Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Mid June launch
Sylvanas fight Uber bugged
Morgan was wrong about the amount of sockets
You can get up to 8 not 4-5
700 MB Patch.
I've personally not been enjoying the expansion for exactly the reasons you mention above; I'm not keen on playing a doom and gloom expansion when I'm dealing with doom and gloom personally from a pandemic.
Personally I hope the next expansion is a Mists of Pandaria stye curveball. After Legion, BFA, and Shadowlands, we could use a thematic break.
That reason.....is just weird. At least you can fight the "Doom and gloom"

Not really weird when you have this kind of expansion on top of BFA and Legion, which were also a bit on the dark side. The perceived content droughts aren't helping either. It's making this expansion and its dark thematics feel like a drag.
I don't think it's by accident that MoP is remembered so fondly by the community, and I wouldn't be surprised if after this expansion, MoP takes the top spot, due to the Lich King's lore being messed with in Shadowlands. That said, Blizz should definitely consider an expansion like MoP just to break up the dark thematics of the last 4 expansions.
The lore of the Lich King isn't messed up, just explained more instead of left in the dark and MoP is valued not necessarily cause of its chill tone, thats your projection here. Of all things people "miss" about MoP most of it is gameplay related and not in relation to any lore being "dark." Its very much not the thing that is talked about.

Mid June launch would be horrible and contradict everything Ion said in his Preach interview. TBC launches June 1. You cannot "finish" TBC in two weeks. And Ion doesn't want both TBC launch and 9.1 to overlap directly. But granted, the 2 week grace period of TBC pre-patch is also very short, so I don't know if Ion is deliberately trolling or has no clue about his damn game.
P.S.: Happy Pre-Patch, TBC-fellows!

I would say it’s both the tone and the gameplay that’s fondly remembered. I would say that if you polled the community, the majority would want the next expansion to be more grounded, and based on a lore location on Azeroth itself.
That said, an expansion revolving around Yrel and the Lightbound invading Azeroth, or Dragon Isles could work just fine.

the games wouldnt be launching at the same time if it launched say on the 15th most players who already place a bunch of time in classic would be hitting cap and starting the heroic grind where as 9.1 would have the first couple chapters and the new dungeon because the time gating will still hamstring players.
guess a two week wait for the raid to launch like usual which allows the grinding that the hardcore players will do and in TBC you will have the raids getting cleared by those who capped

outside of the depressed panda and the outright genocidal leader MoP was a bright expansion
I mean he's the lead figure when it comes to the direction of WoW, at least until Karen from Finance or Bobby have their word. So what he says should have some leverage. I think it's out of question that he turned WoW into the worst state its ever been with BfA and Shadowlands (aka Systemlands) and that he drastically has to change the course and direction of retail, but that isn't the point here. I guess his word means something, for the better or worse.

The average player won't have reached the level cap within the first week, let alone the reputation for heroics by then. TBC's initial phase has a waaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer lifespan than 9.1 for example. And Ion specifically said the playerbase is overlapping and they want to avoid another Shadowlands release vs. Naxxramas situation. If Ion's words mean anything, they give the players at least 4 weeks between both releases. At least. 6 would be better, by then most players in TBC will have reached cap, done heroics and maybe even cleared Karazhan so the first "down" kicks in. Players can go back to retail, experience 9.1 for a few weeks and then return for phase 2.
Forcing people to make a choice between a completely fresh TBC and leaving it during its high / honeymoon phase (2-3 weeks after launch) to play 9.1 makes not much sense.
