I was talking to a friend today about 6.2 most likely being the final patch of WoD.
If this is true, and I am inclined to believe so, then I think personally I will be a little disappointed.
If we compare WoD to WotLK:
On release WoD had 1 raid and 8 dungeons. (raid was held back for a month I think it was. i remember spamming dungeons on my rogue and thinking 636 was a high ilvl until HM heroic)
WotLK had 3 raids, 2 with one boss and naxx, a re-used raid, obviously it hasn't been CTRL+C, CTRL+V from vanilla, but the skin is the same, right?
WotLK had many more dungeons (I cba to count) while not at the same quality as WoD ones probably due to technology, they were all completely new.
WoD got Ashran which I haven't personally played in enough to make a judgement. From what I hear it was a big flop, though.
WotLK got strand of the ancients BG
WotLK got DK class as much as we all despise them, it is a fun class.
WotLK had Wintergrasp which I loved
WoD got Garrisons which I really enjoyed at first, now I'm impartial to them. i cant really be bothered to log in to check them now
well theres some short comparisons i'm sure I missed a lot of things and I'm probably biased towards liking wotlk more and cherrypicking, but when I think about it it comes down to:
WoD will have 3 raids, two tiers of gear, 8 dungeons
WotLK had 3 at launch, ulduar, ToTC (with a daily area with mounts/weapon/titles/pets), and ICC. there are a lot of dungeons in wotlk, i cba to look up how many.
WoD had 2 patches since release, 6.1's selling point (i say selling point, but it was free ofc) was twitter integration, races at the faire and the selfie camera. I do love the selfie camera and twitter integration but it was poorly timed IMO.
6.2 will have no new BG's, a new zone, 13 boss raid, new demon models, etc. etc.
I am biased towards wotlk as it's my favourite expansion and I'm aware that they had a lot more subs then, so they could probably afford to produce a lot more content a lot quicker, but looking back at it I'm not so sure I like a two tier expansion that ends in a year. not for the most expensive expansion yet. what do others think? would you pay £35.00 for another xpac of WoDs, length/amount of content?
