And it will get worst and worst from here. We have people defending these changes. Let’s see how it goes.
Not really. Not according to them even.

While it is not very publicized by the people here, yes, there is an effort from the developers and based on actual player feedback to remove and change content.
Citing those articles people refrain from citing because it might go against their other aims, there is actually plenty of public statements on that direction:
“We know that in order to rebuild trust, we must earn it with our actions in the weeks and months to come,” Blizzard said. “But we go forward knowing that we share the same vision as our community about creating a place where people of all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and backgrounds can thrive and proudly call home.”
“I feel sick that the game has numerous NPCs and stories with this guy’s name”, one player wrote on Blizzard’s forum. “I love WoW but I just can’t stand this.” On the WoW subreddit, there’s a thread calling for Field Marshal Afrasiabi to be removed from Stormwind City, and another in which a player uses the /spit emote on him.
Some people might criticize the intentions in speaking out, but spoken out it is being, nonetheless.
when you look at wow overall how many changes in the game have been good as shadowlands sits here id have to say not many thru the yrs yes some were but lack of players says alot these recent changes will be put on the side of terrible changes definitely when on/off option was fine.

Wish more people had this mindset. World of Warcraft isn’t the big kid on the block anymore.
Sure, they make a boat load of money, but they do that by making more money per customer than before. So losing customers has a worse effect than before.

If you want an authentic WoW experience, look to private servers.

Right now that would not be possible as it would go against their reason for doing it (public opinion). Down the road anything is possible but for now there is no way they can backtrack on anything they have announced/changed. Will these changes help them? Probably minimally if at all but going back on them would be detrimental to their goals of these changes.
The best bet is to find a private server and play on that. I might start looking for one myself.
