Although nothing in Shadowlands was able to bring out the qualities that fans who have played the longest-running MMORPG enjoy and WoTLK Gold appreciate about WoW, there are some reasons to be cautiously optimistic about the game's future. In the wake of California's state-wide lawsuit of claiming Activision Blizzard of fostering a "frat boy" culture of discrimination and harassment towards women and women, the WoW developers took a long take a look at the game, and began removing or changing certain of its less-than-sensible content in service of creating an environment that is more welcoming. Its 9.1.5 patch included Blizzard listen to the players' feedback and bring about sweeping adjustments to unpopular systems like the ability to freely change Covenants and the elimination of Conduit Energy, alongside changes to improve the game's accessibility for players with several characters. Blizzard set up an WoW Community Council, meant to be representative of a variety of players, in order to speak more directly with the wider community and to gather feedback. It was announced (to praise from fans) in the last week that Horde as well as Alliance players are soon able to play together in group content to break down a long-standing blockade that's been in place since the game's inception. Patch 9.2 added a new zone as well as raids and other activities that were generally well-loved by players and the general public. the patch's testing period saw Blizzard implement a variety of positive changes based on player feedback.
All of this is a step in right direction. Unfortunately, many of those changes (specifically with regard to Shadowlands) are far too little and come too tardy. It shouldn't be taking half of the lifecycle of the expansion to consider feedback from players and make changes to almost every single one of the systems. Ideally, those systems shouldn't be able to make it into the game at all, and certainly wouldn't if Blizzard had been more attentive to the opinions of its community during the months before Shadowlands the game's release.
The announcement of WoW's next expansion is just ahead of us on April 19th. What's in store for players is not yet known However, it's obvious that Blizzard won't be able to adopt the same approach for the new expansion that it has done for the previous two. In light of the amount of time that is normally reserved for public playtesting, Blizzard's previous cycles of expansion releases, and also the continual issues with working from home because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic chances are good that the new expansion isn't coming out in 2022. but instead be available in cheap WoTLK Classic Gold 2023. Should that be the case, it would be only the second time in game's history that an expansion took longer than two years before it could arrive.
