Blizzard lost a designer
The developer released a 15-minute video forsubscribers on YouTube, in which he explained the decision. A key factor was Kaleiki's dissatisfaction with the state of the game and the team's "a little confused" vision.
As an example, the designer sets the guilds that used towere an important component of the endgame. This system limited players, but encouraged them to cooperate with each other and create communities. Now, gamers no longer need to join alliances to enjoy all the content, which is why modern WoW has lost its focus on player interaction, shifting attention to NPCs and story.

"Warcraft and WoW have always had a history, butLately, the story is just the bulk of the game. The characters and their own dramas really take up a lot of air. Whereas I think in a virtual world, in an MMO, the players are actually the story,” Kaleiki says.
According to Kaleika, Blizzard is now biggerfocuses on engagement and a progression system, rather than MMO-exclusive features like guilds. The designer is aware that many players like the current state of the game, noting that the problem is not with WoW itself, but with Kaleika's vision, which does not coincide with that of the team.
