Most people negatively critiquing WoW seen to be in a grouping of consumers who haven't played it in many years now. In my personal experience, everybody whose quit seems to have been around Mists or Cataclysm. Or BFA. Or Shadowlands. That's a handful of expansions but all of them came well before Dragonflight when class balancing had reached its apex for the first time in the games history. Dragonflight was launched 3 years ago. Like me and Aiderouge mentioned. There's unbalanced classes. But it's deliberate. It's for the best, I think, since there's over 20 DPS classes. (if we go by class Specializations)

And with the way classes are designed, all of them perform well in any content you bring them to, but some of them shine ESPECIALLY well in specific content. Like Blood Deathknights (a tank) are just unkillable so if you're dead set on clearing something, they can do it. Slowly. But they can. Rogues and (Frost or Fire) Mages have had their rises and falls from grace in raid but they've generally always been the undisputed kings of domination in PvP. Druids and Paladins are usually the best classes for Raiding because they bring a lot of utilities and unique spells that let them temporarily fill any role outside their specialization. (they're both Jack-Of-All, masters of none) You get the idea.
