We have a lazily written excuse of a story that literally could have been a bad fanfic, the main feature is one of the most barebones and uncustomizable forms of player housing I have ever seen, iconic abilities are being removed under the alias of "ability pruning" (I don't care what they say, I still believe that they just want to balance less abilities), flying is entirely disabled for ill-explained reasons, there are no new races or classes to play with...
But you know what's the worst part of all? The fact that no matter what we will do in this expansion, and no matter what will happen, it will have no impact whatsoever on the Warcraft universe as a whole. It was extremely obvious from the start that Mists of Pandaria was a filler expansion with no real significance, but it at least tried to shoe-horn in some Old God mythos with Y'shaarj. But Warlords of Draenor, it doesn't even make a single attempt to be relevant! And sadly, I fear that if Blizzard attempts to somehow make it relevant to the core Warcraft universe, it will break the story even worse than WoD already has.
I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again; Warlords of Draenor isn't an expansion pack. It's just overpriced DLC, and a poor one at that. This guy will not be suckered into buying it.
