Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
Scenarios were not endgame. In fact, scenarios weren't even "middle game". Hell, they were useless, so much so they were scrapped in the following expansion.
Timeless Isle is useless aside from mindless grinding. Raiders had little to no reason to set foot there. Hell, even LFR players had little reason to set foot there.
Valor points quickly become useless because you'd have already upgraded all your gear not even mid-way through the content drought.
Flex raiding was useless to stretch out content since it's just the exact same fights, only with a different number of people with you, and rewarded only marginally better gear than LFR.
Siege of Orgrimmar quickly lost is fun factor mid-way through the content drought. It was so bad that even my guild of mega-casuals at the time persevered long enough to progress to heroic Garrosh (now mythic Garrosh).
In short: MoP had little to keep people doing stuff. Even for alt-a-holics.You're honestly the first person I see to say that MoP's content drought "was not that bad". Then again, I saw someone today make a thread about WoD being the best expansion, and praised the infamous "selfie patch", so there's that.
I mean yeah it's easy to dismiss anything anyone says, but subs keeps droppin and more and more people are migrating over to Final Fantasy. Proof is in the pudding, don't gotta take my or their words for it, can just use your eyeballs and watch the 6 month sub mounts get churned out, hint: they're panic buttons.
BfA and 8.3 lasted way too long for my taste, but thats mostly because I felt it dragged out already in March so I have been longing for Shadowlands for a long time. But 9 months of last patch is still acceptable, and may the 14 months of doing one raid never happen again as we had in MoP and WoD. Absolutely horrible.

Crazy that it has lasted this long and yet I'm not really looking forward to Shadowlands. Maybe I'm just too jaded to care at this point.

That's, why it was so stretched. Blizzard tried to make experiment. What, if we'd give them large amount of so called "content"? Would they keep playing? I personally don't. I prefer, when content becomes casual friendly and replayable, when Blizzard want to keep players playing for a long period of time without new content. And I don't see any improvements in SL. They returned dailies to remove players' choice to do, what they want, not what Blizzard want to force them to do. Overall that's because players hate things, like rep grinds, so they prefer to do emissaries only via doing easy mob kill WQs, that don't involve any time wasting. They don't want to do all that 25 rep WQs in order to get extra rep per week. May be at the end it would be even 200% rep, but it doesn't feel rewarding. Blizzard remove your choice, so now if you want to do "emissary" - you have to do, what they say, not what you want. Torghast is about challenge again. And I don't like challenge. And of course that famous Maw with ground mounts removed. And at the end I also don't like it's story.
I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.
Pretty similar - everyone related jumps into slack/zoom meeting by clicking a link, and there are plugins that share your IDE - code, cursor and even debug information.
Yes, in a big company it would be one department. I worked at IBM, it's basically tons of small to medium separate companies.(you work for a very small outfit)
My nickname is "LDEV", not "idev". (both font clarification and ez bait)
yall im smh @ ur simplified english
I bet it should have been released in August but due to coronavirus and working from home situation it got delayed which is completely understandable.
The thing is, for YOU it's the "make it or break it scenario", but that just means YOU (and others of course, but not the "general consensus") have reached this point.
There has been people who have felt exactly the same as you for every single expansion before (hence why I've heard it already each time), and there will be for every expansion after. That's why there is a slow decay but the game keeps trudging along, and there is not an actual "make it or break it" point for the game as a whole.
I mean, WoW survived WoD. I don't think it's even possible to antagonize sufficiently the entire fanbase to kill the game in one go if WoD couldn't manage it.
Covid happened, so I don't really care.
