SSD Becomes a System Requirement, 100GB SSD Required for WoW Shadowlands

My point is there's no reason why WoW's inferior textures (resolution-wise) shouldn't take almost as much as ESO.

they probably don't but WoW has double the expansions of ESO, more cut scenes and audio, larger overall zones, raids, dungeons when you add in expansions. It's been two years since I played ESO but I don't think they used WoW's shard technology either.

Is a RAID0 from 3x 970EVO 250GB running all at x4 PCIE lanes + another 970EVO 500GB for OS ok?

nope

stuttering issues like xfire and sli

No I didn't. Screenshots from last year showed me a game just as crappy looking as back then.

I am sure that WoW in 2004 had DX12, full shadows, water reflections, god rays, blah blah, surely I would remember having that!

You are also forgetting that cinematics, sound, music, etc. takes space too.
P.S.
Shadowlands will even have raytraced, well, shadows...
