What about any of that is exciting? We're down to 4 zones now, some whogivesashit faction system, and an endless dungeon that is probably going to play the same as FF14's ones.

Level Squish?

JOURNEY THROUGH A NEW LEVELING EXPERIENCE—Level up your next hero through a fully revamped 1–50 experience where every level is meaningful, then advance to the new level cap of 60 in the Shadowlands.

Also looks like the free level boost is now tied to the more expensive version of the expac instead of the base one:

Pre-purchase Options
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is available for pre-purchase digitally from the Blizzard Shop starting today, with three different options all designed with player preference in mind. The Base Edition of Shadowlands is available for $39.99 SRP, providing a new lower entry point compared to previous expansions. The Heroic Edition ($59.99) includes the expansion; a level-120 character boost; and the Ensorcelled Everwyrm mount, which provides access to a questline through which players can earn the Vestments of the Eternal Traveler transmogrification set. The Epic Edition ($79.99) includes the Anima Wyrmling pet; the Wraithchill cosmetic weapon effect; the Eternal Traveler’s Hearthstone, designed with a unique visual effect; and 30 days of game time, in addition to all of the contents from the Heroic Edition.

Because the world is all BFA has, and I want to see what new world building and what the art team has been doing. Raids are almost never bad either. It's new content that is almost guaranteed to be good, and I'm excited for it. The actual gameplay though, we'll see.

Fair enough, but I hope you realize that what you're getting excited by is like the base minimum of what any expansion would have. I envy your enthusiasm, but they haven't shown anything of notable substance other than base-minimum.

Considering what it takes in becoming a Death Knight. Allied races willingly submitting themselves to something like that is kind of lol.

The DK Legion class hall questline included turning people into Death Knights (at least one voluntarily) so it's not really unprecedented.

The level squish will be nice, for sure. I wonder if this means you'll be able to level DKs and DHs from level 1 now, from normal starting areas. I wonder if they'll do away with the level scaling now since it won't really be necessary anymore.

It's like the characters and story is written by people with memory loss.

The replacement for the Lich King, wearing one of the most powerful artifacts in the setting, able to command the entire scourge, and a former alliance hero gets his ass handed to him without laying a single finger on her, just like Saurfang (a fan favorite asskicker) had happen to him, and she breaks the helm of domination in-half like it was a kinder toy.

She's pretty much One Punch Man

That's character development! She couldn't do it back in wrath but now she was able to. That's how it works right?!

I'm glad about the level squish. Better to have few but meaningful levels than endless meh.

They've actually hinted about her having some new-found power for a while.

Pretty evident by BFA cinematic when she becomes a fuckin actual real banshee which she's never been able to do before. They've been teasing her spooky powers since then.

All of that is entirely from BFA cinematics. In wrath she ran from Arthas scared, so scared she tried to kill herself.

In cata she was put in her place and never said a word when garrosh called her a bitch and told her to stop raising people as forsaken.

Even in legion she ran away at the first sign of danger.
