That’s what I was doing in BFA and the start of Shadowlands. But things looked so good early on I got tricked into the 6 month sub thinking there would be more awesome stuff soon. Not making that mistake again.
I’m going to skip 9.1 and continue playing other MMOs and other games for a while. I’ll check back in on 9.2 or 9.3 otherwise I’ll wait it out for 10.x to see if they’ve changed direction.
