Most of these things were taken away because of having a better sense for game design.
if an ingame activity provides raid worthy rewards, they are adjusted so they are not a required activity for raiders. this is common knowledge. rewards at launch are inflated for sales, then lowered after they have the customer’s money.
it’s been like this for years and I’m totally neutral on this. if it bothers you, then you should not buy the x pacs at launch because they have been doing this forever…
the non raid activities have been losing appeal as of late IMO and it’s up to the customer to make a decision about the value of the game…
Your proof of this?

I agree with your list minus delves. In no way are they fun or engaging to me. Everyone I know only suffered through them for the easy heroic loot early season.
Mission tables kind of sucked as well. They required a currency to run them and were just set and forget. Not a great mechanic for an active MMORPG. They were also easily abused by mass alt farming.
Things like Torghast Tower, challenging world bosses, elite level world quests, tougher puzzle quests, secrets, and yes borrowed power like the covenants, are all great.
dont forget that it is “cancer” too.

I am ok with the first and last items. Everything else is a solid agree. However, I still run Torghast from time to time. Mission tables were just a mini FB game to keep us busy and borrowed power is just bad design.
Wierd, I have this.

Delves never ever awarded mythic track. The difficulty isn’t even close to mythic track awards.
Is this just a personal list of random stuff you personally miss? It’s a horrible list. Even torghast was frustrating in the time needed to set aside to run it (although I found it more fun than delves - borrowed power as a balance druid could do insane stuff - I definitely don’t miss the time commitment per run)
I loved being able to get some progress using the companion app when away from the game during the work day

Torghast?
lol
the took delves? when did that happen.
I swear I go in vacation for a few days and the world (of warcraft) goes to pot.
I don’t think many people asked for scaling mobs, reduced loot, and delve difficulty.
I don’t speak for all, but I at least didn’t get gear to have to try a little more to kill world quest mobs. Delves aren’t overly fun either and are rather dangerous for rewards that can taper off rather quickly, I know I’m not the target audience but they should give at least more crests per delve.
I also personally like Torghast a lot more than delves. Torghast could be equally as hard but you got powers to blast… delves have all the hard hits and none of the fun power of Torghast. Island Expeditions I also think were given up on too soon, I know delves are the “successor” but I think they are a poor one.
I never ever enjoyed this, glad it’s gone. I’m not an elitist player, it was always used to time gate.
So what’s elitist again
- The illusion that you’re good at the game
Delves were never going to award myth track. They honestly shouldn’t award hero track.
How are they not?
