Completely agree with this. There wasn't much to do at the start of legion either, so it looks like releasing a half baked expac only to later fix it will be the norm. Probably resubbing 14 months into the expac cycle is the best way to play tbh
Shared Heart of Azeroth abilities seems like a miss... but it sounded like spec/class will impact cosmetics at least (feel like I read that somewhere) so I guess it's a start.
I wish they focused less on "balance" and more on flavor and fun... oh well.
Game will still have horible char progression. Gear is still meaningless. TF, WF, LFR, LFG, Sharding, Phasing are still thing. Only things what 8.2 brings is more content and few ne skills. I am giving it to Blizz for art which looks absolutly amazing just like cosmetic progression so far is really good. But it will be another hop in for 1 month and quit.

Think you are being overly generous with those numbers. Stopped doing WQ's when i hit exalted. Only ever did Warfronts once per cycle for the loot quest. Never set foot into an Island when i hit exalted. I don't mind WQ's but warfront/Islands are some of the worst content i have ever seen in WoW.
I don't think it looks like new expansion at all. Just a nice patch with some fixes and new zones. That's not now and never will be "like a new expansion".
