Why on earth would they gamble a make or break on a billion dollar revenue??? That doesn't make sense, like at all lol...
And having raiding as a lobby? What? You have looking for raid if you dont want to commit to something serious and plenty of normal guilds that dont care.
You have the option but you want mythic gear right? Just like everyone else

Wow is not for everyone and people (such as yourself) also grow out of it.
Its ok to let it go and play something else. I did for 3 expansions, felt great.
But for someone thats old old? This expansion is perfect. It's back to basics, the talent trees (bit depending on class) are just amazing and fun. Dragon riding is one of the best features since TBC introducing flying mounts. The dungeons are on point as always. Raid testing has been super fun on beta. They're overhauling and making professions matter again and there is no forced grind of any real sort, no borrow power system, the catalyst is staying for making tier sets so thats already good, the first tier are super basic, which again, is really nice as to not convolute the talent system on launch.
So, its like back in the day, you login because you want to play, because you enjoy wow and/or the social aspect of it.
No more "ughh, i have to login and do torghast or w/e because its reset in 2 days".
There's also no heroic week and straight into raiding...
The zones are beyond beautiful and amazing... I dunno... People always love to complain but DF looks really solid and what people have asked for lol....
