I don't think Cataclysm was as bad as we think.

To the original poster: Cataclysm was every bit as bad as we think.

Tol'Barad and the raid instance were ok. WG and VoA were x10 better though. And let's not forget 4.1 content consisted of two rehashed raids as 5 mans. Firelands and the Molten Front dailies were decent I thought, better than the Isle of Thunder dailies at least. But then we finished with the worst raid tier to date and 3 lackluster dungeons. For comparison, the ICC dungeons shit all over the DS ones. Especially heroic HoR, which was very hard for an appropriately geared LFG party. And finally, of course, the MoP intro (which I'm including as part of Cata) which was the absolute shittiest pre-expansion release in every stretch of the imagination possible.

All I really remember about Cata outside of raid nights was doing TB dailies and being afk in Org. Cata also killed off pug raiding for my old server with the 10/25 shared lockout BS. All in all a pretty bad expansion.
