You should check out Valve's Proton. It's wine, but not wine... It's another abstraction layer built on top and it is pretty amazing. For the most part it just works. Doing some quick searching it looks like people have WoW running on it.

It is Wine, but with patches, that one day could be clean enough to go upstream. Some eventually are merged upstream.

I keep hearing this, but I have so far not been able to get a single game (even ones marked with excellent support) to work on proton. I really, really, really want it to work, though!

WoW runs fine on regular Wine Staging, too (though DXVK in particular gives some rather ridiculous framerate improvements).
