Besides FF14, there is no real competitor.
It is in milking mode, and has no intention to gain new players.

So, you are basically saying, if i don't play this game i get nothing? mhm... xD
I guess you could just play and get everything you want right now.
The notion that Pathfinder in Warlords represents the first time that WoW has ever had time-gating is so ha-ha funny I don't even know where to start.
Blizzard doesn't insist on anything. The weak-minded player that views World of Warcraft--or any video game for that matter--as some life test that they are forced to do anything in to the point of burnout is beyond any assistance that I can give.
Suffice it to say that there are many that play the game, understand what it is, and are fairly content with it as long as there is something to do when they log on. Events come around that have rewards: participate in them, get the reward. Don't participate, miss out.

I quite agree. They should look at their audience and stop wasting time on those who insist that the game be made more difficult just for them. There are clearly fewer of them by quite a large margin than anyone else. They should also stop fiddling so much with theorycrafting and start investing the game with some good stories and a little bit of soul. When most of the design conversation about the game is about spreadsheets and math there's a problem.

Support is irrelevant. What matters is what works for the company that is in charge of deciding what the game is. Your prefered game design doesn't work for them. You (or I) are not entitled to get what we want. We might get lucky and have what we want be close to what it makes sense, to Blizzard, for them to provide.

I feel like they should communicate more with the playerbase tbh. Be more open. Not saying tell us every little bit of how WoW is made but still communicate with us. It's better for all of us.I quite agree. They should look at their audience and stop wasting time on those who insist that the game be made more difficult just for them.

When did fan site post model become hot tears and salty posts?
You mean the thing we have gotten since fucking TBC?
The main question is why their business model became box sales and micro transactions instead of subscriptions.
This is right on the money. I think the last two, maybe three Dev Q&A's have been very focused on game systems, formulas and other minutia that puts a normal player - heck even a casual raider like myself - right to sleep..
We seem to be back to very black and white teen-angsty comicbook stroy-level with Legion. Yes they're so bad, they want to destroy everything and we're good and we have to stop them - but omg it's so very, very trite and boring.
Why can't there be decent, nuanced stories for adults in this game for once?
Give. Us. Less. Loot.
I remember back in TBC, if you got all your BiS items from one tier you could count yourself lucky. Today it doesn't really matter what gear you get, you'll clear the raid in a few resets and whatever gear you gathered at that point will do fine in the next tier.
Time gating has always existed... just in Legion they took it a huge step further, dragging it as much as possible to keep you playing as long as possible with minuscule gains...
I dunno about you but even in WoD raiding I didn't get all the gear I wanted and heck even the stats weren't what I ws looking for.

Only thing that might be considered angsty is demon hunters. It's not as bad as you put it.
