FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)
I think the infamous Shadowlands leak just got thoroughly debunked by the latest PTR build. Same for a Black Empire expansion. If we're dealing with Sylvanas in 8.2.5, that points pretty strongly to N'zoth being 8.3.
I still want next expansion to be about the Dragon Isles, with maybe Shadowlands stuff as a side plot.
world revamp and lv squish will not fix things, what the game need is a time skip of at minimal 10 years or more
Level squish, world revamp & time skip is what the games needs. It would allow them to reboot the game some what.
Wouldn’t a time-skip almost demand a world revamp, and level squish has no bearing on a time-skip?
Time-skip would bring about thousands of questions, I can see one happening, but 5 years seems to be the most plausible and that only brings it down to hundred of questions.
thats what im saying, world revamp alone will do nothing, we need timeskip for things to make sense, and that would mean the world revamp.
Lv squish is unnecessary, its just numbers
thousand of questions is what we need, mysteries, plots, new threats, new characters, new enemiesTime-skip would bring about thousands of questions, I can see one happening, but 5 years seems to be the most plausible and that only brings it down to hundred of questions.
Which is why I wish they'd just go for WoW2. Levels would be restarted, a world revamp included. Have it happen 10-15 years later, make better graphics engine with better character customization (maybe even with actual windows), go with some more realistic faction system (A+H should've already falled apart twice or thrice) and rid of the anachronisms from Cata.

Considering how long it takes to reach the last expansion and the endgame is the reason why XP on sub-last levels is constantly reduced, so the leveling time doesn't pile up too much for fresh characters with each expansion - and the reason why leveling became meaningless.
I think the best revamp solution is just.... peacecraft.
I know, "Warcraft means WAR!" but come on people it's that mindset that's put us on this path of endless revolving doors of faction war and cosmic gods that decided they wanted to piss on Azeroth today. What we need at this point is just to take a few steps back and make a starting experience that is just that, a starting point. Not dumping you in the middle of a crisis, handing you a legendary sword, and going "you're our only hope now, Luke."

Ion has stated that Blizzard would like to reduce the amount of time needed to reach current content, and that a level squish would be the way to achieve that. So no, not just numbers. Congratulations on your new & expanded sight.
