Some would argue it’s not dead yet.

you’re so mad you read the dudes post above mine, than raged at me, you have to be a mentally ill vanilla no changes only kid, go touch grass
you made up random crap, I corrected you, as shadowlands sold more copies than DF, but you can live in pretend world, you unhinged individual
wow kids on this forum like to make fake crap on what was popular to fit their own narrative, I look at actual sales, and raw stats that prove otherwise…
You poor poor troll. You don’t even realize that this forum shows exactly who you’re replying too. Clueless about that too.
Let me guess, it was someone’s dad’s brother’s cousin that overhead the CEO say it through bathroom stalls at a burger king?
Yea but I made a ton-o-gold that I still have on my retail banking toon.
Never occured to you that maybe people felt so burned by Systemlands that they decided not to stick their hand back on the stove for Dragonflight, did it?
Kind of a shame, cause I’ve enjoyed Dragonflight for the most part, but I can’t fault people for not coming back.
Just curious what do you mean by Systemlands. I think I know but honestly just curious as to what you mean by this?

Thanks – Not really up for watching a 25 min youtube video. I was kind of hoping for a quick recap of what you meant.
Okay; in a nutshell, what ended up happening was more work, less play. This applied to solo/open world/casual players, and hardcore mythic groups and raiders alike, if you wanted to gain any power. This checklist of chores you had to do; soulbinds and conduits you had to hope dropped in dungeons. That’s on top of loot that drops from dungeons.
Currencies; that’s the fastest I can sum this up if you wanted quick, Radalpho. Anima, Soul Ash, Soul Cinders, gained from Choreghast for your legendary item and power that went with it- OPE! Sorry bout that! Patch 9.2 had dominion sockets so you get to do ALL that Tower of the Damned stuff all over again and re-farm that stuff and buy an item off AH again. WHOOPS! We did away with that after 9.2 but you farm Soul Ash AND Soul cinders now for your even higher ilvl leggo item! Get back to work, player! That kinda thing.
Back to currencies; Stygia, Tower Knowledge, Catalogued Research, Cyphers of the First Ones, you had the renown grind which if I remember correctly, gated your conduit progress all the way until the last patch (in tandem with the main story quest chain).
See, this is my point; the sheer BLOAT of all of this does not allow me to give you a short answer even condensing it down this far. That’s my point. That’s the problem. In Dragonflight we started seeing some currency issues ballooning a little bit but not NEAR on the level Systemlands had it, and there’s no borrowed power in DF unlike in SL or BFA, outside of your item level which that’s been a thing since the dawn of Warcraft time.
I do not wish to spell this out any further, Radalpho- on wowhead there’s a list of the currencies if you want to look that up. Youtube vids are everywhere on why Systemlands pushed people away. Or at the very least, the how if not the why.

Thanks for the nutshell update…no I got the gist of where you were going so no worries, and it makes sense. I am with you on this. The UI, all the currencies, all of the faction reps and the whole total bloat of things (to make everyone happy I guess) is what drove me away from retail. Again, I do appreciate the Cliff Notes version so thanks!
no. The cata beta is riddled with bugs it will be months before release. (mid june to july i’d say)
I’m going with May for patch.
