Why I miss Mists of Pandaria

- In this video I am taking a look at the Mists of Pandaria expansion for World of Warcraft and why I have pinned it as my favorite. I look at the worst aspects of the expansion, as well as the best parts of the expansion. I also then examine the deeper meaning behind these feelings and ask myself the question, "Do I really miss Mists of Pandaria?".

MoP was the expansion that the world felt the most alive. Two content islands and like 5 world bosses made for some awesome wpvp moments
To me, the Panderan race reminds me a lot of Tolkien’s hobbits. They’re hard to take seriously since they’re surrounded by a world full of fallen empires and races and factions hellbent on destroying eachother while they just wanna chill and yet once you look hard enough, you’d see they’re not just fun loving bears but a race that had an inner strength that’s helped them withstand countless hardships and that same strength to not let it weigh them down and sink into despair and anger. To say that such races like hobbits and pandarens shouldn’t exist just feels wrong.
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
FACTS.
Interesting i like that
Valley of the Four Winds is breathtakingly beautiful, one of the best zones in the game to this day.
GOAT expansion. Best writing, questing, pvp, instances, etc. Talent rework is literally the only negative, and even then the class design was still peak. Panda haters cope crazy hard but real ones know this shits a certified Masterpiece
After all the super dramatic villains and high stakes, I honestly found MoP to be a breath of much needed fresh air. I loved the focus on cooking, farming, brews, mysterious lands, and less serious characters. It made the world feel different and real for a change, rather than always being in 100% crisis at all times. Loved the atmosphere then and I still love it now.
Most beautiful expansion, the creativity of each zone and raids + the music everything is just spot on. It may take inspiration from asia but i dont see the problem with that. Alot of zones and races in wow take inspiration from the real world just like northrend took inspiration from nordic mythology, Kul Tiras and Gilneas took inspiration from UK. Uldum got Pyramids and Obelisks. Makes the zones feel authentic. the art team in this game is just unbelievable
Landfall and Throne of Thunder were the best patches this game has ever had. I miss them.
Landfall wasn't good, ToT was though.
Siege of Orgrimar was pretty cool
I started playing wow in the middle of Shadowland. ;). I’ve played through the old zones to level alts. MOP is one of my favorites. I’m 67 years old. I never wasn’t to be 15 again! I’d definitely take 30 though.
MoP is soooo good as a warlock player. I remember soloing dungeons as destruction, the green fire quest etc. sooo much fun
Warlock could do everything so good. you had a spam filler that you could use on the move instead of shadow bolt and I could be wrong, but i think you could use a glyph to give you tank abilities all the time and Demonology was awesome in pvp. I got some videos from that time and we did great until they changed how pvp stats worked mid expansion. Which destroyed everything because PVE gear did just as well after that so whatever class had the most cc generally won and didnt feel gear dependant at all.
@@lockgam I just remember loving the 3 target chaos bolts lol and the huge amount of health regen if you just stacked stam you could legit tank heroics
I miss tanking and dpsing as enhancement shaman and doing raids with mates in MOP. Goat exp
This was such a great video man. And, it's okay to miss Mists. It is your favorite expansion. That doesn't mean that it was bad for you. You can love it even if most other people hate it or find it mediocre. It will always be my favorite expansion because it introduced my absolute FAVORITE race into the game. I am almost always playing a Pandaren and I love their attitudes and vibes. Does it help that I'm a huge Kung Fu Panda fan? Absolutely, but that doesn't make my experience or feelings invalid, and you shouldn't feel like yours are invalid either.
MoP was incredibly good, I seriously think people that say the expansion is bad becasue of "lol Pandas" are so low IQ anyway, you don't need their take to begin with.
I love MoP bro, I know people hated it but I love the class design and the raids were awesome :D lovely video x
I started playing WOW in vanilla 2005, I've played all xpecs. By the time MoP release i was very disappointed & hated it, but after playing through all the content, i completely changed my mind. The game design, the oriental architecture & environment is impressive. I miss those days farm world boss for super rare mount, love the timeless isle & throne of thunder. Over all MoP & Legion are my favorite xpecs
MoP was PoG, give us classic MoP
God I've only just realised how much I miss this expansion. Also that ending got me feeling things I didn't think possible
Come play private servers lol
Dude Mists was awesome. It was the first expansion I preordered and played at launch. I remember getting off the boat, myself and 3 or 4 friends of mine. We got to the quest where you have to fly the little helicopter thing and bomb the ships below, but there were so many people that it was blocking the field of vision for everyone. So we literally we all just hovering in a figure 8 pattern being able to see nothing but wood and scraps of paint. It was 2 in the morning and we were all crying with laughter. It was easily the most hilarious experience I've had playing the game. I miss days like that where it was just me and some friends. We weren't trying to rush to endgame to get into a raid, or to get BIS. We just played and had fun.
