You say this all the time yet it seems very rare that folks do this (in the OF at least). No one was even talking about those folks either tbf. Also I've seen plenty of ex WoW players (claimed at least) claim the game isn't going down that route and that folks who are unhappy with the game atm are advocating for changes that do lead to WoWs downfall. Many streets to this with no right or wrong answer really

I wouldn't call you a hater ofc, but being concerned doesn't make you any more right than anyone else, nor does it mean folks who don't share your concerns are just downplaying things.
