I just watched the Shadowlands Survival Guide and I am happy to say this expansion looks phenomenal to me. Personally, as a returning player with limited time, I am not ready to commit or play hardcore anymore. I used to love min-maxing, raiding daily, doing rated PvP; now things are different, but I still harbor love for this game and my characters and want to explore and experience the world and content created. Shadowlands looks like a blast to me, overflowing with cool new places and characters to see and discover. After initial reservations about the expansion, the sheer content and progression options provided through the new systems (covenants, torghast) is phenomenal to me! I understand there are flaws with the systems, and the state of the game, and I do not mean to invalidate those concerns at all. That being said, looking at the vast content and progressions options provided with Shadowlands in addition to the already established system such as raids, M+, arenas -- for the first time in a long time I feel like there is actually something cool for every player in this game. I am excited about the idea to actually play the game, and do whatever I want to enjoy the game.
