You are wrong but ironucally they tell you repeatedly to stop playing warcraft.
These arent evil cooporates trying to get your money but being to dumb to do it. They are literally you and me. Normal nerds who like fun and expect and want you to stop playing wow and go play other games, hang out with your friends and family.
The only reason to grind is progression, in which its nice to have one way if slowly increasing your characters power between raids. The way it works now. Yea its good 8f i take 2 or 3 weeks off a character and you know....play who i feel like playing.
Like...rested xp has been in the game since alpha. In fact your character used to get EXHAUSTED because the devs want you to STOP PLAYING and youd get 75% xp.
Grinding exhaustion is a problem created by players and no one else. If you are unhappy its your own fault. Its literally the same as the valor upgrades in mists and draenor just with 1 slot i stead of all of em.
Romance doesnt detract from a story. Its a Genre, like horror or comedy or adventure. The game was ruined when we got Horror in drustvar or nazmir. It wasnt ruined when we had funny quests. So if you think a little man on man love ruins the game, then yes you are either a homophobe or just a spoil sport that goes "ewww kissing is yucky" like a baby. Furthermore, if a character has never expressed interest in any gender, then its not proof they are straight. straight people are not the default

That's myopic. The way the game is designed has a major effect on how tedious the game is going to be in regular play. Sure, it's players committing or not committing to do tedious things in the end, but if your game is all about tedious things and short on skill / variety / creativity, saying "oh, but they themselves chose to do it" is just dumb. You designed the game to be tedious => the players who will choose to stay will experience that tediousness, and yes, they will be grumpy. You yourself did that as a game creator.

Tell that to those who left the game.
These profound thoughts always remind me of that proverbial writing on a tombstone: "He was right". Of someone crossing some road some place where he didn't have vision but was technically "right" to cross and died to someone else driving the "wrong" way, etc. Dear, when you say "the problem is you", noone cares. Go tell that in Dalaran, maybe someone there will listen.

Well, according to Arthas' ascension speech, Lordaeron already consists of ashes, so it's definitely fair
But nah, I assume there will simply be an NPC to phase into the pre-BfA version, for stuff like certain vendors, or the Cooking quests (unless those will be transplanted elsewhere)
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
I want to say that you would do well to check whether the game is generally gaining or losing people (losing) and what people are mostly complaining about (legendaries, TF and other RNG / timegates and silly grinds which aren't fun in the least and are there solely to keep you busy, including artifact / PVP).
The artifact is only good for graphs which show time spent per player. Because it requires a lot of time per player. In terms of actual gameplay and fun, the artifact is a complete failure. It is the epitome of "we are only doing this for a reward, if you take out the reward, there's no way in hell we're going to bother". No, content of that type is not normal, normal content is the one that people play because they enjoy it.

You can't check what I suggest you checked? OK.
Really, this attitude that since you don't know / can't reason about X, then noone (on the forums or whatever, outside of Blizzard) can is self-defeating. Stay uninformed.

Don't be like certain other posters here, read the interview.
An excerpt:
A: Currently, Stormguarde is the Warfront that we are working on. Finalizing for this particular expansion pack. We don’t have much else to say beyond that other than we are working very hard at making it an awesome experience. [...]
What you are saying makes sense, but perhaps we overestimated how much effort they are actually putting into warfronts. Wouldn't be the first time.
