In your opinion, what causes most “bounce offs”?

[Ritsuka-55]

There are plenty of factors for this bounce off epidemic.

Mainly ARR and post ARR MSQ. Even with the prune, it's still awful, specially post ARR, it will never happen, but ARR at this point needs a kind of remake and complete restructuration.

Class/Jobs. First, from level 1 to 60 are complete boredom, they only start going from 60+ onwards, also, regardless of how much some people want to spin it, leveling them is a mix of pain and maximum boredom and it's not really rewarding. Heck even people that started from the beginning back in the day, that are most up to date, are getting tired of leveling 10 more levels every new expansion. Overall, everything is quite outdated.

Content. Not a single content, regardless of old or new is future proof in this game, or has anything going on to "keep" doing them or whatever, so it dies and stays dead, and trying to do them/finding people to do them it's very painful and problematic, because barely anyone wants to, which bridges with the category below.

Community. It has shifted and changed so much in mentality and many other things that I can't describe it, And it doesn't help much with the above for example. It's ironic I say this, cause ironically, even in peak WoW, or this very game in 1.0 I have always been a solo player, but the difference is that when I had need of people, I could engage and go on; "hey you need help with this/ or with that" "Wanna group? let's go, don't worry, we got this" "thanks a lot, let's beat this monsters, we will figure out something" and bla bla bla, you know, and then you said your farewell until next time. Now, I rather simply engage with as few people as possible, because the levels of entitlement, selfishness, passive aggressiveness/hostility and many other things I find in people today are a huge turn off, so I simply choose to not engage with people if I can. And sorry, this is not a matter of not having a thick skin, I've been a tank in this game since forever, it simply isn't worth to engage with todays community.

So, yeah, I assume everything I have said, it has already been said, so I suppose this is from my point of view.
