As I am reading through the posts here I am seeing the same things over and over again, so I wanted to break it down a bit.
Economy - The economy is a constant source of pain. Even though Blizzard supposedly hired someone to take care of this lol. The general issue of things is that players charge what they want to charge regardless of what the item is. We determine whether or not to buy it while making little in the way of farming or general drops from mobs. So Blizz has a market for selling Gold (which did not exist originally) but Blizz wanted to get a cut of the action and instead of Gold Sellers they decided to charge us themselves. This has been a laughingstock for years. Blizzard has never taken care of this and won’t. But they gratefully take our money from Mounts, Shop items and yes to get gold.
Content - Since this new team has taken over we have had repeated content that is reinventing the wheel. Old content that was already done by other they are using to make us happy. However, I want to point out your paying for the same content that existed 15 years ago so it not really new. Since Legion they have been struggling with anything that gamers really want to come back and say hey that’s new. But now they are trying to put us back to where we were when they nerfed us in Legion. Instead of leaving what is already done they are recreating it. For example, the Spider people. They existed in WoLK. You didn’t like the legendries in Legion, so you took what they did and put it on the talent tree which is a pale comparison. So, all I am seeing on content is either repeating things or working with things that people originally thought was terrible. Like Goblins. So, what we have now is content that older gamers (the money spenders) are not into, so we are doing old content?
**Just a note here it’s not fun if people don’t like it.
You came out with the Siren Isle because the developers made a comment on an interview that we as gamers were not ready for the new content and Mythic+ was broken. So you added the Siren Isles to strengthen us for the Dornagal content which is not balanced nor was Dragonflight. Once again people did old content. So in the expansions since you nerfed Legion we have learned that Blizz is more interested in their own pockets rather than the fact this is a game and should be fun. The content is a remake of old content. And the expansions that followed were boring and without the typical Blizzard flair. The you added a Steampunk director to advance the sci-fi aspect of the game. When originally this game frowned on that as it was in line with high fantasy. They created engineering for this reason. Everything else was kept low key. What happened to exploration, the hunting for Lore and the ability to survive and afford the basics of what you need equipment and lord food.
Overall - We are just seeing the continuing problems resurfacing over and over again. The content is subpar. The ability to keep your gamers interested is fading. We have mechanics issues and slow time in resolving issues (could be because you removed guildmasters from the company). In addition, you have an economy that is no uncertain terms unhealthy for the players. And a greedy corporate system that says take the money from the gamers, but don’t give them anything remotely fun. Sounds like milking the system to me. I as a gamer and a Veteran am pretty sick and tired of spending money on a game that the very creators have no idea what the gaming community wants because they are more interested in the money and less on the game. As long as that exists and these problems exist I don’t see us going far.
