Currently here is what it will take for me to resub to WoW: both New World and Blue Protocols turn out to be bad and not worth playing.
BFA to not exist.

The irony is that I really want to play WOW. But the story made character feel like a villian their own story. I just wasn't enjoying it.
At one point I would have said that Blizzard had to stop with the villian bat and otherwise ignoring them when it came to non-faction war content. But it has become clear to me the Blizzard has nothing else to offer Horde players.
So my current guess is that this fall (BfA is a total write-off) I may switch to Alliance and try it again. Probably. If that works good. If not, then I guess I'm an Elder Scrolls Online player.
Reposting from the other thread, since it got closed.
In order of importance:
- Good stories. When you have some half baked ideas haphazardly put together, with iconic characters such as Azshara or N'Zoth hastily thrown over in order to try (and fail) to conceal the lack of overall narrative direction, it's hard to care about your character.
- Simpler gear. Seriously, there was nothing wrong with the BC/WotLK type of gear. I don't understand why we need such convoluted, grindy systems like AP, RNGforging or the incoming "talent trees" from Covenants.
- Unpruned classes. And by that, I don't mean something (I don't like the word, but I'll use it by lack of something better) lazy, like e.g. "see Mage players, we gave you Frostbolt and Dampen Magic back, we just unpruned you guys! ".
- Professions. Other than Alchemy and (to a lesser extent) Enchanting, the rest of the production professions are pretty much useless. By the time you have gathered the mats needed to craft something minimally decent, you have probably got a couple of nice drops from the raid or M+ already, unless you are EXTREMELY unlucky. Even then, crafted stuff isn't really something to write home about.

@Kallisto
None of the specs i posted are useless.The hybrids were inferior specs that hindered those around you making them carry your lazy fucking asses where if they actually grew a spine they'd laugh at you and tell you to fuck off until you fix your spec.
Mind telling me which one is useless?Low level dungeon farm
Full avoidance for solo leveling
Seal of Fate
Daggers PvE
Swords PvE
cold blood hemo
imp sprint backstab
Daggers PvP
Swords & Maces PvP (almost the same so i put this one in same category)
Improved Poisons PvP
Probably the one im using (improved poisons) because i came up with it
The rest? All good specs.
Make the game fun again, not a job
Currently finishing the grind for Azeroth's Champion and trying to farm up a brutasaur (and have some spare gold afterwords ofc).
My current sub runs out in may, and I don't plan to renew it till the pre-patch, I did so every xpack so far.
I don't hate the game or anything, I just take a brake when I do everything I wanted to do in a xpack.
class design sucks
I think the scaling is garbage
but those aside I might still give the game a-go again if they brought back ranged survial hunters. (may not stick with it, but after the crap months I tried in BFA it would have to have improved a lot of things to make me want to stay.)
