Ok the hozen were pretty much all poop jokes but still i chuckled at some of the jokes. Some humor isn't misplaced in a game like wow. Also what's wrong with the scenery? I liked it.

Storywriting really did it for me. I don't think I've ever seen anyone writing themselves to a dead end as much as this guys did in mop. They just drove straight to a brick wall.
Why isn't the alliance conquering orgrimmar and capping up decades of warfare? Afterall orcs were a massive bulk of the horde's forces.
And how will tensions between horde and alliance rise again? they really did leave in good terms, since you know, varian could have simply destroyed everything?
Extremely poor writing. At times seemed improvised.

No. Not really. Vanilla, tbc and wotlk didn't have as many pop references and humor and this is simply a fact. Sure you can keep saying what you're saying but you know, it doesn't make it true.
Are you seriously telling me that Warcraft 3 was meant to be a silly kids game with all the betrayal and genocide and well, war? Or that WoW's massive arcing plots about demonic armies and undead necromancer kings weren't meant to be taken seriously because the game had a character who's name sounded like Link, or because theres a guy who's kind of like Inidiana Jones? No, I don't buy it.
As PCZone said in their original review for WoW, it's not called Warcraft because its light and fluffy.

Yeah, you parroted what I said back at me because you think thats a super clever thing to do.
Well they can't do that because of gameplay reasons. Gameplay trumps lore all the time. As for tensions, does it matter? Was the Horde and Alliance at war in Vanilla through WOTLK, no they weren't. Did they leave in good terms, well yes because he let the Horde be and no because he and the Alliance will crush them if they pulled another stunt. Obviously it makes sense that Org became occupied by the Alliance from a lore standpoint, but they can't. As for right now the Horde are in a weaken state compared to the Alliance and the Alliance let them be. We will find out more when WoD comes out.
They say your name was Evie
They say you were a sweet girl.
I never knew you... but you were family.
May your journey in the next world be filled with joy and beauty.
Farewell, Evie Stormstout.
... she looked like Li Li...
So you're going to ignore the epic and dark storylines of the games because every now and then an NPC or quest has a funny name?
Fine, MoP isn't as bad with pop culture references as some people have made out, but please don't try to argue that Warcraft is basically the Simpsons, its insulting to a decade old franchise.
Uldum was way more satire than this entire expansion..
Not sure if serious?
Wow started off as a warhammer 40k clone cause they lost the rights or some shit so they made there own orcs v humans game and they have built upon that ever since
Blizz has loved to put in cheesy memes, injokes and shit ever since and have done so for as long as ive played the game
and people are NOW starting to complain about the jokes jeeez!
Firstly, based on that link you posted I really don't see how MoP has less than any expansion before.
Secondly, people don't take MoP seriously because the theme feels completely out of whack with the previous expansions.
Thirdly, what are you talking about? How is WoW not a serious franchise. I guess I misunderstood, was all the war and genocide and racism and ancient evil portrayed in the games meant to be funny and light-hearted?
I never said that. I used the kids movie thing as an analogy which appearently went completely over your head (which does not surprise me in the least). The analogy was about pointing out that complaining that MoP is not serious enough for a franchise that never took itself seriously in the first place is a really stupid arguement to try to make.
WoW is about death and war and fighting and genocide. It is also about clicking on sheep untill they explode, about grunts who get annoyed when you click them too often. About the Darkness calling, and forgetting to leave a message. It is about Kodos eating things bigger then they are and slowly digesting them. It's about goofy oneliners and over the top emo-drama-kings who end up being raid bosses.
For all its War and Death and Violence, WoW has NEVER taken itself as seriously as some of you people think it has. If you want bleak, grimdark, oh so serious wank, go play one of the Warhammer games. WoW is not the game you are looking for, no matter how much you want to pretend it always was and that MoP broke it with it's "childish" Panda people.
He ignored it because that wasn't was he was responding to. Look to what he was responding to to see WHY he said what he said. Djalil said it was a fact that MoP and Cata had more pop culture stuff, Kangodo proved him wrong. There was NOTHING in Djalil's response towards Kangodo that he was talking about epic and dark storylines. I suggest you read again why he didn't mention anything about dark and epic storylines.
Don't talk for me, I took MoP seriously. I bet quite a few people took MoP seriously so don't generalize. MoP has all the serious things you said, war, genocide, racism etc. You are contradicting yourself here. Oh wait a min, is it because it has Pandas? Are the Pandas themselves make the dark themes in MoP go away? How do Pandas themselves take away those themes?

FOR FUCK SAKE THIS SHIT AINT SHAKESPEARE ITS A FUCKING GAME
Christ why do people read so much into this shit
This is just a video game i wish the lore was better but blizz sold its soul to activision a long time ago and ive learnt not to take this tripe seriously
To me the quality of the pop culture references has gone down dramatically, also the concentration of them is different. The list of Kangodo is all good and well, but you have to take in account the difference in "landmass" where they were spread out over as well as the speed in which you encountered them.
