It looks allright. Im taking break from school 14th december and im traveling back home. Wont play wow until sometime in january. Will have lots of stuff to do then.
The holidays are right around the corner, perfect time to take 1 month break.
Boring content is the main issue, also no mention of Zandalari and Kuk'Tiran was a big slap in the face, many people are waiting for them in particular. Looks like March at the earliest to get them now.
DX12 only. They said they'll try to get some improvements for DX11 but it's a lot more work with a smaller total increase in performance. It will be interesting to see how much performance will improve, especially on Nvidia cards that run faster in DX11 than DX12 at the moment.
As for the content of patch 8.1. It isn't that much because a lot of it will be unlocked in season 2. We'll get a small quest about Saurfang (horde only), new war campaign (total of about 2-3 hours, probably unlocked weekly), introduction quest for a new warfront, a new warfront, invasions (world quests) and 2 new islands. Everything else is unlocked in season 2 (raid, azerite armor improvements, mythic+ currency, higher ilvl rewards for all activities).
Technical improvements are fine, especially if you have a DX12 compatible GPU and Win10 but in the first week there's probably only 1-2 hours of new content and every week after that maybe 20-30 minutes of new content.
Backend engine upgrades are not content.
Content isn't the only thing I find fun, classes being fun to play also play a factor and 8.1 isn't going to fix that, random % buffs to spells isn't going to make classes feel less clunky.
Yet you didn't mention what resolution or graphics setting you are playing on.
God forbid people want to be able to run a 14 year old game at 1440p and Ultra settings in 2018 on a $3000 gaming rig.
Yeah let's all celebrate multi-thread support. They've finally added it 14 years later after making billions of dollars. Thanks Blizzard!
God, just fuck off.
This isn't content you fucking retard.

Imagine the people who subbed back only to find a half hour of world quest to do. "The patch fixed everything guys! come back!" AHAHAHAHAHA
