It's not. It will still be roughly the same amount of XP until Phase 2 when we get the beta amounts.

I know people like to shit on Shadowlands for not having Shaman content, but now that we're seeing Shaman stuff in Dragonflight... I think this was intentional?
The ancestral spirit stuff is not confirmed a retcon yet. There may absolutely be a place that some shamanistic spirits go that is NOT the Shadowlands. Or, the Shaman afterlife will get mentioned here now that Shamanism is relevant to the expansion. We already see that Wild Gods go to restore in the Dream and multiple gods snatch up souls on Azeroth.
We're getting heavy hints that Elements come from the Lifelands or some sector of it, so I think that the Ancestral Plane being retconed into a place for Shaman spirits to chill in the Lifelands would be cool and make some sense.
Also: Monks and Shamans use the same energy. It was 100% intentional to leave them out at the same time.

so tomorrow expect
1. broken talent loadout system saying you have too many when you have maybe 1
2. UI constantly resetting and giving LUA errors
3. broken addons
4. wonky scaling in all dungeons
5. people in trade bitching about where evokers and events are
I don't like addons being outdated but..... well the people raging about it..well it'll happen better get used to it. Also You forgot "People bitching about their class being Underpowered" because it will happen and I may possibly fit in that group xD

Complaining about add-ons being broken is always legitimate because it's blizzard fault. Not wanting to go out of their way to support add-ons would be understandable if they did an adequate job with the default UI, and they aren't because they know they can rely on unpaid volunteers to fix their shitty UI for them.
So this time around they broke everything (as usual) and all they have to show for it is a piss poor copy of ffxiv's UI edit mode + merging bags in a single window 15 years after addons did it (hilariously not even enabled by default, way to make life easier for new players)
Blizzard causes the most UI breakage while bringing the least amount of UX efforts. See also: the god awful talent UI.

You're pretty much asking for mutually exclusive things here. To change the UI, they need to rewrite the code. Doing so will break addons. What would have been considered good design 15 years ago isn't today, and there are functions that did (not) exist back then that now have to be accomodated differently.
You're also assuming your personal preference re: bags is "easier" for no real reason. Some people actually prefer having them seperate and use different bags for different purposes.
Broken addons are an inevitable consequence of ongoing game development.
Besides, Blizzard is going out of their way to support them. FFXIV is what not supporting them looks like.
I know it"s mutually exclusive. I wasn't clear enough so let me restate my point: either you break things and make it worth it by making a really good UI, or you count on the community to fix your bad UX for free and the least you could do is to actively support them (by, among other things, avoiding breaking things more than necessary).
Yeah, and the result is good. If blizzard decided to stop supporting add-ons but brought wow's default UI to the same quality level as FFXIV I'd be fine with it.Besides, Blizzard is going out of their way to support them. FFXIV is what not supporting them looks like.
Whatever they're doing currently is half assed: half assed "support" (closer to apathy, really, than "going out of their way") of add-ons, and half assed work on the default UI.
That sounds a lot more like you're either giving FFXIV undue credit or WoW not enough. Is the WoW UI perfect? No, of course not. Is it terrible? Far from it.
Could FFXIV's UI be better if they allowed Addons? Quite likely.
Does allowing and enabling addons like Blizzard does take quite a bit of work? Yes, most certainly. Your "half-assed" support may well have taken more work to implement than FFXIV's "great" UI.
FFXIV is customizable, but other than that, it is terrible.
It's submenus, hidden within submenus, that all have confusing names, confusing icons and you got so many different things in different tabs when they should logically be under the same menu point.
I believed you needed a lvl55 toon to make a dk on classic and get the mount
Was just informed I was wrong and will now be doing that while people freak out over broken prepatch
As they already said back in TBC: "Never play on patch day"
