Honestly despite all the shitty gameplay elements of modern WoW the thing that makes it most easy to never go back is reminding myself of how shitty the lore has become to the point they made a literal tranny the most powerful person in the afterlife who decides where every dead being goes for eternity.

Like if it just kept the old atmosphere of bloodthirty orcs and war and such then maybe it'd catch my interest. Instead it feels like it's written by writers rejected from Steven Universe who hate the very concept of war and want everyone to come together to defeat enemies with the power of FRIENDSHIP.

Say what you will about older expansions like Pandaria but at least those had a clear easy to understand theme (basically China with pandas). What even is the theme of "The War Within' expansion or "Midnight"? It's not easy to understand to a regular normie. You have to already be deeply invested in WoW lore to even understand what these expansions are about.
