Exactly. I’ll keep playing provided I am still enjoying it.
And the answer is there, a resident of Azeroth, remove Azeroth and I’d probably quit. If one day Blizz was like
“
oh no! some big bad guy blow’d up Azeroth and everyone had to relocate to this new world and you can’t go back to old zones in any capacity ever again”

Honestly, I believe I would quit the game if they kept the jailer around for another expansion. Most boring villain ever

If they keep neglecting story content in favour of systems. Building systems is a game devs enjoy. They don’t understand how annoying and frustrating they can be because they live in their own bubble.

I enjoy being able to have a raid group and not have to join finder groups, but also like completing quests, reps, etc.
During Legion, when I didn’t have a raid group (because some people had trouble with life and quit for a while) I was hanging on content, and they dropped that horrendous grind for Soul things for Illidan’s past quest line. I hated that so much I quit for several months.
Right now, if I didn’t have a raid group, I wouldn’t be playing, because the content, especially Korthia, is extremely repetitive and filled with grind. The borrowed powers are a huge problem in my opinion, even after they made it easier to switch conduits and implemented that item that lets you switch domination shards.
It’s simply not fun to be blocked behind grinds for vital options like the covenant abilities. Covenants are fun to stay in, but even with the better switching mechanics, they still feel like set-in-stone talents… I can’ see how making it hard to switch makes the game better. They might just remove the covenant abilities and make them just aesthetic… it would remove a layer of imbalance from the game. Even that light/shadow forge in Legion (forgot the name) was more enjoyable… and I hated that LOL
So basilcally, all it takes for me to leave is to not have friends playing. The game itself is not doing a great job at holding me (proof is: I’ve been farming xmogs and hunting legion mounts in the free time… RIP Shadowlands).

When Ion finally came clean about his plans to never give flying back ever again, i cancelled my sub immediately and didn’t subscribe again until Pathfinder, that one event was the last straw for a lot of my guildies too, they never came back though.
For anyone that’s about to say that flying isn’t that important, it was less about the flying and more about the lies, he deliberately misled us just so we’d give WoD a go, if he wanted to pull a move that big on an expansion, it should have been marketed as such so people could make a well informed purchase.

I’m addressing the title: At this point I don’t know. I thought it would be, a better game, but, I think there are better games I’m not playing. Idk. WoW does have a corner on the market style of play I enjoy. Log in - queue up. There are other games with this system but that and wow’s complexity, such as in pvp and honestly just my habit to play is keeping me around.
To answer the title succinctly, I really don’t know.
Remember that sword in Silithus that was going to destroy Azeroth if we didn’t do something about it? Well, we didn’t do anything. And…
Well,op,It is close to doing just that.
A,For one no more being able to do dungeons,might as well make them all raids the way they are going.
B,Game doesn’t have a true meaning,in other words doesn’t make sense.
C,Too many changes to soon,For cry out loud make you mind up what the expansion features are,confusion in scaling,gear,stories should be a increase not a decrease in value.
D,Being aliened to the population,in other word you are completely ignored by an community.Ever want to know how it feels to be an alien from another world there you go.
E,lastly ,complete game ripping,everything doesn’t work and things being removed ,mounts, pets and already done quests are gone.<the last straw.

The two major things that would get me to quit WoW :
Egregious Account Action - like if I got a forum ban or silence in game that made me unable to join groups ever again. That would make me angry enough to quit - because I would likely disagree with it.
Or
If I find better game for me. There just isn’t one. WoW has consistently checked the most boxes for me.
Price? Endgame? Grim tales? Silly tales? PvP and PvE that can be done casually or at a high level?
Elder Scrolls, LotR, Star Wars… they have fun stories and cool themes but lackluster gameplay. FF 14 makes me puke aesthetically and thematically.
I would be happy to move on to a better game, if someone makes it. Until then, I am content with WoW.

Mage Tower tuning

Despite all the negativity around the game, I am still having fun gearing up my characters and doing casual PvP. If they mess with that formula by bring back templates, I will quit or play a whole lot less.
Same, I quit after 9.1. I couldn’t believe how lazy the developers have become.

Based on my non-scientific research in General Discussion, at least three people are quitting over the mage tower not being nerfed enough.

I think I saw you saying the same thing in another thread. Another warlock gave some great tips for Affliction. Did you try those?
If they nerfed the mage tower
For me it would be myself.
If for some weird reason the game started triggering my seizures I would quit.
WoW not giving me seizures was the main reason I started playing in the first place.
It’s so sad too because this expansion actually has several good villains. Sire D, Devos, Muehzuela. Zovaal is actually the worst villain in this expansion… why is he the MAIN villain? Even if he was going to the final boss, you could have put one of the other villains more front and center.
A recent example of this is Halo Infinite. I think the Harbinger is kind of bland while Escharum, the secondary villain, is x10 more interesting but for lore reasons the Harbinger is the final boss. That said, the developers/writers had the sense to dedicate most of the screen-time to Escharum because he’s just way more interesting. It really worked. Sure, you can say that’s lame that the final boss isn’t as hype, but the penultimate level / penultimate boss fight were fantastic and that is far more memorable than if they had tried to force the Harbinger down our throat.
I wish we lived in the world where Sire D was the primary antagonist for most of the expansion, and Zovaal only “stepped out of the shadows” in 9.2 or something like that. Barefoot nipple-Thanos clearly didn’t work for anyone, and we may have been better off if we never saw him until he had all of the sigils.
