World of Warcraft's new Warbands system is going to force me to resub

Thrall.

Every single time I quit World of Warcraft I tell myself it will be for the last time. Legion was the last expansion I really got into, and I still bounced off it. Honestly, Wrath of the Lich King was probably the last time I remained subbed throughout an expansion's life cycle. But something always drags me back in. When Dragonflight arrived, it was dragonriding and the dracthyr, but after two months I was gone again. And now The War Within is trying to get its hooks into me. 

Initially I was pretty confident I'd be able to resist the allure of The War Within, which doesn't have a release date but is expected in 2024. The new allied race, the dwarfy earthen, looks pretty uninspired, and while dragonriding being extended to most flying mounts is a welcome change, it's not exactly a new system. Warbands, though? That's too damn tempting.