I remember playing back in Wrath, which I know a lot of people already rate as the best, but it's great seeing another persons perspective on this. I've always thought that people remember their experiences over the features of an expansion. You tied this together really well!
When MoP dropped I was captivated by the monk class and it quickly became my favorite. The music was outstanding and the visuals were different. And the hidden treasures were everywhere. And my own farm!!
still to this day i don't understand why people give Cata and MoP shit for long content droughts at the end of xpac, but WoTLK can get away with a full year of ICC, oh wait i get it now, "Nostalgia"
Most of them quit before playing Cata and don’t know how good it was, so they just parrot each other that it’s sucks.
I really enjoyed Pandaria when it released, I had been playing about 5yrs by that time and really enjoyed exploring an island that only been secluded by mists for so long and didn't know anything about it..
the Jade Forest is also my best impressions about it, and the drinking laid-back atmosphere about the unheeded dangers that had been boiling underneath the surface and the oncoming conflicts between Horde v Alliance that had just ignited the coast and had set blaze to the Sha's which had tested the peaceful self-control and willpower of the Pandaren they had practiced for so many generations, most often reflected image of a romanticized and apprehensive approach to actual conflict.. of which the whole of humanity can, at one point or another, relate to (because we want this life to be "nice" and "easy", and reflect on everything good while ignoring everything bad)..
all the while, them maintaining cooler heads for their resolutions and determining that Hellscream singlehandedly inflamed the emotions of all of the factions involved, which had bled over from Cataclysm.
I also cannot agree with you more about those dailies!
oh, the Grind!!
like, holy shitballs, batman!!
it was after Pandaria that I took the longest break, because when WoD came out and I did the initial opening of the garrison, I saw how swampy it seemed with the dailies and said 'yep, I'm taking a break!"
and didn't return until BFA!
I caught up in WoD, Legion, and BFA doing the campaign questlines mostly, all before Shadowlands released (of which I was quite disappointed in, tbh lol.. surprise, surprise!! and I still think the dailies are too swampy!!)..
and yet in this present moment, I find myself going back to Pandaria to finish filling out my rep, albeit more at my own pace and I still get a lot out of this past expansion.. which, for me at least, remains among one of the better ones, imho
12:29 it's actually insane hearing your tales because if i was the one saying it, i would 100% believe your memories of the expansion are my own (funnily enough exact same age as well).
WoW was always something i've looked at from a distance and never being able to play myself. Then late December 2012 comes around and one of my mates wanted to play and luckily for xmas i now has the opportunity to really dive in. Windwalker monk was my first character and my one true love in the game, even though i think its been through the ringer since Legion i will always love and cherish MoP/WoD windwalker. My first character, Zhuk-Saurfang, hasn't left shrine since around January of 2014, his home is in Pandaria and i wouldn't want him anywhere else.
Love the video bro and my only regret is that this wasn't recommended to me by youtube sooner.
MoP was the peak cant wait to return to my survival hunter in classic one day
MOP is where I started seriously playing the game when I was in middle school. I had played a little when I was younger, and wanted so badly to play, but it wasn’t until MOP when I got a computer and my parents had enough money to pay the sub. MOP will forever hold a strong nostalgic place in my heart. It is my favorite continent in game, and to this day has the best music in the entire game.
Cataclysm wasn't "turbulent". The end of the expansion had a content drought, but, overall it was a very strong expansion.
Yep up until Dragon soul cataclysm was so much fun and it was soo good PVP or pve doesn't matter
My fav expension is still and always be legion the order hall and the story, just a 10 out a 10
Legion was a banger, bringing closure to Sargera's crusade, but MoP introduced a whole continent and culture. I enjoyed every location I played through
I started in wotlk, and i hear a lot of people that wotlk is the best expansion ever, but i never had as much fun as in MoP. The most fun i ever had doing all of the content the game has to offer, quests, raids and PvP. It is also the only expansion in which I enjoyed and played PvP.
nah fam, say what you will about your experience clouding your judgement but, I joined on the tail end of Vanilla and the best time I had playing the game was in BC. I made friendships that last to this day, I was in high school, I got a gf that I'd eventually almost marry, it was the most fun I ever had in WoW. YET, I still say with confidence that MoP was and still is the best expansion.
