Perhaps "objective" wasn't the right word. Honest would have been a better choice. As for the people who defending the game, you'll notice how many of them resort to personal attacks instead of discussing the state of the game? That should tell you everything a person needs to know.
And like I said before: If a person wants to get into WoW again, go in with eyes open. How many people only want the initial experience, especially when one of the mottos of WoW for its entire life has been "The game doesn't start until level cap"?
My point stands: A person looking to get back into WoW will be better served by waiting for 8.2. BfA in its current state is not worth the time, money, or effort.
