I went into the forest to fight monsters straight after the intro, must have missed that one.
But if the first thing you do when a new expansion drops is go look around a tailor shop, maybe you're asking to see gay dudes I'm just sayin'.

The Demon Hunter change to Demon Blade and Demon’s Bite fundamentally changes how I play that character and I do not like it.

Idk I have mixed feelings so far (3/4 zones completely done atm). They talked about THE TITANS, AZEROTHS CORE OMG, WAR BETWEEN LIGHT AND WHOCARES and me, the champion who did a lot of amazing deeds over the past 20 years in WOW, steps into a remake of Eversong woods and been immediately told "KNAVE, prove your worth and bring me 8 lynx pelts". Midnight is formulaic as always. Nothing really changed, the same professions minus gutted pet collecting scheme, the same 5 quest types, rares, 20 renown level, zone chests, zone sojourner, glyph hunter, nothing really changed over the course of the last 4 expansions except maybe dragon flying or delves. I feel like I'm playing the same game since legion basically. On top now it feels like half of the rewards is furniture. Amazing "Champion, you bested the evil that plagued this region, here is your Ivar shelf". Seriously so far it feels like a content patch with a new zone or two. Plus some classes play a bit bland now after the ability revamp but that could be just me. I like lots of keys, I played EQ2 for years

The removal of Demon's Bite is one of those changes that mythic players support but the non-mythic, the "I play for shits a giggles" crowd (the one Blizzard has been actively chasing out for a decade+), don't understand the point of the change at all. So what if we play a slightly worse build, isn't that the point of builds to begin with? So not everyone is shoehorned into the exact same play style with every character, so people can't find their own style that works for them? I'm not doing mythic, and I barely do lfg/lfr but that shits a joke so who cares if I did hit that shit on the regular? That one change completely alters how I have to play a Havoc Demon Hunter and it was an unnecessary change, your dps is fine for regular gameplay without Demon Blades and probably fine for low end mythic but fuck me right.
It's a change to satisfy a group that isn't effected by the change, it's fucking dumb. Why not just force the Icy Veins build of the month on everyone and remove the illusion of choice.
I am bitter at this company and their design decisions. Run by incompetent clowns.

Every questline reads like "Overcome your PTSD, embrace peace and abandon your murderhobo ways for a simple life of crafting and house decorating. Also please go genocide this entire group of indigenous humanoids because it's still an MMO."

They didn’t remove it because of high end players; they just play whatever is best. Blizz removed it because the class design has been avoiding that ability since its creation. It has moved more and more towards the focus being on movement and managing short CDs and buffs. Removing the requirement to self manage resource generation also aligns with their desire to streamline classes with less things for players to track and manage.

You're not wrong, housing items should be on vendors only or as drops from specific stuff I think, instead I feel like every time I save a village they give me their old stuff that was cluttering their hut.
Small spoilers below if you care about the story, as there's some bits of new lore.
There's indeed some new Titan lore. As far as I know, it's the first time we find out Azeroth's Worldsoul wasn't where it currently is, it was in the cradle in Harandar and the Titans forcibly removed it to lock it away in the core of the planet. The removal is remembered as a wound in Harandar, the blood of Aln'hara / Azeroth is what created the memories and monsters below in the Rift of Aln, so that implies they weren't gentle, or at best clumsy considering what they did when they tried to forcibly remove an Old God from Azeroth (Y'shaarj, which basically exploded in the Titan's hand and fell in pieces all over Pandaria). The titans are also shown as not benevolent to the haranir in the visions we see of their memories, the haranir had to actively hide from the titans and their machines when they were ordering the world.
This, plus the Light becoming basically a cordyceps disease, is paving the way for "The Last Titan" being not about a war between Light and Void, but against the Light, or at least, the Light as embodied by Xe'ra, the Naaru, and possibly the Titans.

It's certainly not great, but to be fair the titans not being "lawful good" has been a theme for many years now in WoW's overarching story. They're at best extreme in their "ordering" of the universe according to their own design, and will mercilessly destroy anything that stands in the way of that objective (reorigination protocols installed on the planets they order).
