World of Warcraft |OT9| People still play this? Isn't it from 2004

Fine with me.
April Fool's is dumb as hell. Especially right now. Last thing we need to be doing is encouraging people to spread bullshit.
What exactly is the Sentinax event for? As far as I can tell it's just a bunch of demons, no bosses or anything. Is it just for nethershard farming? And if so, why is it impossible to tag anything? Everything out of the portals turns grey for me immediately.
Pretty confused about it overall lol.

Nethershard farming. There are bosses, but you need a specific item to spawn them - and if you spawn one of the bosses, the portals will close and the farming ends until the Sentinax recharges.
So don't spawn the bosses
Try and find a portal that isn't camped on the fringes of the area or join a group.

Is it worth starting from scratch with a trial on Battle.net or is buying Legion the best way to get into WoW?

Apparently the death grip horribly animation change didn't go through, happy days, Death grip has one of the most perfect animations in the game. I don't trush blizz to not fuck it up if they try to improve it so just don't touch it at all.
Try the trial either way.
Why would you not, for all you know the game might no gel with at all so try it before putting any money down.
If you like it you can get the base game set and legion later.

I was incredibly lucky and got it like the first week of Legion.

These Paragon mounts are going to make me hate myself. And exclusively play humans.

This expansion is going to be an absolute nightmare for completionists that skipped it. And that won't even be counting some RNG stuff that likely won't even be available.

Each class mount requires Exalted with Armies of Legionfall to start the questline. So that will be fun.

They should not remove stuff that's gated entirely by RNG once the next expansion comes out. I'm still waiting for the exploding sheep to randomly appear in the mage order hall to begin the next part of the hidden artifact quest chain. At this rate I don't expect it's ever going to proc.

Who's bright idea was it to change the colors of player names? I now can't tell if someone is flagged for PVP or not.
Managed to get a decent Nethershard farm group and am up to 12k now. Still think the whole system is kinda weird, though. At one point two groups starting fighting over a pair of portals so in anger some dude kept spawning the bosses to interrupt eveyone's farming.
I don't get why Blizz went with this oddly strict tagging system. Should just be able to roll up and help out people around you kill stuff like any other zone.

The Nethershard system is danger close to becoming a mobile F2P gacha game. Farm up those points for a chance for something desirable.
I think they were trying to implement a WOW version of Diablo's Blood Shards as an RNG hedge, but the problem is that Blood Shards drop from the primary endgame activities.
Nethershards only drop (in a reasonable amount) from a very specific mob farm with a ton of issues.
In short, make Nethershards drop elsewhere or make them easier to get.

The idea is decent but the implementation is massively shitty. Think of how many different ways you could get Timeless Coins and Apexis.
Think of all the ways you can get Nethershards.

Yeah, that's my problem with it so far. Only way to farm them is if you find a decent group. And even if you do find one, you better hope the server isn't too high pop due to the tagging system and singular location.
When Legion first launched it seemed likely virtually nothing was account wide. Rather than embracing alts and account wide progress the Blizz dev team seemed to double down on single character progression and forced repetition, it's quite annoying. Things have improved somewhat with patches but at this point everything that can be account wide, should be account wide and there's no good excuse for it not to be.

For stuff like Balance of Power, my cynicism says that Blizz is holding out like this to try and keep the hamster wheel going for people who have alts to make more 'check boxes' to try and hit before they tire themselves out or stop playing because they've 'done it all' - similar to changing the AP grind to be almost impossible to actually finish, rather than being 'done' at 54 traits for a spec (something which people had already accomplished before 7.2 hit)
They'll probably change stuff like that it if/when subs start dropping precipitously, or if enough people actually legit organize and make their displeasure known, rather than the random rabble-rousing.
Stuff like the 100 dungeons for the hidden artifact skin probably isn't ever going to change until the pre-patch for the next xpac hits, though. Or even later. Going off all the class fantasy talk, they want you to have a 'story' with each character
Real answer:
Blizzard answer:
"I grinded Heroic dungeons I overgeared by 50 item levels for two weeks straight carrying some of the worst players imaginable for this artifact skin."
What a story!

I think they are going to open up more ways to get them. They have too. Right?

Depends on how lucky you've been with the reputation item drops from mobs, how much rep each invasion grants, and how many invasions show up during the time period (and whether or not there's a cap on rep from invasions on either a daily or weekly basis)
IIRC someone said 1500 rep per invasion based on the PTR, so theoretically, with Darkmoon Faire, you'll get more than enough with dailies, the weekly class hall quest for rep, and legion invasions IF an invasion is available every day, and it's still 1500 rep.
At the very least, IIRC some blue post said it's feasible to get it within 2 weeks.
If they don't, Nethershard farming is gonna dry up real quick, and just boil down to groups camping it similar to rares in Tanaan jungle.
Though supposedly, Legion invasions are supposed to give a good amount of nethershards as well.

I love people that purposely pull the entire room and act shocked to find themselves and the rest of the group dead.

Edit: so the mage tower on Sargares is at 99%. It took around 5 1/2 days going at full speed with the presumed Max number of players that would be available because of the patch, and we'll get half that in uptime...interested to see how long it will take for the next one, and the next one, and the next.

Green Fire-esque solo scenarios from the Mage Tower in Broken Shore. Unlocks an artifact appearance if you beat it.
Ah, I see.

Broken Shore isn't total shit, there's a World Quest where Daglop summons you to slay yet another demon for him/it.
Also, Sentinax farming reminds me of grouping to grind out and farm WoD reps in the garrison daily blue bar areas. Just not something I want to even do.

Speaking of which, I only realised recently that Daglop has special text if you summon him with the toy on a character who hasn't done the quest yet. That's good attention to detail.
The Daglop Quest is great.
I don't know about Sentinax. It's a giant, mindless grind, but so far I actually like it. Might be because of the presentation where it actually feels like an endless army is attacking. But let's see how long until I don't like it anymore. I absolutely hated the Shao-Hao Rep on Timeless Isle. The WoD Apexis areas were cool at the beginning, but got old really fast (mainly because all played the same, unlike previous daily quest hubs which all felt a bit different).

My experience doing the Mage Tower Artifact Quest as Moonkin.
1) Hit Typhoon
2) DC
3) Log in to corpse and a lost 100 Nethershards
