The trait probably costs them at least some money as people finish up a little sooner and cancel until new content.

I've not really raided or done any dungeons past maybe original Naxx. However, with War Within on the horizon I thought I would start up and do the Remix event to level up a character to max. Anyone know of any guild groups planning on doing that I could group with? I've been leveling a couple classes trying to find one I like beforehand and unlocking a few allied races as I go too. (unfortunately quite a bit more casual than my raider college days though)

There just isn't enough interest in Blizzard products anymore. I'm sure lack of content doesn't help, but when they didn't even sell out Blizzcon last year, the writing was on the wall that people just aren't excited about Blizzard.
I doubt we see another one, as interest continues to wane. Similar to EQ and Fanfares.

But I bet they'll have Blizzard online event where you can watch pre-recorded videos and shitty esports with a $50 DLC pack!

So.. basically, my parents opinion of me when I played WoW during its prime. Is that growth on our part? Maybe..

Eh. There isn't a replacement. Probably won't ever be, so it will stick around until enough people die off in 20 years.

It depends on how quickly tools develop. Once the free version of unreal gets up to 5 or higher and there's some good apps for building game systems to go in it things will start to expand as indie and amateurs are able to put out higher and higher quality passion projects. Use chatgpt to generate models and voices. A few tools to make interfaces and quests. Some animations. Boom, Pantheon gets released.

WoW is my second gaming love after the Legend of Zelda series. Seeing the current state and then thinking about all the time I sunk into it (particularly 2006-2010), makes me feel this weird feeling of loss, nostalgia, shame, and regret. I wasted prime years of my 20’s just doing my daily workout then living in the game world. I held a steady good paying job but it wasn’t like I “cared” like I did about wow. It’s crazy how I feel myself a pretty grounded individual that separates fantasy from reality well. Yet many of my fondest memories are just hanging out in the game on Vent in the cities or the world or just running dungeons.
Going back for Classic scratched some of the itch. It wasn’t the same. The game is solved and the crucible for forming the bonds that made me lifelong friends with some of the people I met via wow or brought from my real life into wow was missing. A colder fire making weaker bonds.

Eh, depends what all everyone gets out of it. Obviously nothing is going to totally mirror it, but there are other options out there that scratch certain parts of that itch (and do those parts better, at least). I don't know if I could go back, but I said that when I left it mid Cata and ended up checking it out again end of Legion. Feels like nothing is worth playing more than semi casual these days, anyways.

Most of us have jobs and lives now that don't allow the same amount of time and energy for games. Doesn't mean there aren't new games out there for the kids of today that mean as much to them as EQ/WOW meant to us.

Same here, though I also had Eve-Online for the first few years of it's existence. It would not be so bad if the games were still as good as they were (granted, WoW has messed up more than Eve has). It's tough to see something that was very good - and you enjoyed because it was so good - go to shit. I'm not a sports guy, but I guess sports fans would have a similar feeling of seeing their favourite team over time fall from the premier league down to third league status through endless bad management.
