I don't know if I'd call it filler exactly, but does feel kinda weak...probably because they have to divert resources to get classic servers up.
Most definitely not a filler, it's a world at war, the Eastern Kingdoms vs Kalimdor, hopefully not just contained on those two little islands.
eh. Sort of feels like the approach they took with the start of MoP, you weren't clued in as to what the main threat there was either till later in the expansion.
Content seems thinner than Legion from the outset, but we'll see what happens.
youve banded together sure, but both side betrayed the other, plus the story line w/ genn and sylvanis in stormhein and the war-chief dieing as well as the horde letting wrynn die
the expansion makes sense, you just have to pay attention to the state of affairs in WoW to understand that.
We just defeated the legion, the fucking legion. I think it is fine that we are dialing it back for a patch or two and focus on the smaller things instead of another god like threat coming to destroy us.
Ya, the expansion looks boring. Plus, they doubled down on all the crap no one liked from legion. AP (Azerite), Titanforging is returning. Artifact gear of sorts. I will not be purchasing and will be playing the classic servers when they release.
Did you even play the game? The Horde did not let Wyrnn die. If you have not, you should go watch the horde cinematics.
Filler or not, i kind of a like that theme, i feel comfy on azeroth and i have nothing against it if we have a faction war expansion, i like the squish, wish they would bring WQ into older zones aswell.
For fuck's sake it has only just been announced 22 hours ago. We know so little about it yet and no one has really experienced it.
There are 0 features I am looking forward to. There's nothing like artifact weapons or a new class, Order Halls or something like that. Maybe, maybe Island Expeditions but I'm not sure about the RNG here. All of the rest is pretty meh.
You are speaking about "massive things" when there's actually nothing massive coming with the expansion.

Most (or actually every) expansion let me know exactly what the expac was about by the time the opening announcement was done. This one feels like the story is, "there's no big baddie, so we are back to hating each other. Level up, then you can do world quests and some scenarios". That's all I got from the intro.
You don't need an entire expansion to set up another expansion. TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm and MoP worked quite well on their own without having an entire expansion building up to them.
And BfA right now just feels like "filler" to me (maybe because Blizzcon gave us nearly no in depth information about it), as I mentioned earlier maybe it's becoming a MoP but I am not sure about that.

MOP & WOD were fillers too.
Without fillers, the main story would've ended a long time ago already.
As I said, if it's becoming MoP 2.0 I am VERY pleased about it because MoP was great. My only issue then are the very sparse features coming in BfA.
MoP was no filler expansion, it extended the "actual" World of Warcraft and wasn't a made up story in an alternate universe.
