If you do not grind then you do not get your chance at random loot, with random stats, that has a chance to roll a random +55 ilvl boost to let you skip the current raid tier. World Quests do not revive any old content, it only exists in the new content. You do not "see new areas" its the same areas you already ran through every time. Besides the new zone, the rest of the world is pretty damn empty. So you can argue that they only succeeded in making the most recent tiny section of the world actually have a population in it. Which granted that is an improvement over Borelords of Draenor.

Simply put, Legion is the polar opposite of Draenor and people still hate it. Instead of being stuck in 1 garrison all the time you got a garrison and you have to go run around in the most anti-flying expansion to date, through the most anti-ground mount maze terrain to date, to play through "content" that is in essence smash your head against a wall for an unknown amount of hours hoping something falls out. Especially that Best in Slot legendary your raid team wants you to have or they will replace you with someone who already has their best in slot legendary.

WoW Legion right now is basically a diabloified version of WoW. People only keep coming back because they are required in order to compete, not because they actually like the content. In fact, going by their forums, they largely vehemently hate it. Especially once they found out that everything they do is going to be worthless as its only for this expansion. An expansion where the only thing consistent is how much you grind for inconsistent reward.

There are plenty of good reasons why my WoW friends abandoned the game.
