I thought he was just really angry? Aren't liches already dead?
Nah, we killed him. Got the purple loot, achievement and everything.
Exactly.
what
Hard disagree; Cata was definitely a stumble, but Mists of Pandaria did a lot right, as did Legion. BfA also had its moments, even though it was severely hampered by needlessly obtuse systems.
Shadowlands is where it truly died.
I started late into Cata and really got going in Mists and absolutely loved it. I think OP is having a "back in my day" nostalgic moment
Yes, I started in Vanilla/BC. Wow isn't for everyone. But right now, between the deluge of content it's built up historically and currently. The current system respects player time and desire much more than any in the past. If you want to just do Battlegrounds and PvP while gearing, you can do that. If you want to do world content while gearing, that's becoming more and more viable as well. Plus you can always do the old path of raiding. And in this next expansion, PvE play and gearing is going to get even better.
Shadowlands was where I finally stopped. Playing since day one I'll never forget when I decided to stop. I got the the "fairy land" part of the expansion, was running my Orc Hunter through and then I just stopped and asked myself "What are you doing?" It wasn't fun. It became a chore to get through the content to the eventual gear grind at the end just like ALL the previous expansions.
I quit in bfa when my guild stopped raiding, came back for shadowlands, and while having a miserable time in the middle of a LFR I thought to myself "why am I playing this?" Then quit because it was just a checklist of chores I didn't really enjoy.
And since then it's back again with Dragonflight, The War Within, going into Midnight.
WoW probably will never die.
They all turned into Leech King years ago.
