the sad part is that even if this leak is true, all it does is make me wonder how they are gonna screw it up again. shadowlands sounded awesome. and yet the story, game design, class design, systems, and almost everything else has led to the biggest exodus of players in the games history. we may not know the numbers but the last time wow had a big exodus (wod) another mmo didn't suddenly become popular and gain tons of former wow players.
i genuinely prefer wow over every other mmo on the market and would leave ff14 in a heartbeat if wow became a good game again. but i doubt that's going to happen. it seems blizzard these days only deals in extremes. extreme grinds, extreme lawsuits, extreme egos, extreme pandering.
