That’s the truth. I have a weird thing with spinach and tomatoes. I can eat spinach. I can eat tomatoes. If I eat spinach and tomatoes I will get sick 100% of the time.
No Italian for you. 
I’m on the opposite boat, just came back after not playing since 9.1 and I already feel like leaving, been only playing Classic recently to make use of my remaining play time.
So no, I don’t trust Blizzard enough to justify a pre-order this time around, nor do I have any interest in the cosmetics offered.
I wouldn’t preorder any other game regardless of incentives. This one is different because I’m fully sucked into the game and realize there’s no chance (0%) that I wouldn’t buy it immediately on release. I’m not going to be waiting around to see what people think about it. Anyway, I got lucky this time… my friend gifted it to me. If he hadn’t, I would have prepurchased.

I go into every expansion expecting there to be things I like and things I don’t like, and that about halfway through I will take a break for a few months. This allows me to enjoy the game without getting so ridiculously bent out of shape like a lot of ppl here in the forums. I’ll likely preorder, or rather it will be gifted to me as I have a birthday and wedding anniversary coming next month. I will keep my expectations in check. No reason to stress about it.

I will share a wonderful tale about the first time I preordered something!
Dark Souls 2 was announced, and as a fan of the first game I was excited! Oh boy, going on a big grand adventure where a big monster will punch me in the face! AND I can preorder to get the OST with it?! Yay!
I preordered it and got the bonuses. Not only did it throw a bunch of strong-ish weapons your way right at the start of the game, (Literally 8 items for doing nothing, which is unusually generous for a Souls game) the OST only had like…11 songs! And they weren’t even full songs: The Old Dragonslayer theme lasted only a minute when the full song is minutes long!
And then, of course, it’s Dark Souls 2 on top of it.
There was some remorse felt.
I probably skip this expansion, wasnt too crazy about Shadowland and though that would be as far it would go. I would wait next year to see how things develop.
I dug through a couple couche cushions and came up with enough to get the mid level pre-order. I’m in.

I just wish the subscription time was able to be manually activated…
I’m in the same boat as OP though, i was going to buy it with saved up bnet balance anyway… but I didn’t necessarily want to play right now because SL is dog water.

I have not, I have always preordered right away for the boost and other incentives but BFA and Shadowlands have left a bad taste in my mouth, well, that and I don’t need another boosted character that I never end up playing and I have plenty of drake mounts already

Nope. I learned from the last two expacs. I’ll wait until more info than a couple talent trees and a trailer is out.

I was gonna pre-order the second it was out, however a friend beat me to it and gifted it to me because I have been subbed since 2004. I have never had an expansion I would say I hated, I don’t even hate Shadowlands. I have a few small complaints but I never hated it, and felt peoples reactions to it were overly dramatic and a bit bandwagony.
Disliking things are fine, if you don’t like it, fine go do other things. Just don’t need to put on a song and dance for everyone on your way out the door. Yet that seemed to be what everyone and their brother did before “unsubbing”.

It’s like if someone tells me they make pizza and it’s 20 bucks but reallllyyyy good. Am I going to hand him the money and just hope his right or am I going to check out his shop and read the reviews first before making a decision?
Waiting is always better.
I’m preordering today.
On the same page here, there is no question I’ll be playing the next expansion. As such there is no reason for me not to preorder and get some extra bits for what I will be doing regardless, and be ready to go at launch without messing with last minute purchase things
And pretty much this, have always enjoyed my time in WoW, and don’t see that changing
I’m sure my husband and I will both be playing it, but I don’t see any reason to give Blizzard $$$ right this minute for it, and not be able to play it until December. Also, I’d like the time to figure out how to convince my husband not to buy the most expensive edition, considering he’s used NOTHING from the SL edition he insisted he had to have. 
Probably not a battle I’m going to win, but still.

Nah-- I need to see what the Beta reads first. Though, I have to admit, the extra’s that come with pre-order are most likely the best Blizzard has ever produced.
You’re getting way more for the extra ten bucks.
