...many around here will try to find reasons why NOT to spend $ this time on WOW: Legion. As I recall clearly week before WOW: WoD launched, this community voted 44% to purchase it on launch, while the other 10-15% were undecided (and I was surprised on the amount of responses the thread received. http://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/423299/poll-wow-wod-yay-or-nay/p4
So, my lovely community one thing we know is Blizzard again is getting lucky, enjoying the good weather that 2016 it is providing at them. Three months is a lot of time and if you are buying Legion or not buying it, you are welcome to voice your opinions here. Is there something new you found a home to? A new, better MMO, or did you move on to single players or a different genre?
I honestly, dislike Blizzard, especially how WoD was supposed to be that expansion to be the one to get it from the Pandaria slump. Regardless, with half of the community here voting to buy it on launch had a direct impact on me to have easier time to throw my $ at them as well. I just dislike it so much that they made so much $ from us and instead of giving us back a far greater product, what do we see delivered to us? Overwatch and Warcraft movie alongside Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, a failed Titan project. The only good thing I can think of is how many subs they lost with WoD. If anything, now they understand better that it costed them far more for believing the majority of their customers would stood by with their product and keep their subs, which clearly wasn't the case. So, if anything at least I hope to get a better experience, just to get me through the end of this year which will be the biggest challenge, since I don't see anything else with a set date arriving to us in 2016.
Over the last 1-2 weeks also WOW: Legion has had plenty of new info released as well as alpha going with youtube out there and what not, players can pretty much by now know what they will be getting for their $50 purchase. One interesting thing will be the gold for sub trading. Legion might prove to be much cheaper than before. On top this would also help to bring and maintain bigger population.

As life happened and one after another quit gaming altogether, eventually i quit too. As a very dedicated healer i had no problem to find groups or a guild, but you just can't click with strangers the same way and nothing had the same meaning anymore.
No addon could bring this back and my only reason to buy Legion would be nostalgia and memories.

Going to see a movie, + popcorn and soda = about $15 USD for two hours of entertainment.
Going to a bar, $15 will keep you going for about two hours, depending on the bar.
$15 won't even get you into most concerts.
$15 = what a cheap restaurant meal costs, which is, well, one meal.
$15 = the rental fee for three typical movies on PPV, which is about 6 hours.
Paying a subscription fee to a game you like buys countless hours of fun and entertainment, as many as you want to invest.
Subbing to a game looks like a really good deal to me, especially when you correlate hours of entertainment per dollar. Someone who plays 30 hours a month (considered a casual player) is getting an hour's entertainment for 50 cents, or half a dollar. Someone who plays 90 hours a month (considered a hardcore player) is paying 18 cents an hour...
What do you get for that sub fee? A game with the resources to grow and improve, adding content regularly. I think a measly $15 a month is well worth it IMO.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

I have never played WoW and still have no intention of starting now, but it's a bit of an odd feeling when I see all the other birds forming-up and flying south every now and then...
I expect to have a bit of fun in co-op with the GF - but I also fully expect to be sick of it within a month.
But that's still a lot of bang for my buck.
That is the best way i can describe WOW anyway.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

As for this..

..MoP gets a bad rap, in my opinion. It was actually quite nice with the story, zones, and especially the content updates. WoD failed on all three. The sole reason MoP did bad was because people didn't like pandas.
These days there're more and more F2P MMOs out there, where i spend some time and money, if i really enjoy playing them.
@Observer I agree on you with Pandaria, it offered size 10 heroic raiding and I enjoyed it a lot more than WoW:WoD. In WoD I never even raided, that's how bad it was.

Why I'm interested to back Legion one more time is mainly from the fact that ArcheAge and Black Desert the biggest competitors to it over the last 2-3 years that came from Asia failed and without nothing in sight with a set date coming in 2016, my choice is only more easier.
I'm taking a pass on Legion.
