Sure, thats a legit way to play wow.
Fact is, if Blizzard actually delivers again people will flock around it once again. Will they? Probably not, it looks like what once made Blizzard THE company is no longer there.
People tend to be very short sighted in this. Ever since classic and BC release people have been moaning and moaning about every xpac that wow has released. No matter, people will check out the new xpac, no matter how shite the previous one was. I mean, WoD literally had a patch with SELFIE camera. Imagine if BfA brought that out next week. People would(as back then) go mental on this forum yelling "wow is dead, there wont be a new xpac" blabla.
What seems lost on Blizzard is how to keep players playing. Right now its probably better not to play until later part of a xpac.
The X factor though in 2019, is Classic. Classic might actually buy Blizzard time. Time to try to get wow retail back where it should be. It will be interesting to see whats next after BfA. I am always hyped for new xpacs, no matter my dislike for current game.
Oh and btw - I barely play wow these days, I mean why? Waiting for 8.2
True, but do we really think there is another major content patch for BfA? What would that in any case be? Only scenario I can see is a endraid with Sylvanas as the villain. and I believe Blizzard said she would not go down like Garrosh(even though it looks like it so far).
Aszhara raid with N'Zoth planning/breaking free etc is a decent raid to launch into next xpac, with even more old god focus. MAYBE we get a N'Zoth raid, but I mean aint that bit of a stretch? Aszhara and N'Zoth in the same xpac..
I dont know, im just speculating. Im not saying I have the answers at all. Im probably 100% wrong, but I thought this was a speculation thread, but as per usual its very difficult to discuss anything at all. Its either 100% THIS or THAT.
Are people really arguing with the Anti-WoW obsessed guy with the XIV avatar who just sticks around despite being "Done with WoW?"
Really, i think people who want to argue that BfA will end early because WoD did is really just deluding themselves. Quality aside, WoD showed signs of being rushed from the beginning. No endgame, limited features and such. BfA has features in spades, people just odn't like them, just going by this the closest we will get to WoD is just 8.3 being kinda anemic as most of hte planned content is scrapped.

Actually, we know with pretty much 100% certainty that there will be at the very elast another major raid, considering the specific words used in some interviews were "You will know what the final boss of BfA is after Azshara" Which means there has to be another raid. Not to mention the points i discussed above.

Gaming and WoW stuff
Yay!
But yeah for me it's a case of I really love this game and company. I grew up with Blizzards titles on PC and PS1 (Diablo 1) but right now the magic of what made those titles is just gone imo.
I really want them to pull themselves together and bring back the magic for WoW. But every day/week it just seems less and less likely to happen,

All the Eleccy-Nyel illusional stuff aside. I could remember someone pointing out that with 8.1 the Gnomeregan Pet Battle Dungeon got released, then in 8.2 Mechagon and at the same time will release Strathholme as Pet Battle Dungeon. Would be silly to base hopes on this, but it's fun to think about.
Also does anyone else got the feeling that the Ankoans are a reference to the Story of the 47 Ronin.
I still think N'zoth is our final boss for BfA. I think BfA is going to be the push to deal with the last Old God we haven't fought yet. I mean Azshara is explicitly trying to free N'zoth in the Eternal Palace. I just don't feel like they're going to drag it out into another expansion, since we have been dealing with Old God stuff throughout BfA (even if it's been a side plot until now). Maybe I should say I don't want the Old God themes to drag into another expansion, because it would just feel like too much. I want 9.0 to be something different.
Same, I really want to go to some Lost Continent, and everything there is just new... Like MoP but more, the only things familiar are US going to where ever. Also no existential threat. BFA could've been that... it just a war among mortals after all, but how many times have we heard from one leader or another say, the opposite side will end our existence. Now with BFA being full blown old god N'Zoth, and the sword of course the world is ending AGAIN. Lest go somewhere new and be, "Ohh those fucks are evil, lets kill em."
Yeah I want them to create something new again, like with MoP. Ok, the whole panda thing was at first a bit weird, but it quickly grew on me and I really liked the whole expansion.
I dont want them to lean on something already established, but id probably be ok with Dragon Isle/Black Empire focus to :P
