After playing until mid Wotlk, I havent played at all Cataclysm, MOP, WOD and only played 3 months of Legion and 2 months of BFA.
I am only subbed for Classic at the moment. I love WoW don’t get me wrong, but I don’t need to play it. So if I say I am not gonna play shadowlands, I will truly not.
Saying “Youtubers are wrong” is not an opinion. There is enough evidence with many forums posts and old videos showing what was wrong in Alpha that has not been fixed by Blizzard only until patch 8.2 or 8.3 just in BFA.
You like BFA, good for you, but it is evident that the majority did not enjoy it much and even Blizzard has acknowledged this.
