Classic should have kept a TBC and a Wrath server tbh. I imagine it’s tough for classic players to get messed up with by blizzard.

Oh I like that too… actually too many to list.
What is with this fascination with younger generations and new players and stuff? Like do you have any real data to show that there aren’t any younger players out there in World of Warcraft? Like seriously, I am a Gen Z myself and I’ll bet that there are Gen Z playing this game and liking every minute and hour of it.
This is just my totally fresh take… my perspective if you will… Am I right? Only the gods know…
I mean yeah, should have.
My son plays WoW because I do, but he roasts and makes fun of the new stuff all of the time. He likes to play the older content and loves the tougher older lore. He still thinks some stuff looks cool from modern WoW in SL and DF, but he really doesn’t like the story or many of the new characters.
IMO if WoW wants to players they need to get back to the basics of what WoW used to do well and push forward with that.

On the interwebs, anyone can pretend to be anything. Sadly the op choose mediocrity.

We added a new player to the raid team recently who’s 19. We get a steady stream of college-age players, over time.
Most of the team is older with kids, but we’ve always catered to that demographic (we raid very late, after everyone’s kids are in bed; it’s how the guild was set up from the start, 10 years ago).
Well, I differ I prefer the more dramatic approach of recent stories. We’ve already like what 3 or more expansions of dark and annoying actions and lack of character progression and or character moments for build ups.
Furries the game is made…for…furries and femboys can’t forget the femboys.

Don’t judge me… You don’t even know me. 
How?
“All millennials don’t play World of Warcraft. Source? My four children.”
“Muh urlee aksus”.
Ok, boomer. Whatever you say, boomer.
What about Generation Y? You mentioned X, Z, and millennials but not Y… Maybe you failed math, therefore you cannot find y. Also, no one is forcing you to play anything.
Classic is right there if you want to play older versions. Take off your rose-tinted glasses.
Where is your source for this? All we know is subscriptions dropped shortly after Classic launched, they dropped over the course of Shadowlands (one to two years after Classic first launched), did not increase with The Burning Crusade Classic nor Wrath of the Lich King Classic (yet almost hit a eight year low point, second only to Battle for Azeroth by less than half a million), and only increased with Dragonflight and Season of Discovery.

It was never taken away.
I’m fairly sure I said 4 children… MmmKay?
Also what the heck kind of Tmog is that? Magneto?
Gen y are millennials
Don’t take my words for it go look it up
Type up
Who are the gen Y?

After reading these comments I’m now convinced there is no difference in age… just taste. I’ve learned this now.
To each their own, but when seemingly every quest line ends in “we are family, we need to band together and share the power of love and friendship” I think WoW is going to lose more subs, and even worse, not replace them with new subs. WoW has always been a crude, funny, cartoony, and violent war game. Story matters, the peak of this game was Lich King, even though the gameplay its self was kind of meh.

Just going off of your OP, replies and retorts.
So, no need to lie to kick it.
I’m about as open as any book… so you think I’m boring? That hurts.
All of this take of wrath being the most popular when we don’t know what made it popular in the first place. Also, whatever WOW is doing is what helping World of Warcraft going back up in numbers since we do have a graph that blizzard release at GDC.
