Most of the comments here about gameplay holds water. We've ignored all these things because the gameplay and story from the past was enough for us to close an eye and not see the problems that exists.
These things are surfacing because the game is stale, like literally grey all over. The ugly parts are coming out and until 10.0 is announced, there's nothing to distract us from the dirt hiding under the carpet all this while.
The people who used to run the show have problems. Presently the game itself has problems. I'm not going to conflate both issues together. They are separate issues and they will need to both clean house and make the game better.
The game we loved was a game made by a different team with a different mindset. This is an important nuance.
Some of us do not care about their identity politics crap. I personally do not support them. I want them fired. I can not tolerate incompetence. If I as a software developer consistently fucked the speed/efficiency of our software, I'd be fired by now.If you support the devs of games, please be aware that we also have opinions on inclusion in our games.

Haha it will never be YOUR game because you are on the same side as them. People are sick and tired of your culture war being present in everything these days.
I don't recognise these shit devs. It's not their game.

There's not a problem with dick jokes. There's no dirt.
I mean I play this game for what... 16 years now?
Yeah, guess what - I could not give a fuck about some random painting I never even knew existed or some NPC names from 5 expansions ago. I play this game for 16 years for its raiding and social aspect of guilds - I know exactly what I want of this game and I do get it and it's fine.
I was not jacking off to "concubine" NPCs in TBC when I was late teen and most certainly I'm not going heartbroken of them not being named that there now.
Going OoOOOoOOooooOOo about shit that does not concern me in slightest? Yeah... That's like somewhere down at the 7541th line in my "shit to care about" list.
The anti-vaxxers on the right are pushing me back towards the center a little bit, although the delusion on the left is even worse. It didn't take me very long to go through the Twitter profiles of current and former employees to realize that Blizzard is an echo chamber of far-left extremism.
This is really killing my hope for the future of the game, I don't want a sanitized product, I like some sexy, some dick jokes, some immature humor. What a strange bunch these devs....
Do anyone even expect to see any of these devs saying otherwise?
Of course not and their 'my opinion is my own not Blizzard' does not change it in any way.
Funny enough almost all of these people form OP's post use anime/cartoon/furry as main picture (LOL) instead showing their faces on Twitter.
'She/them' statements or flags are 'totally normal' today so won't even mention it...
If there is a dev saying total oposite he/she would be fired immidietly as racist, homophobe or at least 'not progressvive enough for our standards'.
Man... i am so sad what happened with this company past few years.
I just wanted to finish TBCC content and quit forever ANY of their games... but somethig tells me it will happen much sooner.
I mean if that is the case then that simply shows where their priorities are and what we can expect in the future.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
What can you expect when you're payed a salary worse than what the homeless make. You're not gonna get talent that's for sure.
Look, I'm alright with these devs being twitter warriors but please, keep that shit there and out of the game. I don't want to fucking see it. It's why I fucking avoid social media.
Something here feels a little fishy, how can a company be half sex pests and half land whale twitter warriors? I'm trying to imagine the company culture where these 2 things coexist. I guess the sex pests got removed with legion, and the whale brigade ran the game from BFA onwards? I'm not defending the sex pests here, fuck them, but I just find it strange..
Imagine going to a party, and you have a group of sex pests and the rest are twitter whales, what even happens at that part? This feels a bit like that thought experiment where you put a buttered sandwich on a cat for infinite energy
This sure doesn’t look like WoW will have a bright future ahead. More and more people will just continue leaving and the woke crowd won’t be there to replace them, they just want to get everything cancelled and then move on to the next thing. Should have just ended WoW with Legion and make another game with this whole new dev team, I doubt that it would be a game I’d be interested into.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
