I'm not sure if you actually read my what I just said, but I have a neutral, open position. I barely played Cataclysm, though I played enough to grasp what people liked and did not like about it. The theme of this thread (if you cared to consider it), again, is that maybe our opinions about the expansion are too emotionally driven. Emotions, being transient, may not represent lasting opinions. This is simply a call to consider the expansion in a rational sense.

The point here is not to say TBC was bad, as I very much enjoyed it. It is simply to say that your memory of it is also highly emotionally driven. Not everyone hails it as a masterpiece, and for the same reasons, could be alternatively considered in a rational account.
I'd almost rather let the irony speak for itself, but I must indulge... Are you aware of what logic is in any formal sense? I would imagine not, given that your line of "logical" reasoning is fallacious in various ways. I won't bother considering your "formal" argument structure given the fact that your conclusion is scarcely related to any premise that is not "my opinion is", "my preferences are", "my dislikes include".
Furthermore, I never indicated your comment as one being referred to in any negative sense, or any for that matter. I actually appreciated that you took the time to express your opinion, however much it is just that. If you'd notice, my original post included a few possible points that may have influenced the perception that Cataclysm was a bad expansion. I never said it is not a bad expansion. You can hardly claim logical reasoning when you did not consider your opposition's argument, and have no more than a loosely formed opinion of your own. Best of luck to you in your "wisest enhancement shaman" endeavours.
