We have been playing Wow now for years. In some cases 20 years. Wow has changed somewhat over this time. Would you encourage friends, family, coworkers, schoolmates, neighbors etc. To start playing Wow for the first time?

No. WoWs learning curve is huge now.

Attempts have been made, the game isn’t fun for the vast majority of them. I’ve had a few people just drop off as soon as they hit current content as they can’t find time to raid or do keys with their spouse/kids’ schedules and pugging instantly ruins their experience.
Or, they just aren’t interested in MMOs. It’s a genre that appeals to a specific niche.

They should focus more on doing things to get customers back rather than getting new customers
Customers who quit liked something from the past so they could just do more they already did which is easier than doing something brand new

Of course! Why would I not want people to also find joy in the thing I love?

No, the new player experience is so awful and makes such little sense I can’t imagine being a new player and trying to navigate it.

Depends if I think they’d like it. It’s a massive game with a big demand for your time. I’d only recommend it to someone who’s already a gamer and would be open to an MMO.
As a beginner game, definitely not.

For sure. WoW’s a great one-season playthrough for any group of folks. Maybe even two seasons given the learning curve.
Beyond that, naw. No reason to stick around outside of FOMO.
if i had to choose, then yes for classic, no for retail but it really depends on what kinda game they like. in general i wouldnt recommend this game to no one lool.
Hell no.
lmao.

Retail? Nope.
But I’m sure they’d fall in love with whatever version of Classic strokes the flames for the “good ol days.” Followed by hours of being pestered on why I play Retail.

Having seen my kids and my 20 ish yo friends play with access to a million Steam games, Epic mini games, Roblox, and Minecraft…safe to say that they simply don’t want to invest so much effort into something like WoW.
There’s a fan base for MMOs, but I’m pretty sure it’s for the 30+ and I’d say it will be mostly gone in 30 years unless the genre can evolve

If they did what many MMOs are starting to do and kept our characters capped at 60 and just added new content I think it would appeal to more. This constant stat/level squish that just makes the leveling even more messed up, just to level to max again each expansion is getting old.
Pick a level cap, stick with it forever, balance the rest of the game.

I don’t have friends so there’s no temptation.

If a friend enjoys this type of game I’ll suggest it but I don’t like trying to get people to play things.
No.
The magic is gone.

No. I believe Microsoft/Blizzard needs to figure this out. For example, new players could level exclusively through Delves up to current expansion, etc.