These videos about MOP never mention how the classes were so fleshed out and fun. The reason was, Blizzard wasn't as worried about balance. Look at what the classes could do at the same time and not be gated behind a spec or class, just look at that druid spell Symbiosis or whatever it was called, it was totally not balanced but they just had fun doing it. You heard a little complaining about how all classes had a heal but the strength of heals from non healing classes weren't as bad as future expansions. It was really just a perfect time if you just wanted to enjoy the combat.
non healing classes in MOP? Name at least one XD
My heart lies within the Timeless Isle.
The only thing I do for myself is take time to explore every expansion. I think your first exp is so special and then you learn the expectations and requirements for end game. For some that now replaces just enjoying what the whole fleet of teams creat3d for you. I cannot do that, I burn out in the grind, so I take my time to see what's going on while leveling. I have been captivated by what was created every time, even the bad systems or weak story, my wonder at what people created, the beauty, the music, all of it, blows my mind. It has since 2008 and continues to this day. After I've wrapped my head around the direction the story is taking and am invested, I then start tweaking gear for end content. Just my method of keeping engaged with a roller-coaster game I enjoy.
Hey pal, I started in WOTLK. but personally MoP is my favorite aswell.
Whilst not disagreeing with your negatives, I do think people too are quick to say they Pandaren are a joke of a race. They more light-hearted nature could be attributed to the fact that the Sha that inhabit their land feed off negative emotions so they aim to maintain a more happy go lucky attitude. Having said that, if you go through the quests lines of all the zones, there are at times some very dark moments mixed in there.
Secondly whilst you are 100% right about the architectural and design inspirations for the expansion, I personally love them and find it adds to the mystical nature of the continent and breaks it up from just being more of the same. along with that I don't think one can point to the this obviously real world inspired design without saying the same for a lot of the human architecture and design also.
Absolutely right about the Human architecture, that completely slipped my mind. Must have slipped the mind of everyone criticizing Pandaren architecture too! I never thought about that reasoning behind the Pandaren attitude thats actually quite an interesting theory
@@retro_today A lot of WoW overall of course has its inspiration coming from other fantasy settings, not that this is at all a problem though!
It is for sure my head cannon as to why they are so laid back :D
I miss the giant worlds that aren't packed with quests etc in every corner and feel so cramped. After MoP everything felt like some scenario instead of an open world
I terribly miss those days of roleplaying on Wyrmrest Accord in MoP. Most story-rich and epic server-wide storytelling there ever was, never to be seen again. If anyone creates a private server for MoP roleplay and raiding, hmu.
That ending 😭
MoP was the best expansion for me as well. The music is amazing, the beauty of the zones and the monk class i mained. It was my first dedicaded raid guild that I got Cutting Edge with and I did hundreds of arenas and pvp, plus i got challenge mode sets on 2 classes. My guild was full of great people too. I will forever love those 2 years.
Homie out here makin me cry on Friday night
i had the exact same experience with mop. It was my first expansion. I loved mop, got legendary cloak on 2 characters, leveled up every single class to 90, got 1850 rating, killed garrosh in heroic as paladin tank. killed 500 people on timeless isle for a red transparent bull toy. All while i was 14. great times
I think your final statement about everyone's first expansion is interesting. Overall I think for a lot of people I think its being younger which made those experiences so memorable. However I also a big part is getting to experience wow for the first time, regardless of the expansion. Getting to learn about the different classes, races, zones, and so on for the very first time can only happen once. Regardless if you started in Vanilla, TBC, WOTLK, CATA, MOP, ect
A touching essay! Thanks for sharing. I started playing at the end of TBC. Rolled Alliance and was upset that nobody ever wanted to help with Halaa. So I rerolled a Horde Rogue and made Halaa my focus. To me, that's when world PVP was at its best because there were underlevels questing there that might help, which they could due to bombing. Started friending the other Halaa regulars and we'd have somewhat impromptu 40 v 40 battles Friday nights. WoW was never able to recapture that experience for me.
When WLK came out, I finally started embracing the multi-player aspect of the game. Started taking raiding a bit seriously and was always very well prepared. Then Dungeon Finder came along and ruined everything.
