It's just simpler. And then Blizzard caters to WOW WOTLK Classic Gold them and makes it easier to stay in that bubble, so obviously more folks thankfully get within that bubble. The neighborhood won't ever have the ability to alter that again - if Blizzard doesn't force people to prevent being asocial they will never be societal. You might not own anything or a bunch finder, but you will be still dismissed by people just as easily as on Retail. You are going to need a correct guild there also or you will only be in a 200 man leveling guild without having played with any of these people.
No, it's not"WoW's neighborhood" whatsoever. It doesn't have anything to do with WoW. It is the fact that instances changed and we're not in 2005 anymore. People/WOW players have undergone a multitude of (additional ) games throughout the past 15 years and the MMO genre isn't quite as strong as it was in the past. That feeling of immersion and wonder is long goneleaving its space to other experiences/feelings. Those times you say did exist, yes, but in that context. Slow connections, no Wowhead, no premade online manuals, no Twitch/Discord, no infinite Youtube stations about WOW WoTLK Classic, etc.. This was a very different age with different technology, different platforms, different link and different men and women.
You hope to revive the very same feelings and can't return in time. It is over, it's done. WoW isn't a novelty anymore, we all know every single pixel of the map, every quest, each npc, every-everything. And that is why 99 WOW players from 100 won't stop in amazement when starting a new toon from Elwynn forest: because we've seen the beginning zones 1000 times already. It is a chore, for most WOW players. I am pretty sure that many frozen accounts would still be active if Blizzard unlocked free 120's, free allied races, 100% free transmogging, free realm migration, free faction change, etc.. I would be enjoying WOW WoTLK Classic also, rather than waiting/hoping for the next growth.
When we had more resources to play with, I am sure we'd be a LOT more interested in playing WoW. However, in reality WOW WoTLK Classic is all about endless grinding to get rewards. Individuals stopped getting involved because there is nothing. Hoping to"revive" the fantastic old times of WoW is naive. Sure, some people can do it, there's no doubt about that. But you simply can't anticipate 2020 to be like 2005. We're different, the world is different. And WOW WoTLK Classic has been undergone boundless times already. Those who are looking for the"core experience" of WOW WoTLK Classic need to proceed to something else and begin a new journey on a different match, cheap WOTLK Classic Gold in my view.
