And where is the expansion we deserve, the worthy successor of Legion?
People express discontent via social media and that means forums. BFA has a disproportionately negative rating because overall it is a VERY big downgrade for a lot of people who played Legion.
How Blizzard sat back and expected players to just be happy with downgraded systems and abilities is just shockingly bad management. It has taken them over a year to basically admit how bad they fucked up despite almost a year of feedback on the Alpha and Beta.
I can name 6 things I liked from the 8.2 preview but Blizzard does not need that because it is useless feedback. If you are not bitching about it then it is safe to say the playerbase is fine with a decision you made.

Without having a major in psychology I'd say the main reason people talk negatively about the game is contrary to OP's opinion that they were so optimistic and well meaning about the game beforehand, and got disappointed by blizzard taking away everything from the game that made it feel alive and like a virtual world. Now (mostly) what is left is an empty beautiful looking shelf.
If there wasn't so much positive memory associated with wow among the playerbase there wouldn't be a playerbase to trash-talk the game (imo reasonably so)
Positivity was pruned to make space on the action bar for other things like more RNG and sadness.

I just think Blizz went overboard in trying to craft a particular experience for players, there needs to be more time allowed for sandbox types of activities. Right now the game feels like it has a to do list. I have to get my raid done, I have to get my M+ done for the week, I have to get my island farming in, I have to get my emissaries done, I have to get my weekly conquest points and then I have to do it all again on my Shaman and then my Monk and then my DK and then my Pally. Why the hell did I level so many characters again?!?!? In all seriousness I do that so I'm not left behind when the next season/raid tier starts and it gets exhausting after a while. I'm basically playing keeping up with the Jones's as a hobby for fun...
I just think that It's OK for the community to be responsible for creating some of the fun and it doesn't need to fall squarely on Blizz's shoulders and somewhat ironically in attempt to cater to all possible player types we're left with a game that feels like a honey-do list and a bit hollow and soulless.
When I watched the youtube video about the lengths Method went though to get ready for their world first race it really hit home how different some people's approach to this game is. I think they ran like 100 M+s in 3 days, it will take me 3 months to get that many runs in. Don't get me wrong, I love that WoW has a place for almost everyone but when the bar keeps getting moved up you never feel satisfied for reaching your goal and eventually you just burn out. I think THAT is the root cause for much of the negativity. Players reach their goal just in time for the next PTR where they see the bar being raised yet again.
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn

Not focused on wow specifically, but rather the gaming industry in general especially PC gaming. What used to be a niche market that's since expanded, gaming companies (Blizzard also with Diablo Immortal for example) are trying to cash in, instead of focusing on what made them successful in the first place: a dedicated and growing playerbase. You see it with all major gaming companies now.
I find it interesting that theyre so quick to blame the changing market, instead of looking at their own decisions for declining sales.
Well, since good gear started coming from other sources that aren't raiding, I've been playing much more, focusing on all the content I like (Island Expeditions, Heroic Raiding with my guild, Warfronts, Questing, World PvP, Brawler's Guild, etc).
It has been pleasant.
Oh, and now I can be a Mag'har Orc. My will is Legend.
Those people actually play the game and have fun. Here you just find a circlejerk that is bashin wow and blabber after the latest asmongold video.

But you are still posting here. So you have you really quit or have you not really quit?
Are the FF14 forums as lively as this one because I see others posting how great FF14 is and how fun they are having they post here regularly I would have they and you would be posting on the FF14 forums.
The only thing this expansion did well is art and music.
A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.
Art and music are solid this xpac.
Also good is all the people who canceled subs; less negativity in-game than there used to be.
J/K... kinda, but not really.
But raid design has been good, dungeons are decent, the outdoor zones are solid aesthetically (Nazmir a bit less so, but what do you want for sand dune-y desert).
They built the world really well, it's just the story they chose to tell seems a bit... off the mark and, well, nonsensical in many areas.
Here's to hoping Mechagon and Nazjatar are solid; odds are they will also look pretty awesome and we will probably get good cutscenes when they open up.
Vast amount of the player base are not on the forums, here be trolls and darkness.
The art and music has always been amazing in WoW. I'm excited for the lore if they focus more on Old Gods and the Black Empire.
The game design on the other hand, not so good, and where the majority of my complaints are.
