List all WOW expansions played including vanilla . Then please list what you like and disliked about each one also note if you raided that expansion
Vanilla .
Very grindy . High cost of mounts . My main had difficulty handling multi mobs with no pocket heal.However when I did accomplish something it gave me a sense of satisfaction. Exploring the world was fantastic part of the game . Dismounting in water was annoying and some wonky mechanics were major issues.I did however learn a lot by the end of it.I did not raid but leveled smoothly into TBC.
TBC .
Some grind but bearable . Helping key quite a few people for raiding was tedious ( I hate murur to this day). Playing as prot grinding quests was the same..tedious . Introduction of flying mount was pretty awesome . Mechanics were decent for at least warrior and mage . I played and raided with both during that expansion. Cost of re-talenting your toon was just too much . I refused to do it. Group make ups for raids could be touchy but could usually be gotten around with a bit o finagling . I did have to Xfer servers to raid higher tiers as the population on our home sever just wasn't there to do it. The 25 mans especially .
Wrath .
Same grind but again bearable. I love how everyone says that this expansion was so casual friendly. It wasn't that way till you over geared it or was carried through it. Loved the different questing zones starting out I hated Borian tundra, and was glad to have the other zone to level in. There was a fluid feel about leveling . Dal as well designed as it was , just couldn't support some realms populations and there were lag issues constantly .Same goes for raids at launch lag issues to the point we couldn't raid . It was the midway through Ulduar patch that just fked everything up . The release of TOTC was too early in my opinion . Oddly enough I believe that was also the patch that introduced lfd. I could be wrong though. I raided all the way up to ICC .Toward the end too many people left game and I had some real life issues come up that just took my drive away to finish.
Cata.
Was excited at first and started off with the same mindset . Do regulars , then heroic , start raiding . After doing the regulars something happened and I didn't even have the drive to run heroics and I tried. I ended up loathing the hurry up and wait proccy mechanics of the whole fking lot of classes. I hate goblins and hate the fake accent worse. Hell I don't really even like the mounts. Stone drakes in particular look awful to me. As far as what I like about it. I guess the sparklie visual stuff some of the mechanics do , but even that has a downside . I can't tell if I need to get the fk out of it or stay the fk in it as a tank. As far as raiding I have no desire to raid Cata.