After that, the game sort of lost its touch for me. It bothered me the way "the shattering" altered old world forever. I spent almost all of Cata running folks through Karazhan that had never seen it before. MOP represented for me the first time where power levels were such that I could waltz through my old WLK stomping grounds solo. I remember watching Raegwyn back in those days, but I didn't have his level gear. Though I did do some Raid Finder and did the legendary cloak chain. So I did enjoy the MOP content mostly.
I think I ended up getting both WOD and Legion once it was out for over a year and they had their xmas sale. Only played for a month or two. Never touched retail after that. Blizzard isn't Blizzard once Activision got involved.
the ending though
Great video. I miss grinding the lore for the legendary cloak aswell. It made you do the raids and getting exalted as well as interact in the timeless isle alot. Miss the expansion so much,.
The biggest complaint I've heard of was that it was a product to sell to China subscribers, I've never subbed to the official server and just been playing private wow servers, by the time I heard of that rumor I haven't played wow in a few years. I actually ended up subbing to WoW a few months before dragon flight, I actually enjoyed the trial because it let me played at my own pace until I needed the Auction house. I really enjoyed that casual play where I hung out and fished.
I'm neutral about all of the xpacks, and I would actually consider Cata to be a bold xpack. I just wish Blizzard would go back to all of the old & clunky mechanics in the next xpack and modernize them so you would find it worth while to try things such as making the Scrapper of BFoA worth while to invest time into.
I joined MoonGuard with the logic of how if that server's population is dead then the MMO itself is dead. That's the kind of gamer I am.
My biggest hate for the game is the Looking for Group & Flying Mounts because of how it radically changed up the Risk Vs. Reward. I would also remove the extra flight paths placed in old content such as the one that goes to goldshire.
Everyone was missing MoP after WoD.
I blame the people who shit of MoP for why WoWs writing now feels like it was written by a 9th grader.
What happened in Shadowlands was a tragedy
Soon we'll get that sweet MoP Classic, i can't wait!
It would be nice to see mop+, since it could be the last "classic" for now. I imagine it will be since wod looks a lot more like the wow we have in retail. Cata will be fun also!
@@googleuser64920 Yeah idk I feel like WoD is closer to MoP than to what came next. Mythic raiding was a thing back then already but there was no m+.
Man's worst tragedy is that he was a child.
Thx for this great vidéo!
I really love Chinese & Japanese architecture and lore. I think that's why I liked it so much. With anime culture more alive today I think MoP would had done better if it was released around this time.
Stunning story telling, beautiful editing and such nostalgia!!!
MoP game design and class design was the best it has ever been in wow. 100% is the best expac ever, can't wait for classic MoP.
I loved MoP, i was around 10-11 years old so i finally understood the game and i fell in love with it
MoP remix hitting soon!!!!!
I love mop it was my first expansion when I started and having no clear villain in mop was my favorite. It’s why I like dragon flight so much because I just like exploring an unknown world with new cultures and traditions.
It was my favourite too, which is why I'm looking forward to MOP classic, despite what others think. After MOP I can only say Legion was ok the rest have been god awful, especially the latest one. And the "you started in this expansion" is a cope argument. I started in vanilla and still see MOP as the best expansion.
I love ur videos so much man it's so warm and fun to watch thank u so much for sharing ur experience with others
Can mop be played now? I had classic tbc wotk but where do i find mop?
Stormforge mistblade I guess is the most active private server for it
Thank You
@@erikbergenholm2419
Cata comes next. After that they might go for MoP
@@user-nz4un6se7y Oh man your the best thanks very much
Pandaria is my favorite expansion, I still go there to do my garden and my fishing .❤
I think mists was super fun, especially since i enjoyed the monk class and pandas had been my favorite animal since i was a small child, so the feeling of adventure, story telling and goofy quests mixed with serious ones was honestly a really great experience.
I don't think i miss it though, since i got everything out of that expansion that i could, i wouldn't want to replay it really, but i can honestly say i played mists happily.
I will never love WoW graphics, but only Pandaria makes me feel the richness of the world in that way.
😢😢
When i was a kid i had to fight with my family over playing on the same account throughout wrath and cata lol, but when mists came out i lost interest during lvling (12 at the time i think?) BIG MISTAKE
One key component to the initial reception of the Pandaran race was fear. WoW had gotten easier and more casual friendly with every expansion, and when they announced that we were getting a Kung Fu Panda expansion, a lot of players thought their worst fears were realized. A lot of people didn't stick around to find out if it was good or not.
