The end image makes your argument 500x worse to the point where I don't even care to read it. You made so many argument points but then ended it with some MsPaint shit. :(

I agree that the decline of world cohesion has had a negative impact on the game, but I think a lot of the issues you're brushing off as superficial are actually far more significant problems.

So much this. Appears to be written by someone who doesnt quite understand the implications of those "superficial" issues and instead spends time highlighting inconsistencies with the game long after it was ruined.

I do not think that the problem has been the expansions, the flying mounts, the lfg, the pokemons, the pandas or any other addition that you can think that has destroyed the game. Each of us has enjoyed some of these changes or many of them. The problem is all those characteristics together, that desire to want to make everyone happy.
I think that in the case of a video game, as in the cinema or music, when the goal is to try to cover as much public as possible, it implies a loss of style, identity, authenticity. In the simple there is much beauty.
Wow began as a beautiful young woman with natural lips and breasts, and has become over time a gigantic and monstrous Frankestein. Maybe if you look at his feet or eyes you think they are lovely, but when you walk away and see it completely it is scary... and a little sad.

I understand the ALLEGED implications. I've been debating them for years. Some of them have more credibility than others.

So far I think this is the worst thread in Barrens Chat. It's nowhere near as bad as the threads that grace the official Blizzard forums on a daily basis, but it's clearly not up to par with what we expect of this great marketplace of ideas. The good news is that we can take comfort in this together, because my experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and statistically speaking that means it's very unlikely that we'll see another terrible thread in the near future, and that should give us all plenty of time to reflect before the next one hits.

Remember to hug your loved ones tightly tonight, for you may never know what tomorrow brings.

OP's argument is more complicated than "change bad!" and therefore I am mentally incapable of understanding it and this fills me with nerd rage

Fixed.
