What would you say is the most enjoyable of the 3: BFA, SL, or WoD?

[Makaloff]

Warlords by far, why? while there was lack of content, the raids were fun as hell and classes werent butchered for wierd fantasies (outlaw rogue, seriously if i wanted to be a pirate i would mog my gear to look like one. Survival hunter, why they made it meele i will never understand and they ruined a specc that been loved and cherised for over a decade. Demo lock, do i need to say more?). Seriously, i gladly have wod over BFA and SL any day.

You can see how infested this site is with trolls by looking at the first 3 replies. They didn't play during WoD.
Even BFA was miles ahead of WoD

People dislike systems and "mandatory" grind. WoD had none of that nonsense. If you were a raider this expansion was golden, just like MoP.

[bmjclark]

BfA. Despite it's flaws, 8.2 was one of my favorite patches

[Darknessvamp]

It's a tie between WoD and BfA for me, all of the expansions pale in comparison to the others released (like MoP which daily quests for valor, reforging and PvP being the biggest complaints) with Shadowlands definitely being the worst in all aspects while WoD suffered from Lack of End Game for a long time and an unsatisfying cut short expansion when the story still had potential and direction to develop (SL's really doesn't) while BfA had some pretty terrible systems with Anima Powers and Corruptions (yet not as bad as SL), dreadfully bad writing in parts and wasted characters (SL still tops that by assassinating entire expansions worth of development). Yet it's hard to point at one and go that was worse. Though WoD did have the better leveling and garrisons were interesting at the start before it quickly went downhill while BfA had problems from launch.

No, there's absolutely nothing good about Shadowlands. Not a single thing. There were many good things in Warlords that people have already mentioned in this thread so I won't repeat them.

Yeah I'd rather have nothing than a bunch of shitty systems. Seems that a lot of people felt the same way and unsubbed.
What's different this time around is that now there's actually a viable alternative game. This time there's a very real possibility that the people who've been let down again and again are gone for good.
MMORPGs are a huge time investment, most people only have time for one. Pissing away your customer base like Blizzard has done since Ion took over is a really bad way to run a game of this genre.

WoD had an entire patch for twitter integration and a selfie camera (which, by the way, has been broken for years now). The Mythic tier sets for the last raid were ugly as fuck, and Tanaan Jungle makes Korthia look like a masterpiece.

As bad as SL is, it cannot touch WoD in terms of suck.

SL - > WoD - - - - - - - - > BfA.

[Venziir]

WOD obviously. It was before Ion took over and this systems driven design mess began.

Erm, Ion took over before WoD launched.....

[Linri]

WoD hands down. I actually played the entire expansion, I enjoyed PVP immensely during this xpack.

BFA and Shadowlands barely held my attention for a combined total of 3 months (between the two xpacks).

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

WoD was shit but at least it had the good class design of MoP.

[guisadop]

WoD leveling was great. Garrisons were fun and had a little seed of potential there, but they wasted it.

gameplay-wise it was the worst at the time for sure, pruning was literally no fun allowed

Ion didn’t take over until post legions laun

WOD. At least I could just raid log and tend the garrison garden for all my supplies.

[Itisamuh]

Truth is, you would be "doing better" if you did the same content that those players do, but you dont do that content.

And as I said, I have no interest in that content. No other end game activity requires you to do others to be sufficient for it. If you do normal difficulty dungeons or raids, getting normal difficulty gear, you will never randomly come across mythic difficulty bosses while doing them.

[Jester Joe]

You mean the mandatory grind of getting a legendary ring on any character you wanted to play? All SL has is renown, dunno why people keep acting as if it's a grind when its so quick to do.

WoD was absolutely the worst.
Raid or die being the absolute worst thing to be stuck with. Both BfA and SL beat it out solely because of M+ alone. The amount of guilds that just collapsed because of the mythic raiding change too, which just escalated the faction divide issue.

No, but you WILL play with other players who have chosen to raid heroic or mythic, and they will greatly outperform you. If you want rated, competitive pvp it exists - you can do that content, blizzard provide it for you.

Blizzard have offered you a solution to your "problem", rated pvp, and you CHOOSE not to play that content. This is on you, no one else.

[Kathranis]

No, Legion is when they started pruning classes and locking abilites behind the stupid artifact weapon.

That's a flat out lie. The pruning happened in WoD: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/ne...-garden-of-war

Legion tried to counterbalance the pruning by giving players new stuff through Artifacts.

[Nerovar]

I don't know, it's like saying that for dinner, WoD's plate with three peas on it is worse than SL's plate with a pile of literal shit on it.

WoD didn't have much content, but we could play alts for variety, on the other hand, SL's Jenga-tower of systems makes even thinking of doing all that again on an alt a very off-putting notion...

Pretty much this. When I started to feel a bit bored with the content in WoD I levelled my WW monk pretty much entirely through arena skirmish and had an absolute blast because back then even low level characters felt more fun to play than max level characters do these days and Blizzard hadn't aborted their PvP community yet so people actually queued for skirmish even in low level.

That's a flat out lie. The pruning happened in WoD: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/ne...-garden-of-war

I mean specs like Frost DK lost ~15 spells going from WoD to Legion and glyphs were removed. You bars were absolutely barren when the pre-patch hit the servers.

[whywhatwhowhenhow]

Legion....

[Echocho]

Erm, Ion took over before WoD launched.....

True but WOD was already well underway at that point. Legion was the first expansion that was 100% "his"
