Thats uh… a bold claim there. Got any proof that is what they like?
Linear story, I guess? I mean, there are plenty of different stories. If you claim each story is linear well… each story in classic is linear as well. So hooray?
Linear progression? What do you mean? WQ, Raids, M+ all provide progression. Are you bundling all of those together as a single progression? You could even put PvP in there too as its own progression path. Are we talking gear here? or just blanket “progression?”
If were talking gear, classic has pretty linear progression as well. You quest or craft to get gear, then run dungeons, then run raids.
Sounds linear to me. Sounds fun too. I am pretty hyped to get to play again tonight.
