CATA 100%. Leveling was quick. Gearing regardless of pvp or pve was quick and painless. All around great experience.
I still say anyone that thinks cata wasn't the best all around wow expansion as far as gameplay is either crazy or didnt play it.

Wod obviously, free tokens.
Legion for sure, dunno whats up with SL, i do like it but meh for alts
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange Aeons even Death may die.
Same and that's how I got burned out. Also you have to consider that Legion had some of the better ability to level alts from WoD level to Legion once invasions became a thing as it became super easy and fast. BfA invasions worked as well, but it was basically the same thing.
From level 1 to max? WoD. Leveling was so fast and fun even in the last 10 levels. The XP potions, the heirlooms were still crazy OP, enchants and everything. Aaah. I leveled many many characters in WoD.
WoD no questions asked. That expansion left me with nothign to do but level alts or find a different game to play.
The world revamp dream will never die!
WoD everyone made millions from doing garrison across multiple chars.
WoD, although funnily enough not for the gold. It was the last expansion before shadow priests were ruined, and leveling generally still felt ok.
The last time I had more than 2 characters at max level was WOD because the leveling was fast, Now that being said I didn't play much longer than the first raid tier becasue of lack of content. For me it would have to have been Cata leveling was perfect Fast took maybe a night or 2 to level from 80-85 and you could gear up quickly later in the xpac on alts. But I had 4 characters at max level in 4 weeks in Cata which I have not done in entire xpacs since then. The game from WOD on made alts impossible and this xpac makes it too easy to get to 200ilvl on an alt. I leveled and geared 2 and got bored and have unsubbed.
WoD (garrison $) made me level them
Legion made me enjoy playing them
Legion. Order halls, Order hall mounts, mage tower and gameplay was fun on all classes.
Legion, for sure. I had one of every class maxed out for the Artifact weapons and Legion Hall stories.
Was adding 1-2 max level characters for each expansion from vanilla forward, but Legion was the one where I finally had one of each (for them Mage Tower appearances).
The pre-Legion invasions were a huge source of levels for a bunch of opposite faction characters as well, but BFA was where most actually hit max level. Ended BFA with almost 20 characters at max level.
Legion, Mage tower was super fun and rewarding. Still happy I got all 36.
Been playing WoW since launch, usually always had a main, and maybe one or two alts, no more. But Legion was the first time, I actually created several brand new characters to try and do the Class Hall stuff and get the cool artifact appearances and Class mounts. So for 10 years I only had like 3 characters, then by end of Legion had like 8 characters.
WotLK. I made a druid, hunter, priest, rogue, dk, and shaman alts during it. The next one is Legion with the dh and monk.
