Just as BFA was awful, the WOW TBC Classic Gold HoA wasn't a bad system when they secured it up and they could've easily done more with that moving into Shadowlands.

Why don't you just base it SW/ORG and enlarge upon it with every new xpac instead of going from Garrisons to Order Halls to this fucking boat to Covenants. Have a garrison type case in SW/ORG. Plan about it being used longer duration, new growth released and you can build the expansion special building that'll progress the narrative. Or the NPCs only show up to advance the story. Having it as instance in the big cities will fix the"everyone is in their own garrison" issue.

It is absurd that so much development time has spent on expansion specific substance. Island expeditions. Warfronts. Or when did they figure out that warfronts weren't going to function as planned. It turned out to be a major characteristic of the bfa expansion and imo was largely a dud of a characteristic. It is a huge waste of money to design a system which only lasts an expansion.

It is so difficult for me to get round the idea that blizz knows what they are doing when they implement a system. They place systems in half finished intentionally. Take a look at the legendaries in legion. Players were stating, making posts on official forums, so that the system they were applying for legendaries was dreadful and was only going to upset the participant base. Silence. It was put in as is and of course, people were upset. We had people in my guild who'd 3 legendaries at the start of EN. Some had two, most had 1, some had none whatsoever. Even people who had at least one didn't necessarily get what they wanted/needed. It required the entire growth for them to put the machine as it ought to have been from the start. They understand but for the interest of MAUs they include in fans and changes to systems to have people to stay or come back.

Also enhancement: got broken at the start of the expansionwith a tried rework(Legion), were very good for a week because of a bug and bad equipment so nobody scaled nevertheless. Bug got repaired, and we had been in the garbage for the next 3 raids, together with continuous dangling of'we had no time this patchwe guarantee we fix it at another one'.

It didnt happen in bfa - we sucked there also gameplay wise, we had any raidtiers at which we were middle of the pack instead of bottom third, but thats it. They finally de-reworked the entire spec into a much better version of their pre-legion gamestyle (gameplaywise) and then just never buffed us to be more aggressive in raids. I think they just have some very dedicated designers for a few courses and specs, and those that are constantly forgotten and disregarded just dont buy WOW Classic TBC Gold have someone who wants it to succeed, so they just get looked at sparingly and receive a 5 percent buff here and there.
