The 7 year old said what appears in the subject heading. That chore business is OP intrepretation.
Guess you missed
All in one phrase from a boy who loves this game
No I didn’t miss that. I read the first part though.
The one phrase was ’ I don’t have any anima’.
7 and 9 year olds are able to simply state a problem vs cry about it. How refreshing.

Are you a dinosaur?
Imagine being upset that you can’t burn through what’s supposed to be an expansion long progression path
How did you determine the child was upset? They just did the sensible thing when you don’t enjoy something, they just stopped doing it.
Imagine missing the point this badly after people have done the math.

Hey, don’t make fun of we dinosaurs, there are more of us than you might think. No calculators in school, unless you want to count slide rules or an abacus. One of my first technologically advanced games was a Football game that worked by vibrating a metal playing field causing the players to, hopefully, advance down the field

I’m not really talking about pug raiding.
I was in a raid group back then who did all the vanilla content (well… till about 4 bosses into Naxx). Some people were great. Some were… god awful. It was more a case of bums on seats rather than high levels of skill required.
While raiding was harder than classic makes it out to be, once you got a slot in a group, you were pretty much good to go (as long as you showed). Yes, there was drama/people being poached/etc but the mechanics were fairly simple, most bosses were dps checks and it was entirely possible for someone to start playing, level to 60, get into a raid group and play all the ‘end game’ content.
Now… endgame is something most of us aren’t ever going to see. And I’m not talking about ‘I saw the raid in group finder’ I mean 'I finished the game at the highest level of difficulty. Mythic raiding, +15 mythic clears, 2400+ gladiator rating? MILES out of reach for the average player. Who definitely seems to be aware that there’s suddenly an entire ‘real’ high end game they’ll never experience without paying for carries.
My take on this is its made the game fun for a very focused, small part of the player base but has lost the ‘anyone can theoretically do this’ feel of the past which I think played a huge role in making wow so popular.
That make sense?

I think when I say world scaling people are getting the wrong idea, although I don’t fully agree with the level scaling of zones much either, I mean the fact that after max level, mobs continue to scale with your gear to a certain point where the scaling really slows down. Get rid of this and casuals probably wouldn’t be asking for such ilvl gear. At least I know I wouldn’t be, as I get better gear I expect mobs to get weaker.

Yup, and the little cotton footballs with the metal, spring activated, kicker 
good times.
Right, but instead of actually motivating people to log on regularly and for extended periods, all they’ve managed to do is alienate their customers - drive them away. They got a tad greedy. We’re no longer a customer, we’re a commodity to be managed / exploited for profit. Screw that.

WoW isn’t a 6 hour single-player campaign or an FPS death-match game, it’s an MMO. A fundamental part of the MMO experience is grinding, it’s required to give players long-term goals they can progress to.
Anima is plentiful if you actually do content. Both raiding and RBG’s give vast amounts of anima in relatively short periods of time. Even Arenas and M+ give modest amounts, meaning that you can grind whatever content you choose and get anima in the process.
Maybe it’s just me, but I have no idea where people’s anima is going. I recently spent 30k all at once on my alt because it was all building up, and he only gets it through pvp. Like wise my main recently took his transporter network from level 0 to level 3 due to getting close to cap. Other than that I cannot seem to find the elusive “anima drains” which everyone seems to be tying all of their fun to.

So what’s that? Like 14-28 hours a week or something?
That is a part-time job.

7 year old? shouldnt even be playing an online game at that age, what a bad parent you are. Shame on you
Does that seem like a lot to you?
Do you not spend 1-2 hours, a day, doing leisure activities? Even something like reading / watching tv / going for a walk?
You think… playing 1-2 hours a day, and possibly 3 hours a day on the weekend, is work? I guess when I go out on my Onewheel, cruising around town and down trails, guess that’s work too. Or maybe when am at the skating rink, chilling with my niece for an hour or so as she shows of her derby moves, that’s work too?
I mean, if you think a hobby is work, you need to get your own life in order imho.
