I suppose that pressing circumstances demand remarkable changes.
I don't think we've ever seen such an instance of destructive simultaneity. Scylla and Charybdis come to mind.
Only one place to go from here: it's time to talk about Sylvanas.

I'd add this from the next expansion thread;
Each group of keepers guarded and worked at a facility.
We had Odyn's group with Ulduar and the Forge of Wills which was meant to guide the mind of the world soul and was used to churn out more Titanfroged
We had Ra's group (which I wish we could have explored instead of the Indiana Jones parody bullshit) with Uldum and the Forge of Origination which was a failsafe in case everything went poorly.
And then we know we also have Innaria's group. I'd assume they controlled Uldorus which would then be in Avaloren (since we keep getting told about it). And it would have had to have a third Forge for a group of Keepers to be there for maintenance. What would it's purpose be?
One of the biggest mysteries in our WoW fandom is what happens when a Titan is born. How violent is the act of birth, what happens to the planet around the world soul. We cannot really make a call based on Argus because of Sargeras' interference. Yet the facility holding Argus' world soul was named AntORUS, similar to UldORUS. So that facility likely holds Azeroth's world soul or at least is the closest one to it. I posit that the last Forge would be the one meant to midwife the Titan birth. This links an Avaloren plot with Azeroth's actual awakening
I also wonder if there was some Mesoamerican-themed Keeper group linked to Uldir but again, missed opportunity to explore that with Zandalar.

Or we could make a point and try to be constructive. Comment on them if you must and then post something else that fits the thread theme (or rather don't comment since if you post one paragraph about them and multiple constructive ones trying to steer the discussion back, you still get infracted for it . . .)

One dungeon?

A pirate fleet that dwarves the combined forces of the Horde and the Alliance with a Euron Greyjoy esque leader on a quest to claim ancient and magical power, with the ability to control dragons and deep sea terrors would definitely be a threat worth our time.

Garrosh and a splinter faction of the Horde were the main antagonists of an expansion. Why couldn’t the above also be?
My proposal isn’t pirates the main theme of an expansion anyway. It would be a MoP style expansion set on Tel’Abim focused on exploration and ancient civilisation with focus on Djinn and Ifrit also. I just see Nightsquall and a titanic pirate fleet as major antagonists there.

While I'm enamored of the ideas presented, I don't think I don't think Blizz should develop it...at this time.
At this time Blizz lacks the creative fortitude to develop well and fully any expansion that held a depth that MoP had. If they were to make the attempt in the near future it would be ruinous to the concept.
Of course Evoker was always planned to be a third spec. Whether they ran out of time before reveal, or they wanted to attach the third spec to a storyline, it’s quite clear that development for the spec happened long before Dragonflight was released.
My point is that at this stage where Blizzard doesn’t really seem bonded by their old “rules”, there’s no reason to doubt that Blizzard could release a new class in 11.0. It could certainly happen.
That said, my money is still on Yrel invasion with Arrakoa and Ogres for new races. On the class side, maybe some more support specs get added to the existing classes. I could see Enhancement, Survival, and Discipline go Support.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
We've already seen Uldorus : it's Tyrholds (https://www.wowhead.com/item=201726/...report-uldorus)
MMO Champs :
Pretty much.
Nightsquall being in control of several artifacts he’s discovered around the world could easily present him as a threat. Control over dragons. undead, ifrit, sea creatures etc. Have all that backed up with an enormous fleet that eclipses the combined forces of the Horde and Alliance. Present him in a way similar to Euron Greyjoy from the ASOIAF books - cruel, manipulative, intelligent, a practitioner of dark magics. He could easily be an expansion worthy antagonist, it’s just whether Blizzard have the capabilities to write a compelling villain in this sense.
I think a lot of folk in this thread are looking at how pirates have previously been presented in WoW, such as Freehold, Flynn, Harlan, Bloodsail etc and just think of them as whimsical. A Euron Greyjoy or even Davy Jones style pirate lord could absolutely be a compelling enough threat.
They retool the specs every expansion. Also Enhancement and Discipline already lean in support’s direction. Obviously Enhancement would still be DPS and Disc would still heal, but they would lean more towards buffing fellow players.
I would add a Mage spec to the mix as well, since they have a bloodlust variant. Arcane maybe?

Make iR-to akin to Ultron from Avengers.

Tbh I think it was planned from the start since there were earth evoker abilities shown off on the VFX artist’s art station.
It’s probably a big reason why they redid the Evoker starting zone and completely cut the “pre-stasis” portion that was originally planned. (To give story reason as to why Evokers suddenly couldn’t augment others)
