World of Warcraft died because the developers only catered to casuals and world prog

[MistyMew]

WOW has diminished so badly because:

1) they DIDNT cater enough to casuals
2) Ion is a lawyer not a game developer and it shows!
3) developers inflated egos versus good game decisions
4) they have been charged with a disgusting amount of law suits for sexual misconduct discrimination etc

many many reasons why wow is a state of decline , it never has been and never will be related to casual vs hardcore.

open your eyes please

This is true. The high water marks of WoW were all accessible for most of the player base and were also very alt friendly. Wrath, Mists and Legion had a healthy top end game along with raids that were puggable. We aren’t talking about just lfr crap either. Normal and heroic could be progressed by a raider who pugged. That was huge for their success. The mythic + treadmill along with alt unfriendly power grinds in BFA and Shadowlands killed it for a lot of players. The constant focus on only endgame and throwing away the story every expansion didn’t help either. Mythic + just ended up making the player base exceedingly toxic too. They wanted to turn WoW into an esport and just made it a toxic cesspool.
