I am the Queen of the Ogres of Outland. Really. Now and then I visit my subjects and they are always faithful.
I hope they never “revamp” Outland. 
I feel like we’ve been the main character since Legion.
We wielded the artifact weapons and saved Azeroth
We wore the Heart of Azeroth and did it again
We united the covenants and save reality itself
We have main character syndrome now, I’d rather just be a random adventurer that’s a smaller part of the main story honestly. I’m over being the Champion of Azeroth or the chosen one in every quest dialogue.
I also think that WoW strikes a good compromise. We are individually very powerful, but become all powerful only we revisit old content. It’s as part of a team that we become unstoppable by anything. And we are recognised by NPCs more as a very valuable part of a team, rather than a unique snowflake.
And if I decided to just adventure around, or fish, for years, nobody would come to pester me.

Every time they say this I mentally re-write it to “EXPENDABLE SUCKER!!!”

I am a proud potato.
Video games came out before D&D.
The first video game was made in 1958. D&D didn’t come out until the 1970s.
AKA: “Azerite drug runner”.
you may be a weak peasant with a stick but i AM BREADLY! AND I AM HERE FOR CARROT! bonus points if anyone gets this reference.
takes a bulldozer to blades edge mountain
Isn’t that a good thing?
Oh dear… Dwarven Battle bread… watch out for the scones, they’ll one shot you!! 
I mean, even in Classic you’re far from “just a peasant” by the time you start the end-game story stuff. By TBC we’re already getting to powerful levels, and by Wrath it’s just silly.
I think it would be nicer if our characters were brought down a peg – same for other MMOs like SWTOR – but I mean, we’ve always been Very Important People.
Wow, that’s quite a pantheon of heroes. I’m feeling my age because, growing up, mine were Crusader Rabbit, Tom Terrific (and Mighty Manfred the wonder dog), Mighty Mouse, Rocket J Squirrel (and Bulwinkle the moose), George (of the Jungle), Huey, Dewey and Louie, and Scrooge McDuck. I didn’t read Tolkien until I got to college and my ‘youth’ was past tense.
I was (kind of) content playing a character that did things for NPCs and developed a reputation with the various factions. When ‘they’ started trying to make out like my main was something special (special ops, garrison commander, etc.), it didn’t gel because it was still fetch and carry quests. Except for missions, I wasn’t in charge and others told me what to do just like before. I contrast this with SWTOR where my toons have an ongoing class quest (the main story) along with ‘side’ quests (local stories) in which my toons actually do important things, advance the cause, and gain ‘respect’ of npcs, and the villains actually try to do me in. I’ve played Wow for the immersion in the world, something I don’t get in retail or in SWTOR which keeps switching worlds.
