Is BFA or WoD the worst expansion?

[Netherius]

Class design in WoD was WORSE

[zharkos]

wod was only bad because it had a lack of content. bfa is bad because it has a ton of content that isnt fun

[Nehem]

@zharkos I can agree with you, and I can't agree with @Netherius cuz in both expansions class design is 3,5/10

[Eon Drache]

I voted for BFA being worse. Neither one really has much outdoor content. The world still feels small. And honestly, I could buy the whole time travel, dimension traveling dragons over the faction war after everything that's happened.

Story was slightly better in WoD
Raids were MUCh better in WoD
Class design (For paladins and retribution specific) goes to WoD.
Outdoor content sucks in both. I can't honestly give a point to either.

Wod still had some of the best class design the game has ever seen, the raids while few were still quality. Dungeons were great as per usual, the questing was fun.

Wod's major failing was funneling the entire outdoor reward structure into garrisons and then expecting players to stay in them. Which honestly for me was fine, because I have 0 desire to do dailies or the world quests that followed. I was perfectly happy spending that time watching shows or playing other games.

BFA on the other hand is weighed down by outright bad class design amongst other things. But thee most important things, classes and the progression system designed to keep you playing (azerite) are poorly designed and you experience everything through these two things. This situation is just outright worse.

Or to put it another way, I played through the entirety of wod even during the end of xpac content drought. I have pretty much stopped playing for the first time in almost a decade after a couple months of BFA.

WoD (for what I hear) was like going on vacation on a paradise-like island with first-class catering and hotel service, but only for a couple of days.

BfA is like going on vacation for two weeks but on an asmathic car that can barely make 10 miles without breaking, and spending the night on a third-category, flea-infested hovel. Sure, you have a lot more time (i.e. content) to spend on vacations, but does it make up for how !@#$ty is the experience as a whole?

[Xath]

Because game systems are so important while sitting in your garrison.

WoD was a bad expansion

BfA is not the best expansion, but neither the worst.

Legion > MoP > BFA > TBC > WOTLK > WoD = Cata

Content matters when you unsub because combat is awful and the gearing system feels like going to a casino /s

Also fucking lol at your rankings

Wrath > TBC > MoP > Legion 2nd half > Cata > Vanilla > Legion first half > WoD >>>>>>> BFA

Great poll with 2 options. Very useful.

[huth]

It's only between BFA and WoD.

It would have been if you had asked which is worse. Instead, you asked which is worst, making "neither" a valid option.

[Alkizon]

And how is this different from that one?

[Azardea]

So far, BFA. I had fun with WoD, even if not as much as in MoP or Legion. BFA is just... ugh.

Depends on what you played then compared to now. Also every ranged had better design with WoD.

As a Boomkin, i rather disagree with that assertion.

[Irian]

It's hard to say for now, but from what I've seen BfA is far worse. It's the only expansion that made me completely lose interest in the game to the point where I've been unsubbed for a good while now.

That being said BfA can still at least partially redeem itself. If Blizzard pulls another "abandon it and move on" douchebag move with BfA then I'm not coming back for the next expansion regardless of what it is. It feels almost morally wrong to support a company that's willing to openly lie and manipulate its own customers.

[VladimirM]

For my Cata was the worst expansion. Cleared everything too fast (broke both arms during firelands so didn't raid it sadly) and dailies were too horrid.
For me WoD was pretty good, I was in good guild, we cleared everything in Cutting Edge, i enjoyed quests and garrison. In BfA not raiding due to living on another continent so I am just leveling and doing stuff that I like or miss from previous expacs so I cannot complain at all.

[huth]

From those two BfA is the worst. I didnt quit playing WoD just month after launch and thats exactly what i did in BfA. There just isnt anything worthwhile to do if you dont raid. Island Expeditions suck ass, Warfront is useless, Azerite gear is disappointing and daily quests are as boring content as watching paint dry.

Atleast in WoD you had your Garrison to work on if you didnt raid and in Legion you had your artifacts and classhall to spend your time on. In BfA you have fucking nothing to do...NOTHING!

In short, you forgot how little options outside of raiding you had in WoD. You just complained about more and larger BfA features than WoD had total, and you forgot about M+ while at it.

notice how i said "almost".

[Agrias2x]

BFA by far.

[Sevyvia]

Hard to say, but I do still think WoD was worse. For now. But we're comparing a past expansion to one in progress.

WoD had no content, but other than a 2 month break, I still played.
BFA has content, but I'm not playing.

[Neuroticaine]

I was surprised to see that BFA has a 3.1 user score on metacritic (not that those are to be taken super serious anyway) while WoD has a 5.

Metacritic user scores are almost always a garbage metric.

This thread is a hilarious example of some rose tinted glasses. Neither of these expansions were the worst by a mile.
