I've played the game casually (1 raid night per week = heroic deathwing down with 15% buff) and hardcore (Realm First! Grand Crusader while ToGC was still current). I've raided in Vanilla and every expansion. I've had to form 5-man heroics without dungeon finder. I've had to pay a relatively large amount of gold just to ride a ground mount. I've gathered resist gear for resist fights. I've done attunements.
And after all of that, I still think that the game gets better and better with every expansion. Comparing Vanilla to the current game? You're damned right I don't like much of anything from the original! It was unbalanced, annoying, and plain old stupid. Hey, look, Paladins, Druids, priests and Shamans are healing classes! One progression raid night requires hundreds of flasks and perhaps thousands of potions! Bosses drop 4-5 pieces of loot to be shared between 40 people! Oh, and if a guildie quits, you have to run the replacement through every previous tier, despite the fact that you haven't run it in months, before they're worth anything.
I could keep going, but I doubt any of this will sink in.