WoW players have always been fearing WoW becoming yet 1% more casual when in reality it's only been becoming sweatier with each expansion and feature they added. Classic is the best casual experience while DF is the best esports experience WoW can provide. Not even close. It's actually funny how it went under our noses but I feel like players wanted the game to be harder until they couldn't keep up with it and liked to blame the absolute throw aways for the casual players in the form of LFR and similar things
As someone who started in wotlk, mists is my favorite expansion too
Sweet video, keep going
I can't wait for MoP Classic. If they are going to do Cata then they may as well do Mists of Pandaria. There is nothing wrong with MoP. People are just close minded and stupid.
Well written and well spoken thank you this was eye opening and delightful.
I think we miss the feeling and days back then.
But i also think we miss the old wow you know what i mean?
the other day during DF i went to a private Cata/mOP server and just started characters there and did get to max lvl
Let me tell you something
If i compare that to modern wow like DF
it doesn't feel the same way when you play
It is nostalgia 100% but also they change the game so much that this game stoped making you feel the way older expansions did
For example If i started human in cata and you lvl up through out elwyn and redrige etc
and you go and do the same thing in DF you not gonna feel the impact of your spell you not gnna feel anything because in cata for example it felt like it's CURRENT
but in DF you one shot everything even without heirloom like it's only there to give you ExPerience
Next thing i wanna talk about is that if you compare combat one on one
old cata or MoP have much much smoother and feels good combat
and DF during early lvls doesn't feel that way
I dare everyone who says that you miss expansion only becauseo f nostalgia go to any private server for any expansion
even WOTLK you gonna soon found out that it's not all nostalgia
It's the changes they made to the game
Even the floating CMBAT text when you crit that was change completely in WOD
so it felt like a different game
And i did my research in every expansion over the years because it made my mind crazy why the hell am i missing certain expansion
and i started comparing everything to modern every detail
So once again it's not all nostalgia
it's the blizzard drastically changing game
well its just you had good time in MOP
Same with me my favorite is vanilla wow but i had the best time in Cata
Great video!
I loved and hated panda-land for all the reasons you said. And I started with WotLK. Also, you forgot to talk about how the never added more 5 mans throughout the x-pack.
Pandaria is my fav Expansion too. But i feel like if you dont like grinding then you are totaly wrong in wow 😂 the rng system you mensioned after too. Since the beginning wow relied on rng loot. I simply loved the grinding for legendary cloak and the systems
I'm sub 984, your closer to 1000 every single day
I miss MoP times too!
I cant tell you how much I was annoyed and constantly cringing at Yrel and her forced storyline in WoD. And then they made Grommash a villain we could suddenly forgive? WoD(excluding parts of Legion) and everything after was absolute dogshit. MoP was rich, in every definition of it. It was the last good expansion as far as lore and immersion imo
Yrel was the best part of WoD for me lol
You might wanna go outside then@@LastDoppelganger
Come play private servers. I’ve been enjoying MoP for about two years on and off and it’s been a blast.
Next year Pandaria Pre patch realeases
playing mop remix?
You know it!
i cant wait to play mop classic and i love pandas!
I would rather play MoP to this day than this shitty Dragonflight, it was the best expansion.
It’s not just you. I’ve been playing since 2006 and MoP definitely might be the best expansion.
The only thing that went wrong was a 14 month content drought.
Nah man, wrath of the lich king was straight downhill from there, who tf decided heirloom gear was a good idea. Mop was okay but the game was already on a downhill slide. Also f**k monks
Because leveling is shit, and they’re right
MoP was far from my favorite expansion but i dont think it was nearly as bad as the expansions that followed. As a priest main, it had some of the best combat gameplay while the UGLIEST gear ever created in any game. I enjoyed mop pvp but couldnt stand the story and pve content.
Dude MOP was the greatest expansion but dont be so hateful against thunderforged. they gave each item a max ilvl increase of only +8 which was a far cry from legion where it could go up to +40 on a piece of gear. +8 was very minimal and not so bad. only 2 years for mop classic baby
That's cute that you were 15.
I'm convinced that people who think MoP was the best xpac either started playing in Mists, or started playing the game seriously in Mists. You can't argue that Mists' content made it a superior expac compared to, say WotLK or TBC or Cata.
