Overwhelmed.

I played wow in 2018 when BfA came out. Got a warrior to max level and that was it.

I‘m back but I’m so lost.

What I mean by that is - where should I go, what should I do? The quests just seem like gibberish to me because I don’t know what the actual f is going on in Azeroth… Should I try to get into the lore and figure it all out? Or is WoW just one of those games where you go with the flow and don’t think too hard — like Elden Ring but with less dying?

Any advice would be appreciated. I just want to enjoy the game without feeling totally lost.
