Like why is Anduin already a boss you can fight but not the Jailer?
Do they release half the raid or something and then the full one week later it just seems weird to me.

They decided to release parts of the raid over the span of a couple of weeks. All but the final 3 bosses were available to start. Starting this week all bosses will be available for normal, heroic and mythic difficulty will open up as well. Not sure why they did it this way, but they did. Either way I'm not taking part. lol Gonna keep an eye on that expansion announcement, sure, but my expectations for WoW could not be any lower than they are now.

Ah I see.
I am watching Mikepreachwow cast the world first race tomorrow I think it is.
Used to watch him back when I played WoW and then I started watching again when he got into FFXIV and started ARR.
Pretty interesting to see how judgemental he was at the start and now he's basically a big fanboy.

Maybe it's just because of how big of a deal WoW was to me as a kid, but there sorta is part of me that is nostalgic towards it and wants to watch it for that reason too if I am a bit honest with myself.
I did enjoy Classic a lot too, didn't play TBC Classic but I got a Priest to 60 in Vanilla Classic.
Blizzard nowadays just has the same issue a lot of other Western devs studios have which is that I don't feel good supporting them.
Both because of the big controversies but also because of how the devs behave online, it's pretty easy to put me off of supporting a game and studio by devs behaving poorly and it being allowed.
Sadly it's VERY common it seems and I just don't wanna support assholes.

But yeah I'd be lying if I said there wasn't part of me that still kinda wants to at least watch the WoW stuff because of nostalgia.
There's still a lot of characters in WoW that are pretty important to me and I've been a big fan of since I was a kid way back in the old Warcraft games.
