Did OP try and really argue his opinion as a fact?
Seriously?
Well in that case I guess my opinion that the Moon is actually just a giant face covered in shaving cream is a true. I don't know how I feel about that.
Since when was wow ever serious? Its always been tongue in cheek and full of pop culture references. I was actually just lamenting the other day that there isn't ENOUGH tongue in cheek stuff in MoP. I was hoping for a lot more Monkey Magic references
Couldn't disagree more. The expansion has easily been the best the game has ever produced.
The things NPCs say does not make the immersion for me, the zones and areas themselves do.
Don't see how you could look at the Jade Forest as a whole and not have your breath taken away, or any of the raids this expansion.
Mogushan vaults alone really solidified this expansion's presence for me.
Regardless even if the dialogue is less than serious, if you are so upset about it that you need to make a thread complaining you may not be playing the game for the right reasons.
I think part of the problem in vanilla is that the content is spread out, and was at the time, time consuming. So you wouldn't run into the stuff constantly and when you did it was some nice levity to break the pace. When an entire expack can be leveled through in less than a week on a tiny island with silliness happening everywhere, it isn't the occasional humor breaking the pace, silliness is setting the pace and it only gets broken up by the rare serious bits.
Really? I love the Paragon's speech right before the fight. I think it's such an awesome idea to have the Klaxxi live up to their promise of "When the time comes, we'll be against you".
I agree MOP was much more light hearted compared to all the other expacs at the beginning, but everything after 5.0 was fantastic.

Ideally no one has ever hit the level cap of the last expansion, looked at their dungeon blues, and thought "I win."

I love WoW, before and now. I don't see the giant satire comedy and poor themes you do in MoP. In fact I feel MoP did the best job in telling a concrete story compared to some of the other expansions (BC and Cata).
Nothing in this statement makes any sense. Now, I don't agree with anything you say, but I think maybe a better title would be something like "I think MoP is a silly expansion." See what I did there? Proper grammar, correct word usage, and it is clearly recognizable as a subjective statement.
Someone has obviously forgotten the quest in Borean Tundra where you have to dig through wolf feces.
I don't think the issue is that WoW has silly stuff. It was nice to break things up in vanilla. The problem is with the amount of silly stuff. I could easily go a week if not a whole month without seeing anything silly in vanilla. In MoP you cannot go a single day. Hell even in BC and wrath there was silly stuff here and there but you weren't constantly running into it.
Stop throwing around buzzwords like "immersion" all the time, you don't know what it means and immersion in games is only possible and desirable to a limited degree.
I think the OP never met Subject Nine...
Post #32 was way too far in for someone to mention it. I got worried. There was also the one in Hellfire with Felguards or whatever they were called again. And the one where you scare the shit out of the bats in Howling Fjord. And the part where you swallow seeds in Grizzly Hills, take to the outhouse to drop a deuce, and get the seeds back. I thought there was others, but between 9 years of this game and 5 versions, you lose track.
But yeah, the OP is way off by thinking this game was serious. I mean, it was serious, but it was peppered all over with silly things. MoP, to me, felt much like typical American Asian film how they're often so calm, joyous, and peaceful-like, and then things get real. The last time I can remember Warcraft being totally serious was Warcraft III. Either way, with the amount of time spent on the game, if it was serious for the entire 100s or 1000s of hours I played, I'd probably lose it.
Personally I feel retarded pop culture references and shitty jokes definitely went up by a decent amount since warcraft's inception. I don't mind some of these along the way but it got quite excessive.
Not sure who that is pointed at, but immersion is a very real issue. Just because we aren't talking about full on virtual reality doesn't mean you can't get sucked into a game. Granted I don't get anywhere nearly as immersed in online games as I do solo RPG games because anal jokes are a constant reminder you are playing an MMORPG. That said there are times playing Rift where I will be really immersed in the game working on a quest and big chunks of the environment will disappear and reappear over and over again and that shit really breaks you out of the zone. Similarly in WoW everytime I say a panda bouncing across my screen I have to sigh and roll my eyes. A variety of things can reduce the amount of immersion you feel in a game, and much of it is subjective and varies from player to player.

Agreed. If they are going to try and make the game funny they should just hire Matt Stone and Trey Parker to South Parkify a WoW.
The gorillas in ungoro drop barrels. Nuff said.
