I love going back and doing Legion stuff over again. Even though I played it in its entirety during that expansion, had leveled all classes to max and did all class halls, “old” Legion still wins out over current Slands content, for me.

While he has a point, that would depend on what got skipped in the rush. If Shadowlands had been less rushed, it would have still had all the systems and time-wasting annoyances people hated. Just fewer times you fell through the ground and got dc’d.

I feel the same way.
Playing wow has become disjointed, onerous, and unrewarding. The only thing they really do well anymore is raids and even those have some issues.
I highly suggest checking out Lost Ark, which is going to release in February. It looks and plays amazingly well. In addition, they have a humble and hardworking dev team. I highly recommend checking out the roadmap that they just released for the upcoming year because it was HUGE, to the point that the players are saying this is too much content. Something I’ve never seen happen with WoW…
I was never one for Korean MMOs but this game had me hooked even before I played the beta.
No - there was a huge difference between MoP and WoD for family/casual/social guilds.
WoD poured acid all over the social bonds holding those groups together. Everyone was isolated in their own little garrison world, and they realized that was the way the expansion was going to run. So… starting about 6 months in there was tremendous fall off in participation and guild rosters.
Those people never came back. They were never motivated by raiding. Sure, it was nice to do, but the guilds I was talking about were always a tier behind. For example, if they were still going, they’d be working through CN right now. Having a blast. Maybe a little bit of SoD, but not too much. They’d all be farming and crafting like crazy trading legos, flasks, enchants, potions, gem and potions among themselves… Having a great time goofing off.
I believe - WoD was the beginning of the transition to E-Sports and then borrowed power systems in Legion.
The demographics have changed a lot and it’s not a world now. It’s a game. As I’ve said before, it’s a good game, but it’s still just a game.
For me - I like leveling through WoD. I always setup a level 3 garrison on each char for the hearth, a place to hang out and easy access to pet battle world bosses. But I still remember what it did to the social groups I was a part of.
Edit: More of my thoughts on WoD from another thread:

He is a liar
Ion saying one thing and the game going in the complete opposite direction is a pretty common occurrence.
Oh that one will be coming next time. Always next time lol
