As old stuff keeps getting shoved back in as new features ( much like half my hunter identity was removed and shoved into artifacts from WoD to Legion), the current look of Dragonflight is as scary as Shadowlands.
It’s a pitty really, the homogenization of a lot of small stuff, removal of interesting details and polishment. I’m not sure how bad damage control or surreal deadlines made wow what it is now, but i liked the old burger joint, now it’s just some big conglomerate tasteless crap trying to pretend theres anything besides profit on the sidelines.
It’s probably too late for WoW, for any spark of what it once had, dif team, dif priorities, just a sad thing to see.
I’ll check the DF updates as ripcords are pulled on .2 and .3 patches, but it’s most likely some measly improvement.
The S01 rehash of old dungeons for M+ is just insane in my eyes, we went from cool production and ok reusage (timewalking) to just lazy crazyness.
At one point everything goes downhill, just hoped WoW would try a bit harder, but the stubborn blindness during the past 3 xpacs just proves the playerbase what’s in the future, McDonalds, sadly.

While I agree with your overall premise, McDonalds does serve a purpose. I know that most of the time I go to McDonalds I usually get something messed up or missing from my order, and overall crap service. That’s not to say you can’t have a win at McDonalds on a day with good service and and the correct order, but that would only be temporary as you will most likely return next time to poor execution and cold food.
What does McDonalds do great? Well that opinion is really in the eye of the beholder. Do they do what you want well enough to justify spending your time and money to eat there? Do you feel happy with the choices McDonalds offers or do you feel yourself craving a more diverse menu that other burger joints or even other styles of food bring?
IMO McDonalds is a perfect place to go and grab a cheap coffee/drink and a sausage biscuit in the morning. The Big Mac is an iconic sandwich, one which always seems to taste great even though you’ve eaten it so many times over the years. They offer decent value options through their app. McDonalds “premium line” line of burgers and chicken sandwiches are a meager attempt to compete with other chains that are offering premium options for a premium price, McDonalds just doesn’t cut the mustard for the price. Why did I mention any of this? Perspective…
WoW is McDonalds imo. It’s days of eye widening excitement are behind them. You obviously can’t see the future, however, you can look at what it does do and decide from there. I like running old content, making new characters with new rps, crafting, collecting transmogs/pets/mounts, earning achievements. WoW has many expansions; good “value” so to speak. Playing Classic versions and reminiscing of the days past is kind of like when I had my 1st Big Mac. Something special for a good long while, as we know though, “No king rules forever”. I don’t expect to be utterly blown away by WoW, however, I know what they do good for me and what they don’t. And to a point both are businesses. Not putting anyone down, anyone can choose how to spend their own money. If WoW doesn’t offer something that you like, well then, there’s always “Wendy’s” and “Burger King” that are super well known (if you catch my drift), who knows you may find you like a regional burger chain like In-N-Out or Culver’s (niche games); each with their own “menu and offerings” for you to explore.
BTW as a side note: The only reason I ever go to to a Wendy’s is to get the Pretzel Bacon Pub Burger. IMO everything else at Wendy’s is useless except for the Spicy Chicken sandwich and Spicy Nuggets, but that is chicken…As soon as Wendy’s stops offering the Pub Burger they no longer hold my interest. The same can be said of any game that stops offering what I like, but as long as I feel fulfilled enough for the time being it’s enough for me. At the end of the day it’s all time gone, just as a burger passing through you only to leave the next day, lol.

Lmao this such a noob take.
Legit you have actually zero constructive criticism here.
Your complaint is M+ is lazy when we are getting the same amount of dungeons as any other expansion.
This post is truly meaningless, go play classic

WoW is as smooth as it was when it was released. My fireball still fires the same way. I still stealth around npcs the same.
You can’t expect a game to stay fresh and never change, and you can’t expect to play a game for years (decades for some) and expect to wow you still.
But they can’t all be zingers.
