Black Temple will likley be used to try to plug the gap but lets be honest, only a few niche people care about TBC, and its not gonna last long.
Were gonna see likley a huger drop-off around 9.1's first month because many people wont even bother to do the content.
Yes, it is that bad, by the time 9.1 drops, the content itself wont be enough to excite people, and worse still, the raid wont launch when 9.1 does so people wont be getting a new raid until at least ... a month, after 9.1 drops, so september, optimistically, october, realistically, because blizz knows releasing it in october will possibly give them time to keep people from leaving for Endwalker when it drops in november.
Unless they actually have the idocity to try competing with the most popular competitors expansion with a raid, cause I promise you that wont work out well for blizzard.
I did say, Its actually possible they may even try to release 9.1 in september and the raid in november to try to compete with Endwalker, I actually wouldnt BE surprised if that ends up being true.
But ill be honest, if it does, fire Ion, oh my god, fire him, hes done beyond all words at that point and if they dont get their own Yoshi P to fix the mess Wow is in, they're in serious trouble.
