Is the new World of Warcraft expansion any good? (sh.itjust.works)

Was wondering if anyone had played it, and if it's actually any good and not just recycled content with reskinned monsters and more grinding?

Is it any different from previous expansions? Is endgame nothing but grinding again?

What's the deal?

This is a pretty good take.

Personally I'm bored of it and have been for several expansions. I buy the xpac, play for a few weeks to check out end game, realize that it's the same boring grind with a lick of paint and shelve it again.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Wow and that's kind of the problem. By focusing on mass appeal the game has lost its soul. It's now about buying gold and paying for carries and nothing matters at all in it. I'm surprised that gdkp culture from classic hasn't fully killed traditional guild raiding in retail yet.
