Assuming that's true that multi year story telling is going to be an even bigger abysmal failure than war fronts was in bfa.
Also that leak clashes with some very well established lore. Either its massive retcons as usual or its a a clear sign that the leak is just someones bad(did they misspell galakrond?) fanfiction. Sad state of WoW that such inconsistency doesnt automatically mean its bullshit.

To be fair, they worked the grapevine with "the next expansion will be totally the lead writers baby" and "everything bad was Afrasiabi's fault!" so hard, that they now have to do some long-term story telling. Also, everyone interestred in WoW lore screamed at them that they obviously had no real long-term plans, so they pretty much have to die on this hill now.
Interestingly, this could also bring that rumored content release change: Instead of selling you a big expansion every 2 years for 40 bucks, where you only play the current patch content anyways, they are going to sell you the current patch for $30 every four to six months.
WoW may be the first MMO to jump the shark before its moon expansion.

Since they already have "battle.net" they'll call it "battle.pass", and in turn sue everyone else for the trademark.
Bonus points if it's linked with seasons for their other games, like OW2 and Hearthstone. Oh, and you get a recolored mount for HotS once in a while.

I hope they put in Player Housing since so many soyfags cream their panties over it, but I hope the Player Housing is actually WEF Great Reset versions where you get mini Tesla bubbles and own nothing but you can rent cosmetics to put up in your house.
New eternal micro-transactions right up your stupid assholes, now you can rent wallpaper, and other retarded shit to play barbie doll princess dress up to make your pod the coolest in the stacks. I am going to send an e-mail to Bobby and become the next President of Blizzard.

I could totally see them going the way of FFXIV and turning the endgame about player housing and cosmetic/mount shit.
If they hired some zoomer "analyst" to write up why FFXIV is stealing all their subs, it would pretty much tell them switch to a casual endgame with gay housing and fashion weeklies.

Ignoring FFXIV, player housing is a proven means of retaining people in a game, be in FF14, or TESO/Fallout76, or whatever.
You just need to be to robust enough that the player feels like they can be creative, if that is their goal. Overly restrictive housing systems like SWTOR are less appealing.
My concern with WoW is the engine is pretty old and while Garrisons kinda showed what they could maybe do with a housing system, it was still pretty bare bones in terms of housing promise.

FFIXV is stealing all their subs because the "girl gamers" care about being sexy and having slutty fashion items. That's the female power fantasy. But Blizzard will never admit that. Instead you get more fruit bowls.
That's great and all, but a fresh coat of paint won't solve the underlying pain points with the timegates and grind-focused endgame.
Also, a lot of the casual transmog/mount/achievements collecting and pet-battling soccer moms play on literal toasters, and if your game doesn't run on that anymore you can kiss both their subscription money, and their pet/mount microtransaction money goodbye.

This will turn it around for Wildstar!
The problem is this lacks any kind of soul. It's like that shitty Warcraft movie.

But when will men be depicted as the malnourished, disease ridden, poorly trained and equipped fodder they where for almost all of history?

Of course it lacks soul, it's a project thrown together by 1 person as a demonstration. Soul and polish are the little details that get added as the content gets fleshed out and finalized.
