Pretty lukewarm to the whole thing. Glad to see some classes getting some abilities back, but the whole shadowlands thing feels a bit out of place. We shall see what happens I suppose.
I'm sure I'll play for the first month or 3, exploring new stuff is always a good time.
It is much worse than that. People don't care, because it looks completely bland. Blizzard really need to worry about what they do next. I never seen forums this "meh" that soon after expac announcement. Love/Hate is good for sales/subs. Indifference is really bad.
The game only gets more alt friendly every expansion. I thought legion and bfa were very alt friendly. I leveled at least one of every class in legion with no problem, and enjoyed the different class stories for each. Not sure what your definition of alt friendly is though (some people seem to just want everything their main has automatically transferred to an alt).
Ah, ok, that makes sense. I was actually comparing the expansions based on content/theme, etc. Yes, they do share similarities plot-wise, but the faction war on Pandaria was way watered down to what we are having in BfA imo. Also, Garrosh was Hitler while Sylvanas is working for a hidden master, similar, but there are nuances.
Do you know why WoW is going to the Shadowlands? Cuz the devs killed it.
Haaaaaaaaa
The minority who are unsatisfied will always be the ones to voice their opinion; and hatred speaks the loudest.
It's safe to say that the majority of folks are optimistic about the expansion. I for one am super happy that they are taking this next expac as a way to double down on the game's core features and fix issues, such as classes.
Can. Not. WAIT! For Shadowlands!
MMO champion saltyness can be brought in the following flavors
I Hate X so EVERYONE HATES X....Wait you like X HOW DARE YOU DISTASTEFUL SWINE
I LOVE X so EVERYONE LOVES X..Wait you hate X HOW DARE YOU DISTASTEFUL SWINE
*insert actually trolling guy who abuses the above just to see them tear eachother apart*
Everyone on my server hates this thing (Everyone on the server=The people on his friends list/guild...thus must be everyone)
Blizzard did a bad thing 5 years ago and I am still angry about it and I will bitch about it until Blizzard gets the memo and goes completely bankrupt! I WILL NOT BE SATED UNTIL IONS HEAD IS ON A STICK! (Still buys the $80 heroic edition)
Guy's calm down its not as bad as people thing STOP BEING MAD EVERYONE!! NOW I'M MAD AT EVERYONE BEING MAD!
How dare Blizzard ban me for <insert bullshit reason but really he actually did something bad>.
etc..etc...etc
I'm excited as far as how it looks, and am eager to see more of what they'll do for class changes. Unfortunately I just can't stand certain systems that they've implemented and just stuck to over time. I can't stomach logging in anymore to see AP, world quests, or table missions. The art team knocked it out of the park though as far as what I've seen, and the cinematic was a lot of fun to watch.
Very salty, it’s on track to be the worst expansion created.
4 new zones and one shadowmoon valley rip off zone( ardenweald).
No new race or allied race
No new class.
How can they make so much money and shrink in the content and polish they provide? Did they spend it all on the 10 minute sylvanas cinematic?
this. at mmo champion the sky is in a perpetual state of falling.

its mostly the same ppl whining endlessly. e.g in the lore forums everytime i open a thread there is a circle jerk between three or two people going on and on and on about their 2000iq and blizzard not knowing what they are doing.
Blood Elves were based on a STRONG request from a poll of Asian players where many remarked on the Horde side that they and their girlfriends wanted a non-creepy femme race to play (Source)
Just think about it. BFA's story was leading to many great things:
1) Removal of factions. Remember? Official Horde and official Alliance have peace treaty now. What stops them from doing content together?
2) New Tinker class. We have Mechagon and Mechagnomes now. Perfect time to implement Tinker.
3) Non-linear quests with moral choices. Are you good? Or bad? Make your choice!
4) Etc.
But Blizzard have shown their real face with SL announce. That's, what all adequate people have been telling you since prepatch and even Beta. BFA's story is just filler trash. It doesn't mean anything. It's thrown into trash now. As next xpack won't have any improvements. Just another generic xpack with another generic rep grinds, dungeons and raids.
I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.
