Is this Zoomer lore?

After Shadowlands it's hard to get invested into the world. The current game is so far removed from what it was, even if it's an improvement over Shadowlands, that magic of what made WoW for me is just gone (and not coming back).

Levelling is also entierly butchered and there's no balance to it outside of the BFA zone or Chromie Time (which new accounts can't do*). You level so fast you jump entire continents worth of levelling before finishing a zone. Grouping up and syncing with friends makes this even more strange. The new talents are nice, but it seems odd that they are even set up in such a way when you blast through levelling anyway so the reward of unlocking one at each level feels largely redundant. Genuinely, I understand the argument that they may as well just remove character levels at this point.

*Update: They removed this restriction, but it doesn't change my rating of the expansion. Current WoW is still like going back to a childhood theme park only to find every ride you liked has been replaced.
