Of course you wont have enough time to farm the 100k+ anima you need to buy all of this garbage. Covenant campaigns can be done in a single day on a fresh 60. This really isn’t content. It’s just time gated nonsense meant to keep people subbed.

I do not feel forced to do anything.
There is two years.
I cannot gain twenty something Renown ranks in one day to finish the entire campaign on an alt. I do not understand what you are saying.
What exactly was “content” last expansion?

Make.
New.
Friends.
Do you know how many LONG TERM friendships a person has in their life time?
The average is about 5.
This is an MMO, people come and go all the time. You’re going to have to learn to constantly forge new relationships with people.
There are plenty of games in this genre that you can play solo. WoW isn’t THAT.
Give Skyrim a go. It’s still viable 10 years on and you can be super powerful AND do everything yourself.

This expansions is terrible to a lot of players and partly for the reasons articulated in the OP.
M+ hasn’t been this dead in years - its impossible to get into groups as dps if you aren’t grossly overgeared. People are pissed abotu the lack of loot in raids.
World quests are less fun, longer to do, and less rewarding than ever before … and there’s no solo gearing path like there was in horrific visions.
The game is in bad shape … and there’s at least 3-4 months before the next real content patch … so its very likely to get worse …
and BLiz depsarate attempts to rectify their screwups with the Torghast nerfs, all the M+ dungeons nerfs, and finally gear bpoosts for raids and then the Valor system. its too little too late … .and all the sycophant apologists should give their heads a shake - Bliz is admitting they screwed up with all these changes, its not even up for debate how much SL has sucked…

Im sorry, were you a part of the design team that specified THAT was the goal of WoW, THE ONLY goal of WoW? To down end bosses? I dont think so.
Thanks but i dont need your permission.
I dont give a damn what YOU want, ever.

Why do people keep making up the point/focus of an MMO? An MMO is about playing in a persistent world that other people play in, it is not about forced grouping and Blizzard has had solo progression for the last few xpacs that they gutted for Shadowlands.

Pet Battles. Enjoy.
Some of y’all are just playin the wrong genre. Go hunt achievements, go RP, do the Anima farmin’ stuff, go do Torghast, play the AH etc etc.

They won’t. They have decided that the game is M+ and raiding and all the rest is just crummy filler to give the illusion that there is more to it than that. Anima being the most nonsensical resource they have ever come up with doesn’t help.

mmorpg does not mean group content. in no way, shape or form does that say group content. its people playing online together.

Change your subscription from WoW to ffxiv, you’ll probably enjoy life a lot more, or maybe not, I don’t know, I’m not psychic
Except grouping has been a core of MMO’s since they started so there’s an expectation built in when you start playing.
WOW broke the mold a built by allowing players to actually level solo but end game was always about being social.
Blizzard needs to check with Twitch before they can provide an answer to this question.
All I can say is try ESO… it has MUCH more to do that is actually rewarding for your playstyle. And it’s clear the community and Blizzard doesn’t want players like us in their game.

Is it fun Quenya ?
I think its the only one I haven’t ever looked at.
They could at least try to make more people happy… because as it is now, they seem to focus only one group.

Nothing, because this game is only designed for endgame group pve content.
And MMORPG. Massive multiplayer online role-playing game.
ROLE-PLAYING GAME. There are three other acronyms. Just because you have the ability to play with a “massive” amount of people and it’s “multiplayer” doesn’t mean it should ONLY be multiplayer. If it was designed to ONLY be played with other players, you wouldn’t be able to even enter a zone without being in a party of people.
Even still, there will be solo content for people. Maw dailies in the new zone area, and world quests.
Because that’s what you pay 15 bucks a month for as a casual that doesn’t do endgame pve content. - You pay them to work. Then they use less than 1% of what you pay to create MORE world quests and busy work.
Just looking at screenshots of the upcoming armor sets, that seem extremely unfinished, I don’t even know why they bother adding new art assets. Just make one room with a box and a series of boss encounters - add a leaderboard and some rng iLvl gear that increments by half a point for every 500 times you kill the bosses - profit.
