I never understood why rush all that content in year 1? Why not save some of it for year 2, when you don't have the manpower to develop bulky patches because majority of the crew is developing next expansion?
I guess we'll see in Legion, but I fully expect something akin to a usual drought / end of expansion slump in the next year. New expac is gonna be announced at Blizzcon most probably, but it will take time to be alpha & beta tested and then released.
The total amount of content would be the same, but spread in a better manner.
