    Yeah right legion is right up there with WoD and BFA. As in it was utter garbage. I actually like SL the most out of the most recent ones.

    This was the last expansion before Activision made Blizzard hyper-optimize the game for sales rather than for fun and good gameplay

    Also what a stupid name, wrath of the lich king? That sounds like someone on the offensive, instead he spent most of the time on his toilet , I mean throne..occasionally he would pop up just to troll the players..

    Lich king wasn't very wrathful (angry) just shrugged most of the time, did some schemes, n after rogue forsakens threw some WMDs on him, he hid for the rest of the expansion..

    Though Cata was bad, everyone was afraid of deathwing popping up n going biblical on ur ass...

    Wotlk should have been called "Bored Lich King n more snow than u care to see"

    Wrath should have been saved for Cata, "Wrath of Deathwing"
    Several times he tried to end us all... while Arthas "I poke u guys so YOU come to me, u don't understand how lonely i am! i'll even claim I need specifically YOU to conquer the world (when really I could do it without u, but im sooo lonely, I have only braindead zombies to talk to! n everyone else just fawns over me n im bored of that by now, so plz visit my winter wonderland, we got ice cream!!!!"

    While deathwing "IMMA KIIL YU AALLL, KEEEEEL!!! DIEE!! DIEEE!!!! DIE!!!!"

    I mean cinematic after arthas dies is fear of the scourge sweeping over azeroth...so they never needed some heroes to convert, not even the lich king..
    Can only agree with all of this. The Lich king introduced the cartoon villain meme by popping up, losing, yelling `` I get you next time´´ through all of wrath. It was quite a pathetic show of a villain but children loved it and love it to this day, the scardy edglord threatens them with his ´´infinite ´´ power

    and then to end it with "haha I meant to lose everything, now I will turn you and then have super powerful minions"

    And also his plan was to turn the heros into his generals while also wasting his best general in Darion at lightshope which also gave his enemys a weapon and symbol to counter him later on.... like wat...

    But to be fair Arthas is stuck in the mind set of a growing man with not much experience I guess

    Kind of defeats the purpose.
    this is exactly why i was done at TBC classic. too many changes and many of them promote AH bots, gold farmers and run sales.
    when i saw the laundry list of changes to Wrath classic, i got sad, lost hype and here we are...k
