Everything just feels so over the top.
Well that was sort of inevitable since whenever Metzin wrote titans were the size of planets. It's just classic villain creep at this point. Looks like the next expansions is an attempt to downscale things for a bit, but I bet people will complain about the mundanity.
It's not mundanity, it's same'ol'shitity. The problem is every expansion for a long while now has been harping on the same old cycle, and it is a formula that drastically needs to get broken somehow. Every expansion comes with a power reset, in which players once again level up a few times, run dungeons over and over again to gear back up, rinse and repeat.
There has to be a way to change that up.
Either that of Blizz is just desperately trying to figure out ways to keep WoW interesting. There are only so many villains, and they seem very reluctant to bring many of them forth. Bring back the old gods, lets us fight an army of them.
I think the best thing WoW could possibly do at this point, is work towards a final ending. The old gods return en-masse would be a great way for the Horde and the Alliance to finally come together as a team forever, the players could fight and deal with the biggest and baddest enemies remaining in the universe. And WoW can then just...end.
Make a sequel mmo. Do something drastic with the reset to classic. There are a lot of ways they could take things.
Imagine taking the Classic servers and rebuilding WoW entirely. What if they remade the expansions and released them onto the classic servers in a different order?
Instead of going to Outlands first, we instead stumble upon Pandaria where Wraithion warns the heroes of the impending burning Legion invasion. After dealing with the Sha and winning over the favor of the Pandarins, we gather learn that the legion invasion is Garrosh's fault as he begins his crusade on Dreanor. So the third expansion is Warlords, where we try and fail to stop the burning legion from taking over Dreanor which then becomes Outlands.
Defeated we return to Azeroth, where the Lich King decides to use that weakness to try and conquer everything. We band together and unite our resolve to defeat him and recruit Death Knights to our service. With new resolve and new heroes on our side we return to the ravaged Dreanor (now called Outlands) and take revenge on the Burning Legion. It is here that we capture Illidan and imprison the Demon Hunters for later.
Upon our return to Azeroth we learn that Deathwing has taken advantage of our absence and the Cataclysm happens while we are away. This sparks not only a renewed battle between the horde and the alliance as the limited remained resources caused by Deathwing spark conflict between factions, but it also releases the old god that had been corrupting Deathwing this whole time. So not only do we have to battle Deathwing, but in the wake of the cataclysm we have to battle back old god corruption taking over different zones.
During this time the Burning Legion comes for us, desperate to strike at us while we are still scattered and weakened by the shattering. Heroes gather fabled legendary artifacts to use as weapons against the legion, and this time we destroy them for good by taking on Sargaras him-motherfucking-self.
Then do a final expansion purging Azeroth of the old gods forevermore and bringing peace to the world of warcraft once and for all.
The end.
See? That shit isn't so hard.
