Because misery loves company
I want current WoW to die, with its overcomplicated systems, butchered lore, terrible storytelling, lack of casual/relaxed content, needless anti-fun design, and constant push to grind for player power.
I want the game to be simple again. Give us some good dungeons and raids, maybe a new BG now and then, put some more emphasis on professions, and just stop worrying about one-expansion, overly designed, unfun borrowed power systems.

Meh on that. Kael’thas is pretty much a good guy again. Still waiting to see how the Sylvanas story pans out.
RTS games are fun but id rather get play a character i can connect with, go on adventures , and get engrossed in the world rather than command armies from afar
Much of what you said, I can definitely agree with. I would prefer less complicated systems and I haven’t hid my distaste for the current creative direction of WoW lore.
But, I think WoW currently puts out very strong dungeon and raid content. The advent of Mythic plus introduced small-group repeatable content that really improved dungeon gameplay.
The only way the mmo market will thrive again is when some company and dev’s bring out something great which never happens remember that feeling when you first started wow or any other game and you was like this is the stuff mmo players wander around trying to find it again some are happy but alot ain’t. And the simple fact these games are time consuming do people even want that anymore? Well if your competitive anyway.
It is mostly us americans who are like this, our country is so tribalistic right now that people here would cut off our noses to spite our face.
Legion was one of the best expansions the game has seen, had it been put out as is right after Wrath…this game would have continued to gain players for years.
I’ll say it once, I’ll say it again.
I don’t want WoW to die. I want whoever is steering this boat thrown overboard and replace with people that aren’t trying to ram it into as many stupid icebergs as they can find.

It has to do with virtue signaling and the illusion of power they think they have.
I for one will wait until all the evidence is in before I make any hasty judgements. There are more good folks who work at Blizzard than the bad ones and I don’t understand why people want to hurt them too.
Don’t want it to die. But would like them to go back to a pre Wod model/game design. And get away from all these systems, currencies, and borrowed power stuff.
Can’t do that, he’s not a strong female character 
This is just the life of any successful MMO when it’s been out for a long period and, things change over time. EverQuest went through the same situation with people leaving the game due to various factors be it terrible customer support experiences, not enjoying content, something internal changing at SOE to jump ship to WoW.
And EQ is still alive 23 years later. Twilighted, perhaps, but there’s still a community.
Hell, Runescape is thriving.

Death of current wow may give life to something better. There’s nothing to salvage besides legacy content. Systems are trash, story is trash, playtime metrics in monthly sub game is trash, playing only current patch is trash.

Exactly mate
Because they actually LISTEN to the players / community , the sales dept doesn’t run the company like Activision
Pheonix Down, I want it to rise from its ashes in a new incarnation that presents enjoyable content to mimic the feeling of a fresh launch (that first time setting foot out on azeroth since WC3… that feeling of both comforting familiar setting with notable NPCs I know and admire and also the entire breadth and majesty of a new world to explore and adventures to be had).
I dont? more power to ya.
This is usually what draws me back in to wow but I think blizzard does a really bad job of this. With the exception of flex raiding they have done nothing to innovate or enhance this gameplay… literaly weekly raid and/or pvp has remained the only content to enjoy together imo.
I am trying to find a game I enjoy as much as wow at its peak levels of my enjoyment… thats the problem… I am chasing a high I just cant find. Wow is not wow anymore to me, finding another game that beats wow at its best probably says more about my issues than it does what the game is doing.
That said I am open to it, I cant play wow as much as I used to so I wanted a game that will let me get straight in for “instant gratification, along with meaningful long terms goals I can work towards”. D3, POE, DOTA2/LOL are good for this, I am leaning towards trying FF14 again, not sure if there are other titles that can fill the void?

….probably one of the most honest responses I’ve seen on these forums in a long time. Respect!
Cancel culture rears its head in very unusual ways. My best guess is that there’s some level of satisfaction in ensuring that no one else can enjoy things that an individual no longer enjoys themselves.
It’s why, for example, you see people happy when a show gets cancelled. “I need my opinion validated through action, and I don’t care how many people are dissatisfied because of it”.

I think those who want wow to “fail” are like those family members of a drug addict hoping they will finally hit rock bottom, see the error of their ways, and start to change. It hurts seeing something you once loved be so terrible, so they hope that it becomes so utterly terrible that something breaks, and maybe the devs have a Come to Jesus moment and then the game is reborn, good again.
Or they just like watching the world burn.
