I'm not a big fan of WoW, but one thing I like that I praise the game for, is letting newer players jump right into the new stuff unhindered. You want to start playing now? You get a free level booster with pruchase. The game never says you have to go back and do the older content but its also not gated behind 100's of arbitrary quests. The devs at blizzard know that things have progressed, and the game world shows it. You can go back and experience those events, but as it stands in the actual game, Arthas is Dead, Deathwing is dead, Garrosh is Dead. They are gone, and Final just doesn't do that. Every player is in different spots in the game, and while its nice to let them experience it on their own if they so choose. Is it really so bad if they miss out now so that we could actually get and keep newer players? But really this is only 1 stone in the wall of problems this game is facing right now....
