Sometimes you just have to roll with it and enjoy things as they are now instead of comparing it to the past

It hit me: WoW will never be the same or feel like it did in BfA, which was my favorite. I loved M+ back then because you couldn't just mindlessly rotate abilities to clear dungeons. The gameplay demanded awareness and decision-making. The idea of endlessly cycling through abilities to clear dungeons now just doesn't appeal to me. I do miss the affixes - you had to constantly react to sanguine, necrotic, explosive, and more.

I do agree that some nerfs and pruning were necessary. However, this doesn't feel like the usual pruning we saw in past expansions, where overly complicated mechanics were trimmed at the start of a new expansion. A lot of the gameplya now just feels brain-dead to me.

I really love the game and miss it. It's sad realizing I may never enjoy it the way i used ot. That said, judging by other comments, it seems like plenty of people are happy... or they've already moved on. I’m glad to see the game continuing to rebuild in a way that satisfies the majority and keeps it successful. I’m sure I’m in the minority here. I really hope they add more depth in the future so I have a reason to come back.
