There won't bean 8.3.
8.2.5 is the last patch.

I think it will be incredibly weird if they decide to skip 8.3 and go straight to 9.0, not necessarily bad, but the drought you be real as fuck. I mean, I don't see them pushing 9.0 before summer.

I'm remembering back, but there were two things I didn't like about it(if I remember correctly, I may be wrong).
1. You have to do, I think maybe 5 bgs. I think you had to win them. I didn't PVP at all before that, so it was an inconvenience.
2. You had to get maybe 5 or 6000 whatever points(not sure exactly how much) for doing in game activities but you could only get 1000 a week, so it was a pain to get on an alt
That is all. Otherwise, yes I loved it too. I also loved legiondaries, but I agree they should have been much more balanced from day 1. If they were perfectly balanced for pvp/pve, then I believe they would have been the best long term reward ever in the game, since grinding them, especially after bad luck protection was added, was a long and difficult, yet fun and rewarding grind that spanned all activities in the game and lasted nearly until the very last raid(or after).
Any long term reward at all is one thing I've missed in BFA. I don't know how they launched without a long term reward that lasted thru tiers(and AP ain't it). I mean, isn't this the first xpak since MOP that didn't have one? Even wod had that ring. Just felt like cut content.

I Was thinking that there would be an 8.3 and 9.0 announcement at Blizzcon, come to think of it--but you make some really good points. I was just thinking about what may be needed to bridge the gap into the next expac, but the testing cycle is important and for that to be true, it would have to be pretty bunched together.
We don't necessarily need legendaries, but we do need some form of long term reward imo. AP is not good, we need something else to keep us playing everyday, from day 1. Some goal. We need a goal. Even an intermediate term goal for our character progression would be a big step up from bfa. Working towards set bonuses in raids was a good intermediate term goal imo. What are we working towards in BFA? If feels like you never reach the thing you are chasing, and you aren't even sure what you are chasing or why.
The Legion-daries were both great and terrible. Great because they were often game-changing items that improved a given class or spec, and terrible because they were left to stupid amounts of RNG.
Some of my characters didn't get their BIS legendaries until like... a month before the patch that let us simply buy them with 1k essences. Some didn't get them UNTIL I bought them with 1k essences. Active toons that I did things with every week.
That sucked.
Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
Sure ti will have a surprise
a good one? i doubt
