Assuming the game continues through 10.0, gameplay continues improving, and is enjoyable regardless of the outcome; would you rather:
1. Get a 9.3 even if it means Shadowlands lasts well over 2 years and breaks the xpac every 2 years cycle.
2. Have 9.3 get cut like 6.3 was in WoD to keep the xpac cycle consistent.
Personally I'd prefer Shadowlands to last longer; I'd rather they take their time to execute their vision rather than rushing/cutting things to meet the schedule. Despite all of it's issues, I love the aesthetic of Shadowlands and don't feel a dire need for a completely new theme. I assume I am in the minority, but I'm curious as to the breakdown.
