Hear me out, I know, I know Warfronts are a very hit/miss content and I have my reasons for liking/hating them as much as everyone but I have a reason I feel warfronts should actually carry on and potentially they should even add one in 8.3.5
Content Relevency, FF14's strength' WoW's Weakness:
Warfronts imho should carry on because even as an irrelevent content they should be something players can continue to do, even into the next expansion, imho given blizzards over-reliance on RNG even though they are trying to cut back on it, I feel they can still make Warfronts enjoyable and even potentially add new ones along with other features they could bring back, like the Garrison, in a softer but still enjoyable way:
Examples:
- Warfronts could drop LFR tier gear (Nothing higher) for future expansions of the first raid only, this would make them useful as a way to help new players catch up as they'd be a way to bring back content thats old but still give people extra options for gearing.
- Island Expeditions+Scenerios from MoP could offer Heroic Dungeon Tier rewards equiviliency to help players gear up faster for Mythic and mythic+
- Garrisons could offer LFR tier rewards for mission table completions.
- OLD LFR could return as relevent LFR content as a way for players to gear faster (Once again, the gear would only be on parity with tier 1 raiding gear (so shadowlands version of uldir, as an example).
- Mythic+ for MoP/WoD/Legion/BFA remains relevent as a way to spice old content up and let mythic+ players have options.
- Old daily quests in previous expansions could offer token rewards equal to dungeon heroics.
All this is food for thought but imho while I know its alot of undertaking I feel blizzard could make alot of old content amazing again if they actually had the balls to do this, its what FF14 does and other MMO's like ESO which still remain relevent and GW2.
Relevent content can be enjoyable if its still relevent -today- which is why im sayin' it'd work in certain circumstances.
Im not saying Warfronts should offer mythic raiding gear, or that you should be able to get mythic gear from garrisons, just that they could be accessable catchup content.
