Back in original wrath I had a friend. Played a hunter and was a leatherworker. I pulled him into the guild I was in a the time and worked to get him some spots in our raid.
He told me later, that part was never fun for him. He just wanted to wander the land “Cane from Kung Fu” style. Killing things, skinning them and making leather armor. That was the fun for him.
Original wrath, especially it’s final form was really a game for every play style and most of those playing didn’t do what the devs are focusing on. Single digits every raided. Even today, with classic if it’s 10x as much it’s still going to be barely in double digits.
They need to make sure that the other 80-90% are happy or this game will look like vanilla classic. Maybe that’s enough for you.
