My question is quite specific.
I'm not new to WoW, I played since early beta and up to the release of Cataclysm. And that's when I left because I was disappointed.
I'm one of those players who enjoy going through the content at a slow pace, so I don't care about rushing to level cap and doing bleeding edge content and itemization. I like instead discovering the contained stories that the zones have been built around, complete all the dungeons progressively, and stuff like that.
With Cataclysm's rebalance what happened was that I'd get in a zone, do a couple of quests and already outlevel everything around me. It became impossible enjoying even the most bland of quest chain because I'd outlevel it even by the middle of it. It was even worse with dungeons because even after a couple of failed attempts I'd have outleveled the dungeon itself and entire zones outside, to the point that I stopped doing dungeons entirely.
I of course enjoy doing content at its proper level and don't like to power level through stuff. Like doing a low level dungeon with a high level player in the party that makes everything trivial.
I see that now I could resubscribe and I'd have all the expansions minus Legion. My question is: how much of all that PvE content in the game is actually playable now?
Do I get to find group members to do that myriad of dungeons, or is all that content rendered totally obsolete and unplayable now?
The idea I have of the game, that I hope is wrong, is that even new players just get close to top level in a couple of days and then simply play that 5% of content that has been recently released and is where most of everyone already is. Whereas the remaining 95% of the content sits there as an obsolete, desolate place.
So what's the situation, and what about the problem I described that made me left after Cataclysm?
Can I do (and enjoy) content even in Wrath of the Lich King, or Outland, or Draenor, or is it all abandoned?