I would never say any expansion is superior over another, it’s just pure preference. Even still, I explain that while the content for me was fun, ultimately it comes down to our experiences, even in expansions that are often labelled as “bad”
"You can't argue with my opinion" lol
@@lunaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I mean you can, but you won't. I know it, you know it, we all know it. :P
@@DrFrankenschtein I thought u were an asshole but this made me laugh so thanks u cheeky bastard. Still disagree though xd
You can say that you missed Pandaria
Strange video. Highlights all the things good about MoP, talks about how BfA sucked despite having fun with friends during it, then says it's actually just about missing a specific time in life and not exactly about MoP's qualities. Despite just saying he enjoyed the TIME that was BfA but not the xpak that was BfA. Otherwise you got all the points about MoP right. Despite dailies not being necessary, there were too many (and too many pointless ones) to feel like good game design. And thunderforging was the start of something VERY bad for wow game design, despite ToT being one of the best patches ever released. And regardless of MoPs failures, we truly saw how it was just the tip of the iceberg when WoD released. As well as BfA and SLs. Legion and DF are quite good. It's wild how they damn near almost finally killed their own game by doing bfa and then SLs the way they did. Terrible design in both.
u started in MOP? explained than.
I started in mid TBC playing till this day DF
all expansion and i'm gonna say MoP was much much more fun
Why? becuase i'm main balance druid
and i'm gonna say that in MoP balance druid wa the best designed spec i have ever played
I never ever even in WOD or Legion could enjoy that spec like i did in MoP
Mists of Pandaria is THE expansion which I hated the most during my time playing retail. I started playing WoW two weeks after it launched in 2005 and I played all the way through up until the announcement of Mists of Pandaria when I felt as though it was a joke. When it was finally over and Warlords of Draenor had been announced, I came back and started playing the last month or two to get my character ready for Warlords of Draenor. I felt as though my decision to skip Mists of Pandaria was a good one because even though some of the zones were nice, I still felt Pandaren were nothing more than a joke race, the armour themes were all ugly, the storyline was terrible, the whole Sha stuff was annoying, the new Monk class was awful, and I, like many other players at the time, felt the entire expansion was designed to appease the China audience. The fact the expansion that was designed to appease the China audience also brought in all the log in requirement mechanics is no coincidence either.
After leaving retail for good when BFA finished, I played Classic from launch and fell back in love with the game until WOTLK. Growing up, WOTLK was my favourite expansion, but having gone back and played it, I think Vanilla was the game in it's perfect state. That low-fantasy setting is what pulled a lot of people in because it had almost everything fantasy enthusiasts loved. I now play Classic-Era only and when Blizzard one day kill it off because they open the shop, bring in the token or just shut it down because they refuse to do Classic+, I'll leave WoW for good.
Skipping MoP was a terrible idea. There’s a reason why the people that played it, loved it.
Monks were awesome in MoP. Best tanks by a mile and fun to play, especially challenge mode dungeons.
MoP had more open world content and World Bosses than the prior 3 expansions combined, Timeless Isle will forever be the most fun zone this games ever seen.
Seige of Orgrimmar is the most on-theme raid in WoW and Throne of Thunder was just epic. It had its own island with a dynamic conflict you could participate in.
@@brandonkruse6412 Everything you said is subjective and not a good reason as to why "skipping MOP was a terrible idea".
@@MrHowardMoon Sorry, but no lol. 3 content islands and 5 world bosses with tons of other world content like professions and pvp to partake in is objectively good for WoW.
One of the reasons I hated TBC and Wrath was because there was just nothing to do in the world. It’s all sit in your max level city and zone into an instance.
@@brandonkruse6412 You're clearly triggered, angry, and offended that someone doesn't just blindly agree with everything you say. Move along, lad.
@@MrHowardMoon Huh? How did any of what I said come off as triggered or angry?
Seeing as you never played or experienced MoP, you don’t know anything about it and shouldn’t be commenting though.
One of the biggest problems with the MOP expansion is it really never felt at the time we had a "Big Bad" to defeat. The Sha was kinda stupid, which was it for so long and after that it was the horde leader i think . No epic Boss, unlesss you want to count isle of thunder but that was way after it started
this game is dead
It is far from dead, season of discovery (classic vanilla with some barebones new content) -still has about 150k players playing even seeing that its being sort of.. underwhelming. Wow will die eventually if they don't change the entire game. What blizzard is doing now will kill the game after some time, but private servers are becoming really popular right now, there is a release many people are looking forward to coming very soon called project epoch, for example. Also we are starting to see some changes being made with the release of cataclysm classic. The narrative director steve danuser just left blizzard a week ago, if they can find the right talent they have a chance of surviving the fallout of the shitstorm they made, while the game is known for not giving the quality it used to give in.. 2004-2013, they could definently turn it around a bit if they actually made a good game. Remains to be seen though because the game is creeping towards death.
