Can we start playing World of Warcraft that feels like World of Warcraft? All these systems that have been put in place for the past few expansions has ruined the game quite a lot, from borrowed power to also very little content.
It just doesn’t feel like World of Warcraft anymore. Can we just stop removing the fun and start adding it back in.
I think one issue might be that everyone wants everything now and never willing to put in the time to wait and loot. (this could lead to future rares not being released as being wow rare)
Like the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.

Some rares inside dungeons would be super cool, ones that don’t always spawn making the player queue again and again for that chance at that rare as long as the drop is also specially unique or sort after.
I disagree and find them inherently bad. The idea that you get power over the expansion itself isn’t bad but the pig in a poke situation that you inevitably get as a result of it is and they’re always hand in hand.
What usually happens is things that your class desperately needs are held behind it and then your class is balanced around that being a thing. In Legion I shouldn’t have needed a trait (Loaded Dice) just so Roll the Buffs wasn’t insufferable to use. The ability itself should just not have sucked nearly as much as it did. However there’s no incentive to do that because fixing the ability to be tolerable would take more effort than just slapping in a random passive they needed to add anyway that makes it bearable to some degree.
Moving Loaded Dice later to a talent was a decent idea, but you don’t get it because it’s on the same line as Alacrity and nobody is passing up Alacrity. Which was the case for a lot of other specs is that key things their class needed to function got moved into talents which fed into the issue we were trying to avoid by revamping talents in the first place which was some talents were too good to not take and you got cookie cutter builds. So you’re now having to pick talents so your class doesn’t feel like trash to play over things that might be situationally useful, or pass them up and deal with your class feeling awful to play because it’s not nearly as good as the other talents on the line.
After thinking about this for a bit, borrowed power is not much different from tier sets, the more you raid (time spent playing), the more pieces you get to unlock the powers. The difference is, everyone gets these powers instead of raiders only. The system isn’t that bad, it just needs some tweaking.
If we go back to tier sets, PVP & Casual players will be screaming the screams of old, “Why do raiders get the best gear” even louder than they do now.
This I do agree with, but can give a little slack due to the “Things” happening in blizzards corp office.
