For the person looking for family mental health records. Yes it is understandable to take it to court as someone who has extended family that has had to do this, our extended family went through this at a point with someone who was already struggling in mind though and had the money available to go straight through the court. If you are trying to figure out specific mental illnesses, yes, this did end up cutting down the average amount by years it took to diagnose the specific disorder and find the right medications to help my Aunt sort herself out and be able to have a happier life.

I'm not sure the last time Miles played retail, but personally I don't really agree with the take on it. I quit in late wrath (ICC patch) after playing since vanilla, and didn't come back until the tail end of BFA so I was basically a brand new player at that point with 10-11 years of not really thinking about WoW that much, and it's been a solid time. I get the criticisms of long time players towards BFA and Shadowlands, but Dragonflight addresses the "systems" issue, and I think both retail and classic (especially hardcore nowadays) both offer unique but good experiences for people willing to give either of them a shot. Classic is about the journey, but the destination is a bit iffy unless you either find a great guild that you mesh with for endgame *and* don't mind the raids being braindead easy, while retail is about the destination which is nicely fleshed out and pretty fun in most patches, but the journey all but doesn't exist since they made leveling a chore that only takes like 7-8 hours to get a max toon even for non speedrunners.

I respect Miles' thoughts on retail WoW, but I wanted to give another perspective. For context, I am a top US30 raider.Retail is no longer story driven(in comparison to classic), but class and system driven. I play the game for end game content. I treat it more as a seasonal game. I go hard the first month or two of a new patch, do progression raiding with my guild, maybe push some Mythic+ dungeons, and then play other games. I think its not really a comparable game anymore, and for someone who likes classic(which I personally dont), I could see how retail is the "worse" version, but I think its just trying to do different things. Now whether it is succeeding at those different things is certainly debatable. Always a pleasure to have you on Miles.
