I agree with your premise 100%. Not sure I agree with some of the ideas you put forth, but if they're open for discussion they can be improved. The bottom line is, Blizzard does NOT want to put resources into WOW. Ever since Cata they've been 100% about delivering the most content with the least amount of effort and resources. It can be argued MOP and Legion didn't fit snugly into the aforementioned mold, but the flip side can be argued as well. At this point I strongly believe Blizzard greatly over-estimates their brand and that we'll buy whatever trash they produce, Shadowlands is NOT impressive, it's just kind of meh at best. And, they're not concerned because they know if they punch out BC servers and Wrath servers, they'll string along purest fans for another 3-4 years. Then maybe they'll finally do what needs to be done - reboot the game with a game engine that isn't older than my 16 year old niece.
