In the mean time HoTS just sits by itself in the corner.

Setting aside questionable aspects of using ‘passion’ as a metric anyway, I think it’s unfair to say the WoW dev team is creatively bankrupt.
WoW does certain things creatively very well. Art direction, music, class design are all quite good and creative. I would argue that WoW’s instance design is still a league above literally any other MMO on the market.
I do think that Hearthstone grasps a certain spirit, a certain aspect, of the universe that SL in particular doesn’t.

At this point I don’t think it is… but that’s my opinion.
We must be playing two different games, art is good. Music this expac is … there? It’s completely unmemorable. Class design is an absolute disaster in many cases IMO though. Totally not biased because warlock… but seriously it’s bad.
I could draw parallels to other games but I’m tired of doing so, those games still employ things like full time composers. Blizz fired theirs.

Agree with the rest, but class design is not very diverse or super thought out. Almost every class plays the same or has equivalent spells to each other, with only slight differences.
Shadowlands had a very cool concept with the Scourge unleashed on the world, favorite characters kidnapped, the Jailer feeding off the fallen souls, and meeting various important characters from WoW’s past.
…however, the treatment of this concept varied.

Jeeeze they are really jammin’ over there in Hearthstone, whereas we get an overly serious robot that wants to unmake reality instead of unmake the problem they saw.

Modern World of Warcraft is more like a FPS than an MMORPG.
Be honest, do you actually play Hearthstone?
I left the game years ago because it felt like a predatory mobile phone scam aimed at children.
I’ll stick with the creative team behind WoW, thanks.

I get the point you’re making but Hearthstone is even more monetised than wow is
if you ran out of gold. then prob. 
Too long have the metalheads ruled the roost on both factions, edm will unite Azeroth
The sundering was actually a beat drop, few know this tidbit of ancient elven history.

Body positive Nightborne, nice.
Yes…that is indeed a problem
i would never play this as an expansion. i have a fear of deep water.
You can’t base a game off a trailer.
The first four SWTOR trailers were better than any SW movie released after 1983 but the game itself? 6 out of 10 before 7.0, 1 out of 10 now.

I hate to disappoint you, but wow itself has 2 teams working on it, one on retail that seems to be phoning it in when they aren’t doing things to the game to annoy people, and the other working on the next expansion, about which we know absolutely nothing. And unfortunately, we will really have no clue about that - in more detail than a glitzy trailer, anyway - until a beta goes live sometime in the distant future.
At this point even a trailer is better than shadowlands
