there is not a SINGLE valid opinion to be found in this thread but mine. BC was best.

MoP>WotLK>Cata>Classic>TBC
WotLK > TBC >>>>>>>>>>> Cata > MoP
Each of expansions had its "pros" and "cons". But Cata and MoP are clearly made by other developers with completely different paradigm.
Vanilla > TBC > Wrath/MoP > Cata. I just loved that feel in vanilla where it actually felt like a world and took awhile to travel forcing you to see everything. Also raiding with 39 others just felt more epic.
If I was to go with quality of an expansion it would have to be
MoP > Wrath > TBC > Vanilla/Cata
The poll and title are very misleading, but this is probably the best functionally while 3rd best nostalia wise.
From gameplay alone, I'd have to say TBC>MoP>WotLK>Classic>Cata.
For personal experience, I'd say WotLK>TBC=MoP>Classic>Cata.
BAD WOLF
MoP was a really good expansion overall. I've been playing since Vanilla, and I will admit that MoP did leave BC in the dust for various reasons. Not to mention what most people miss about BC is the nostalgia. I remember when BT hit everyone was complaining that it was released to quick and bla bla bla. They hated the dailies in Terokkar Forest and Blade's Edge Mountain. forming groups for some of those heroics would take a while to get done based on the server and players you were with. Raiding was only for guild that could access raiding and you needed to unlock them via a quest line for attunement. Don't get me wrong it was good I liked it because I was part of it and got the attunement done etc but for people who just started playing the game there, I'm sure they will say Wrath was more friendly to them than BC ever was. For those who never got a chance to see BT, or even Sunwell (Once again and island with dailies that people hated) the only real raid they did was Karazhan (Which was really cool imo but did his time). So I still think it depends on how you position yourself and which type of player you were back than and today. My order would go like this but again that is my personal opinion.
1) MoP
2) Wrath
3) BC
4) Cata
Have a nice day
TBC>>>>>>>>Wotlk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MoP>>>>Cata
To the guy above, Isle of Quel'danas was some one of the best content updates, ever. You cant say that "everybody" hated it. It brought content and one of the best places for world pvp, ever.
Hi
Not attempting to removing anyones opinion but just adding something about when LFR released to counter the nostalgia comments- LFD was not met positively at the time either. There wasn't this massive positive rejoice over it and I know the only reason I personally accepted using it sometimes was because the heroics were so easy. Throughout most of wrath and to this day I would almost only queue with friends, in wrath more often full group queues as everyone was familiar with it back then.
Sure some people accepted it at first, but for a lot I imagine it was a rough change as people slowly succumbed to blizzards new way, and as less people made manual groups the leftovers had to do LFD. I'm not exactly sure when it became the norm, maybe about 3.3? Compared to I believe the 3.1~ implementation.
1. The Burning Crusade
2. Mists of Pandaria
3. Wrath of the Lich King
4. Cataclysm
Apart from TBC being first by far, while WotLK and Cata were both disappointments and mostly negative for me, I feel like MoP has been able to restore a lot of the positive things to the game again.
Hard one for me to answer. I have plenty of good memories of Cata, since its first tier was excellent, but it was the first expac that made me quit for awhile. would prolly rank it WotLK = BC > MoP > Cata
I was actually comparing only TBC and MoP to each other, kinda stating my reasons why I think they are tied in my list. In WotLK I preffered the dungeon (awesome design and not too hard, MoP has the same difficulty), the raids (Ulduar and ICC are the best), maybe not the PvP, the storytelling (Scourge FTW), questing (non linear and good quality) and features (LFD saved me from the /2 trade hellhole)
mop / cata has been utterly dissapointing. So dumbed down gameplay. instant there instant here, cc breaker there cc breaker here.
Boring, bad just purely unsatisfying.
TBC / WOTLK <3.
Vanilla <3 if u never played before.
for me its WotLK just in front of MoP with Cata a bit further back and TBC bringing up the rear by a long way .
I would put WOTLK first but having a hard time ranking the others as they are so different from one another. They each had their plusses and minuses. MOP for instance I enjoyed that all the zones are all on the same continent but I am just not feeling the story aside from the Jade Forest.
TBC > WOTLK > MOP/CATA.
TBC - I'd be playing just over a year when it released, before TBC I'd tried casual/slightly hardcore raiding and played for ranks in PvP too, I had made plenty of friends and was really looking forward to the new raid. I didn't have much interest in Arena at all when it released... however, one of my closest ingame friends at the time really wanted me to play with him... so I caved in and gave it a go... it was some of my best times in WoW.... I loved my guildies, enjoyed raiding, loved Arena.
Wotlk - I really liked the zone Northrend, I enjoyed the quests, I enjoyed achievement raiding in the first tier, Naxx was quite a let down however, playing a Fury Warrior made things fun because they were just retardedly OP. Arena was awful at the start, especially 2s with those fucking Keyboard turning DKs steamrolling everything in their path. Overall I had my fun, but it was the first expansion where I unsubbed out of boredom and looked for other games, something that I never thought would happen.
MoP - Didn't really enjoy the questing experience, Didn't really enjoy dailies for rep, LFR very quickly became Dull, talent system is pointless for me (casual), Low level pvp is horrid, yet... theres just something I like about MoP and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Cata - Questing was alright at parts, really enjoyed the 5 mans especially Grim Batol which felt like a slightly old school 5 man, only raided in Firelands though after quickly getting bored of the VP grind and quitting along with my guildies. Firelands was quite poor (my feelings) however, playing a new spec really kept me interested... I also liked my new guildies quite alot... DS LFR was a good laugh, I didnt hate it... but I didn't think it did justice to Blizzards endgame reputation.
